Yang Sitong’s face turned whiter than snow as her entire body broke out in shivers.

To think that Lu Yanchen would throw out such terms! The reason why he did it was that he knew they were afraid of backing out of the marriage and could not afford to play with those stakes, which was why he was scaring them with it!

His intent was for her to not sniff that woman out!

He wanted to protect that woman! For that woman, he could even disregard that matter of him backing out of the marriage that year! That showed just how much he loved this woman!

Rage, fear, indignation, unrest... Yang Sitong was about to implode from jealousy for a woman that she had never even seen before.

‘Just what was so good about that woman that he had to take things to this step!’

She did not know what she should do as she looked over at her mother, hoping that she would make a decision for her.

Mrs. Yang’s lips were thoroughly dry as she was rendered speechless. Her thoughts were exactly the same as Yang Sitong’s—Lu Yanchen was only saying those words to protect that woman, to prevent the two of them from coming face to face with her.

But, she was afraid of the off chance...

‘What about the off chance that there was no woman in Lu Yanchen’s house?’

Lu Yanchen was never someone who would go back on his words. If they did not manage to find anyone...

“What’s the point of all this, Yanchen? Come to speak of it, you guys are an engaged couple...” Mrs. Yang tried persuading as she came back to her senses. “No matter what happens, you guys are going to get married. If things get blown out of proportion, it will not be good for you guys to get along in the future as well.”

There was no need for them to clash head-on and take the risk.

Lu Yanchen’s gaze turned colder and colder while pursing his lips gently. “I finally understand where Miss Yang learned her skills of ‘acting dumb’ from.”

There was no need to mention how terrible Mrs. Yang’s face had turned on hearing that.

“It’s getting late now, Yanchen, so we should get going,” It was just a mere woman. If he wanted to play with her, so be it! At the end of the day, he was still going to have to marry their Sitong.

And besides, even if she could escape this time around, she couldn’t hide forever.

As Mrs. Yang said that, she pulled Yang Sitong up.

“So, you wish for things to blow over that casually...” Lu Yanchen curled his lips coldly. “Now, what do the two of you think my house is? Even if the police wants to search a place, they have to produce a search warrant. Since I permitted you guys to search and made a deal, you guys must not give up halfway!”

Lu Yanchen’s insistence was not to be questioned.

“What?” Yang Sitong turned around to look at Lu Yanchen with an incredulous expression.

They were going to leave now—shouldn’t this be what he wanted?

They were already going to let that woman off, so why was he still being so insistent about it?

The body of Mrs. Yang froze up momentarily as her tone went dry. “Yanchen, why are you doing this? The reason for our presence here today was for Sitong to apologize to you. If we can get to meet that girl, that’s fine, and if we can’t, forget it then! Why do you have to turn things as such? No matter what, our Sitong saved your life back then.”

She had always told Sitong that she must not always harp on the deed of her lifesaving grace for Lu Yanchen normally, because the more she said, the less impact something like that would have on one’s guilt.

However, she had no other choice but to raise that up here.

Clearly, Lu Yanchen had laid a trap for Sitong. It was all for the sake of leaving her with no choice but to break the marriage agreement.

She then sighed out once more, advancing under the guise of retreating, “Yanchen, it’s actually all my fault at the end of the day! It’s because I didn’t manage to teach my daughter well, which is why she committed such a foolish mistake because of her love for you! If you can’t vent your frustration today and really need an avenue, do it on me then!”

Lu Yanchen’s lips curled coldly as he replied indifferently, “Vent on you? She left and returned with you. Isn’t that because you’re an elder and I can’t do anything to you?”
