After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 169: Would you be happy if I gave you a little brother?

Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Would you be happy if I gave you a little brother?

Quan Sicheng’s face stiffened, and then with an ugly expression, he looked at Quan Jinbei, displaying a look of contempt.

"Did you know she was already married before you got together with her?"

Quan Jinbei nodded as if it were a matter of course, "I knew."

Quan Sicheng’s frown deepened even more, "You, you knew she was a married woman, and yet you still got involved with her?"

Quan Jinbei looked affectionately at Shi Yaoguang, his tone resolute: "I am with her, not with her family. What’s wrong with that?"

Listen to that, are those the words of a human being?

Quan Sicheng was shocked by Quan Jinbei’s shameless words.

Shi Yaoguang also showed a bit of surprise.

Meeting her surprised gaze, Quan Jinbei squeezed her hand and winked at her.

Although Shi Yaoguang didn’t know how he had suddenly changed like this, she still played along with him.

Quan Sicheng, seeing the two of them flirting right in front of him, couldn’t hold back his fury, and his look at Shi Yaoguang was filled with anger: "Shi Yaoguang, do you know what you’re doing?"

Shi Yaoguang shrugged, "Of course I know."

Quan Sicheng became even angrier, "You know what you’re doing and you still dare to act like this?"

"What’s there to be afraid of? He’s good-looking, has a nice body, and he’s especially..." Shi Yaoguang deliberately drew out her words, suggestively: "capable."

"He’s so outstanding, what’s there for me not to be satisfied with?"

Quan Sicheng felt his eyes were about to pop out; he had not expected Shi Yaoguang to be so blatantly shameless!

Just thinking about her brazen affair made Quan Sicheng incredibly angry.

Shi Yaoguang, seeing how he looked like he was about to explode with rage, raised an eyebrow: "You seem very angry?"

"Nonsense!" Quan Sicheng said with disgust: "Do you think everyone is as shameless as you?"

"Not really," Shi Yaoguang smiled meaningfully, "Some people have much thicker skins than I do."

Quan Sicheng, hearing her say this to him, subconsciously furrowed his brows: "What is that expression for? You don’t think I’m like you, do you?"

"Otherwise?" Shi Yaoguang countered directly.

Quan Sicheng was stumped by the question, "What do you mean?"

"Can’t you hear?" Shi Yaoguang spread her hands, "I’m saying you have no shame, no decency."

"You—"

Quan Sicheng’s chest heaved dramatically, "You’re just twisting the facts!"

"Tsk," Shi Yaoguang crossed her arms and sighed softly, "If you insist on brainwashing yourself like that, I can’t help it, but... I just want to tell you one thing."

"What?"

Quan Sicheng asked subconsciously.

Shi Yaoguang said cheerfully, "I’m planning to give you a little brother."

"What does you having a baby have to do with me..." Quan Sicheng’s words were cut off halfway when he suddenly realized what Shi Yaoguang’s words meant, and his eyes widened, "What do you mean?"

Hearing his anxious voice, Shi Yaoguang laughed even more joyfully, "Don’t you understand? Your father is about to have a son soon, his own biological one."

Quan Sicheng: "!!!"

In an instant, a myriad of thoughts raced through his mind.

What those thoughts were, only he knew.

Of course, his facial expression also revealed some information.

As an "adopted" heir, what Quan Sicheng relied upon was the fact that Quan Jinbei was born weak and would likely have no offspring in the future.

If Shi Yaoguang really did have a child for him, then...

What would be left for Quan Sicheng?

Shi Yaoguang admired the process of his changing expressions, and only after he had finally calmed down did she ask, "You might have a little brother soon. Are you happy?"

Quan Sicheng gritted his teeth and looked at her sullenly.

Happy?

How could he possibly be happy?

With Quan Jinbei having a son, he was the least likely to feel any joy.

Seeing this, Shi Yaoguang gave him a charming smile, "Actually, I was just teasing you earlier."

Quan Sicheng suddenly looked at her, his eyes filled with a hint of doubt.

Shi Yaoguang spoke again, "Actually, I... might not necessarily give you a brother."

Just as Quan Sicheng was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard her say, "It could also be a sister."

Quan Sicheng: "..."

He was so shocked that he felt his breath caught in his chest.

Shi Yaoguang continued, "Oh, and I should remind you that we no longer live in an imperial society, so... everything about the Quan Family doesn’t necessarily have to be inherited by a son."

"Besides, with me here, even if your sister is not a boy, I will make sure she gets what’s hers, undiminished. Don’t you think so?"

By now, Quan Sicheng didn’t know how to react.

He looked at Shi Yaoguang, his eyes brimming with complex emotions.

Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei exchanged a glance, reading the same message in each other’s eyes.

Quan Sicheng’s reaction most likely meant he was unaware of his true heritage.

If he knew he was, in fact, Quan Jinbei’s brother, rather than just an adopted child, he wouldn’t be reacting like this.

Even so, Quan Jinbei still harbored some dissatisfaction toward him.

However, he didn’t show it.

Actually, the reason he was deliberately affectionate with Shi Yaoguang in front of him was to test his father’s attitude.

Although the Quan family patriarch was not here at the moment, it’s never too early to start setting the stage, is it?

Quan Sicheng was closer to the old master than Quan Jinbei was.

Quan Jinbei believed that if anything were to happen to Quan Sicheng, he would seek out the old man immediately.

His and Shi Yaoguang’s actions were merely giving them an excuse to stir trouble.

He wanted to see just how biased the old man’s heart could be.

Quan Sicheng still didn’t know that his nominal father was right in front of him.

Nor did he realize that all his actions were within the other’s calculations.

At this moment, he felt nothing but collapse and panic.

Because of this, he even forgot about his promise to go on stage and present flowers after Shi Yiqing’s performance.

His mind was now full of anxiety.

If Shi Yaoguang were really pregnant with Quan Jinbei’s child, he didn’t know where he would stand.

As a man, he was acutely aware of the importance men place on their own bloodline.

If given the choice, he too would prefer to leave everything he owned to his own biological children, rather than to an unrelated outsider.

At the thought of these possibilities, the dread in the bottom of his heart grew even deeper.

Seeing him like this, Shi Yaoguang couldn’t be bothered to say anything more to him.

They were adults now, and some things they should start taking responsibility for.

Shi Yaoguang thought maliciously, she just wondered how Shi Yiqing would react after learning all this.

It was truly... something to look forward to.

...

While they were speaking these words, Shi Yiqing on the stage was also paying attention.

Shi Yiqing’s composure had already been rattled since Shi Yaoguang made her appearance.

Focused on watching them, she went on stage and even made mistakes while playing the simple piece "Für Elise".
