Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Don’t You Ever Get Angry with Sister

The reason the old master of the Quan Family trusted Ye Qian’an so much wasn’t without reason.

There were plenty of applicants for the family doctor position in the Quan Family, and the reason that Ye Qian’an was picked by the old master was that she had passed his strict scrutiny and assessment.

Ye Qian’an was competent in medicine, had a good character, and didn’t seem to have any obvious preferences.

The old master even intentionally had someone pretend to be from a rival family multiple times to test her, but no matter what was offered, she never wavered.

Such an impervious person naturally didn’t give the old master any reason to distrust her.

But what he didn’t know was that Ye Qian’an wasn’t without preferences, it’s just that her preference was too peculiar.

She had probably fallen for a childhood betrothal.

In this lifetime, she would marry no one but Chen Shu.

The temptations of money and power used by the old master to test her were nothing compared to Chen Shu.

In Ye Qian’an’s eyes, staying with the Quan Family, she would definitely have a chance to meet Chen Shu.

Even if Chen Shu was doing it for Quan Jinbei, he wouldn’t deliberately avoid her.

But if she left the Quan Family for some money or power, then...

She and Chen Shu would probably never cross paths again.

After all, Chen Shu’s attitude was the complete opposite of hers.

As long as Chen Shu was willing, they could go their entire lives without seeing each other again.

Chen Shu knew this, and so did Ye Qian’an.

Only the old master of the Quan Family didn’t know.

Because of this lack of information, the old master missed his chance to know the truth.

Once "seduced" by Chen Shu, Ye Qian’an truly had no principles left.

After conducting a token physical examination for Shi Yaoguang, Ye Qian’an showed a surprised expression.

"This is—"

The old master of the Quan Family couldn’t help but ask, "What’s wrong?"

Ye Qian’an told him, "Mrs. Quan is pregnant."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone present varied.

Shi Yaoguang then started to laugh triumphantly, not hiding her joy in the slightest.

It took her quite a while before she finally put on a delayed, exaggerated expression of surprise, "What? I’m actually pregnant?"

"Is it really true? I’m so happy!"

Seeing her like this, Quan Sicheng couldn’t help rolling his eyes.

Shi Yaoguang had known she was pregnant all along, and now she wore that expression. How hypocritical!

Shi Yiqing felt her nails digging into her flesh.

Shi Yaoguang...

She...

Was actually pregnant!!

Shi Yaoguang turned her head and met her resentful gaze head-on.

Instantly, she laughed merrily, "My future daughter-in-law, your fiancé has a little brother now, happy?"

Shi Yiqing clenched her teeth and ignored her.

Shi Yaoguang tsked regretfully, "I’m talking to you, why are you ignoring me?"

Shi Yiqing, with a cold face, said, "Don’t push your luck!"

"Have I pushed my luck?" asked Shi Yaoguang with feigned innocence. "In other people’s families, when a daughter-in-law gets pregnant, the father-in-law would gift private jets and yachts and whatnot. I haven’t even asked for anything yet, how have I pushed my luck?"

Shi Yiqing: "..."

The old master of the Quan Family: "..."

Quan Sicheng: "..."

You’re shameless!

Saying you didn’t explicitly ask for it, but isn’t this a clear indication?

Internally scoffing, she dared not let her face show any odd expression.

Shi Yiqing, out of jealousy, became lucid and asked the most important question, "How old is the child?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qian’an provided a rough timeline.

Shi Yiqing thought back and realized, wasn’t that around the time they got engaged?

The reason Shi Yaoguang had been in such a hurry to get engaged with Quan Sicheng was, although she did not speak of it overtly, she actually had heard some rumors beforehand.

Back then, Quan Jinbei had been ill, and the engagement was somewhat meant to bring him luck.

Now, everything had gone awry.

Back to the main point.

Shi Yiqing knew that during that period, Quan Jinbei had still been sick. With his fragile health, as though on the brink of death at any moment, even if Shi Yaoguang had all the tricks in the world to seduce him, he would have lacked the strength to respond.

His health seemed to have improved later, but this did not change the fact that he had been incapable of consummating the marriage initially.

In conclusion, Shi Yiqing reasonably suspected that the child Shi Yaoguang was carrying was not Quan Jinbei’s.

The timing of her pregnancy was almost certainly that night she was trapped in the hotel.

Considering this, Shi Yiqing felt a surge of satisfaction.

How arrogant could Shi Yaoguang get? As long as she proved the child wasn’t Quan Jinbei’s, Shi Yaoguang’s confidence would surely collapse in an instant.

With this thought, she was in high spirits.

Her gaze towards Shi Yaoguang held a tiny bit of gloating triumph.

She superficially congratulated Shi Yaoguang, then casually broached the subject of the pregnancy’s timing.

"If I remember correctly, the time you got pregnant was around the day Brother Sicheng and I got engaged, right? Speaking of which, the Third Master’s health wasn’t very good at that time. How did he manage to get you pregnant? Or perhaps, you two had known each other for quite some time?"

After saying that, she covered her mouth, "Ah, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to speculate. I’m just a bit curious."

Shi Yaoguang’s expression stiffened and then she angrily said, "If you know you shouldn’t say it, then you shouldn’t have opened your mouth! You’ve said everything good and bad, what should I say?"

Shi Yiqing feigned panic, "Sister, are you angry? I didn’t mean it, and in fact, I didn’t say much, after all, I’m genuinely curious..."

"Heh." Shi Yaoguang scoffed coldly, "You didn’t say much? If you didn’t say much, why guess at the timing? Is it not okay for my husband and I to have a good relationship? Does it concern you if he could do it seven times in one night? Just because you can’t have it, don’t covet someone else’s man!"

Her words were venomous, but the more emotional Shi Yaoguang got, the more convinced Shi Yiqing became.

Shi Yaoguang must be feeling guilty.

Otherwise, she could’ve simply refuted the allegations herself.

As this occurred to her, she went on to say, "I really didn’t imply anything, you’re just too sensitive, Sister."

Shi Yaoguang retorted harshly, "How many times have I told you not to call me sister? I don’t have a sister like you!"

With that, she huffed and turned to leave.

Shi Yaoguang ran off, leaving Quan Jinbei sitting in the wheelchair.

Shi Yiqing looked at him and said, "Third Master, please don’t be angry with Sister. It’s all because I said something I shouldn’t have. Sister isn’t angry because she’s guilty, she’s probably just... just unhappy..."

She deliberately made it worse, her heart looking forward to Quan Jinbei’s reaction.

As for what Shi Yaoguang said about doing it seven times a night, Shi Yiqing didn’t believe it for a second.

Quan Sicheng often worked out, and even he couldn’t manage it seven times in one night, let alone the frail Quan Jinbei.

Furthermore, how could a man who was impotent perform such an act?

Unless Shi Yaoguang had drugged him, forcibly taking the lead?

If that were the case, that would explain things.

But, any man treated this way by a woman would surely not be pleased, right?

With these thoughts, Shi Yiqing felt increasingly smug.

Quan Jinbei’s reaction didn’t disappoint her. Seeing his complexion turn livid, she spoke again, "Third Master, please, don’t be mad at Sister. After all, she’s carrying a child."
