Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Attracting Bees and Butterflies

"Don’t come any closer!"

An Siqi’s eyes were tightly shut as she shouted with a trembling voice.

Shi Yaoguang looked at her cowardly appearance, tugged at the corner of her mouth, and faintly let out two words, "Afraid of me?"

An Siqi took a step back while stubbornly retorting, "I’m not afraid of you."

"Not afraid?"

Shi Yaoguang continued to move forward until she was less than a fist’s distance away from her, causing An Siqi to finally break down.

"Get away from me!" she screamed sharply, her gaze towards Shi Yaoguang filled with defensiveness.

Shi Yaoguang shrugged her shoulders, spreading her hands to show innocence, "Weren’t you not afraid of me? Can’t handle it already?"

"I... I’m not afraid of you, don’t get too smug!" An Siqi was still talking tough, "I’m... I’m just worried you’d suddenly turn into a pervert, that’s all!"

Seeing her making up poor excuses, Shi Yaoguang found it quite amusing.

She chuckled lightly, "So that’s it... then I’ve misunderstood you."

An Siqi huffed, "That’s right, you’ve misunderstood me!"

"If I’ve misunderstood you, that’s my bad. Why don’t you tell me, how should I apologize?"

Hearing Shi Yaoguang say this, An Siqi was a bit dumbfounded, "Apologize?"

She thought herself lucky enough that Shi Yaoguang wasn’t settling scores with her, let alone imagine getting an apology.

She never expected Shi Yaoguang to say something like that.

"What, are you surprised to be so favored?"

"No... no..."

Surprised to be so favored?

She didn’t feel any favor, only shock remained.

Shi Yaoguang, watching her in a fluster, patted her face and said earnestly, "Look at you, with such little courage. Why follow others and not learn the good stuff? But instead learn to snatch someone’s man?"

"Snatch someone’s man, can you even succeed?"

An Siqi was immediately displeased at hearing this.

"Why wouldn’t I succeed?"

"Hmm?" Shi Yaoguang raised her eyebrows, "It seems that indeed, you have impure motives?"

"I... I didn’t mean that!" An Siqi still refused to admit it.

It didn’t matter if she didn’t admit it; Shi Yaoguang had her ways to make her concede.

"Whether you admit it or not is irrelevant to me; as long as I know what’s going on, that’s enough."

An Siqi bit her lower lip, her expression unwilling to submit, "I don’t know what you’re talking about, stop spouting nonsense here!"

"Oh..."

Shi Yaoguang drew out the tone, gesturing to Quan Jinbei with her finger.

Quan Jinbei was very cooperative, "What is it, my dear wife?"

Shi Yaoguang snorted, "Somebody here has taken a fancy to you, what do you think we should do?"

Quan Jinbei frowned, looked around from side to side, then showed a puzzled look, "Is there someone here?"

An Siqi: "..."

You may not love, but please don’t hurt!

Why was she deemed unworthy to even be considered a person?

Is this how people behave?

An Siqi felt aggrieved.

Yet, facing this pair of "wretched couple," they just wouldn’t let her be.

Shi Yaoguang pointed at An Siqi, her tone clearly surprised: "There’s a big, living person standing right in front of you, don’t you see her?"

"A living person?"

Quan Jinbei looked at An Siqi with a face full of surprise, "Had you not mentioned it, I would have thought there was just air standing here."

After speaking, he shook his head: "No, no, air isn’t like this."

"This..." He glanced An Siqi up and down before saying, "This might be a source of pollution."

After saying that, he reached out and pulled Shi Yaoguang’s wrist, creating a distance between her and An Siqi.

"Wife, stay away from this source of pollution, don’t get contaminated."

Shi Yaoguang smiled amiably, "Okay."

An Siqi looked at the two of them putting on an act in front of her, unable to help twisting her face in anger, "Shi Yaoguang, what do you mean by this? Do you have to humiliate me like that?"

After saying that, she looked at Quan Jinbei with a grieving expression, like she was staring at a heartbreaker, "You treat me this way too?"

Listening to her whining tone, those who didn’t know any better might think Quan Jinbei had some affair with her.

Quan Jinbei was not a man of good temper, to let a woman covet him time and time again.

"You can’t just say anything you like." With that, he hurriedly explained to Shi Yaoguang, "Wife, I have nothing to do with her, you mustn’t misunderstand."

Shi Yaoguang’s eyes shifted, irritation apparent on her face, "I know you have nothing to do with her, but the way you attract bees and butterflies, it makes me very unsatisfied."

Quan Jinbei hung his head, looking a picture of shame.

An Siqi was dumbfounded.

What is going on here?

Attract bees and butterflies?

Is that how the term is used?

While she was pondering, she heard Quan Jinbei continue with his shocking remarks, "Wife, I know I was wrong, from now on when I go out, I will definitely wear a veil so no one else can see me. I absolutely won’t cause you trouble, please don’t despise me, okay?"

Listen to that pitiful tone.

Look at that frail, pitiable face.

Is this what a family head is supposed to be?

He’s clearly just a pampered pretty boy, isn’t he?

Just when this thought flashed through her mind, Quan Jinbei spoke.

"I only have you to rely on now, if you don’t want me, then I might as well be dead..."

As Quan Jinbei spoke in his pitiful tone, Ming Yan, who had been enjoying the drama, felt his teeth ache from the sweetness.

He rested his chin on his hand, couldn’t help but wonder if he was going to be silenced.

After all...

He knew too much that he shouldn’t.

"What’s with that expression?"

Quan Jinbei glanced at him.

Ming Yan immediately sat up straight, not daring to act out of line.

Seeing his reaction, An Siqi fell into confusion again.

Who exactly is Quan Jinbei?

If he really was the third master Quan, he wouldn’t indulge Shi Yaoguang like this.

Not to mention saying things like he couldn’t be without her in front of others.

But if he wasn’t the third master Quan, then...

How would one explain Ming Yan’s attitude?

Although she didn’t know what status Ming Yan held, she could be sure it was no simple matter.

If his status was not simple, then...

The person he treated with such caution obviously wouldn’t hold a simple status either.

In light of this, she became conflicted.

Seeing her expression, Shi Yaoguang shrugged her shoulders, "Do you really want to know what his status is? To make sure whether you should keep trying to seduce him?"

Her thoughts plainly spoken, An Siqi felt irritated.

"I am not!"

Shi Yaoguang shook her head, "Is that so? I thought you knew my husband was of no low stature and wanted to take advantage to start something with him."

"By the way, you should know who my husband is. He’s not in good health and might at any moment..." Shi Yaoguang said, pretending to wipe her eyes.

"He could go at any time, and I am in constant worry about him."

As she spoke, she paused for a second, "However..."

An Siqi’s curiosity was piqued, "However what?"

Shi Yaoguang, "However, he still has the ability to father children."

An Siqi’s eyes suddenly lit up.

In an instant, she even had a name picked out for her future child.

If she could bear offspring for the third master Quan, wouldn’t that allow her to soar to the heavens?
