Chapter 281: Chapter 281: Actually, I’m Not from This World

Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei’s conversation was heard loud and clear by Leng Qianchen, who lay in bed.

Upon hearing their discussion about whether to give him a cellphone, making him believe that there was some "Space Button Grandpa" plan hidden within it...

Leng Qianchen was thunderstruck.

He simply and leisurely "awakened."

After waking up, his gaze wandered in bewilderment across the unfamiliar surroundings.

"You, who are you..."

Although Leng Qianchen had heard the two’s conversation just now, he didn’t know their identities.

After opening his eyes and taking a closer look, he faintly guessed.

Especially when he saw Quan Jinbei sitting in the wheelchair, he was certain of the thought in his heart.

"Third Master Quan? Mrs. Quan?"

Shi Yaoguang seemed very happy to see him wake up.

She flashed him a radiant smile.

Quan Jinbei seemed not very happy with his wife’s enthusiastic treatment of another man.

He forcibly obscured Leng Qianchen’s figure and only then responded to Leng Qianchen’s words, confirming their identities.

Although Leng Qianchen had heard their conversation just now, he still didn’t quite understand what they meant.

Therefore, he directly looked at Quan Jinbei and asked what he was curious about.

"Just now, it was the two of you who saved me, thank you both."

After he said this, he bowed his fists to them. "Forgive me for my ill health, I am unable to perform a grand ceremony at the moment."

Hearing this, Shi Yaoguang felt somewhat helpless: "You’ve suffered some very serious injuries, it’s best if you don’t move around. We do not need a grand ceremony from you."

"Rituals must not be discarded." Leng Qianchen said this but did not insist on performing the ceremony right away.

Shi Yaoguang looked at him, a touch of worry in her eyes.

Leng Qianchen was curious about their conversation he had overheard, but felt it wouldn’t be right to ask directly, so he took a roundabout approach to his inquiry.

"Cough... Did I just overhear the two of you talking about me? Do you perhaps know me?"

Quan Jinbei: "Foster son of the Leng Family, Leng Qianchen."

Shi Yaoguang’s eyes reddened as she looked at him, hesitant to speak.

Leng Qianchen took the opportunity to ask: "It seems Mrs. Quan has something she wants to say?"

Shi Yaoguang was clutching a handkerchief, covering her eyes, looking as if her heart was breaking.

If Quan Jinbei didn’t know her well enough to recognize that she wasn’t the kind to cry at the drop of a hat, seeing her wiping her eyes and her shoulders shaking, he might have seriously misunderstood.

However...

The play must go on in full swing.

"Wife, please stop crying, look, isn’t he alright now?"

Shi Yaoguang let herself be consoled by him, her emotions then somewhat subdued, "I’m alright..."

Saying this, she sniffed, "I just feel a bit regretful..."

Quan Jinbei gently patted his wife’s back, consoling her: "Stop being sad, isn’t he fine now?"

As he spoke, he also gave Leng Qianchen a glare.

Leng Qianchen felt a bit wronged by the glare.

"Third Master Quan, I..."

Quan Jinbei cut him off, "Don’t you see she’s worried about you? Can’t you report that you’re safe?"

Leng Qianchen: "..."

After a moment of speechlessness, he said stiffly, "Mrs. Quan, don’t worry about me, my health is very good; there’s not a single problem..."

Shi Yaoguang glanced at him, her eyes still red.

Leng Qianchen: "What’s wrong?"

Quan Jinbei glared at him again, "Isn’t it because of you?"

Leng Qianchen was very innocent, "I... what did I do?"

"Still asking what?" Quan Jinbei was quite impatient, yet he had to explain to him, "She’s heartbroken knowing about your ordeal..."

Leng Qianchen, after hearing him out, was quite speechless: "What, what’s there to be heartbroken about?"

"Because she has been through the same ordeal as you," Quan Jinbei said, sighing deeply, "If it wasn’t for that incident, it wouldn’t have come to this..."

He didn’t go on, but Leng Qianchen himself filled in a dramatic episode in his mind.

However, he was still a bit puzzled, "Mrs. Quan, how did you come to know about my family history?"

Shi Yaoguang moved her eyes away from the handkerchief, glanced at him, and continued to sob softly.

Leng Qianchen was panicked, "Mrs. Quan, please don’t cry, let’s talk this through calmly."

With a broken voice, Shi Yaoguang said, "I... I can’t control myself..."

Leng Qianchen: "..."

Having no other choice, he could only watch her sob for quite a while before she managed to speak about the incident.

"It’s a long story, but I am actually not from this world."

Leng Qianchen: "???"

What on earth?

He didn’t mishear her, did he?

Not from this world?

What was she then, a ghost of this world?

Shi Yaoguang seemed not to notice his shocked expression and sighed sorrowfully.

"Speaking of which, I actually..."

Leng Qianchen was eagerly waiting, but when the response didn’t come, he grew impatient.

"Would you please go on?"

Hearing his urging, Shi Yaoguang seemed to remember something and said, "I’m saying..."

"I had read a novel before," Shi Yaoguang spoke, hesitation in her eyes, "You might not believe what I say, or you might think it’s an utter fantasy, but I can assure you, everything I say is sincere."

Leng Qianchen hesitated for a moment, then his tone firmed, "No matter what you say, Mrs. Quan, I am willing to believe it."

Shi Yaoguang showed an expression of true joy, "Really? I knew Mr. Leng wasn’t the type with old-fashioned thinking."

As she spoke, she revealed a soothing smile, "Since Mr. Leng chooses to trust me, then I’ll just tell you straight."

With that, she took out the Space Button right in front of Leng Qianchen.

And continued to pull out a book from the Space Button, still in front of him.

Leng Qianchen looked at the book she handed over, stunned, "What is this?"

Shi Yaoguang pursed her lips, "This is why I know what has happened to you."

Leng Qianchen looked at the cover, which had fancy lettering, and seriously doubted if Shi Yaoguang was joking with him.

But her eyes didn’t seem to be joking.

Adopting a belief in possibility, he opened the book.

Glancing at the table of contents, he suddenly froze.

Right there in the table of contents, was information about the Leng Family.

He flipped to the specified page and began to read, his expression growing darker as he did.

The events described in the book and those that occurred in real life were virtually identical.

That meant...

What Shi Yaoguang said was likely true...

Leng Qianchen found the Chapters related to the Leng Family and began to read them word by word.

After he understood the content and the storyline, his face turned quite grim.

It was true...

All of this was actually true!

Some of the plot points in the book had happened to him in reality.

This was beyond belief.

It even included the agreement between him and Leng Yuchen, whether it was a secret or widely known information, including the secret chambers of the Leng Family.

All of it was in this book.

At this thought, his expression became even more bewildered.

Why would the events that happened to him match the plot of a book?
