Chapter 336: Chapter 336: If You Can’t Be the First Wife, Be the Second Wife

Mu Tiantian was startled by the man’s gaze but still mustered the courage to stand up to him. "Hey, do you have any manners? Even if you’re a colleague like me, you can’t look at me like that, right?"

"If we became competitors, it would be your skill to intimidate me, but now, I’m still Yaoguang’s classmate, and we have equal status. Tell me, what gives a pretty boy like you the right to look at me this way?"

"You’re still looking? Do you believe I can have Yaoguang discipline you when we get back?"

Mu Tiantian bluffed with feigned authority, her heart racing with panic.

It must be said, Quan Jinbei, wearing a mask next to Shi Yaoguang, was indeed susceptible to misunderstandings.

If it were someone else, it wouldn’t be so easily misunderstood.

But the problem lay in the fact that...

Shi Yaoguang’s husband was famously frail.

As everyone knows, a frail person can’t do much of anything.

Performing marital duties? That’s even more impossible.

If a man, due to health issues, can’t fulfill his marital obligations, and the woman, out of frustration, finds herself a "little wolf dog", wouldn’t that be only too normal?

But here’s the thing.

With Jinbei’s identity being what it is, he—a heavyweight in power—was not someone just anyone would dare to provoke.

If he found out that his wife had such a man by her side, openly acting as her protector, wouldn’t he become enraged?

They say when an emperor is angry, a million corpses lie strewn. Although Jinbei might not be an emperor, the power he holds is virtually no different from that of one.

Under such circumstances, who would dare to provoke him?

Even if someone fearless enough—lured by the benefits Shi Yaoguang could offer, and her beauty, was willing to be her secret love affair, it doesn’t mean he would dare to make a bold appearance by Shi Yaoguang’s side.

All things considered, the best way for Shi Yaoguang to keep a pretty boy would be to have him cover his face.

Only in this way could the safety of the pretty boy be ensured.

Whether others thought this way or not, Mu Tiantian had no idea.

But this was what Mu Tiantian herself believed.

That’s why she found the pretty boy in front of her to be nothing special.

"Hey, I’m talking to you. Can you show some reaction? We’re competitors; who is nobler than the other?"

Upon hearing this, Quan Jinbei let out a cold snort.

Mu Tiantian glared. "What are you snorting at? I’m not joking with you, I’ll have you know! I’m not your average little girl. This kind of aura you’re putting on might intimidate others, but it won’t scare me, don’t think you can bluff me with your cold airs!"

"Make no mistake, my family might have a bit of money, not just anyone can intimidate me, got it?"

Watching her puff up as if she was about to sprout wings and fly, Shen Huan couldn’t stand it any longer.

He raised his hand, covering his eyes as if he couldn’t bear to watch Mu Tiantian potentially get bloodied on the spot.

Naturally, Mu Tiantian noticed his gesture and snorted, "What’s with that expression?"

Shen Huan curled his lips, "I didn’t provoke you, did I?"

Mu Tiantian, "You certainly did provoke me! Have you lost your face? If not, why would you cover it up?"

Shen Huan, hearing this, felt this person was just being unreasonable, "Do you even know what you’re talking about?"

Mu Tiantian rolled her eyes, "Nonsense, how could I not know what I’m saying?"

"Very well." Shen Huan snapped his fingers, "Since you know what you’re saying, then I ask you, what are you saying?"

Mu Tiantian was stumped for a moment, then confidently, hands on hips, declared, "Of course I’m fighting for my status."

"After all, Yaoguang and I have a history; our relationship has always been good, and it’s not something any random pretty boy can interfere with."

Seeing Mu Tiantian’s arrogant demeanor, Shen Huan really couldn’t stand it, "You keep saying ’pretty boy,’ who gave you the courage?"

"What courage do I need?" Mu Tiantian rolled her eyes again, unfazed, "Isn’t he just someone who relies on his looks to get by?"

Mentioning relying on looks, she hesitated, "This pretty boy is always wearing a mask, who knows if he’s even good-looking? It might not be his face he’s living off."

She pondered, gaze drifting down slightly, speaking to herself, "If the pretty boy isn’t making a living off his face, then he must be living off his body."

"If that’s the case, I suppose I really can’t compete..." she muttered, her tone filled with frustration, "Why was I born a girl? If I were a boy, I’d definitely be a handsome hunk with a great build and high attractiveness. With my looks, whether I’m the one providing or being provided for, it would be a piece of cake!"

Thinking this, Mu Tiantian felt quite disappointed.

Quan Jinbei, who heard her talking to herself clearly, had a dark expression, "What daydream are you having in broad daylight?"

Mu Tiantian, mocked, got a bit angry, "What daydream am I having? I should be asking you that! What are you trying to imply?"

"Isn’t it just that you look a bit better in figure? There are plenty of handsome, well-built guys who like Yaoguang, and they’re not lacking one like you. Let me tell you, the market requires core competitiveness, and with someone like you, one glance and I can tell you’re not young..."

Shaking her head, she continued, "People like you, I urge you to retire early and go take care of some rich widow. A little fairy like Yaoguang has plenty of caretakers. Even if I don’t have your natural assets, I have other methods."

"Besides, there’s a saying I find quite true, ’The firmness of a high schooler can compete with diamonds.’ Do you think you can manage that?"

"To age gracefully, you know? You’re not young anymore, and you must have made a fair amount of money over the years, right? Since you have the money, you should quit this line of work early and take your savings to find a wife and live a good life. Don’t be thinking of all sorts of nonsense all day, you get me?"

Listening to her heartfelt advice, Quan Jinbei’s face didn’t look too pleased.

If it weren’t for the mask concealing it, Mu Tiantian might not have dared to talk to him like this.

Mu Tiantian had a temper too.

Seeing that her words had come to this and he was still indifferent, she couldn’t help getting angry, "I’m talking to you, did you hear me?"

She huffed indignantly, "Don’t think you can just play dead with me, I’m telling you, I won’t accept it!"

"Hmph." Quan Jinbei scoffed, "What do you want me to say?"

Mu Tiantian chuckled, "You don’t need to say anything, just be sensible and make way for this young lady."

Quan Jinbei raised an eyebrow, his tone growing more dangerous, "Make way for you?"

"Mhm-hmm." Mu Tiantian snorted lightly, her chin lifted in arrogance, "If I can’t be Yaoguang’s main wife, then I’ll be her second wife. As for you..."
