Chapter 338: Chapter 338 He Is My Lawful Husband

Unless Third Master Quan steps in...

Unless...

Third Master Quan...

Steps in...

Shen Huan couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, this idiot, she’s bought it hook, line, and sinker.

Looking at Mu Tiantian, still smug, and then at Quan Jinbei, on the verge of a breakdown, he decided to give her another warning, "Ahem, I advise you to think carefully..."

"There’s no need to think anymore!" Mu Tiantian was very pleased with herself, "I have thought it through very clearly!"

"I, Mu Tiantian, am saying it right here and now, I can definitely do it!"

Shen Huan: "..."

Forget it, she’s beyond saving, might as well cremate her on the spot.

...

Quan Jinbei watched her making her fierce declaration and chuckled softly.

Then, he walked toward Mu Tiantian.

Mu Tiantian instinctively took two steps back, "You... what do you want to do? Don’t come any closer!"

Seeing her wary expression, Quan Jinbei’s lips curled up, "Didn’t you want to fight? Why... are you scared now?"

Mu Tiantian was a bit cowardly, "Who, who’s scared? I, I’m just not ready yet, that’s all."

"Oh~" Quan Jinbei deliberately elongated his tone, "Are you sure?"

"What a joke, of course, I’m sure. Who do you think I, Mu Tiantian, am? Would I, Mu Tiantian, be afraid of you?" Mu Tiantian huffed self-righteously, "I’m not scared at all!"

Ignoring Mu Tiantian’s trembling legs, her words had some semblance of credibility.

"You... keep your distance from me!"

Mu Tiantian, seeing him continue to approach, couldn’t help but shrink her neck and ran toward Shi Yaoguang, "Yaoguang! Look at him, this jerk is actually intimidating me!"

"He dares to intimidate me in front of you, you can only imagine what I endure when you’re not around, wuwuwuwu..."

Shi Yaoguang, watching her suddenly start to play the victim, felt somewhat helpless, "Weren’t you just thinking about dueling him? Now you’re being intimidated by him?"

Mu Tiantian shamelessly nodded, "Yes, yes, I originally thought he was a gentleman, so I wanted to compete fairly with him, but I didn’t expect him to... he actually..."

Shen Huan rudely exposed her pretense, "Are you sure it was a fair competition? Who was it that used her status as the young mistress to oppress others?"

Mu Tiantian’s eyes widened, "Shen Huan, can you even speak properly? What do you mean I used my status as a young mistress to oppress people? When have I ever done that? Am I that kind of person? Have I ever done such a thing?"

"I am the young mistress after all, it’s only normal for him to be in awe of my status, isn’t it? It’s not like I could just abandon my status to compete with him, could I? Would I still be Mu Tiantian then?"

Listening to her slick defense, Shen Huan mused, "From what you’re saying, you think using your status to pressure someone isn’t a problem?"

"Pfui pfui pfui, I already said, I haven’t used my status to pressure anyone! This status is something I was born with!"

Shen Huan, barely holding back his laughter, nodded, "Alright, alright, since you say so, then I’ll take it that way."

Mu Tiantian glanced at him, "Do you really understand?"

"I really do, I completely understand," Mu Tiantian nodded, "That’s more like it."

As she spoke, her face showed suspicion, "But why do I feel like what you say doesn’t seem genuine?"

"Where does it not seem genuine?"

Mu Tiantian puzzled, "Do you really stand up for me?"

Shen Huan: "I haven’t stood up for you."

"Then why do you echo what I say..." Mu Tiantian meant that by agreeing with her, Shen Huan was acknowledging that her threatening Quan Jinbei with her status didn’t count as using her status to pressure someone.

Shen Huan nodded, "I did indeed agree with what you said, but, how do you know I’m on your side? Perhaps the pretty boy you look down on has a higher status than you."

"How is that possible?" Mu Tiantian obviously hadn’t considered this possibility.

"If he really was nobler than me, why would he stoop to being Yaoguang’s pretty boy?"

Shen Huan just smiled without saying a word, "Have you heard him admit himself to be a pretty boy?"

"Ah?" Mu Tiantian was clearly taken aback.

"This... does this even need admitting?"

"Besides, he didn’t deny it, did he?"

By this point, Mu Tiantian was already very uncertain.

Although she was a young lady, she still had a sense of danger.

She hadn’t noticed before, but now...

She inexplicably felt like she was being watched by a starving wolf.

"Well... actually, I think..."

Shen Huan lifted his chin, pointing in Quan Jinbei’s direction, "You don’t need to explain to me, you should tell him."

Mu Tiantian: "..."

Her legs trembled even more, and when she looked at Quan Jinbei, her eyes were filled with fear, "Well..."

"What, what is your identity?"

Quan Jinbei’s tone was somewhat mocking, "My identity?"

"Mhm, mhm."

"Don’t you think I’m her gigolo?"

Listening to Quan Jinbei not directly answering the question, Mu Tiantian’s heart skipped a beat.

Under normal circumstances, if Quan Jinbei didn’t have any special identity, at this moment he would definitely be nervous.

The first thing he would do is explain his status.

He would tell her that he had no special status.

He was indeed Shi Yaoguang’s gigolo.

But...

He hadn’t.

Mu Tiantian nervously looked at Shi Yaoguang, seeking confirmation, "Ya... Yaoguang..."

"Is he, who is he to you?"

Shi Yaoguang didn’t hesitate and said two words, "My man."

Mu Tiantian: "..."

She scratched her head, "No, I didn’t mean that."

"Hmm?"

"I mean, does he have any special status with you?"

"Of course," Shi Yaoguang said in a very casual and natural tone, "He’s my lawful husband."

"Crack—"

Mu Tiantian felt like she could hear her own heart breaking.

Quan Jinbei, on the other hand, had removed the mask from his face at this point.

Mu Tiantian finally saw his real face.

This so-called gigolo, the reason he covered his face with a mask was not because he lacked good looks for capital, nor because he was afraid of being targeted by Quan Third Master for being Shi Yaoguang’s gigolo.

It was entirely because...

He himself...

Was the real deal!

The more she thought about it, the more Mu Tiantian felt the urge to slap herself.

How could she be so stupid?

She couldn’t even see the obvious.

Thinking of Shen Huan’s repeated reminders, she was drowning in remorse internally, "That... "

She licked her lips, cautiously sizing up Quan Jinbei’s expression, and said weakly, "That... Quan Third Master, please pretend I never said anything, I didn’t say anything..."

"I’m afraid that’s not possible," Quan Jinbei said without a hint of mercy.

Mu Tiantian immediately felt disheartened, looking at him as if she were looking at a monster, "What... what do you want to do?"
