After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 376: A Kiss for Telepathy

Chapter 376: Chapter 376: A Kiss for Telepathy

I assumed Shi Yiqing would create quite a stir, but it turns out she’s just trash.

The stage was all set for her, and this is what she showcased?

After so many days, she still couldn’t bring the Wei Family to their knees.

Just the thought of it is enough to make one disdain her.

What Shi Yiqing didn’t know was that, her efficiency had already disgusted Shi Yaoguang.

At this moment, she was still smugly pleased with herself.

As long as she could get the Wei Family to accept her, she had ways to squeeze Shi Yaoguang out of the heir position.

Compared to the Wei Family, the Shi Family wasn’t worth mentioning.

As long as she had the Wei Family in her grasp, everything else would naturally fall into her lap.

What did Shi Yaoguang count for?

She would simply be crushed underfoot!

While Shi Yiqing was lost in her daydreams, Shi Yaoguang was the one actually striving on her behalf.

There was no other way, as Shi Yiqing’s "career-mindedness" was strong, but her lack of efficiency was simply unbearable to watch.

How unbearable was it?

It had reached the point where Shi Yaoguang, the "rival player," had no choice but to give her a push.

Quan Jinbei, watching Shi Yaoguang busy herself in the study, was somewhat curious, "Are you doing all this to help Shi Yiqing?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded, then shook her head, "Yes and no."

Quan Jinbei raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

"I do want to help her, but..."

She paused, "But it’s not in the way you might think."

Quan Jinbei didn’t quite understand, "I think I might need a translator to understand you."

"What do you need a translator for? Just kiss me, and we’ll be on the same wavelength, won’t we?"

Shi Yaoguang had almost subconsciously blurted out that line.

After she spoke, both she and Quan Jinbei were stunned.

She hadn’t anticipated such words coming out of her mouth.

Shi Yaoguang didn’t expect to suddenly slip up like that either.

The words she’d just said had come out completely without thought.

Naturally and without preparation, she said them.

Looking back on them now, she felt a bit embarrassed...

"Ahem."

She cleared her throat, trying to forcefully steer away from the topic as if nothing had happened, "What I mean is—"

Before she could finish, Quan Jinbei, supporting his frail body, had already risen and come over to her, leaned down, and placed a kiss on her lips as light as a dragonfly skimming the surface of water.

Their lips met.

Their eyes locked.

A subtly romantic atmosphere began to spread.

Quan Jinbei looked at her, blinked, and coughed lightly, "I can explain."

Shi Yaoguang raised an eyebrow, "Explain?"

Quan Jinbei said, "I think what you said makes a lot of sense."

He gently touched his fingertips to his lips and declared seriously, "After kissing you, we really are on the same wavelength."

Shi Yaoguang: "???"

She looked at him blankly, clearly not believing what he was saying.

What does he mean by really being on the same wavelength?

She had just misspoken.

Where is it said that a kiss would let someone know what the other is thinking? If that were true, it’d be mind-reading!

"Ahem..."

Quan Jinbei fist to mouth, asserted confidently, "I’m telling the truth, I really didn’t know what you were planning before, but now I do, I think, that should explain..."

Shi Yaoguang smiled cheekily and made a stop gesture, "I don’t think this proves anything."

Watching her feigned smile, Quan Jinbei hesitated briefly before deciding...

to go along with her.

Well, a wife needs to save face too.

He understood.

As for what she intended to do, whether or not he knew the deeper meaning, what did it matter?

As long as he stood by her side, that was enough.

Thinking this way, Quan Jinbei’s demeanor became even more natural.

So much so that Shi Yaoguang began to wonder if he was serious.

But they didn’t dwell on this question for too long.

Because...

Shi Fan had arrived.

Since Shi Fan had been taken back by Zhan Miao, there’d been a period of time when he hadn’t returned.

Even though it was agreed before that Little Shi Fan could make an exception and come back to the Quan Mansion every day,

Shi Yaoguang had been filming abroad recently, and Quan Jinbei had followed her, even acting as her pretty boy assistant for a while.

Even if Shi Fan came back to the Quan Mansion, he was alone.

In such circumstances, he stopped coming back.

Then, he accompanied Zhan Miao on some not overly dangerous missions.

That was the reason he was absent for such a long time.

Upon seeing her, Little Shi Fan rushed over with excitement.

"Sister!"

The little guy clung to Shi Yaoguang; his baby-voiced tones were filled with profound longing.

"Sister, I haven’t seen you for so long, I missed you so much~"

He sweetly called out for his sister while cleverly asking, "Sister, did you miss me?"

Faced with the little guy’s puppy-dog eyes, Shi Yaoguang naturally had no reason to shake her head.

Receiving an affirmative answer, the little guy was overjoyed.

He looked at her and chuckled, "Sister, I’ve got to tell you, Uncle Zhan Miao and I were on a mission together and I got a really big honor. They’re going to give me a certificate, and once it comes, I’ll give it to you, okay?"

"Okay." Shi Yaoguang picked up the little guy, weighed him, and felt pleased with his size, "You’ve been living well with Uncle Zhan Miao recently, right?"

The little guy mumbled, "Living with Uncle Zhan Miao isn’t as good as with you, sister. If only I wasn’t so young, I would really want to be with you all the time."

Quan Jinbei, who had been coldly observing from the side, instantly emitted a low pressure at this remark.

The little guy felt his chill and weakly hid behind Shi Yaoguang, looking at him with wary eyes, "Uncle, are you thinking of doing something to me?"

"Killing to silence someone is illegal, you know."

Shi Fan said this with a bit of pride, "I’m now under national protection. If you bully me, it’s a crime within a crime."

Quan Jinbei: "..."

Shi Yaoguang couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Previously, Shi Fan had been somewhat reserved in front of Quan Jinbei.

This time, he seemed to have discovered a new world.

Not at all afraid of Quan Jinbei, he even dared to provoke him.

As she was thinking along these lines, Shi Fan spoke up again, and while his tone was that of an old soul, the words he spoke made Shi Yaoguang take note.

All she heard was him asking, "Sister, why is his health getting worse and worse?"

Quan Jinbei was startled by these words as well.

In front of Shi Fan, Quan Jinbei had never deliberately concealed his condition.

Of course, Shi Fan had not mentioned it to anyone else either.

But he had developed his own ability to judge.

Therefore, he could see that Quan Jinbei’s condition had deteriorated significantly compared to before.

"Sister..." The little guy tugged at Shi Yaoguang’s hand, walked a few steps away from Quan Jinbei to ensure he couldn’t hear, and then whispered in her ear, "Sister, did he become like this because of you?"
