After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 418 And I, Her Man

Chapter 418: Chapter 418 And I, Her Man

Once it was confirmed that Shi Yaoguang was indeed a normal human, the director’s eyes lit up with excitement every time they looked at her.

In fact, Shi Yaoguang had the odd illusion that she was being viewed as a prime cut of meat, the super delicious kind.

"Ahem, well..." the director rubbed her hands shyly, feeling rather embarrassed, "Master Shi, you are so impressive, would you be interested in participating in the recording of our show?"

Upon hearing this, the other guests also turned their gazes toward her in unison.

Shi Yaoguang had no intention of stealing anyone’s job and politely declined.

The director felt it was a pity, but also knew that Master Shi was beyond their means, so she had to give up.

After a series of misunderstandings, Shi Yaoguang drove the car deep into the territory.

It wasn’t until Shi Yaoguang stopped the car and said they could get out that everyone suddenly realized she had been driving all along while talking to them.

The fact that she could drive so steadily while conversing with them was indeed shocking.

But Shi Yaoguang herself saw nothing remarkable about it.

She calmly walked over to Quan Jinbei, took his hand, and pulled him up from the wheelchair.

After Shi Yaoguang captured everyone’s attention, a desire to explore emerged naturally, and of course, curiosity also fell upon the person accompanying her.

Shi Yaoguang hadn’t used any particularly clever magic; she had merely diminished her and Quan Jinbei’s presence.

When no one was paying attention, naturally, they would go unnoticed.

But as soon as there was a conscious desire to see them, their sense of presence wasn’t easily diminished.

So everyone knew that accompanying Shi Yaoguang, besides the Heavenly Master An Xiaoya, there was also a very handsome man in a wheelchair.

Everyone agreed that both Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei were exceptionally attractive.

If anything could be seen as a downside, it was Quan Jinbei’s legs.

Upon learning that the two were a couple, people couldn’t help but feel pity for Shi Yaoguang, thinking that such a wonderful person paired with a disabled person was quite a waste.

Even if the disabled person looked excessively handsome.

Shi Yaoguang was oblivious to their thoughts and wouldn’t have cared even if she knew.

Of course, everybody just sighed to themselves, and nobody was foolish enough to express these thoughts in front of Shi Yaoguang, as it would be like deliberately hurting her feelings.

To everyone’s surprise, it turned out that Quan Jinbei was not handicapped after all.

"He wasn’t disabled? Then why was he in a wheelchair?"

Someone couldn’t help but murmur curiously, only to hear their companion whisper mischievously, "You don’t understand, this is what the big shots like!"

The content of their conversation became increasingly sleazy after that.

Shi Yaoguang was speechless, but she didn’t bother to clarify anything.

After all, there was nothing to explain, and making a point of it would only make her seem defensive.

Once they got out of the car, the cameras arranged by the director finally served their purpose.

The psychic show host started reporting against the backdrop with a microphone in hand.

"Dear viewers, welcome to ’This is Not a Trick’! I am currently in the Mobei Desert, a place that I believe those who follow the psychic circles have heard stories about..."

After a lengthy introduction, the host finally began to introduce the guests.

With the variety show starting its recording, Shi Yaoguang roamed around.

Should she need to say any lines, the production team would pass her a slip of paper, prompting her to play along.

An Xiaoya accompanied Shi Yaoguang but didn’t stick close to her.

Because...

She was under the car.

After getting out of the car, Quan Jinbei kept holding Shi Yaoguang’s hand firmly.

Ignoring the harsh surroundings, just looking at the two of them could easily give the impression that they weren’t here for an adventure but were merely vacationing, hands clasped together.

An Xiaoya silently swallowed her bitterness, watching the man who was courting Shi Yaoguang so eagerly in front of her, and inwardly spat.

What a lousy man, always trying to catch Master Shi’s eye.

Is Master Shi yours alone?

No, Master Shi belongs to all of us!

Shi Yiqing inwardly finished ranting about Quan Jinbei from head to toe before turning to Shi Yaoguang, "Master Shi~"

Shi Yaoguang looked back, "What is it?"

An Xiaoya spoke earnestly, "I feel like this place seems very dangerous, and Mr. Quan is not in good health. Why don’t we let him rest with the film crew? The two of us can go and check things out."

Upon hearing these words, Shi Yaoguang did not immediately refuse.

Quan Jinbei noticed this and frowned.

He glared at An Xiaoya, giving her a look that said, "Don’t talk nonsense."

An Xiaoya was not intimidated in the slightest. She snorted lightly and met Quan Jinbei’s cold stare with confidence, "Mr. Quan, I’m really not trying to target you intentionally, and you wouldn’t want Master Shi to be distracted protecting you, right?"

Quan Jinbei glanced at her coldly, "Who says I need protection?"

An Xiaoya snorted, "Any clear-eyed person can see that you need Master Shi to protect you."

As she spoke, her words carried weight, "Mr. Quan, you are an adult now. You can’t be dragging the team down, you know? With you by Master Shi’s side, when she faces danger, she’ll have to be distracted looking after someone as frail as you."

"I am different. If it’s just Master Shi and me, I not only do not need her protection, but I might even be able to protect her if necessary."

Quan Jinbei scoffed, letting the word ’contempt’ show plainly on his face.

"Just you?"

An Xiaoya was being ridiculed.

She seriously doubted she had heard him correctly.

But upon closer inspection, Quan Jinbei’s arrogant expression was right there for all to see.

Clearly, it wasn’t a misunderstanding; this jerk Quan Jinbei was indeed looking down on her.

An Xiaoya was furious. As a descendant of the Heavenly Master, she had a temper too!

Not everyone was like Shi Yaoguang, whom she could tolerate unconditionally!

Quan Jinbei’s behavior right now was challenging her bottom line!

Was this something to endure?

Definitely not!

With that in mind, she indignantly said to Quan Jinbei, "Mr. Quan, don’t think you’re so impressive just because you can sneer at people. Let’s be more down-to-earth and stick to the facts!"

She muttered under her breath, "Why do you think Master Shi is here risking her neck? If it wasn’t for you, she wouldn’t need to come to this place at all. If you keep being a burden to her, do you think you could live with yourself?"

Quan Jinbei snorted, "Why would I feel guilty?"

An Xiaoya’s face registered disbelief, "What did you say?"

Quan Jinbei countered, "Why should I feel guilty?"

As he spoke, he wrapped his arm around Shi Yaoguang’s waist, and announced his claim over her dominantly, "The Master Shi you speak of is my woman."

He then pointed to himself, a proud tone in his voice, "And I, am her man!"

"You tell me, is there anything wrong with her being good to her own man?"

An Xiaoya: "..."

Whether it’s being good to your woman or to your man, there’s nothing wrong with that.

But the main point is...

How can you, a grown man, have the nerve to so brazenly ask your wife for protection?

First, your body is feeble, needing your wife to go through the trouble of finding medicine for you.

Then, not knowing the gravity of the situation, you insist on joining the adventure.

If it weren’t for anything serious, that might be fine, but what if a problem arises?

Can you bear the consequences?

An Xiaoya felt a deep sense of frustration, "I’m really not joking with you; you’d better not hold us back."

"I have this feeling that this place is really dangerous. You should stay with the crew instead."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Quan Jinbei’s expression abruptly changed.

Before she could process Quan Jinbei’s suddenly icy demeanor, she saw his free hand lift, and a flame ignited in the center of his palm.

The flame coalesced into a fireball slightly larger than his hand, and the next second, he hurled the fireball in her direction.

It all happened so fast.

Before An Xiaoya even had time to react, the fireball had risen from Quan Jinbei’s hand and hurtled towards her.

An Xiaoya was self-aware enough to know she couldn’t dodge it.

She instinctively closed her eyes, feeling somewhat desperate.

She never would have imagined Quan Jinbei could be so petty!

Was it just because she had spoken a few extra words that she now had to pay with her life...?

As these thoughts raced through her mind, the distance between the fireball and her shrank rapidly, getting close enough to hit her.
