Chapter 464: Chapter 464: Two Choices Lay Before You

Quan Sicheng listened to Shi Yiqing’s words, yet unexpectedly, there wasn’t much of a ripple in his heart.

He suddenly thought of what Shi Yiqing had said.

If she didn’t truly love him, she would have left long ago.

But...

The one who truly loves him would never think of this question.

For Shi Yiqing to say this at such a moment, she must have thought about this question before, or in other words, she had weighed her options before.

It’s precisely because she had already made an assessment that she felt saying it now would give her more confidence.

And what this implied didn’t even need to be said out loud.

The more he thought about it, the colder and stiffer his expression became.

When he looked at Shi Yiqing, it was no longer with the tenderness of the past.

Seeing this, Shi Yiqing finally sensed that something was amiss.

If it had been the usual situation, Quan Sicheng wouldn’t have this attitude towards her.

Not to mention questioning her, even coldness wouldn’t be there.

But today, when she had suffered so much grievance, not only did Quan Sicheng not comfort her, but he questioned her aggressively instead.

Clearly, he was holding a grudge against her.

But...

On what grounds?

Shi Yiqing sneered in her heart and her gaze towards him also grew displeased, "Quan Sicheng, what do you mean by this?"

Quan Sicheng looked puzzled, "What do I mean by what?"

Shi Yiqing huffed, "I came to you after being insulted so badly, but not only do you not comfort me, you also question me like this. What am I in your eyes?"

"Do you still have me, your fiancée, in your heart?"

On hearing this, Quan Sicheng spoke reflexively, "I’m no longer one of the Quan Family’s young masters now, and you are not my fiancée either."

Shi Yiqing was stunned for a moment, then, looking at him, her gaze was filled with shock, "What, what did you say?"

After Quan Sicheng blurted those words out, he too was stunned for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.

Silently, he repeated the words he had just said.

"Technically speaking, we’re no longer engaged."

In that moment, the look Shi Yiqing gave him was one he had never seen before, fierce and fierce.

"What did you say?"

Quan Sicheng pursed his lips and remained silent.

He knew that Shi Yiqing had heard his words; there was no need to repeat them over and over.

Shi Yiqing indeed had heard him, and it was precisely because she had that she found it even harder to accept.

Looking at Quan Sicheng, her face was full of disappointment.

"Do you really have to be this way?"

Quan Sicheng shrugged, "It’s not that I want it this way, the person who caused all this is you."

Shi Yiqing’s expression turned fierce, "What did you say?"

"I said, the person who caused all this is you."

Quan Sicheng calmly repeated his words, "If it wasn’t for you, none of this would have happened today. I would still be one of the Quan Family young masters, and you... might never have had the chance to get close to me."

As he spoke, he tugged at the corner of his mouth, "In the past, I was too foolish to see the reality."

"It’s a pity it’s too late now."

As he said this, his gaze faintly locked onto her for two seconds, then he said, "If you find this unacceptable, we can break up."

Shi Yiqing was truly shocked.

She never expected Quan Sicheng to say such a thing.

"Are you serious?" It took her a while to squeeze out these words.

Quan Sicheng nodded his head.

His expression was somber, but his attitude was very firm.

Shi Yiqing opened her mouth, and it took quite a while for her to finally voice out, "Why are you doing this? Could it be..."

As she said this, her gaze hardened, "Do you regret it?"

Quan Sicheng did not speak, but his expression already conveyed his thoughts.

Yes, he regretted it.

Shi Yiqing lunged forward, grabbing his collar, "Is it because of Shi Yaoguang?"

"Have you fallen in love with her? You fell for her, so you feel my existence is blocking your way, right?"

As she said this, she burst into laughter, her smile filled with ridicule: "Do you think that without me, you two could be together? Let me tell you, that’s impossible."

"You’ve been with me before, you’re tainted, and it’s never going to be possible with her!"

Quan Sicheng explained, "I haven’t fallen in love with her." He just felt it was a pity.

If everything had gone according to plan, maybe... he wouldn’t have ended up like this today.

Quan Sicheng thought about a lot, his feelings were very firm.

Shi Yiqing, however, let out a cold snort, "What’s the use of saying more? You don’t stand a chance."

"Now, you have two choices before you."

She spoke very seriously, "Either, you stay with me obediently."

"Or, I’ll make you lose everything!"

Quan Sicheng looked at her as if he were seeing her for the first time, his gaze filled with estrangement.

But Shi Yiqing’s attitude had not changed one bit.

She was just like that, candid and straightforward.

Her look at Quan Sicheng was filled with condescending disdain.

"I gave you face before because you were somewhat useful."

"Now, your status is not even as high as mine."

"Be smart, listen to me, or... I’ll make you understand what regret means!"

Quan Sicheng hadn’t expected that the real Shi Yiqing would have this attitude.

For a moment, he even felt... like everything had turned upside down.

He didn’t know what was real and what was fake.

It was as if...

All of it was just a dream.

He was still in the dream, not yet awakened.

Otherwise...

How could he have seen such a drastic change in Shi Yiqing’s personality?

No.

Perhaps deep down, he had always known what Shi Yiqing was like.

He knew the real her, but...

He still made all sorts of excuses for her, and in doing so, Shi Yiqing became perfect in his mind.

But he was also clear about the actual situation.

...

The strife between Quan Sicheng and Shi Yiqing was unbeknownst to Shi Yaoguang.

Even if she had known, she wouldn’t have been pleased.

After all...

Scumbags and cheap gals should be paired up, it’s best that way.

If they were apart, wouldn’t that just unfairly harm other innocent people in the world?

For the best, they should be together forever.

Tormenting each other for a lifetime!

...

In Quan Mansion, third floor.

Quan Jinbei held the Heart of the Glacier, striving to absorb it.

The Heart of the Glacier contained a thread of Rule Power, and it was this Rule Power that could suppress the constraints of the Heavenly Dao narrative.

By absorbing it, Quan Jinbei’s body wouldn’t weaken according to the storyline’s demands.

It was also after absorbing the Rule Power that he truly understood how precious the energy contained within the Heart of the Glacier was.

The thought of Shi Yaoguang giving it to him without a second word made him gradually moved.

There it was.

As soon as he finished absorbing the Rule Power, he immediately wanted to see Shi Yaoguang.

Who knew that when he came out from the third floor, he didn’t see Shi Yaoguang.

Not just her, the entire Quan Mansion was empty, not a single person in sight.
