Chapter 481: Chapter 481: You Are the One I Originally Wanted to Marry

"Private property?" Shi Yaoguang’s mouth twitched slightly, "If I remember correctly, wasn’t the Imperial Capital Building already there at the founding of the nation?"

Since it had been there since the founding of the nation and still stood unyielding after so many years, one could say it was quite significant as a memorial.

Now, the twenty-six-year-old Quan Jinbei claimed it was his private property, which made it sound utterly fantastical no matter how one thought about it.

However, Quan Jinbei clearly was not joking.

"This is indeed mine," he said, adding, "I bought it."

Shi Yaoguang breathed a sigh of relief, glad it wasn’t something he had created himself.

Otherwise...

Just how old would he be?

As if he knew what she was thinking, Quan Jinbei chuckled lightly, "Do I look like an old demon to you?"

Shi Yaoguang shook her head, nearly without hesitation she responded, "Of course not!"

If he looked like an old demon, then handsome people probably wouldn’t exist in this world, right?

Thinking this way, her gaze towards Quan Jinbei grew even more satisfied.

But her smile faded quickly.

Quan Jinbei was naturally the first to notice the change in her expression.

He immediately asked, "What’s wrong?"

As he spoke, he followed Shi Yaoguang’s line of sight and turned to look over.

He caught sight of a figure through the transparent glass of the building.

It was Shi Yiqing.

Shi Yiqing seemed to be trying on clothes, and not far from her stood a man with silver hair.

The man, with his handsome features and exceptional presence, was obviously not just anybody.

He hadn’t seen this person before, but he quickly guessed his identity.

Apart from Shang Minghao, there was no one else he could think of who would follow Shi Yaoguang so closely.

The butler had also identified distinctive features during the investigation.

Good-looking, with a head of silver hair.

Both traits matched.

Shi Yiqing had picked out her clothes and was clearly very happy.

Cradling her new garments, she flung herself at the man like a swallow returning to the nest.

"Click—"

The flash of Shi Yaoguang’s phone camera flickered.

On the phone screen, there was now a photo of Shi Yiqing throwing herself into the arms of a handsome guy.

Shi Yaoguang looked at it and felt quite satisfied.

She then unblocked Quan Sicheng from her blacklist, sent him the photo, and re-blocked him.

Not to mention how furious Quan Sicheng felt after seeing the photo.

After considering what to delete or edit for a long time, he finally came up with a reply only to see a red exclamation mark indicate its failure to send.

After sending the photo, Shi Yaoguang tucked her phone back into her pocket.

"Sister?"

Just then, Shi Yiqing’s surprised call of "sister" came over.

Shi Yaoguang turned her head to look at Shi Yiqing with a feigned smile plastered on, "You really are quite fortunate, aren’t you? If I’m not mistaken, you’re still Quan Sicheng’s fiancée, right? Does he know that you’re out here fitting him with a green hat?"

Shi Yiqing bit her lip and blinked innocently, "Sister, what are you talking about? I don’t understand what you mean?"

As she spoke, it was as if she thought of something sad, and her tone became plaintive, "Now I remember, sister, you don’t really want to acknowledge me as your sister, which is understandable."

She sniffled, "Even if you don’t want to recognize me as your sister, I can understand since I really dislike you as well."

After saying this, she turned and looked longingly at Shang Minghao, who stood not far away, "President Shang, come over quick!"

Shang Minghao’s icy gaze fell on Shi Yaoguang, lingering for a second before he slowly stepped forward.

Shi Yiqing said to Shi Yaoguang with a radiant smile, "I heard you’ve been living like a recluse lately, so you probably don’t know, but I’m now the star that Bada Entertainment is pushing aggressively."

"Now I get so many scripts and offers that my hands are sore. How about that, are you green with envy?"

After she finished, Shi Yaoguang did not give the answer she expected.

She replied nonchalantly, "Yes, yes, I’m so envious and jealous of you."

Shi Yiqing’s face contorted for a moment.

However, she quickly readjusted her expression.

"Sister, it doesn’t matter if you deny being jealous of me, the fact remains."

As she spoke, she sighed, "I just don’t know if you can accept..."

She drew out her words, "everything you have being taken away by me?"

Shi Yaoguang appeared unconcerned, "Anything that can be taken away by you only proves it wasn’t important."

Shi Yiqing felt an unstoppable anger at the bottom of her heart seeing her sister so indifferent.

However, she quickly got herself together.

What was there for Shi Yaoguang to be so calm about?

Her calm demeanor must be feigned!

Yes, it must all be an act.

Thinking about everything she now possessed and then looking at Shi Yaoguang...

What did she have besides relying on a man?

Wasn’t it just marrying a sickly husband?

There was nothing to be proud of!

Wait a second.

Shi Yiqing thought of something and her gaze stiffly shifted.

Before, her eyes had only been on Shi Yaoguang, naturally, she had no interest in anything else.

Until now.

She noticed standing beside Shi Yaoguang, such a completely real person.

And this person was none other than Quan Jinbei, a man whose looks were not inferior to Shang Minghao’s and even possessed a unique charm!

Quan Jinbei...

How on earth is it Quan Jinbei here?

Wasn’t he a sickly person?

Wasn’t he close to death?

Who can tell her how a person who needed a wheelchair to go outside is standing here looking absolutely fine?

Even...

With a healthy rosy complexion!

His condition looked, in no way, like that of a sickly person.

He appeared far better than ordinary people!

Thinking this, Shi Yiqing’s face twisted with ferocity.

Originally, Shi Yaoguang had married a sickly husband and was possibly facing widowhood at any moment.

Even if deep down she couldn’t let go of Quan Jinbei’s conditions, she felt more schadenfreude than anything.

And now, this sickly Quan Jinbei had stood up.

He was cured!

With that thought, her gaze at the couple was as if she wanted to flay them alive.

Quan Jinbei’s lips curved into a thin smile, "Surprised by what you’re seeing?"

Shi Yiqing was naturally shocked.

What shocked her even more came afterward.

All he said was, "I’ve been feigning illness."

Shi Yiqing’s eyes widened, "How could that be possible?"

The Quan Family had more than one health checkup a year, if Quan Jinbei had been feigning illness, how could the old master possibly not have noticed!

If the old master had noticed, he wouldn’t have made these plans.

Now, however, she heard Quan Jinbei saying all his previous ailments were feigned, how could she not be shocked?

Speaking of this, Quan Jinbei shrugged, "I never said I was about to die, that’s all something you concocted in your own minds."

"Since all of you were so eagerly anticipating my death, I couldn’t possibly let you down."

Quan Jinbei looked at her as if feeling a bit of regret.

He let out a deep sigh and said, "Originally, I had intended for the Quan Family and the Shi Family to become more closely united by marriage."

"Yaoguang, as the true daughter of the Shi Family, should naturally fulfill the commitment to marry Quan Sicheng, while you..."

Quan Jinbei glanced at her, his gaze retreating as if he was disappointed, "were actually the one I had wanted to marry."
