Chapter 485: Chapter 485: Worried That the Green on My Head Is Not Green Enough, Need to Dye It

Shi Yiqing’s behavior was actually quite obvious.

It could be seen from the moment she first met Quan Jinbei.

Quan Jinbei was no fool; he could tell.

It’s just at that time, he couldn’t be bothered with these matters.

Now...

Things were decidedly different from before.

If he could get Shi Yiqing upset and bring a smile to Shi Yaoguang’s face with just a bit of sweet-talking, he was happy to oblige.

Only...

The things he did were still too small compared to what he wanted to do.

Shi Yaoguang didn’t feel the same way; in her view, Quan Jinbei’s actions were already more than enough.

After all...

Money and power, she could handle by herself.

A noble family?

She was one in her own right.

So, compared to those things, Quan Jinbei’s intentions were much more touching.

After careful consideration for a long time, Quan Jinbei finally made a truly useful decision.

When Shi Yaoguang heard him out, she was astounded. "What did you say? You want to be my agent?"

Quan Jinbei, "Is that not okay?"

"It’s okay, but..." Before Shi Yaoguang could finish, he made a final call, "Since you agree, then it’s settled. From now on, I am your agent."

As he spoke, he added another phrase, "A personal one."

"Pfft." Shi Yaoguang spat out a mouthful of tea. "Third Master, are you serious?"

Quan Jinbei kept a straight face, "Do I look like I’m joking?"

Shi Yaoguang shook her head.

This surely wasn’t a joke, but... wasn’t this too thrilling?

Quan Jinbei knew what she was thinking and immediately said, "If Shang Minghao can do it, so can I."

Shi Yaoguang uttered a sound and said, "You and he are not the same."

Quan Jinbei raised an eyebrow, "How are we different?"

Shi Yaoguang explained, "Shang Minghao becoming Shi Yiqing’s agent is because he wants her to become famous, but..."

She narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Being from Heavenly Dao, even if he wants to support Heavenly Dao’s chosen girl, he would never sacrifice himself; after all, Heavenly Dao has a reputation to uphold."

"But you are different. You’re my man."

Hearing her rising tone, the man’s gaze grew gentler.

And the way he looked at her was filled with tenderness.

As their eyes met, the air between them grew even more charged with ambience.

Just as they were about to come together, the buzzing of the phone vibrated through the air.

Quan Jinbei picked up his phone with annoyance and took a look.

It was...

A call from Quan Sicheng.

Quan Jinbei had forgotten to block Quan Sicheng before, otherwise, this call wouldn’t have ruined the moment.

Seeing the caller ID on Quan Jinbei’s phone, Shi Yaoguang curved her lips slightly, "Quan Sicheng’s call, Third Master, are you taking it?"

Quan Jinbei handed her the phone, meaning she could deal with it as she liked.

Shi Yaoguang didn’t hold back and answered the call.

She was rather curious about what Quan Sicheng was thinking.

After seeing the photos of Shi Yiqing and Shang Minghao together, she didn’t believe he could remain unaffected.

The call connected.

Quan Sicheng’s voice came through, "Dad... Mr. Quan, sorry to disturb."

Shi Yaoguang teased, "You actually know you’re disturbing?"

The person on the line seemed stunned by the female voice, then spoke uncomfortably, "I, I didn’t know you were..."

Before he could finish his words, it seemed like he managed to compose himself, and his tone suddenly took on an accusatory air, "Shi Yaoguang, what is the meaning of the photos you sent me?"

Shi Yaoguang was taken aback, "Don’t you know?"

"This is what I happened to capture. It’s definitely not a composite photo, and I believe you can tell that."

Quan Jinbei indeed could see that.

But...

He didn’t want to show his reaction.

Shi Yaoguang was just waiting to see his excitement, how could he possibly let her succeed?

Without the excitement she hoped for, Shi Yaoguang found it very boring and snorted, "Don’t be ungrateful. I gave these photos to you. If I sold them to the paparazzi, I could make a fortune."

As she spoke, her tone carried a hint of schadenfreude, "Speaking of which, how do you feel about the weight on your head? Can you handle it?"

She continued, not needing an answer and agreeing with herself, "I think you must be coping well, after all, it’s true love, isn’t it?"

"True love is about being together sweetly through all hardships and difficulties."

"Eh, come to think of it, that’s really enviable."

Listening to Shi Yaoguang repeat how envious she was, Quan Sicheng didn’t feel the slightest bit happy.

Envious?

Shi Yaoguang, envious?

It was more like a veiled mockery.

In fact, he was right.

Shi Yaoguang was indeed mocking him.

Of course, he was also wrong about one thing.

She wasn’t mocking him subtly.

Why mock in secret when she could do it openly?

Shi Yaoguang could have ridiculed him, but then she asked, "You’re calling at this time, don’t you realize it’s disturbing? You better have a good reason, otherwise, I won’t mind letting you experience what it means to be ’less than a man.’"

Hearing this, Quan Sicheng instinctively asked, "My dad... Mr. Quan, did he..." Get scared limper?

He wisely did not finish the sentence.

But that moment of hesitation was enough to get his point across.

Knowing what he was thinking, Quan Jinbei’s expression darkened.

Seeing his face, Shi Yaoguang revealed a bright smile, "Quan Sicheng, do you know what it means to dig your own grave?"

Quan Sicheng certainly did know, but now was not the time to worry about such things.

Dead end or not, he wasn’t in the mood to think about it.

All he wanted to know right now was where Shi Yiqing was.

Hearing his anxious tone, Shi Yaoguang became curious, "If you want to know where Shi Yiqing is, why don’t you contact her yourself? How desperate must you be to call my husband and ask about the whereabouts of your fiancée?"

"What, do you feel the green on your head isn’t vivid enough, that you want to add a bit more color yourself?"

Shi Yaoguang’s words were truly venomous.

But Quan Sicheng was at her mercy and, despite feeling humiliated, he dared not to say much more.

"I didn’t mean that, I..." He stammered for a while before finally explaining the situation.

It turned out that he and Shi Yiqing had had a big fight.

Since then, Shi Yiqing had separated from him.

At first, he didn’t think much of it.

After all, he was quite tired himself, having to deal with various engagements every day, and then coming home to face Shi Yiqing’s endless difficulties.

These days, he was also aware of the situation with Bada Entertainment.

He kept telling himself that Shi Yiqing had found favor with Bada Entertainment, and was even nicknamed the ’Bada Princess’ by netizens, only because of her good looks, which the entertainment company valued.

That one photo from Shi Yaoguang...

Ruthlessly demolished the Great Wall he’d built in his mind.

He had no other choice but to turn to Shi Yaoguang.

After he explained everything, Shi Yaoguang was speechless.

"How long have you and she been separated after that fight and all this time, didn’t you think about contacting her or finding her?"
