Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Whatever She Likes to Do is Her Freedom

Tian Jing learned of Shi Yaoguang’s true value from Professor Lin.

Of course, she was not one to gossip.

Naturally, she would not speak of it to others.

However, that did not prevent her from being shocked. "Shi Yaoguang is actually your wife?"

Quan Jinbei’s eyebrows lifted slightly, his tone somewhat casual, "Senior sister, is there a problem with her being my wife?"

Tian Jing was dazed for a good while before she finally said, "How did she come to fancy you?"

Her tone seemed to carry some disdain.

Quan Jinbei narrowed his eyes, "Senior sister, the way you’re speaking, it sounds as if you’re looking down on me."

"You don’t need to doubt it, I am indeed looking down on you," Tian Jing said bluntly.

If Tian Jing did not know how formidable Shi Yaoguang truly was, she might have thought that an ordinary girl, even one with slightly better grades, would not be a match for Quan Jinbei, even if Quan Jinbei were not well.

But...

That was Shi Yaoguang!

A high school student who could solve problems that even Professor Lin couldn’t!

She was still in high school, yet she was already so impressive. What heights she could reach after several years in university was simply unimaginable!

It was just a pity that she was not enthusiastic about academia but instead fancied the entertainment industry.

Thinking this, Tian Jing felt an immense sense of regret.

When she heard that Professor Lin was going to meet with Shi Yaoguang, she wanted to follow and personally persuade her with her eloquent reasoning to see the error of her ways.

What’s so good about the entertainment industry?

It’s nothing but a facade of prosperity.

With her academic level, what could she not achieve?

But before she had the chance to meet and persuade Shi Yaoguang in person, she ended up meeting Shi Yaoguang’s husband first.

The thought that Quan Jinbei would actually indulge her in wasting her talent, knowing fully well her comprehension in the biological sciences, yet not advising her to focus on it but instead letting her run off into the entertainment industry.

It was simply...

Unworthy of a husband!

Facing Tian Jing’s disdainful look, which held a hint of reproach, Quan Jinbei expressed...

He didn’t quite understand his senior sister’s point.

He looked at Tian Jing, thought for a moment, and asked, "Senior sister, are you... in a bad mood?"

He ventured cautiously.

He and Tian Jing shared a senior-junior relationship; their teacher was none other than the head of the university.

In earlier years, the head of the university was not the president of Imperial Capital University but a very capable academician.

Years ago, in order to better exploit Quan Jinbei’s potential, the senior Mr. Quan paid a hefty sum to hire the head of the university to be Quan Jinbei’s teacher.

It was somewhat similar to the model of a private tutor.

Tian Jing would occasionally visit Quan Mansion, and she had a good relationship with Quan Jinbei.

Also, because Quan Jinbei’s health had always been poor, Tian Jing, who was a generation older, felt a great deal of compassion for him.

It was the kind of... motherly care.

Quan Jinbei had never before experienced being looked down upon.

Tian Jing, facing his bewildered look, felt a sense of frustrated disappointment: "Do you even know how talented Shi Yaoguang truly is?"

Quan Jinbei nodded, "I know."

Tian Jing continued, "You know, yet you do nothing?"

Quan Jinbei tilted his head, confused: "Senior sister, what do you think I should do?"

"Such a talent must not be wasted; do you have any idea, with just a few simple suggestions, how much she helped Professor Lin?"

"As someone like her, if she dedicated herself to academic research, can you imagine how much energy she could bring to the entire world?"

After Tian Jing finished speaking, Quan Jinbei replied calmly: "I can understand how you feel, senior sister, but what you’re saying, I won’t consider."

Quan Jinbei’s refusal was emphatic, leaving Tian Jing somewhat taken aback, "You really won’t consider it at all?"

"What she likes to do is her freedom."

"Having abilities isn’t a reason to restrict her."

Tian Jing was somewhat angry.

She thought for a good while before she finally came up with a reason that might persuade him.

"Don’t you want to witness our country getting better and better? If she could join Professor Lin’s team, then..."

Quan Jinbei didn’t wait for her to finish and pulled out a small button from his shirt pocket.

Right in front of Tian Jing, he performed a feat of retrieving something from thin air.

"Senior sister, did you see?"

He took out a Laser Sword from the Space Button and directly cleaved the table in front of him.

Tian Jing: "..."

Stunned.jpg.

She was taken aback for a moment, it was actually the principal who reacted.

Looking at the split phoebe zhennan wood table, a pained expression slowly appeared on his face.

"My table..."

"Ah, my table..."

After wailing over the phoebe zhennan wood table for a moment, he then asked, "What’s that thing you’re holding?"

"I’ll compensate you."

A brand-new set of phoebe zhennan wood table suddenly appeared, judging by its quality, it seemed much better than the principal’s original table.

Seeing this, the principal no longer minded the loss but was instead fascinated with the button in his hand.

"What is this?" he rubbed his chin while pondering, "Let me think..."

He drew out his words, then asked, "Could this be space?"

Hearing him click his tongue lightly, "I’ve heard that space is formed through some sort of medium, but the concept of a different dimension is too far-fetched, it shouldn’t be possible to realize it..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Tian Jing spoke up hesitantly, "This seems to be a Space Button!"

Tian Jing didn’t pay much attention to news online, but she had heard a bit about the Space Button.

Seeing that she was aware, the principal asked, "What Space Button?"

"It’s the kind of space that can hold things, and a Space Button can also be carried around..." Tian Jing explained to the old principal, and then turned to Quan Jinbei, asking, "You didn’t suddenly show the Space Button just to show off, did you?"

Quan Jinbei shook his head, "Senior sister knows about the Space Button, but do you know who developed it?"

Tian Jing naturally shook her head.

She indeed didn’t know where this Space Button came from.

Truthfully, if she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t even believe that the Space Button really existed.

She had always considered the existence of the Space Button as a legend.

Uh-huh...

Just a hoax to fool people.

When she first heard about it, she even thought that the scams nowadays were getting more low-end.

The concept of space had been around for a long time, but until now, no one had been able to create a real space.

Even a tiny bit of space didn’t exist.

If a Space Button were to appear, it would have to be at least ten or twenty years in the future, this was her supremely confident thought.

How could it just appear out of nowhere?

At that time, she simply didn’t believe it.

But now...

What exactly is Quan Jinbei holding in his hand?

Quan Jinbei had no idea she was questioning her entire life; he simply said in a calm tone, "The Space Button was invented by Yaoguang."

Tian Jing was stunned, "What did you say?"

Quan Jinbei didn’t repeat what he had already said, and instead spoke, "Not just the Space Button, the Laser Sword that can cut through hair as if it were butter, both were invented by her."

"I’ve already started mass production of these, and the products are about to hit the market soon."

"Now, senior sister, do you still think your previous thoughts were correct?"
