Chapter 582: Are You Threatening Me?

Chapter 582: Chapter 582: Are You Threatening Me?

Shi Yiqing bit her lip, she had called him and wanted to get in touch, but the person who answered the phone was only his assistant.

She even told the assistant the words she meant to remind him of, but she didn’t know if the assistant ever passed the message to him.

She would have been better off not bringing it up, because as soon as Quan Sicheng heard her mention this, his face instantly turned dark.

"So this is what you call being wronged?"

Hearing his voice turn cold so suddenly, Shi Yiqing was perplexed and felt even more aggrieved.

She suspected that Quan Sicheng didn’t love her anymore, which was why he acted this way.

Little did she know, Quan Sicheng was thinking the same thing.

Back when they lived together in Qingshui Bay, he had not failed to notice Shi Yiqing’s budding feelings for Shang Minghao, nor was he unaware of her deliberate attempts to avoid him.

He felt uncomfortable inside, but he didn’t want to put her in a difficult position, so he went along with her wishes.

He had thought his distancing might make Shi Yiqing realize his feelings and change her heart.

Instead, what he got was her apparent relief.

The subsequent reductions in their contact never elicited any public comments from him, but he was not without his own opinions on the matter.

Regrettably, at that time, Shi Yiqing’s heart was fully invested in Shang Minghao, and she had completely overlooked him.

The most ridiculous part was that Shi Yiqing didn’t come to find him immediately.

It was only after she made sure that she couldn’t get in touch with Shang Minghao, her most preferred option, did she turn to him.

This made him feel like he was nothing more than a spare tire.

It was with great difficulty that he had convinced himself to let go when Shi Yiqing finally got in touch with him.

Of course, it was his assistant she got in touch with.

His assistant told him the first chance he got, after he was free, that Shi Yiqing had tried to contact him.

And the assistant conveyed Shi Yiqing’s message.

When he first heard from his assistant that Shi Yiqing had tried to contact him, he still harbored a sliver of hope.

Until...

The assistant shared with him the message from Shi Yiqing.

He instantly felt as if a bucket of cold water had been thrown over him.

Shi Yiqing wasn’t looking for him because she missed him, but because of Shang Minghao.

She couldn’t find Shang Minghao, so she thought to ask him for help.

She even suggested that the reason Shang Minghao was ignoring her could be a misunderstanding of her relationship with him.

All Quan Sicheng needed to do was to clarify to Shang Minghao that there was nothing between them.

Then, Shang Minghao would certainly have no more dissatisfaction and would definitely be together with Shi Yiqing.

It was because of the message conveyed by the assistant that he finally gave up on Shi Yiqing completely.

Yet at this time, Shi Yiqing had the audacity to come to him again.

Claiming over and over that she had been wronged, that she had had enough of the punishment.

Wasn’t this a joke?

Shi Yiqing was clueless about how the initial phone call went with Quan Sicheng’s assistant.

So, when facing Quan Sicheng, she still had some confidence.

In her view, Quan Sicheng’s long-time disregard for her was obviously his fault.

So, she still felt she was on the high moral ground.

Unfortunately, nobody was buying her act.

Quan Sicheng believed he had done nothing to wrong her, so naturally, he felt no guilt toward her.

Now facing her nearly interrogative attitude, he was extremely cold.

Shi Yiqing felt the chill of his impatience sink into her heart.

With a tearful voice she asked, "Brother Sicheng, do you really not want me anymore?"

Quan Sicheng snorted, "How can you say I don’t want you? This is clearly your choice, isn’t it?"

"No..." Quan Sicheng’s lips curled into a mocking smile, "I don’t know where you got the confidence, thinking that after you betrayed me, I could still treat you the same as before."

"I’m not a masochist. Do you think I’d be hopelessly devoted to you forever? Is that even possible?"

Clearly, it wasn’t possible.

But still...

She couldn’t help but feel a little unwilling to accept it.

Shi Yiqing hurriedly defended herself: "I have never betrayed you!"

"Brother Sicheng, has Shi Yaoguang said something to you that made you misunderstand me?"

Hearing her words, Quan Sicheng’s eyes filled with even more scorn, "What does she have to do with this?"

It was clearly Shi Yiqing herself who looked down on him and wanted to climb a higher branch. Now she spoke words that clearly seemed to shift the blame.

Bringing Shi Yaoguang into it, was this not harboring ill intentions?

As time passed, he grew increasingly regretful.

Had he known Shi Yiqing’s true face, he never would have given up Shi Yaoguang for her.

Now, not only had he lost the watermelon in pursuit of a sesame seed, that sesame seed turned out to be a rotten one at that.

Such a sesame seed, he couldn’t stomach.

Who knows, he might be secretly harmed one day.

Naturally, Shi Yiqing was unaware of Quan Sicheng’s regret, but she still had a very big problem with him.

She immediately made her demands, "Brother Sicheng, let’s meet."

"Meet?"

Quan Sicheng flatly refused, "I don’t think there’s any need for us to meet."

Shi Yiqing frowned and thought to herself, as expected.

It was clear that Quan Sicheng wanted to shake her off.

But that was impossible.

She would never allow such a thing to happen.

"Brother Sicheng, don’t forget, we’re still engaged, I am still your fiancée."

Shi Yiqing emphasized this point, and threatened, "We took quite a few photos together when we were together."

"If you’re not worried about those photos being leaked and threatening your status as a popular star, then I don’t mind."

Quan Sicheng’s eyes turned three degrees colder, "Are you threatening me?"

Shi Yiqing chuckled awkwardly, "I don’t want to threaten you, but... what I do ultimately depends on you, doesn’t it?"

"I hope, Brother Sicheng, your choice won’t disappoint me."

After speaking, she hung up the phone.

She wasn’t worried that Quan Sicheng wouldn’t agree to meet.

As long as he agreed to meet, she was confident she could win his heart back.

There was no particular reason; she just had that assurance.

Just as she thought.

Quan Sicheng quickly sent her an address.

Looking at the address, she couldn’t help but smile.

Once they met, she could win Brother Sicheng’s heart back.

And once she was back together with Brother Sicheng, she would certainly return today’s humiliation to Shi Yaoguang.

Shi Yaoguang sneezed as she was mentioned.

She rubbed her nose and clicked her tongue lightly, "Who’s talking about me behind my back?"

"Now, there are probably many people mentioning you."

Because of a painting by Shi Yaoguang, autistic patients had seen their symptoms relieved, and while this benefited autistic patients, it also harmed the interests of some people.

These people were naturally dissatisfied with the appearance of Shi Yaoguang’s painting.

But more than that, it was gratitude towards Shi Yaoguang.

If Shi Yaoguang’s paintings could have such a miraculous effect, then those whose symptoms of autism were alleviated after seeing her paintings naturally felt grateful to her. Wasn’t Shi Yaoguang mentioned by people because of this?
