Chapter 586: Chapter 586: The Discernment of the Heavenly Dao in Choosing People Is Still Lacking

Shi Yaoguang immediately clicked his tongue and shook his head, "It seems Heavenly Dao’s choice of people is still lacking."

Quan Jinbei silently agreed, "Exactly."

Ling Qingxue had no idea that her every move was being watched by the two of them.

She also felt she had acted foolishly just now but would never admit it.

What was it, just forgetting to press the doorbell?

It was only because she was too nervous.

Little did she know, an alarm was going off in her mind’s "System."

Having learned from Shi Yiqing’s experience, Heavenly Dao did not wish to find another female lead as foolish as Shi Yiqing.

Yet looking at Ling Qingxue’s recent actions, he truly couldn’t feel reassured.

However...

Even if he was worried, it was of no help now.

Unless he was willing to give up on Ling Qingxue and look for a new female lead, even if Ling Qingxue did not meet his expectations, he would have to endure it.

All he could do now was hope that Ling Qingxue had been just too nervous earlier, and not actually foolish.

...

When the doorbell rang, Quan Sicheng’s upper body was already bare-chested.

Shi Yiqing’s thin outer garment was nowhere to be found, and at this moment, the amount of fabric on her body was less than the size of a palm.

Both of them, one with an expression of impatience, the other with eyes full of seduction.

What would develop next needed no imagination to figure out.

At this critical juncture, the doorbell rang.

The man was jolted to a clearer state of mind by the sound of the doorbell.

The look in his eyes towards Shi Yiqing grew somewhat vacant.

Shi Yiqing cursed to herself, then soothed Quan Sicheng before deciding to answer the door.

She had a good idea of who was ringing the doorbell.

It was probably the reporter she had called.

However...

The current time was still a while away from when she had told the reporter to knock on the door.

She couldn’t help but curse, what was wrong with these people? They had clearly agreed on a time, so why had they come so early?

Now, she and Quan Sicheng hadn’t had the chance to do anything yet, and with their arrival now, what kind of story could they report?

Shi Yiqing casually grabbed a bath towel, wrapped her body in it, and planned to drive those people away as soon as she opened the door.

If they had to come, they should at least wait until after she and Quan Sicheng had done the deed.

Originally, this wasn’t supposed to be so troublesome.

All because of Shang Minghao.

Shi Yiqing added Shang Minghao to her list of people to curse in her heart.

If it wasn’t for Shang Minghao deliberately "tempting" her, she wouldn’t have erased everything between her and Quan Sicheng in order to please him.

She hadn’t even thought to keep a backup for blackmailing Quan Sicheng.

Of course, what she had told Quan Sicheng on the phone was also false.

If she really had evidence of her together with Quan Sicheng, she wouldn’t need to go through all this trouble and could just have someone expose it.

But talking about it now was of no use, Shi Yiqing thought as she already opened the door.

"Why did you come so early? Didn’t we say that you should..." As Shi Yiqing opened the door and began to complain, the words spilled out.

She stopped midway, realizing that the doorway wasn’t filled with reporters carrying cameras, but rather with a tall, curvaceous, stunning beauty.

This made her heart jump instantaneously and she immediately questioned with caution, "Who are you?"

To accomplish her mission, Ling Qingxue had already entered into character.

Facing Shi Yiqing’s questioning, she didn’t feel guilty at all. Instead, she snorted coldly, "You’re asking me who I am; I’d like to know who you are!"

Shi Yiqing found this amusing, "Miss, it’s you who’s knocking on my door right now."

"You’re at the door to my room, asking me who I am. Don’t you find that funny?"

Ling Qingxue, adopting the identity of Quan Sicheng’s girlfriend, spoke forcefully without appearing any weaker than her, "My boyfriend entered this room. Is it strange for me to ask you who you are?"

"Your boyfriend?"

Shi Yiqing’s voice suddenly rose, "What ’your boyfriend’?!"

Ling Qingxue shrugged, "I am Quan Sicheng’s girlfriend."

"That’s impossible!" Shi Yiqing rejected the notion without a second thought, "The only person he loves is me."

"You?" Ling Qingxue scrutinized Shi Yiqing with a critical gaze and then concluded, "Based on you?"

Shi Yiqing understood her implication and immediately turned pale, "What do you mean by that?"

"Was my meaning not clear enough?"

Ling Qingxue flipped her hair dismissively, looking at her with disdain, "Do you mean to tell me, my boyfriend would forsake an unmatched beauty like me and devote himself to you?"

Shi Yiqing’s complexion grew even paler, yet she persisted, "Nothing’s impossible! Brother Sicheng and I have been childhood friends..."

"Childhood friends..."

Ling Qingxue snickered, "If I’m not mistaken, you seem to prefer Heavenly Dao over childhood friends."

Shi Yiqing involuntarily took a step back, "What do you mean by that?"

"Do you know why Acheng is with me?"

Ling Qingxue asked smugly.

Shi Yiqing shook her head; she still couldn’t believe that Quan Sicheng would choose to be with this unexpected woman.

Ling Qingxue’s smile widened in triumph, "He’s with me because you gave up on him."

"A man more outstanding than him appeared by your side, so you deliberately distanced yourself from him. Isn’t it to be with that other man?"

She paused, her tone laced with sarcasm, "Speaking of which, I also know the man you’ve set your sights on."

"After all... your affair with CEO Shang has long been common knowledge."

Saying this, she even flashed a mocking smile, "You’ve been the imposing Heavenly Princess for quite a while, haven’t you? Tell me, why would any man go out of his way to be so good to a woman, acquiring so many entertainment companies for her?"

"There’s nothing improper between CEO Shang and me!" Shi Yiqing almost shouted out this statement.

Ling Qingxue raised an eyebrow, "Nothing improper between you two?"

Shi Yiqing nodded fervently, "Yes, nothing at all!"

Her attitude was very firm, showing not the slightest sign of guilt.

Ling Qingxue was sure that she was telling the truth.

However...

She was somewhat curious.

If what she said was true, what on earth was Shang Minghao aiming for when he did so much for her?

Or was it Shi Yiqing’s own thinking that was peculiar?

Thinking this, she probed, "You say there’s nothing improper between you, so I’m curious, is it the ’nothing improper’ where he takes care of your daily life, or the ’nothing improper’ where you explore each other’s lengths and depths together? Or perhaps, it’s just the simple ’nothing improper’ due to working closely, leading to cohabitation?"

The meaning behind Ling Qingxue’s words couldn’t be clearer, making Shi Yiqing’s face look extremely unpleasant.

"Can’t you stop measuring others by your own filthy thoughts? Just because you’re dirty doesn’t mean everyone else is like you."

...

Shi Yaoguang, through special means, watched the confrontation between Shi Yiqing and Ling Qingxue, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

How much did Shi Yiqing wish for each of Ling Qingxue’s words to hit the mark?

It’s a pity that Shang Minghao really didn’t covet anything from her.

If not for that, she wouldn’t be able to defend her innocence so vehemently.
