After the True Heiress Travels Back -
Chapter 668 Obsessive Cleanliness
Chapter 668: Chapter 668 Obsessive Cleanliness
The harsh reality was that Shi Yaoguang had altered the fate of Quan Jinbei, who was destined not to survive past thirty, and had punctured the old master’s scheming.
After Heavenly Dao twisted the situation, things were significantly different.
The Quan patriarch found a way to save his third son, Quan Jinbei.
But for the sake of his illegitimate son, Quan Sicheng, he put forth a condition.
Quan Jinbei had to marry Shi Yaoguang.
Only in this way could he prove that he actually stood by Quan Jinbei’s side and also hoped that Quan Jinbei would give Quan Sicheng a chance for the sake of his face.
Don’t ask how the old master’s train of thought worked; it was just arranged by Heavenly Dao.
Heavenly Dao deliberately twisted their relationships to trap Shi Yaoguang, Quan Jinbei, and the useless Quan Sicheng in their own cocoons.
He even thought that if he woke from his slumber and Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei killed him in their games, it would be even better!
...
"Dad, I have no feelings for that woman. Even if I marry her according to your demand, we won’t be able to get along well. Why must you insist so hard?"
When the Quan patriarch heard this, he couldn’t help but sigh, "Jinbei, it’s not that dad insists you must do something. Dad just hopes that you can understand the painstaking care behind his actions."
"Your painstaking care, I really don’t understand," Quan Jinbei retorted sharply to the old master. "The butler told me Shi Yaoguang and Quan Sicheng like each other. Since they’re a couple, why must you be the villain and deliberately split them up?"
The Quan patriarch spoke righteously, "I just think Yaoguang is a good kid. She’s more suited to you than to Xiaocheng (Sicheng)."
"Tch." Quan Jinbei didn’t buy a word the Quan patriarch said. If the patriarch really had his best interests at heart, he wouldn’t have put forth so many demands when finding someone to alter his fate.
After all, a father seeking a cure for his son’s illness is perfectly justifiable.
Yet, the old master proposed excessive conditions despite having the means to alter his fate.
Clearly, he was not sincere towards him.
Quan Jinbei knew this in his heart.
Compared with Quan Sicheng, he held little place in the old master’s heart.
He had long been aware of this and had come to terms with it.
However, coming to terms with it was one thing, allowing the old master to take advantage of the situation was another.
His relationship with the old master wasn’t so good that he could let him spout nonsense.
The Quan patriarch responded somewhat resentfully, "Jinbei, even if dad’s decisions are sometimes muddled, you should still appreciate the painstaking care behind them."
"After all, you are my own flesh and blood. Now that the Quan Family is in your hands, what else can I do but wholeheartedly wish you well?"
Quan Jinbei didn’t believe the patriarch and didn’t want to hear more.
He decided to leave, "Since it seems our thoughts will never align, you might as well stick to your perspective, and I’ll keep my distance."
The Quan patriarch opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but upon realizing his words would be futile, he simply gave up.
The butler belonged to Quan Jinbei and naturally stayed by his side.
Quan Jinbei asked the butler about his current residence and then moved in with him.
Imperial Capital, Imperial View Villa.
When Quan Jinbei and the butler arrived, Shi Yaoguang was sleeping in bed.
Without the memories of fast-traveling, Shi Yaoguang naturally didn’t know how to cultivate.
Without cultivation, she was a person who needed sleep.
Therefore.
Quan Jinbei came straight to the master bedroom without glancing sideways, pushed the door open, and saw the girl wearing a thin nightgown, deep in slumber on the bed.
Seeing Quan Jinbei standing at the doorway, the butler approached with some confusion.
As Quan Jinbei heard footsteps, he subconsciously stepped aside, blocking the butler’s view.
"Third Master, do you have any orders?"
The butler moved forward respectfully to ask if Quan Jinbei needed assistance.
Quan Jinbei glanced at the person on the bed and then waved his hand, "It’s nothing."
The butler withdrew upon hearing the response.
But inside, he was puzzled, wondering what the Third Master was doing standing there.
Soon enough, he found out.
Because he noticed that there was evidence of another person living in the house.
Instantly, the butler’s eyes went wide.
No, could it be?
The lady of the house was actually at home!
With that thought, he subconsciously turned to go and inform the Third Master.
However, he quickly realized...
If there was another person in the house, the Third Master would have been more aware of it than him.
Since the Third Master hadn’t said anything, he naturally wouldn’t say anything either.
...
Inside the master bedroom.
Quan Jinbei was standing stiffly in place.
Shi Yaoguang turned over in her sleep, moving the thin blanket on her body, such that a considerable area of spring scenery around her chest was exposed.
Quan Jinbei inexplicably felt a bit hot and restless.
But he quickly repressed his emotions.
The girl on the bed was his illegitimate younger brother’s girlfriend.
Even though she had now become his Mrs. Quan, in his eyes, she was still a stranger.
Accustomed to abstinence, looking at his brother’s woman...
Ahem.
Quan Jinbei coughed lightly, concealing his lapse.
Then, he touched his nose.
Now that no one could see his expression, it would have been embarrassing if someone had.
Quan Jinbei awkwardly left the master bedroom and entered the adjoining secondary bedroom to rest.
After taking a shower, he lay down, and the image of the girl’s fair face and her tantalizing figure uncontrollably surfaced in his mind.
The more he thought about it, the hotter he felt.
Eventually...
Something wasn’t right with him.
Quan Jinbei’s eyes widened in horror.
Throughout his life, besides normal physiological reactions, he had never experienced this kind of response to any woman!
Thinking about it, a dark shadow crossed his eyes.
What was happening to him?
He knew that the girl was his brother’s girlfriend, but he still felt desire for her...
As he thought about it, he couldn’t help but reveal a bitter smile.
Anyone else was fine, but not this girl.
It wasn’t for the sake of his illegitimate brother Quan Sicheng, but...
He was unwilling to touch other women, nor did he want to.
Quan Jinbei had a complex about purity.
And it was particularly serious.
This could be seen from the very first time Shi Yaoguang met him.
But after they got to know each other, Quan Jinbei no longer felt this purity complex towards Shi Yaoguang.
Or rather, Quan Jinbei still had the complex, but he had eased his standards for Shi Yaoguang.
When he was with Shi Yaoguang, no matter how dirty she got, he wouldn’t mind.
What’s more, Shi Yaoguang’s body had been cleansed of all impurities after cultivating.
To say her skin was as creamy as congealed lard wasn’t an overstatement.
In such a case, his purity complex naturally had no room to manifest.
Now, however...
