After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 669: Did You Stay with Quan Jinbei Last Night?

Chapter 669: Chapter 669: Did You Stay with Quan Jinbei Last Night?

Why did he have those feelings for another man’s woman?

No, no, no.

Maybe it was just because he had abstained for too long.

There’s a saying, when you’ve been single too long, even a dog appears beautiful.

Perhaps that was the reason.

If he looked more at others, maybe he would get better.

Jinbei convinced himself with this kind of brainwashing, until he had completely brainwashed himself.

Having finished brainwashing himself, he sent a task to the butler the next day.

When the butler heard Jinbei’s request, he was totally stunned.

Who didn’t know that the third master of the Quan family was always a man of integrity?

Forget women, he didn’t even care to be close to other men.

In other words, he was still an untouched flower on a high peak.

Apart from being forced by the old master of the Quan family to marry Shi Yaoguang, this man was practically without flaws.

Many people even thought he would end up lonely for the rest of his life.

Pshaw.

The life of a rich person should be called ’solitary splendor.’

Accidents and tomorrow, no one knows which will come first.

After making up his mind, the butler figured it out.

Previously, the third master didn’t fancy the vulgar throngs outside and didn’t want to experience the glamorous world.

Perhaps it wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but simply because he never had the chance.

Now that he was healthy and, under pressure from the old master, he had married someone he didn’t love.

It was normal for him to resist.

It would have been strange if he hadn’t resisted.

The butler convinced himself and went to make the arrangements.

...

Shi Yaoguang had just woken up, wearing her pajamas as she came downstairs, and happened to hear the conversation. She asked, "Butler, what did the third master ask you to arrange?"

Seeing her, the butler instinctively felt a moment of guilt.

But it quickly faded.

What the third master did was his own freedom.

Even if the madam wasn’t satisfied, she had no right to interject, and he said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "The third master has his own affairs to attend to, madam, you’d better not ask too much about it."

Hearing this, Shi Yaoguang narrowed her eyes slightly, "What do you mean, I shouldn’t interfere too much? I’m the lady of the Quan family now."

Her tone didn’t rise much, she simply stated the fact in an even voice.

"You are indeed the lady of the Quan family, madam, and the third master has not stripped you of your dignity,"

the butler said, his tone carrying a hint of resentment, "But before you married the third master, you were the girlfriend of the fourth young master. Don’t you think your actions are a bit too frivolous?"

This referred to Shi Yaoguang abandoning Quan Sicheng and marrying Jinbei instead.

The butler, having followed Jinbei from a young age, naturally knew about Jinbei’s obsession with cleanliness.

And it was a very serious obsession.

He would discard most things after using them just once, and if something dirty touched them, he would never touch it again.

In the eyes of the butler...

in everyone’s eyes, Shi Yaoguang had been with Quan Sicheng.

Young and full of vigor, they must have been unrestrained.

To put it bluntly, Shi Yaoguang had been tainted by Quan Sicheng.

As a "defiled" object, the butler knew that Jinbei would never "partake" of it.

Even if Jinbei brought Shi Yaoguang into the Quan family as his wife, he only treated her like a decoration.

Perhaps, the old master was aware of this, which was why he deliberately arranged this whole scenario.

Thinking this, the butler resented both Shi Yaoguang and the old master of the Quan family together.

In order not to let the Third Master have a child by marriage, the old man and the lady were just as detestable!

Fortunately, Shi Yaoguang didn’t know what the butler was thinking, otherwise...

It’s hard to say whether she would have overthrown the Quan Family or not.

After her memories were jumbled, Shi Yaoguang only remembered that she had broken with the Shi Family and entered the entertainment industry.

Although she had become very popular, she still needed to work.

The schedule was all set; the company’s people were ready, just waiting for her, the protagonist, to appear.

"Madam, what the Third Master can give you, he has already given."

The butler couldn’t help but overstep his bounds and reminded Shi Yaoguang, hoping she would know what was good for her and not tarnish the Third Master’s reputation outside.

Shi Yaoguang was the kind of person who would return the favor tenfold if she were respected.

Conversely, she couldn’t stand others running wild over her head.

If the butler had spoken to her properly, she naturally wouldn’t have any objections.

But with the butler’s current approach, she couldn’t tolerate it.

She immediately expressed her dissatisfaction.

"Butler, by saying this, do you regard me as the Third Lady, or are you warning me, a woman who climbed high, that I don’t deserve to consider myself as Mrs. Quan?"

The butler choked, thought for a moment, and then said, "I absolutely do not mean any disrespect to the madam. I just hope that the madam will consider the Third Master in all she does. The Third Master doesn’t have it easy either..."

Shi Yaoguang couldn’t be bothered to listen to him anymore; he had ruined her mood for the day: "I understand."

After speaking, she changed her clothes and left the house.

It wasn’t until she had left that Quan Jinbei came out of the study.

"Butler."

He directly called the butler and asked what had just happened.

The soundproofing in the villa was very good. In theory, when the door to the study was closed, you shouldn’t be able to hear any noise from outside.

Unless, the door to the study wasn’t closed.

Without having closed the door, Quan Jinbei would also have to stand at the doorway listening.

And...

His hearing must be good.

This was something the butler had overlooked, but he simply relayed the events exactly as they had happened.

After he finished, he was somewhat indignant: "Madam is now married to you. By all rights, she should behave and stay at home to attend to her husband and teach her children—"

He stopped talking there.

Quan Jinbei, seeing him cover his mouth, as if he had said something wrong, couldn’t help asking, "Why did you stop talking?"

The expression on the butler’s face suddenly became strange.

Quan Jinbei frowned displeasedly and urged, "Speak if you have something to say."

The butler had no choice but to express his thoughts: "The old man really went too far this time. He knew you have mysophobia, yet he arranged for you to marry Madam. It’s clear that he doesn’t want you to have a son with her..."

When Quan Jinbei heard this, his gaze grew deeper.

Mysophobia was his own issue.

But if someone used this to scheme against him, that was unforgivable.

The butler, seeing his expression, silently shut his mouth and didn’t dare say more.

Quan Jinbei had no intention of speaking further with him and waved his hand to send him away.

He needed to consider what kind of attitude to adopt towards Shi Yaoguang.

...

Shi Yaoguang, finding the butler’s attitude inexplicably odd, had just driven the car out of the villa, when she received a call from Quan Sicheng.

The feeling of resentment in Quan Sicheng’s tone could be heard even over the phone.

"Did you stay with Quan Jinbei last night?"

Hearing this almost accusatory tone, Shi Yaoguang frowned.

She felt Quan Sicheng was being completely unreasonable, "Who I stay with, what does it have to do with you?"

"Besides, Quan Jinbei is my husband. I stayed with my own lawful husband. How is that any of your business?"
