Chapter 676: Chapter 676: Must Get Divorced!

Shi Yaoguang listened to the host’s question and politely yet incisively responded to the reporter’s inquiry.

"Quan Jinbei is my husband, and I am his wife."

Upon hearing such an official response, the host’s expression turned somewhat helpless. "Empress Shi, you must know that’s not what I’m trying to learn."

"Oh?"

Shi Yaoguang looked curious, "That’s not what you want to know... So what do you want to know?"

The host hesitantly revealed his purpose, "I’m not the only one curious, even your fans are intrigued by the status of your and Mr. Quan’s relationship. Can’t you tell everyone whether you and Mr. Quan have had a falling out?"

Upon hearing these words, Shi Yaoguang chuckled scornfully, "A falling out with him?"

As she spoke, she couldn’t help but retort, "Why should I have a falling out with him?"

"This..." The host felt that Shi Yaoguang was simply playing mind games with her.

Why have a falling out?

Of course, because Quan Jinbei was unfaithful!

Thinking this, the host directly asked, "The matter of Mr. Quan holding a concubine selection banquet was caught by you on the spot. Aren’t you going to do anything about it, continue to swallow your pride?"

As soon as these words came out, the excited audience began to shout.

"Divorce!"

"Divorce!"

"Shi Yaoguang! Hurry up and get a divorce!"

"Women of the new era, don’t be so submissive!"

"Right, don’t be so submissive!"

Shi Yaoguang, listening to the audience’s excited cries, had a subtle expression.

It seemed...

She wasn’t being submissive at all, was she?

The host glanced at the audience below, then explained, "I think what everyone means is..."

"What do they mean?" Shi Yaoguang bluntly interrupted.

The host awkwardly clarified, "Everyone just loves Empress Shi too much and doesn’t want you to suffer in your marriage."

Listening to the host’s words, Shi Yaoguang couldn’t help but laugh.

"How do you know whether I am suffering?"

Speaking of this, the host was at a loss for words.

She didn’t know how to explain.

After thinking, she could only say weakly, "Given Empress Shi’s status, you are completely capable of being financially independent; there’s no need to stay subjugated to Mr. Quan for the title of Mrs. Quan..."

The host could only carefully express the thoughts of the audience to Shi Yaoguang.

Whether she herself thought the same way wasn’t really important.

Shi Yaoguang, however, narrowed her eyes thoughtfully, "Are you saying that if I don’t divorce Quan Jinbei, it’s my fault?"

The host met her stern gaze and replied sullenly, "Not necessarily; we are just offering Empress Shi a piece of advice. Whether to follow it or not is up to you."

After the host finished, someone in the audience was unwilling to accept her statement.

The audience below shouted out what was on their minds: "Divorce, it’s a must to divorce!"

"If you don’t divorce, we’ll unstan you!"

"That’s right, unstan!"

Hearing the rising clamor from below, the host wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, regretting her decision internally.

What was she thinking to take on such a task?

If she had known, she would have let Shi Yaoguang leave right after the interview; now, she was in a difficult position!

The host didn’t believe that Shi Yaoguang would kindly act according to the audience’s wishes.

Even a third-tier artist wouldn’t sacrifice so much just for their fans.

Let alone Shi Yaoguang, who had everything she wanted.

Shi Yaoguang was not without support in the entertainment circle.

Her backers were not her fans.

Given the resources Shi Yaoguang could secure, she could walk sideways through the entertainment industry without a problem.

How could such a person, follow her fans’ demand to divorce the man she loved?

Just as the host was sweating profusely, unsure of what to do, Shi Yaoguang spoke up.

"I’m sorry, I appreciate everyone’s kindness, but... I have no plans to divorce."

Upon hearing this, the fans below the stage were not having it.

Some even began to vent openly.

"Shi Yaoguang, how can you be so spineless? Knowing your man cheated, and you still stay with him!"

"I always thought you were a strong woman, but it turns out the real you is so submissive and obsequious. I’m truly disappointed."

"If you’re so keen on staying by that man’s side, then we have nothing more to say. ’Those who stand for different values do not make common cause.’ Let’s part ways here!"

Listening to the fans’ impassioned shouts, Shi Yaoguang’s expression remained unchanged.

The host, seeing this scene, couldn’t help but ask another question, "Ms. Shi, aren’t you worried that the fans will all stop following you?"

"Those who truly love me won’t stop following me over such a trivial matter."

Shi Yaoguang answered with a resolute tone, "For those who don’t love me, does what they think matter?"

Her implication was clear: Those who forced her to do things she disliked were not truly fans that cherished her.

If the fans weren’t sincere, why should she trouble herself for them?

The host thought about it and realized there was truth to that.

However, in the entertainment industry, too many fans see themselves as life coaches to their idols.

Whenever the idols’ careers don’t go as they wish, they start clamoring about unfollowing, which is quite exhausting.

It was Shi Yaoguang’s firm backing that allowed her to disregard her fans’ demands.

Thinking this, the host couldn’t help but feel envious of Shi Yaoguang.

Shi Yaoguang didn’t care about what the host thought. The interview time was over, and she could just clock off.

The host, noticing Shi Yaoguang’s dissatisfaction, quickly said, "That’s all for today’s xx interview. Thank you, Ms. Shi, for joining us. We look forward to future cooperation."

Shi Yaoguang exchanged pleasantries briefly and then left the scene.

The fans below remained very excited.

Of course, some of them understood what Shi Yaoguang meant and stopped making a fuss.

However, many others felt that Shi Yaoguang, knowing full well about Quan Jinbei’s infidelity yet choosing not to divorce him, was too submissive, which didn’t match the persona she had initially presented to everyone. Therefore, they didn’t want to support her anymore.

To this, Shi Yaoguang’s stance was very firm.

That is—she didn’t care.

Those fans clamoring about unfollowing, she welcomed them to stay.

If they wanted to leave, she wouldn’t try to keep them.

Not to mention, she wouldn’t divorce Quan Jinbei just for them.

Although divorce was out of the question, she still needed to clear things up with Quan Jinbei to understand what was really going on.

She felt that there must be some misunderstanding between her and Quan Jinbei.

It was this misinformation that led to the estrangement in their relationship.

Problems between husband and wife must be resolved as soon as possible.

Thus, she decided to have a proper talk with Quan Jinbei after going home.

...

Quan Jinbei came home with the same intention as Shi Yaoguang.

When he arrived home, he happened to hear Shi Yaoguang talking with the butler.

"Butler, if there is anything you think I’m not doing well, please bring it up."

"If I believe I can change it, I am willing to make the change."

"At the same time, I would also like for you to understand your place, as well as mine."
