Chapter 678: Chapter 678: He’s So Ordinary Yet So Confident

The butler could not have been happier that the Third Master and Madam were able to put their past grievances behind them.

Especially since the Third Master, for the sake of Madam, broke his longstanding habits.

Before witnessing the changes in the Third Master himself, he had believed that the Third Master and Madam would never make any progress in this lifetime.

Because of the Third Master’s obsession with cleanliness.

Unexpectedly, just after a few words between the Third Master and Madam, they reconciled.

The next day, they even planned to go out together to celebrate the Third Master’s birthday.

Upon learning of this, the butler was nearly moved to tears.

What was it he most wanted to see in his advanced age?

It was definitely to witness the Third Master, whom he had seen grow up, marrying and having children, reaching the pinnacle of life.

When the Third Master was declared not likely to live past thirty, the butler thought all of this was his own wishful thinking.

Unexpectedly, the Third Master really survived.

It’s just... the old man’s demands were too bizarre.

Why, in good order, would he insist that the Third Master marry the Fourth Young Master’s girlfriend?

Although they were not related by blood, in a sense, it was still incestuous!

No matter what the butler thought internally, the old man was adamant about having the Third Master marry the Fourth Young Master’s woman, and the butler, despite being anxious, had no way to prevent it and had to let it be.

Not long ago, he was still wondering if the Third Master would only be able to spend the rest of his life with a Madam Quan that could be seen but not touched.

Even though he could find other women outside, the children born from such liaisons could not be acknowledged openly.

Thinking that such a good man like the Third Master couldn’t even have a proper marriage and offspring, the butler was deeply pained.

Now, all for the better, the Third Master has been completely won over by Madam.

Although the butler felt in his heart that the Third Master might have been a bit too easy to settle down, he was also delighted.

The best outcome was for the Third Master to have a change of heart; if the Third Master couldn’t get over it, the butler really didn’t know how to resolve the situation.

If Madam could cheer up the Third Master, even if she was previously the Fourth Young Master’s girlfriend, the butler felt he could accept that.

Who doesn’t have a past?

...

Just because the butler could let go, it didn’t mean others could too.

Especially the old man, who arranged all these coincidences.

Why did the old man create such chaos in people’s relationships?

Wasn’t it just to manipulate Quan Jinbei?

The old man was banking on Quan Jinbei’s obsessive-compulsive mindset that nothing would happen with Shi Yaoguang, which was precisely why he purposely arranged it.

He even thought that without the prospect of marrying and having children, even if Quan Jinbei messed around outside, he wouldn’t acknowledge those children’s status.

Who would have thought that Quan Jinbei would give him such a big surprise?

Because of his forced marriage, his obsession with cleanliness was cured.

If obsessive cleanliness was so easily cured, would so many people still be driven to death by it every year?

No matter how much the old man detested Quan Jinbei for undermining his plans, he had no way to stop the development of feelings between Quan Jinbei and Shi Yaoguang.

He could only watch helplessly as photos of Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei’s sweet outing lit up the hot search on social media.

Another who couldn’t accept this was Quan Sicheng.

Seeing Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei together, so sweet and loving, Quan Sicheng couldn’t help but confront his father.

"Dad, is this your promise to me?"

The old man was at a loss; he had indeed promised that nothing substantial would happen between Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei.

Once Quan Sicheng took control, not only would the Quan Family be his, but Shi Yaoguang too.

Because of Quan Jinbei’s severe cleanliness obsession, he was assured that Shi Yaoguang, as she was initially, would remain the same when she returned to his side.

After hearing the old man’s words and weighing the situation, Quan Sicheng agreed to his arrangement.

Anyhow, with Quan Jinbei’s obsession, he couldn’t possibly have anything happen with Shi Yaoguang.

He was just temporarily losing a girlfriend.

Besides, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Perhaps, his relationship with Shi Yaoguang would improve because of this separation.

With this in mind, Quan Sicheng compromised.

But to his surprise, Quan Jinbei’s obsessive-compulsiveness about cleanliness had actually been cured!

Wasn’t it said that his OCD was so serious that he couldn’t let others get close to him?

What kind of easily cured OCD is that? It doesn’t even count as OCD!

No matter how crazed Quan Sicheng felt inside, he couldn’t change the increasingly harmonious atmosphere between Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei.

After seeing the headlines for a few days, he finally couldn’t bear it any longer.

He felt that he must go and demand an explanation from Shi Yaoguang.

Quan Family.

When the butler saw Quan Sicheng coming,, he was about to close the door right away.

He didn’t show the slightest intention of welcoming Quan Sicheng as a guest.

As a guest?

He wasn’t even worthy!

Quan Sicheng had things to do and couldn’t be bothered to argue with the butler, he immediately said, "I want to see Shi Yaoguang, let her come out and see me!"

Hearing this, the butler’s face darkened, "Fourth Master, this isn’t a place for you to throw a tantrum. You should go back where you came from."

Quan Sicheng’s expression was just as uncompromising, "I said, I want to see Shi Yaoguang!"

The butler maintained his stance, "Sorry."

Quan Sicheng didn’t care whether he was welcome or not, he pushed the butler aside and barged in.

Watching his retreating figure, the butler’s eyes flickered, and he immediately took out his phone.

Call the police.

Close the door.

All in one breath.

Quite in line with Shi Yaoguang’s essence of dealing with scum.

The butler thought to himself that since he had already called the police, there was no rush to go in.

With both the Third Master and the Madam inside, he doubted that Quan Sicheng could stir up any trouble.

And indeed, Quan Sicheng hadn’t been able to cause any issues.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but that he couldn’t.

Neither Shi Yaoguang nor Quan Jinbei had given him too much attention; Quan Jinbei was working in the study, while Shi Yaoguang sat on the couch watching television.

She was watching a dating reality show, a new program she was about to start filming next week.

So, she was reviewing past episodes to think ahead and ensure she understood the rules when the time came.

Quan Sicheng’s intrusion had been heard by her.

However, she had no plans to say anything to Quan Sicheng.

Considering that both Quan Sicheng and Quan Jinbei’s memories had been manipulated by someone, she felt she could afford to be a bit more lenient towards Quan Sicheng.

Of course, that was as long as Quan Sicheng didn’t make a scene.

Otherwise...

Sorry, but she wasn’t the forgiving type.

Quan Sicheng was still unaware that his fate had already been premeditated by Shi Yaoguang.

He was staring at her with an angry expression, looking no different than a husband furious at a wife caught cheating.

"Shi Yaoguang! What do you mean by this?"

Shi Yaoguang looked up and retorted, "What do you mean by ’what do you mean’?"

Quan Sicheng burst out indignantly, "What’s going on with you and Quan Jinbei?"

"We’re doing very well," Shi Yaoguang recalled their recent interactions with satisfaction, "A loving couple, no friction, I am very pleased."

Hearing this, Quan Sicheng had the illusion that his heart was bleeding.

"Shi Yaoguang, how could you do this? Have you forgotten about the feelings between us?"

"Between us..." Shi Yaoguang asked subconsciously, "What feelings do we have between us?"

Quan Sicheng felt as if he was having a heart attack, he even thought Shi Yaoguang was deliberately playing dumb, "Don’t think you can escape the blame this way!"

Seeing the man in front of her so confident, Shi Yaoguang asked with interest, "Then please tell me, what wrong do you think I’ve done?"
