Chapter 692: Chapter 692: You Might Have Misunderstood Me

While Bai Tangyuan was pondering, he heard Shi Yaoguang’s voice, "Your coffee smells so good, I can hardly bring myself to drink it."

His first reaction to these words was to think that the woman in front of him was way too unsophisticated.

Coffee from the break room’s packet, how good could it be?

Yet, she felt reluctant to drink it.

Was she usually drinking tap water?

Thinking this way, Bai Tangyuan couldn’t help but adopt a somewhat superior attitude.

At the same time, the look he gave Tang Nade became a bit resentful.

How could Uncle Tang Nade choose such a fiancée?

She was clearly not presentable enough.

Fortunately, Tang Nade had no idea what Bai Tangyuan was thinking, otherwise, he would have surely remarked that the kid was still too young.

Shi Yaoguang was by no means something unsophisticated.

She was...

The kind of person who could bring out plenty of cooperation cases that people would fight over.

After all, cooperation could be with anyone, but Shi Yaoguang was different.

The main feature of her cooperation cases was in the patents.

Although no one knew how she came up with the Space Button, Laser Sword, Protection Shield, and Yaoguang Flower that could treat cancer — all of which were way beyond the level of this world’s development —

Just the things Shi Yaoguang was openly offering were enough to astonish people.

Not to mention, she might have unrevealed patents in private.

Even a single one of her cooperation cases would be enough for a small company to go public and even overtake other companies.

Yet such a person was deemed unsophisticated by Bai Tangyuan.

How ridiculous was that?

Even if he liked Bai Tangyuan very much, Tang Nade would never agree with Bai Tangyuan’s view.

Bai Tangyuan, however, was unaware of all this.

At the moment, he was feeling a tad irritable.

The main reason was Shi Yaoguang.

After declaring her reluctance to drink the coffee Shi Yaoguang just held up the cup without taking a sip.

It seemed she genuinely had no intention of drinking, which Bai Tangyuan found very displeasing.

"Auntie, if you don’t drink it now, the coffee will get cold."

Shi Yaoguang, hearing his urging, curled her lips into a smile that was not quite a smile.

"Didn’t I say that I couldn’t bear to drink it?"

Bai Tangyuan said impatiently, "It’s not that precious, there’s no need for reluctance."

"How can that be?"

Shi Yaoguang shook the coffee cup, her tone nonchalant, "A warm welcome from a young friend like you shouldn’t be wasted, right? Hmm... let me guess, what did you add to it?"

At these words, Bai Tangyuan’s heart skipped a beat, but he did not admit to doing anything, and he looked at her in angry embarrassment, "I don’t understand what you’re talking about."

"It’s okay if you don’t understand," Shi Yaoguang chuckled softly, "I’m just telling you."

Bai Tangyuan, seeing her smile, inexplicably felt a chill from head to toe.

"The things I can’t bear to part with usually have someone specially assigned to collect them. How about I make a call right now, have someone come over, and take the coffee away? By then, whatever you added to the coffee, I would naturally know, without having to ask you."

Hearing this, Bai Tangyuan didn’t feel comforted.

He watched her warily, "Don’t think that just because you say this, I’ll be afraid of you."

Shi Yaoguang shrugged, "I’m not trying to make you afraid of me, I’m just telling you that I am going to send the coffee to my collector friend, that’s all."

"Tch," Bai Tangyuan sneered, "Who knows what your friend is like. Probably just some idler."

Shi Yaoguang gave him a calming look, "That’s not for you to worry about."

"My friend, was just met today."

Bai Tangyuan’s look of disgust intensified as she said, "You give your belongings to someone you just met today. Do you have no other friends besides him?"

"Of course not."

Shi Yaoguang laughed lightly, "It’s just that my friend, he is more knowledgeable about this area."

"More knowledgeable about this area?"

Bai Tangyuan’s expression still carried a trace of disdain, "Then do tell, what kind of friend of yours knows so much."

Shi Yaoguang showed a gentle, helpless smile, then said, "He’s not someone who is presentable in public, you wouldn’t know him anyway. But since you asked, I’ll tell you."

"He’s a customs officer."

When Bai Tangyuan heard this, he was subconsciously stunned, "Why is his name so strange? Called what, a customs officer, who would recognize..."

He was in the middle of speaking when he suddenly stopped short, "What, what did you just say?"

Shi Yaoguang gave him an encouraging look, "You need to trust your own ears, what you heard is exactly what I meant."

Bai Tangyuan was dumbfounded, "Are you sure?"

"Mm-hmm," Shi Yaoguang said, and let out a fake sigh, "With your perspective, you wouldn’t be afraid of a customs officer, right?"

Bai Tangyuan: "..."

Don’t bully him for being young.

Even though he’s young, being influenced by Uncle Tang Nade, he knows that the customs is not to be trifled with.

The moment he thought of the consequences he might face if he messed with customs, he instantly chickened out.

Shi Yaoguang, as if she hadn’t noticed, asked in confusion, "Why have you suddenly fallen silent?"

Bai Tangyuan: "..."

Shi Yaoguang continued to ask, "Do you think my friend isn’t respectable enough?"

As she spoke, her face seemed to show a touch of sorrow, "I know my friend isn’t anyone powerful, and it’s normal for you to look down on him. However, I think it’s okay to let him check what’s inside the coffee."

Already feeling guilty, Bai Tangyuan blurted out in a panic, "No way!"

Tang Nade hadn’t realized which play Shi Yaoguang was performing.

Now, seeing Bai Tangyuan’s reaction, he understood.

His gaze fell on Bai Tangyuan, with a touch of nervousness in his eyes.

"Tangyuan, did you put something in the coffee?"

No matter how mischievous Bai Tangyuan was, he was still a child.

That was his mentality, and upon hearing Tang Nade’s question, his tears immediately began to fall.

He threw himself into Tang Nade’s arms sobbing and lamenting his grievances, "It wasn’t intentional! I, I just couldn’t stand this woman’s hypocrisy, so I wanted to teach her a lesson!"

He said this, crying very loudly and pitifully.

Tang Nade, moved by his tears, hesitated as he looked at Shi Yaoguang, as if contemplating asking for mercy.

But Shi Yaoguang didn’t give him the chance.

"If you’re thinking about asking me to go easy on the kid, you might as well give up that hope now."

The words Tang Nade was about to say got stuck in his throat.

Bai Tangyuan, already a little scared, saw Shi Yaoguang’s aggressive demeanor and immediately felt indignant.

In his view, Shi Yaoguang, being Tang Nade’s fiancée, should naturally prioritize Tang Nade and obey his commands as the most correct choice.

Her behavior was too "rebellious."

He even thought about inciting Tang Nade to give Shi Yaoguang a lesson.

However, his plans were quickly shattered by Shi Yaoguang’s next statement.

"Little brother, I think you have a misunderstanding about me."

Shi Yaoguang said, as she pulled over Quan Jinbei, who had been acting as a backdrop all this time, and spoke with a sugary tone, "I’m not your Uncle Tang Nade’s fiancée, and also, I’m already married."
