Chapter 753: Chapter 753 My Aunt is Already Married

Bai Tangyuan insisted that the man who asked Shi Yaoguang to borrow his phone was trying to hit on her.

Seeing Shi Yaoguang didn’t believe her, her stubborn temper flared up, and she immediately patted her chest and said, "How about we make a bet? If he really wanted to hit on you, aunty, then I win. If he just didn’t bring his phone, then you win!"

"Okay."

Shi Yaoguang accepted the little one’s wager.

The little one harrumphed and, with a step that acknowledged no kin, walked towards the man who was still on the phone.

At this moment, Quan Jinbei came up behind Shi Yaoguang with a small cake in hand.

"Eat some cake first to fill your stomach."

As he spoke, he personally picked up a small cake and brought it to Shi Yaoguang’s lips.

Shi Yaoguang gave him a sidelong glance, opened her mouth, and bit off half.

Just as she was about to take a second bite, she saw him, seemingly nonchalant but super quick, stuff the remaining half into his own mouth, and then looked at Shi Yaoguang with an innocent face as if nothing had happened.

Shi Yaoguang, helpless, "If you wanted to eat, couldn’t you have just taken another piece?"

Quan Jinbei spoke righteously, "I just liked that one."

"..."

Shi Yaoguang didn’t want to talk more with him and shifted her gaze back to Bai Tangyuan.

Quan Jinbei, watching her expression closely, immediately asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Tangyuan said that man wanted to hit on me, but I think it was just a coincidence."

Shi Yaoguang repeated the story of the man borrowing her phone and shared her own opinion.

Quan Jinbei expressed agreement with Bai Tangyuan’s view, "I think Tangyuan is right."

"How do you know Tangyuan is right?" Shi Yaoguang looked at him curiously, "Don’t tell me this is male thinking? If it were you, would you also have such intentions if you borrowed a phone from another woman?"

Quan Jinbei fed her another piece of cake while explaining, "Under normal circumstances, there shouldn’t be a need to borrow a phone."

"Even if I really reached a point without a phone, I could seek help from another man."

As he spoke, he tipped his chin up slightly and pointed towards the many male guests present.

"You see, there are quite a few gentlemen here today, but he didn’t approach any of them. Instead, he found you. Do you really think he didn’t have any other intentions?"

Shi Yaoguang found herself at a loss for words.

Originally, she truly thought the man had no such thoughts and that it was probably just a coincidence.

But now that Quan Jinbei had put it that way, it did seem somewhat suspicious.

Perhaps it was intentional.

Yet one couldn’t be certain; "Maybe he just thought I seemed more approachable," Shi Yaoguang thought of an excuse.

Quan Jinbei gave her a meaningful look, "If someone normally needs help, they should seek out someone who looks capable, for instance, if it’s a middle-aged man, he should look to someone close to his age or older. Such people naturally feel more approachable, and it would make asking for help smoother."

"If there’s no one suitable on the scene, then as a second choice, they could turn to younger men who look safe, followed by older women and, lastly, young girls."

"If there are many men around, solid and matching the criteria for seeking help, and yet one doesn’t even consider them, preferring instead to approach a woman who appears delicate and frail, that’s very problematic."

Quan Jinbei continued, sizing up Shi Yaoguang with his gaze, his tone playful, "Though I know your combat level is not like that of ordinary girls, others don’t know that. Now tell me... If he knew you were just a delicate woman and sought your help nonetheless, what do you think his intentions were?"

Shi Yaoguang blinked and said resignedly, "Could it really be that serious?"

The person simply used his phone to make a call.

"Better safe than sorry," Quan Jinbei said as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and locked eyes with her, "I know you’re tough, but that’s no reason to let your guard down."

Shi Yaoguang nodded, "I understand."

At the same time, she decided that when she got back, she would definitely participate in a public service announcement or something similar.

Reminded by Quan Jinbei, she remembered that every year, there were still many young girls being trafficked.

The reasons for trafficking, besides some insurmountable factors, were also about exploiting the girls’ sympathy.

Kindness is not a crime.

But if a moment of kindness cost you your life,

Even if it didn’t go to that extreme, compromising your safety was a loss nonetheless.

When facing pleas for help, never hastily dispense your sympathy; only in this way can you ensure your own safety to the greatest extent.

While Shi Yaoguang was thinking of making an advert after returning, to warn her fans and the wider netizen community to be more vigilant, the man had finished his phone call.

He squatted down, staring into Bai Tangyuan’s eyes.

Bai Tangyuan tilted her little head and grunted, "Hey, what’s your purpose in borrowing my aunt’s phone?"

The man lifted the phone, "I called my assistant and asked him to bring my phone over."

"Is that all?" Bai Tangyuan wore a skeptical expression.

The man was earnest, "That’s all, do you really think I’m a bad guy?"

Bai Tangyuan pouted, "I don’t believe you really needed my aunt’s help!"

"Why do you say that?" the man asked.

Bai Tangyuan rolled her eyes, "Today is my mommy’s wedding, and no one knows the layout of the people here better than I do! If you really needed help, you could have asked any of the staff, but you didn’t."

"You dare say, you don’t have ulterior motives?"

The man hadn’t expected Bai Tangyuan to be so sharp; facing her scrutinizing gaze, he appeared embarrassed, "Kid, you’re thinking too rigidly."

Bai Tangyuan felt slightly smug, "Of course!"

"Spit it out, what’s your real purpose! Confession will earn you leniency, come clean!"

The man put on a pleading expression, "Okay, I admit, I did have a selfish motive. Even though I really did forget my phone, I——"

While speaking, he glanced in Shi Yaoguang’s direction and lowered his voice a bit, saying to Bai Tangyuan, "Since you’re so clever, you must have heard this phrase before, right?"

"What phrase?"

"A fair lady, a gentleman’s good match."

The man said, seeming a bit shy, "I felt a flutter in my heart for that beautiful lady, which is your aunt, so..."

Bai Tangyuan didn’t let him finish, reminding him in a rather disappointed tone, "My aunt’s already married."

The man: "..."

Frowning in suspicion, Bai Tangyuan continued, "I mean, you don’t even know who my aunt is, do you?"

It had to be said, on some level, Bai Tangyuan’s way of thinking was in line with Cheng Lingdang’s.

Shi Yaoguang’s fame in the domestic scene had reached the point where everyone from three-year-olds to eighty-year-olds knew who she was.
