After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 754: Full of Jealousy

Chapter 754: Chapter 754: Full of Jealousy

From the looks of this man, you can tell he is a Z Country native, as for whether he grew up here, that’s hard to say.

Upon realizing this, Bai Tangyuan suddenly thought that it was forgivable that he failed to recognize Shi Yaoguang.

After all, she was not in the country, so it was normal for him not to know the domestic female celebrities.

But then, he felt something was off again.

Shi Yaoguang was not only a celebrity but also the one who launched the Yaoguang Flower and other high-tech products.

Like the Space Button and Protection Shield and stuff.

Even a six-year-old child knew about these things, which surely other countries would be informed about.

This kind of thing was not just celebrity gossip.

It pertained to national development, and Bai Tangyuan figured with his own noggin that it was news that would appear in any country.

If this man was clueless about Shi Yaoguang under such circumstances,

then he had every reason to doubt his identity.

With this thought, Bai Tangyuan narrowed his eyes dangerously.

His tone turned dark, "I’ve got it!"

"Are you also trying to pretend to be a love child to cause trouble?"

Upon hearing this, the man was startled for a moment, "What love child?"

Bai Tangyuan observed his expression carefully, making sure he wasn’t lying, before snorting, "If you’re not, then forget it, otherwise... hmph hmph."

He raised his little fists, looking ready to teach the man a lesson.

The man held his forehead as if he had a headache, like he couldn’t communicate with a child, "Uncle is really not a bad guy, you can accompany me back to find your auntie if you don’t believe me."

Bai Tangyuan hesitated before shaking his head.

The man puzzled, "What do you mean by that?"

Bai Tangyuan reached out straight away, "You don’t need to find my auntie. If you want to say thanks, I can pass on the message. Just give me the phone, and I’ll return it for you."

"There’s no need to trouble you, besides, using her phone without even saying thank you would be rather impolite..."

The man stopped as he met Bai Tangyuan’s deep gaze, "I’ve already said I’d pass on your gratitude, and yet you stick to your own views. You wouldn’t happen to have other designs on my auntie, would you?"

"I don’t." The man spoke rapidly.

"If not, then give me the phone." Bai Tangyuan extended his hand again.

The man had no choice but to hand the phone over to him.

As Bai Tangyuan walked back, the man tried to keep up with him but was glared back.

"I told you, stop following me!"

Once finished speaking, the little fellow quickened his pace and scampered back to Shi Yaoguang.

"Auntie, I’m back~"

As he spoke, Bai Tangyuan handed the phone to Shi Yaoguang.

Shi Yaoguang took the phone and casually dropped it into her bag, asking curiously, "Did you find out anything?"

Bai Tangyuan scoffed, with a look of disdain, "I told you I wasn’t wrong; that man is interested in you!"

"He even wanted to use returning your phone as an excuse to hit on you! But I cleverly turned him down, ehehe."

Quan Jinbei spared no compliments, "Well done."

Bai Tangyuan and he exchanged a look, his proud and haughty attitude unmistakably clear.

Shi Yaoguang watched the two interact and clicked her tongue lightly, "When did the two of you become so close?"

Quan Jinbei bluffed with utmost seriousness, "The friendship between men sometimes just comes this easily."

Bai Tangyuan agreed, "Exactly! Uncle Quan and I are men standing on the same battle line!"

"Men?" Shi Yaoguang looked down at his short stature, resembling a Little Radish Head, "Are you sure you’re a man?"

Bai Tangyuan’s lips were pouted high, "So what if I’m young? Am I not allowed to be a little man?"

"Allowed, of course, you’re allowed," Shi Yaoguang was very cooperative and finally coaxed Bai Tangyuan into a beaming smile.

After the wedding ceremony began, Bai Tangyuan was called away to complete the tasks required of a little page boy.

As he left, Quan Jinbei wrapped his arms around Shi Yaoguang’s waist, allowing her to lean comfortably against him, and sighed, "We haven’t had a wedding yet."

It was only when he said this that Shi Yaoguang remembered.

But she didn’t have any particular thoughts about weddings.

"We’re already an old couple, what’s the point of having a wedding?"

They could just make do with what they had.

Shi Yaoguang hadn’t finished her sentence, but Quan Jinbei saw through her thoughts and immediately objected, "No way."

"Why not?"

Shi Yaoguang sighed, "Weddings are such a hassle, even though Western-style weddings are much simpler than Chinese ones, but it’s still exhausting after a whole day. I don’t want to—"

Before she could finish, Shi Yaoguang heard the man’s dangerously low hum, "Hmm? Again?"

"Cough cough," Shi Yaoguang cleared her throat, "You heard wrong, I didn’t say again... "

"You haven’t gotten married before during your missions at the Quick Travel Agency, have you?"

Quan Jinbei relentlessly questioned, "How many times have you been married? What number am I? Do you think our wedding isn’t important because I’m not your first husband? Or maybe you feel that I am also a dispensable presence to you?"

Listening to the man’s deep voice asking jealously-laden questions by her ear, Shi Yaoguang felt this was a sweet worry.

She wished she hadn’t made that sentimental remark.

As for whether she had been married before...

Indeed she had.

Naturally, the marriages she had during her missions mostly didn’t end well.

In other words, she was altering tragic fates for others.

Even when married, the original hosts were destined to be let down by others.

Grooms running away from weddings, for instance.

Or being married in name only.

In sum, all possibilities existed, but a very common element was...

The marriages weren’t for love.

There couldn’t be any love between them.

At that thought, Shi Yaoguang couldn’t help but sigh for those original hosts.

They had it tough too.

She hoped they could also have the chance, just like her, to travel back in time.

Even if someone helped to change their previous life’s tragedy...

It wasn’t their own doing, after all.

Even if the ending was different, they couldn’t see it, could they?

She had also wanted to change her own past herself, which was why, given a better choice, she decided to return to this world and travel back in time.

Jealousy clouding his judgment, Quan Jinbei noticed Shi Yaoguang was daydreaming, his eyes narrowed dangerously, and while holding her, he bit her earlobe neither too lightly nor too heavily.

The earlobe was very sensitive, and Shi Yaoguang let out a cold hiss, "Quan Jinbei!"

Quan Jinbei hummed, "I’m here."

Then, in a wistful tone, he said, "Indeed, love is the most unreliable thing."

"You were calling me ’hubby’ before we came, and now you’re calling me by my full name. Will you start calling me Mr. Quan in the future?"

Shi Yaoguang was both annoyed and amused by his sarcasm, and she punched him lightly on the chest to warn him, "That’s enough!"
