Chapter 758: Chapter 758 Acting Not Up to Par

Shi Yaoguang looked at Fan Yanshu with a serious face and skepticism, "Are you on my side?"

"If I remember correctly, you are apparently here to discuss a cooperation with the Quan Family on behalf of the SATA Group."

The so-called cooperation is nothing more than a disguised form of encroachment.

The SATA Group clearly wanted to nibble away at the Quan Family’s enterprise, and with Fan Yanshu coming from the opponent’s camp claiming to stand by her side, how could that seem credible?

Fan Yanshu also knew that his words might not be so easily believed.

But he had no choice, "Everything I am saying is true."

"You say it’s true, and it’s true? You have to give me a reason."

As Shi Yaoguang finished speaking, Fan Yanshu’s cheeks turned red, and he made an embarrassed expression, stammering for a moment before finally revealing the reason he stood by Shi Yaoguang’s side.

"Ever since I saw you at the wedding last time, I... I just..."

He pursed his lips and scratched his head, then managed to complete his thought, "Ever since I saw you that time, I fell in love with you at first sight, and so... so that’s why..."

"That’s why I’m on your side!"

After finishing, he hopelessly looked at Shi Yaoguang, "Can you give me a chance to pursue you?"

Shi Yaoguang: "..."

She looked at him as if he were a fool, "Do you know what you’re talking about?"

Fan Yanshu was very serious, "I know!"

"I really like you a lot! I fell for you at first sight, and thus I want to pursue you, hoping that you would give me a chance!"

Shi Yaoguang made a time-out gesture, "You say you like me, are you serious?"

Fan Yanshu nodded vigorously, "Of course, it’s true!"

"As long as you give me a chance, I will definitely show you my best."

Shi Yaoguang asked expressionlessly, "Then tell me, what is it about me that you like?"

Fan Yanshu was stumped by the question.

He fell for Shi Yaoguang at first sight, what could he like about her?

Why did she have to ask such a mood-killing question amidst such romantic affection?

Fan Yanshu complained in his heart, but he wore an expression of nervous excitement on his face, "No matter what strengths or flaws you have, I like them all! I like you as a person."

"Whether it’s your appearance or your soul, I..."

Shi Yaoguang interrupted his speech, which seemed like an impassioned recitation of an essay, "You say you fell for me at first sight, and that I can believe, after all, I’m so good-looking, falling for me is a very normal thing."

Fan Yanshu breathed a sigh of relief.

However, she immediately added, "Since lots of people have fallen for me because I’m beautiful, I don’t think that’s love."

"I’m certain!" Fan Yanshu’s gaze was intense.

Shi Yaoguang looked helpless, "Even if what you’re saying is true, I still can’t accept you, considering you just fell for my looks; today you confess to me because I’m pretty, tomorrow you could just as easily fall for another girl who’s pretty, and shift your love elsewhere."

Although full aware that, as a cultivator, her body was free of impurities and she was akin to the ceiling of beauty in this world, that didn’t stop Shi Yaoguang from using it to make a point.

Fan Yanshu’s face showed difficulty, "My feelings for you are genuine, and not just because of your looks."

Shi Yaoguang pondered, "Alright, I’ll believe you once more."

Fan Yanshu’s eyes immediately lit up, sensing an opportunity.

Then, he heard a question that was hard to answer.

That was...

"Do you know who I am?"

Of course, Fan Yanshu knew who she was.

But he didn’t know how to answer with the standard reply.

If he said he knew, then Shi Yaoguang would surely ask.

Since he knew who she was, it was impossible not to know that she was already married.

Knowing that she was married and still wanting to pursue her, did he want to be the other man?

If he answered that he didn’t know, then...

His so-called love at first sight would seem rather baseless.

After all, with his status, learning about someone was a very simple matter.

So much time had passed since the wedding, and as one of the shareholders of the SATA Group, he must have some influence, right?

In such a case, investigating a person would be extremely simple.

Therefore, if he answered that he didn’t know who she was, well...

Fan Yanshu thought about his possible responses and the obstacles he might encounter, and it gave him a headache.

Why couldn’t this embarrassing question be simply skipped over?

Why did it have to be asked aloud?

What Fan Yanshu complained about in his heart was something Shi Yaoguang couldn’t know.

After asking that question, she waited for his reply.

Fan Yanshu struggled for nearly two minutes before finally saying with difficulty, "I... I know who you are."

As he spoke, he hurriedly added as if afraid Shi Yaoguang might misunderstand, "I didn’t mean to investigate you; I just couldn’t stop thinking about you after I left. My subordinates, seeing that I was distracted and not eating properly, took the initiative to investigate you."

Shi Yaoguang nodded, "So, you already know that I am a married woman?"

Fan Yanshu nodded with difficulty, a look of regret spreading across his face, "I know."

He said, lowering his head with a bitter tone, "I really regret why I didn’t live in the country before. If I had grown up here, I would never have missed you, and perhaps we would now be the envy of all, like a match made in heaven..."

Listening to his lament, Shi Yaoguang felt a trace of disdain, "Even if you lived here, I couldn’t have married you."

"Why?" Fan Yanshu looked as if he had been struck by a heavy blow, the entire person seemed to be falling apart, "I’ve already missed you, and now you won’t even let me keep the illusion? Am I really that terrible?"

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

"Of course."

Shi Yaoguang thought for a moment, then said, "Then I will speak plainly."

"Your acting skills are truly abysmal."

Fan Yanshu: "..."

He had imagined countless possibilities in his mind.

The one thing he hadn’t expected was to be criticized by Shi Yaoguang for bad acting.

Shi Yaoguang spoke with righteousness, "Since you know who I am, you should know that I am a Best Actress."

"As a Best Actress, I am also your senior in the field."

As she spoke, she adopted the posture of a senior lecturing a junior, "Since you chose to act in front of me, you should be open to my pointers, don’t you think?"

Fan Yanshu: "..."

He awkwardly scratched at the ground with his toes, putting on a strong front without revealing panic, and instead feigned a blank look, "I don’t understand what you mean."

"It’s alright if you don’t understand now, you will understand soon."

Shi Yaoguang spoke meaningfully, reaching into her pocket and taking out the phone that she had once lent him.

Seeing her take out the phone, Fan Yanshu’s face suddenly changed, and even though he quickly composed himself, he still revealed a flaw.

Noticed by Shi Yaoguang, she spoke with a helpless tone, "See, I told you your acting skills weren’t up to par. If you’re interested in acting, you could directly ask me for guidance, instead of stubbornly flaunting your inadequate skills in front of me."
