Chapter 763: Chapter 763: Only by Eating Well Can We Have the Energy to Work

Shi Yaoguang, albeit reluctantly, agreed to Fan Yanshu’s request to become his friend.

However, she warned him repeatedly, not allowing him to harbor any excessive thoughts about her.

"I agreed to become friends with you to put an end to your inappropriate aspirations. If you dare to have any improper thoughts about me, I will cut ties with you completely!"

Fan Yanshu appeared shocked, hastily assuring her, "Rest assured, I will definitely not have any excessive thoughts, you must believe me!"

"Hmm."

After Shi Yaoguang finished speaking, she turned around and walked away.

Fan Yanshu stood behind her, watching her retreating figure, the joyful expression on his face instantly wiped clean to reveal a hint of a smile filled with determined desire.

He told himself that no matter how formidable Shi Yaoguang was, she was just a woman after all.

A woman—there’s nothing easier than to win one over.

Fan Yanshu didn’t take Shi Yaoguang seriously.

Or to be more specific, because Shi Yaoguang "took the bait" so easily, in Fan Yanshu’s mind, she had lost the sense of nobility she had before.

In his eyes, any woman who could be easily conquered was not worth his attention.

Little did he know, while he was looking down on Shi Yaoguang, she was even more disdainful of him.

Upon returning home, she began complaining to Quan Jinbei.

"I thought Fan Yanshu’s seduction skills would be more sophisticated, but it turned out to be nothing special."

She was almost losing interest in the act.

It was like a seasoned actor with twenty years of experience having to cooperate with a newcomer who had only learned to act for two hours; it was exhausting.

Quan Jinbei unprincipledly took her side, "If you’re feeling annoyed, just get rid of him directly."

A petty person is not worth so much time.

"How can that be?" Shi Yaoguang was unwilling to give up so easily, "Since he has the audacity to provoke me, he should be prepared for the possibility of a crash! I don’t have much to do recently anyway, playing along with him is just fine."

Seeing her resolve, Quan Jinbei no longer objected, "If that’s the case, then I will find a way to spoil you."

"How will you spoil me?" Shi Yaoguang’s eyes flickered with curiosity as she looked at him.

Quan Jinbei cleared his throat, speaking seriously, "You need to eat well to have the strength to work."

This was something Shi Yaoguang agreed with.

Then she heard him continue, "You are what you eat."

That saying...

Shi Yaoguang could reluctantly agree with it, too.

The so-called specific nourishment is about targeting what seems similar in shape or spirit.

It’s like eating pig’s brains is thought to nourish the brain.

Eating pig’s trotters is believed to strengthen the legs.

Although seemingly absurd, it also sounds quite reasonable.

In essence, under Quan Jinbei’s grandiose explanation, Shi Yaoguang was to sell her "charm" to counter-seduce Fan Yanshu.

As a "good helper" and husband, Quan Jinbei naturally could not allow Shi Yaoguang to lack "charm," so...

He delivered himself to his wife’s bed.

Don’t ask how he managed to do it so shamelessly.

This is probably a man’s innate gift.

Although Shi Yaoguang did not fully agree with his excuse to seek her favor, as the party who did not have to make an effort, she still enjoyed it very much.

Fan Yanshu had no idea that he had changed from the hunter to the hunted.

After meeting Shi Yaoguang that day, he became even more confident in himself.

He would find opportunities to flaunt himself in front of Shi Yaoguang from time to time.

Of course, his showing off was not very straightforward.

He looked for various reasons.

For example, when Shi Yaoguang went out shopping, he just happened to appear in the store she visited.

Or, when Quan Jinbei was discussing business with someone else, he just happened to show up and catch a glimpse of Shi Yaoguang.

In short, he was relentless in his methods.

Although shameless, the effect was indeed pleasing.

He successfully captured enough of Shi Yaoguang’s attention.

That, of course, was thanks to Shi Yaoguang’s active cooperation—if not for that...

She could make Fan Yanshu never get to see her in his lifetime.

Fan Yanshu had been preparing for an unplanned encounter for over a month and finally felt the timing was ripe.

He immediately made a request to Shi Yaoguang for a date.

No.

Strictly speaking, he did not have the qualifications to ask Shi Yaoguang on a date.

He used the excuse that his pet kitten was sick and hoped Shi Yaoguang could help take care of it.

Speaking of the kitten, it was also somewhat related to Shi Yaoguang.

It was something he had prepared specifically for Shi Yaoguang, as he believed no girl could resist the allure of something cute and furry.

A basic affection level of seven could easily turn into nine with the help of something cute and furry.

The last point was no longer an issue.

Yes.

That’s right.

In Fan Yanshu’s view, he had already scored seven points with Shi Yaoguang.

The last three, two of which could be secured with the assistance of the furry creature.

The remaining one, with the aid of his beautiful body... he could completely conquer her.

Thinking this way, he felt even more pleased with himself.

There wasn’t a woman he couldn’t win over.

If there was, then she just needed to spend a night with him!

This was a belief built on his personal experience, and he trusted that Shi Yaoguang would be no exception.

Little did he know.

If Shi Yaoguang didn’t want to, he wouldn’t even get the chance to approach her.

Let alone deploy what he considered his best seduction strategy.

Shi Yaoguang was quite impatient with Fan Yanshu’s dilly-dallying and was relieved to see him finally making a move.

If she had to keep playing along, she might not be able to stop herself from taking action.

Thus, when Fan Yanshu made the request for Shi Yaoguang to help him take care of his kitten at his house, she agreed.

Although Fan Yanshu had been prepared, he was still overjoyed.

He was truly happy.

If he could take the opportunity to win over Shi Yaoguang, his brilliant future would be within reach!

Shi Yaoguang was also very happy, as her plan could finally begin to take shape.

With their own intentions, the two of them walked to Fan Yanshu’s house.

He had been living in a hotel, but after blocking Shi Yaoguang on her way home that day, he moved.

He bought a villa not far from Quan Jinbei’s, straight away.

It was said that he had paid double the price for it.

As a result, rumors spread in the villa area about the buyer who spent double the money, "that foolish man with too much money."

Although...

This wasn’t far from the truth.

Fan Yanshu occasionally went out and was looked at with strange eyes, which made him feel embarrassed.

Yet he couldn’t proactively say anything, or he would be the one feeling awkward.

Shi Yaoguang, having said nothing about him buying a house not far from next door to Quan Jinbei, seemed to give passive consent.

In Fan Yanshu’s eyes, this was her tacit approval.

If she could tolerate it once, she could do it a second time.

And the frequency would only increase.

By the time she was completely used to his presence, it would be time for him to make himself at home.

Fan Yanshu had planned well.

The only thing he hadn’t anticipated was that Shi Yaoguang’s thoughts were much like his own.

He wanted to make himself at home, and Shi Yaoguang was also waiting for an opportunity to do the same.

How could one appreciate the value of love without deeper contact?

If he had never owned it, losing it wouldn’t matter, for it never belonged to him in the first place.

But...
