Chapter 766: Chapter 766: After All, I’m Not the Kind of Person Who Makes a Fuss

On what grounds does she feel entitled to demand this and that from me?

With just a pout of her lips, she expects me to gift her all sorts of nice things. Why doesn’t she just rob someone?

No.

She doesn’t even need to rob anyone.

She knows that with a mere word from her lips, she can get these things. Why would she need to rob someone then?

Thinking of this, his face turned even uglier.

Yet Shi Yaoguang, as if utterly oblivious to reading the room, continued to fantasize about how happy she would be upon receiving gifts.

"Fan Shao, I’m the young master of SATA Group. My family should be pretty wealthy, right?"

When Fan Yanshu heard this question, he couldn’t hold back any longer.

He asked the question he was most curious about, "Why do you want everything?"

"Hasn’t Quan Jinbei given you money to spend?"

Confronted with such a soul-searching question, Shi Yaoguang didn’t panic at all.

"His money is his money," Shi Yaoguang said, tilting her head, "Even though we are husband and wife, I wouldn’t frivolously spend money. Plus..."

She sniffed, lowered her head, and put on a pitiable look, "You have no idea how tough it is to be the wife of a wealthy family."

"I might seem glamorous on the surface, but my husband will nitpick over every extra penny I spend."

Saying this, her eyes reddened with self-pity, "If it weren’t for his reputation as the third master Quan, I wouldn’t have married him."

Fan Yanshu: "..."

Upon learning the truth so abruptly, he didn’t know how to react for a moment.

He had always believed that Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei truly had a good marital relationship.

Who would have thought that it wasn’t about having a good relationship at all? Clearly, Shi Yaoguang was just a great actress!

The thought of having to win over such a drama queen made his headache intensify.

Seeing Fan Yanshu’s expression, Shi Yaoguang seemed to sense something was wrong, and considerately asked him, "Fan Shao, are you feeling unwell?"

"I’m not unwell," he replied.

Fan Yanshu steadied his skyrocketing blood pressure, doing his best to squeeze out a smile.

Shi Yaoguang also flashed a brilliant smile, "That’s good to hear, now I’m relieved."

Because of Shi Yaoguang’s bizarre words, much of Fan Yanshu’s joy at the prospect of "getting closer" to her had evaporated.

He had thought that once their feelings for each other improved, so naturally would their closeness.

With increased closeness, successfully winning her over was just a matter of time.

But now, look at what happened.

Shi Yaoguang had outright set a price.

Want to win her over?

Sure!

Arrange for the Eternal Star System.

Besides that, there were luxury cruises, limited edition dresses, and so on.

Apart from giving gifts to draw closer, he sensed another angle.

That is...

If he himself could outshine Quan Jinbei and bring Shi Yaoguang greater benefits, maybe she would forsake Quan Jinbei and turn to him instead.

But!

That would be very hard to achieve.

If he could be as awesome as Quan Jinbei, he probably wouldn’t need to undertake such a strategy mission.

In any case, he was now at his wit’s end.

As he was thinking this, Shi Yaoguang spoke again, "If you really find it too troublesome, I can understand. After all, I’m not the type to be unreasonably demanding."

Fan Yanshu quickly said, "That’s not what I mean."

"There’s another banquet in half a month that I’m invited to, but I don’t have suitable jewelry. I think that set from the Eternal Star System would be perfect..."

The conversation having reached its end, Shi Yaoguang no longer insisted and changed the subject, "Didn’t you say you had things to do? Why haven’t you left yet? I can watch your little kitty for you."

Hearing this, Fan Yanshu forced a smile, "I just received a message that I don’t need to go myself, I can take care of it at home."

"Ah~" Shi Yaoguang gave him a meaningful glance, her tone tinged with a hint of regret, "Well, in that case, I’ll head back first. We’re not that familiar with each other, it wouldn’t be good if people misunderstand."

After speaking, she bid farewell to Fan Yanshu.

Once Shi Yaoguang had left, Fan Yanshu’s face was darker than the bottom of a pot.

Every time he thought about Shi Yaoguang’s various bizarre actions, he couldn’t help but get a headache.

What sins had he committed in his past life to encounter such a peculiar woman?

Shi Yaoguang’s mood, on the other hand, was the complete opposite.

Initially, she had wanted to play a heartfelt game that would make him unable to let go of her.

After following him home, she changed her mind.

Fan Yanshu simply wasn’t worthy of her heartfelt effort, or to put it another way, he wasn’t qualified for that kind of VIP-level indulgence.

Therefore, Shi Yaoguang simply took a detour.

Want to win her over?

Sure.

It will all depend on whether his wallet is full or not.

Thinking about his frustrated expression, Shi Yaoguang felt her plan was absolutely perfect.

Quan Jinbei saw Shi Yaoguang’s happy expression and said with a sour tone, "Did you encounter something delightful?"

"Which man has charmed you into such smiles?"

Shi Yaoguang walked up to him, stood on her tiptoes, and with one hand lifted his chin, speaking with a rogue-like tone, "The only one who can make me happy is you, of course."

"With such a top-tier man right before my eyes, who do you think could be better than you?"

Quan Jinbei admitted he’d been sweet-talked.

Indeed, no one was better than him.

With him as a shining example, Fan Yanshu was... to put it mildly, a weakling.

Thinking this, Quan Jinbei’s mood instantly improved.

Shi Yaoguang studied his face for a moment, then chuckled, "Let me tell you some not-so-good news, but don’t get mad, okay?"

"Hmm?"

Quan Jinbei’s eyes narrowed, emitting a formidable aura, "You better not tell me that you have any designs on that fool Fan Yanshu."

"How could I possibly!" Shi Yaoguang rolled her eyes, "Can’t you have a little faith in me?"

"Then spill it, what exactly happened."

"I think he’s not worthy of a deep, emotional performance from me, so I just..." Shi Yaoguang recounted what happened after she went to Fan Yanshu’s house, leaving out no detail.

Having finished, she didn’t forget to sum up, "Although I may have smeared your reputation, it was a necessary move."

"You’re not mad at me, right?"

Quan Jinbei burst into laughter out of sheer anger, "I get slandered and I’m not allowed to have any complaints?"

"You can, you can! You can have as many complaints as you want," Shi Yaoguang was very agreeable.

Quan Jinbei: "..."

He glanced at her helplessly, "I’m not concerned about my reputation."

His tone then became dangerous, "Tell me, what do you think he’ll do once he knows we’re not on good terms?"

"Will he try to move in when he sees an opening? After all, in your script, we’re just a couple in appearance."

Shi Yaoguang nodded solemnly, "That’s possible."

At this thought, she shared her suspicion, "I suspect he might have a System."

"System?"

Quan Jinbei was initially clueless but then remembered what a System was.

"If he really has a System, then does the existence of this System mean it’s there to win you over?"
