Chapter 768: Can Love Ignore Ethics and Morality?

Chapter 768: Chapter 768: Can Love Ignore Ethics and Morality?

Many people were speculating why the young master of the Fan Family had purchased jewelry from the Eternal Star System.

You must know that, before this, the young master of the Fan Family had a very prominent reputation as a playboy.

Now that he’s making such a big fuss about buying from the Eternal Star System...

It must be to please a woman.

It’s common knowledge that the jewelry from the Eternal Star System is intended for women to wear, even if he had a boyfriend, he wouldn’t be buying from the Eternal Star System, but something else.

Therefore, the topic of whom the playboy Fan Yanshu was recently pursuing also started to spread.

Fortunately, Shi Yaoguang didn’t mix in that circle, so no matter how many rumors there were, they couldn’t reach her ears.

Even so, Shi Yaoguang was very considerate and conveyed her thoughts to Fan Yanshu.

"Fan Shao, do you feel it’s troublesome being friends with me? If you think so, I can actually keep my distance from you consciously; what do you say?"

Fan Yanshu hadn’t received the jewelry yet and became anxious when he heard her words, "What’s gotten into you now?"

His tone was thick with impatience.

Shi Yaoguang wasn’t about to humor him, immediately whimpering, "Fan Shao, do you find me annoying? Are you ignoring me? If you find me irritating, you can tell me directly. Don’t worry, I definitely won’t pester you, I’m aware of myself..."

Listening to her endless babbling, Fan Yanshu really wanted to shout.

Get lost!!

But he couldn’t.

His mission in this world was to court Shi Yaoguang.

If he couldn’t woo her, then the System would unbind from him.

Detaching from the System was basically equivalent to dying on the spot.

If it weren’t for that figurative sword hanging over his head, he wouldn’t have to demean himself like this.

Shi Yaoguang deliberately reminded him in a pitched voice, "I’m about to go to that banquet, and I don’t have any suitable jewelry to wear, it’s so upsetting..."

Fan Yanshu: "..."

Sister, you couldn’t be any more blatant in asking!

In his eyes, Shi Yaoguang had gone from a goddess-level figure to a shameless, pretentious, and scheming green tea bitch.

Green tea is one thing, but she’s precisely a fake green tea bitch without the slightest grasp of what it means to be a green tea bitch!

A green tea bitch is called that because they make people feel comfortable and pleasant!

And Shi Yaoguang?

All she does is ask for things, always asking for things!

Without any input, she expects to reap bountifully.

That’s just too much!

In short, he was genuinely angry.

Yet with just one sentence, Shi Yaoguang made him obediently offer up the jewelry.

Because...

She said.

"It’s okay if you don’t have the time, Fan Shao. It just so happens that Mr. Cheng said he has jewelry that would suit me. I’ve already seen it, and although it’s not Eternal Starlight, the quality is still very good, and I really like it."

Fan Yanshu: "..."

Now that she had put it that way, if he didn’t respond, wouldn’t he be allowing the mission to fail?

Thinking that, he gritted his molars and said, "Yaoguang, what are you talking about? I sincerely consider you a friend. The Eternal Starlight will soon be mine, and then I’ll give it to you."

"Ah?" Shi Yaoguang feigned refusal, "Isn’t that a bit much? Although we’re friends, your gift is too luxurious."

Fan Yanshu: "..."

If you know the gift is luxurious, have the decency not to bring it up.

But you’ve already asked indirectly, so why are you still pretending here!!

Shi Yaoguang, seemingly unaware of how annoying her words were, said with a tone of grievance, "I’m not that greedy. After all, no pay, no gain."

Fan Yanshu clenched his teeth, "If you can accept Mr. Cheng’s gift, why can’t you accept mine?"

Shi Yaoguang’s tone was even more innocent, "I didn’t accept his gift. Even though he really wants to be friends with me, he’s not my friend yet."

"I only accept gifts from very close friends."

As she spoke, she made it clear again, "I don’t even know why my friend would give me something so valuable."

"Honestly, it should be the thought that counts, but my friend just likes giving me all kinds of gifts!"

Fan Yanshu: "..."

He had truly, truly, truly never seen someone so shameless!

How did Shi Yaoguang manage it, using such an innocent tone to wheedle benefits?

Was it possible that her success today was all because of her shamelessness?

Shi Yaoguang didn’t care at all about how the other person was internally criticizing her.

As long as she achieved her goal, that was enough.

...

Fan Yanshu was unwilling to tell others about his endeavor to pursue Shi Yaoguang.

It was true that the original host was quite promiscuous, having dabbled with various girls.

But he still had reservations when it came to other men’s wives.

Knowing full well that Shi Yaoguang was married, he still went after her; to speak of it would invite ridicule.

Even if many netizens would joke in certain contexts, saying something like "Am I any different from that Cao thief?"

But that was just a joke.

If such a thing really happened, it would be very different from a joke in nature.

Yet.

Fan Yanshu made a big show of buying the Eternal Starlight, and Shi Yaoguang wore it to a party afterwards.

The news quickly reached the ears of those who were interested.

The Fan Family.

Fan Yanshu received a summons from his home at the first instance.

His mother was livid, "Fan Yanshu, give me a straight answer, who did you give the Eternal Starlight to?"

Fan Yanshu knew he could not conceal it and had no choice but to say, "You already know, it was given to Shi Yaoguang."

"Shi Yaoguang? Do you not realize she has another identity as Mrs. Quan!" Fan’s mother spoke harshly.

Fan Yanshu certainly knew, and if possible, he would have preferred to pursue a single woman, not a married one!

But he had no other choice.

After all, the mission assigned by the System wasn’t something he could interfere with.

Knowing how the System had arranged it, what could he do about it?

Because of this unmentionable dilemma, even if his mother objected, he could only persist with his head down.

Seeing no way to persuade her son, Fan’s mother simply put forth an ultimatum.

If Fan Yanshu continued to be entangled with Shi Yaoguang, she would disown him as her son!

Fan Yanshu didn’t expect his mother to react so strongly, "Mom, love cannot be controlled. I don’t know why I’ve fallen for Shi Yaoguang, but I can’t help myself, my love for her is real..."

Fan’s mother scoffed, "Love? Does love allow you to disregard ethics and morality?"

"If Shi Yaoguang were single, or even divorced, I would not stop you, but she is still married! Do you realize how despicable it is to covet another man’s wife?"

Fan Yanshu hung his head low, yet did not concede, "How can this be considered coveting another man’s wife? I don’t intend to have any over-the-line relationship with her, and even if I did, I would wait until she’s divorced."
