After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 769: On Being Shameless...

Chapter 769: Chapter 769: On Being Shameless...

"Wait for her to divorce?"

Mrs. Fan’s face revealed disdain. "Has she already promised herself to you? Has she told you that she’ll divorce her current husband?"

Fan Yanshu’s face was awkward. "Not yet, but I believe..."

"Since she hasn’t, what makes you so confident in your beliefs?"

As she spoke, she scoffed, "What? Lost for words now?"

"There’s not even the start of a connection between you and Shi Yaoguang, and yet you eagerly dish out all your assets for gifts, ending up with nothing. Does that make you happy?"

Fan Yanshu: "..."

He lowered his head, speaking in a defeated tone, "I don’t want this either, but I can’t control myself."

"I know I shouldn’t have fallen for her, but love arises unexpectedly, growing ever deeper... Mom, you must have experienced this feeling when you were young. You can understand me, right?"

Mrs. Fan sneered, "Love arises unexpectedly, growing ever deeper?"

"I never would have guessed you’re quite the romantic!"

With that, she rolled her eyes, "You probably don’t know, but your father said this exact phrase when he was having an affair."

Upon hearing this, a look of astonishment crossed Fan Yanshu’s face.

What does it mean that his father had said such things?

Seeing Mrs. Fan’s angry expression, could it be...?

That she had also experienced something like this?

Just as he was thinking, Mrs. Fan said, "Back then, your father also fancied a married woman, just like you."

"He was slightly better than you, though; when he said those words to me, his mistress appeared before me alongside him."

"But you—"

She spoke with utter contempt, "You haven’t even managed to secure that woman yet."

Fan Yanshu: "..."

That hit right in the heart.

Mrs. Fan continued to mock, "You gave her the Eternal Starlight, but to her, it might just be a drop in the bucket. Even if you give more, she might not even look your way."

"What do you think is devotion? Mutual love, that’s what devotion is! What you’re doing is at best being a ’lickdog’."

Fan Yanshu: "..."

Truly his own mother.

Sparing no hesitation when it came to insults.

...

Shi Yaoguang had no idea that because of her, Fan Yanshu was being ridiculed by his own mother.

After receiving the Eternal Star System from Fan Yanshu, she could have kept it hidden, keeping it a secret from the outside world.

But when she attended the banquet, she still wore it.

What she wanted was an attitude.

While Fan Yanshu was being mocked, Quan Jinbei also suffered an unexpected misfortune.

Among those who attended the banquet on the same day were people from the Fan Family circle.

The CEO, who had heard from his wife about Fan Yanshu paying a high price for the Eternal Star System, had some thoughts when he saw Shi Yaoguang wearing it that day.

Even among the wealthy, the value of the Eternal Starlight was quite significant.

If it were bought by a family member for their private collection, that could be understood.

But giving it directly to someone else’s wife, that raised intriguing questions.

Indeed, those bold enough teased Quan Jinbei directly.

"Mr. Quan, the Eternal Star System jewelry has been quite popular lately... Mrs. Quan does look beautiful wearing it, but I wonder..." The speaker glanced at the top of Quan Jinbei’s head, the insinuation quite clear.

Quan Jinbei: "..."

He praised Shi Yaoguang for getting back at Fan Yanshu, who was foolishly trying to woo her.

But.

If her revenge was to involve her own marital happiness.

She couldn’t tolerate even the appearance of her marital happiness being compromised.

That thought made him regret a bit.

To him, Fan Yanshu was as insignificant as a tiny ant.

Having Shi Yaoguang personally intervene was indeed using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt he had lost out.

He couldn’t help wanting to talk to Shi Yaoguang and suggest there was no need for her to take action herself.

"Wifey~" After leaving the banquet, Quan Jinbei couldn’t wait to get close to Shi Yaoguang, puckering his lips and showing a pitiful expression.

It must be said, despite his strong features, he still looked remarkably effective when pulling off a pitiful look.

This was something Quan Jinbei had actually practiced in front of a mirror.

"Someone just laughed at me."

Quan Jinbei puffed up his cheeks; although he still looked handsome, there was something comically silly about it.

Not able to hold back, Shi Yaoguang burst into laughter, "Third Master, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at by others like this?"

"Who would laugh at me?" Quan Jinbei said nonchalantly.

Shi Yaoguang immediately nodded, her gaze mocking as she looked at him, "It seems that you don’t care if others laugh at you."

Saying that, she added, "So what was your grievance just now?"

Becoming belatedly aware, Quan Jinbei remembered he had just been telling Shi Yaoguang about his grievances.

Turning around and saying he was not afraid of being ridiculed, he was backpedaling a bit too quickly.

Awkwardly clearing his throat, he spoke seriously, "I feel aggrieved, I need my wife to coo over me to feel better!"

Shi Yaoguang rolled her eyes, "Who did you learn this from? Don’t you care about your image?"

"What need for image in front of you?"

Third Master Quan overbearingly declared that image, or anything of that sort, didn’t matter at all.

The wife was what mattered most.

Quan Jinbei took the opportunity to share the grievances he had just suffered with her, "Just now, that old man unsuccessful in love laughed at me. He said that as your husband, you still wear jewelry gifted by another man. He even looked at my head! He was clearly mocking the color of my hair!"

Shi Yaoguang gave him a sideways glance, "Is the color of your hair normal?"

Quan Jinbei straightened his back, "Absolutely normal!"

"Then you have nothing to feel aggrieved about," Shi Yaoguang remarked as she sighed, "Young people always have to endure all kinds of strange looks, don’t you think so?"

Quan Jinbei pursed his lips, "Then can I stick with you?"

"How to stick together?" Shi Yaoguang’s mouth twitched slightly, not quite understanding his train of thought.

Quan Jinbei put on a serious face, "Next time, take me with you to meet Fan Yanshu."

Shi Yaoguang blinked her eyes, "Aren’t you afraid that people will say that not only do I not stop when I’m flirting with other men, but I also cling to you like a pretty boy?"

"What’s wrong with being a pretty boy?"

Quan Jinbei nonchalantly said, "There are many who want to be your pretty boy; it’s my honor to be seen as yours."

Shi Yaoguang: "..."

When it comes to shamelessness, she still couldn’t outdo Quan Jinbei.

Quan Jinbei was unashamed, "Being labeled as your pretty boy is far better than having people gossip about our marriage being in trouble, that you need to seek outside conquests to compensate."

After giving it some thought, Shi Yaoguang couldn’t come up with a rebuttal.

Following this incident, when Fan Yanshu met Shi Yaoguang again, there was an additional human accessory by her side – Quan Jinbei.

He looked at the large, impossible-to-ignore man next to her, and his expression showed a crack.

Pointing at Quan Jinbei, he turned to Shi Yaoguang, his tone puzzled, "Yaoguang, why did you bring him out?"

Quan Jinbei turned drama queen, acting like a small demon that only knew how to vie for favor, he wrapped his arms around Shi Yaoguang’s waist, his voice even more overbearing, "I’m her man, is there a problem with me following by her side?"
