After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 770: Husband, He Bullied Me

Chapter 770: Chapter 770: Husband, He Bullied Me

I’m her man.

And...

She’s my woman.

Although the meaning is the same, the implications are somewhat different.

The former represents Quan Jinbei’s indulgence towards her.

The latter, however, carries the flavor of a domineering declaration.

But no matter which one it was, neither was what he wanted to see.

After all...

His goal was to win over Shi Yaoguang.

He wanted to win over Shi Yaoguang, yet Shi Yaoguang’s man was right beside her, what was going with that?

Shi Yaoguang was shameless, she could ignore the awkwardness, could Quan Jinbei really act as if nothing had happened?

This was simply... shocking!

Since when could the rightful partner and the one ready to steal someone’s love interest coexist peacefully?

At least, he didn’t believe that he could tolerate his wife being overly friendly with another man outside.

Even if it was a business marriage, even if there was no love involved.

Even if it was an agreement between wealthy spouses to lead separate lives.

There still had to be a semblance of decorum.

Like Shi Yaoguang, to bluntly gather her husband and the male third wheel together, was truly bizarre.

However, he soon realized why this was the case.

Perhaps...

The fundamental reason Shi Yaoguang dared to do this was that she didn’t see anything wrong with it.

In her eyes, Fan Yanshu was just a big sucker.

A sucker who had given her exorbitantly priced jewelry.

The existence of such a sucker wouldn’t affect her relationship with her husband at all.

Coming to this realization, Fan Yanshu felt as if he had seen the light.

At the same time, his look towards Quan Jinbei carried a hint of veiled sympathy.

Perhaps his tragedy in life stemmed from falling in love with a wild horse.

Quan Jinbei caught his sympathetic gaze and raised an eyebrow, "What’s that look for?"

Fan Yanshu shut his eyes tight and bit his teeth, ready to go all in.

"What expression? I want to ask you! Don’t you know what relation I have with Yaoguang? I hardly get to see Yaoguang, why do you have to get in the middle of us?"

Having said that, he looked at Shi Yaoguang with a grievance-filled expression, "Yaoguang, tell me why he’s monitoring you so closely? He couldn’t be completely distrustful of you, could he?"

Quan Jinbei watched his brazen appeal to Shi Yaoguang and didn’t get angry but only scoffed coldly.

"Wife, what’s your relationship with him? Why is he saying things like that? Is he trying to make me misunderstand you on purpose?"

"What good would it do him to make me misunderstand you?" Quan Jinbei said, his aura emanating, "Is he doing this on purpose, hoping to stir trouble between us so he can step in and take your place?"

Shi Yaoguang quickly shook her head in denial, "Of course not!"

"Really?" Quan Jinbei had not heard the soul-searching questions Shi Yaoguang had asked Quan Jinbei directly, but he had learned her essence perfectly.

Fan Yanshu felt as though he and Shi Yaoguang were overlapping when he heard Quan Jinbei’s question.

Even when he came back to his senses, looking at the couple, he still had that illusion.

Were this couple demons?

Looking at the unsmiling Quan Jinbei, he finally recalled a crucial question.

That was...

Why was he not bothered by his existence?

As a man, he didn’t believe Quan Jinbei couldn’t see through his intentions.

Since Quan Jinbei knew full well that he stayed by Shi Yaoguang’s side with ill intent,

then why didn’t he stop him?

Did he genuinely have no feelings for Shi Yaoguang, or was there another motive?

In an instant, Fan Yanshu initiated a brainstorm.

He looked at Quan Jinbei with a bit more suspicion, as if guarding against a thief.

Quan Jinbei didn’t mind being watched; being scrutinized wouldn’t cause him to lose any flesh.

Instead, it was Fan Yanshu who couldn’t hold back any longer, and he directly asked, "She’s messing around behind your back, and you don’t care at all?"

As soon as these words fell, before Quan Jinbei could react, Shi Yaoguang looked at him with a look of disbelief. "What are you talking about? What messing around?"

As she spoke, she squeezed out two crocodile tears, "So in your eyes, I’m that kind of person? And I thought of you as a friend too!"

Quan Jinbei then joined in scolding him, "What’s wrong with you? It’s an honor for Yaoguang to be willing to be your friend, and you dare to accuse her of messing around! If that’s how you see her, why bother being friends with her at all?"

Fan Yanshu was truly distressed; that’s why he blurted out the accusations he had been keeping inside.

Once the words came out, he immediately regretted it.

But now, hearing Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei’s words, he really wished he could just die right there.

Why did his "System" require him to pursue such an odd couple?

What on earth had he done wrong?

"Officer, when will you come to take me away in handcuffs?"

He really would rather be punished by the forces of justice than continue with this pursuit.

It’s just too difficult!

Quan Jinbei, looking at his breaking-down expression, said in a deep voice, "The things you said earlier, was it just to provoke me?

"My wife is the best woman in the world, and it’s her freedom to make friends with whomever she wishes. Using phrases like ’messing around’ to describe her, do you actually look down on her from the bottom of your heart?"

Believe it or not, that was actually true!

Fan Yanshu almost admitted it on the spot.

But he couldn’t.

He still remembered his mission; he must not reveal his true thoughts before he successfully completed his pursuit.

That’s what he believed, but it did not mean Shi Yaoguang would cooperate.

Shi Yaoguang still wore the expression of having suffered a great injury.

Looking at him, her eyes carried an additional hint of grievance.

"I always thought you saw me as a friend, and I felt the same way."

"But I never expected that you would think I was messing around! Are you also trying to say that I’m a promiscuous woman?"

Fan Yanshu: "...I didn’t mean that."

Even though that was indeed what he believed in his heart, he would never admit it.

All the words he wanted to say condensed into one phrase...

Pursuit target!

Yes, because Shi Yaoguang was his pursuit target, no matter how difficult it was to placate her, he must do it properly.

However, Shi Yaoguang was no longer willing to believe him.

She appeared as if her heart had been completely broken by Fan Yanshu, a sorrowful look on her face, "I knew it, you never truly loved me!"

Fan Yanshu, hearing this, felt as if he had caught something essential and hurriedly said, "Didn’t you say we were friends? Why should I love you?"

"Can’t there be love between friends? Isn’t friendly love still love? Why do your thoughts have to be so dirty? I always thought you wanted to be friends with me out of pure intentions, but now it seems that’s not the case at all. You’ve really disappointed me!"

Listening to her long ramble, Fan Yanshu felt completely overwhelmed.

"Can you make some sense, please?"

His patience wearing thin due to his foul mood, his tone carried a hint of impatience.

Shi Yaoguang, with her hands on her hips, rebuked, "You’re actually yelling at me! How can you do this? Even Jinbei wouldn’t dare yell at me, yet you’re yelling at me! Do you think too highly of yourself?"

Having said that, she threw herself into Quan Jinbei’s arms, sobbing, "Husband, he’s bullying me!"
