Chapter 785: Chapter 785: Surely It Can’t Be That He’s Taken a Fancy to You

Quan Feifei kept her hand behind her back the whole time, a gesture that suggested she was holding something.

She wanted to take this opportunity to attack him, which would be easy.

Upon this thought, Quan Jinbei narrowed his eyes and subtly harnessed his spiritual energy.

No matter what tricks Quan Feifei had up her sleeve, they were nothing in the face of absolute power.

Fortunate for Quan Jinbei, he was prepared.

Quan Feifei seized her chance and stretched out the hand that had been hidden behind her back, tossing a handful of powder at Quan Jinbei.

Quan Jinbei instinctively held his breath and let his spiritual energy run wild, purifying all of the powder in the air.

He also kept some of it in the Space Button.

He would check later to see what Quan Feifei had thrown.

Quan Feifei’s original plan was simple: once Quan Jinbei was affected by the drug, his primal instincts would take over, and he would pounce on her.

Nothing was more addictive than the pleasures of the flesh.

She had been with a few men and had learned of her strengths from their accounts.

She was naturally gifted with what was known in legends as a precious vessel!

Under such circumstances, any man who touched her would become helpless with desire.

And she wasn’t shy about pandering to them.

As long as she was willing, no man could escape her control!

But things hadn’t gone according to plan.

Quan Jinbei had simply dispersed the powder.

She didn’t know how Quan Jinbei did it, but at that moment, she felt only one thing.

Trouble!

Her idea was to be with Quan Jinbei and achieve great harmony together.

So, when she scattered the powder, she took no precautions for herself.

Now, Quan Jinbei hadn’t been affected by the drug.

But she had inhaled the powder.

This powder was overwhelmingly potent; even a tiny amount would have an immediate effect.

Within seconds, she felt her body growing hot.

Her gaze at Quan Jinbei also took on an added fervor.

Quan Jinbei saw the expression on her face and knew exactly what the powder was, then he turned and walked away.

Seeing this, Quan Feifei wanted to follow him, but was stopped by the "bang——" of a door closing behind Quan Jinbei.

The door was shut, causing Quan Feifei some panic.

She reached for the doorknob, but it wouldn’t budge an inch.

Her anxiety grew to the point where she began to tear at her clothes in an attempt to cool down.

Her gaze started to become unfocused...

Quan Jinbei left Quan Feifei’s room and headed straight for Shi Yaoguang.

Others might not see it, but Shi Yaoguang noticed at a glance that he was fleeing in disarray.

She asked, amused, "What’s wrong, Third Master? Did someone almost..."

She stopped mid-sentence and wrinkled her nose, "What’s that strange smell?"

While speaking, her suspicious eyes fell on Quan Jinbei and directly met his helpless gaze.

Shi Yaoguang’s lips twitched, "Did someone really try to force themselves on you?"

Quan Jinbei corrected her, "Someone wanted me to force myself on them."

Shi Yaoguang: "..."

Was it necessary to delve into such a nuanced difference?

She silently criticized him in her mind, then continued the previous conversation.

"So what’s really going on with Quan Feifei?"

"Exactly what you’re thinking," Quan Jinbei previously wasn’t sure, but from the drug powder that Quan Feifei had thrown, he could almost confirm that there was indeed something strange about her.

Normally, the effects of a drug don’t take hold that quickly.

Moreover, the dosage of a drug must also be carefully considered. It’s impossible to use an excessively concentrated dose, otherwise...

The result achieved by the drug wouldn’t be rapid effectiveness, but directly taking someone’s life.

Shi Yaoguang, of course, knew this. "Since she was able to get her hands on something like that, it indicates that she has a channel for it, but... what does she want to do by drugging you?"

"It can’t possibly be that she has taken a fancy to you and wants to have a brief fling, right?"

Quan Jinbei glanced at her and closed himself off, not wanting to speak.

Shi Yaoguang looked at him with a smile, "It’s a reasonable analysis. Although, my husband, you are indeed very charming, charm doesn’t put food on the table, does it?"

"Quan Feifei isn’t brainless. Knowing that she’s the daughter of your uncle, she couldn’t possibly aspire to be your mistress, right?"

With the rare opportunity to achieve a class leap at her fingertips, Quan Feifei would not be so foolish as to forego the chance to rehabilitate herself and instead choose to continue capitalizing on her past profession.

Yes.

Being Quan Jinbei’s mistress certainly has its benefits.

But for Quan Feifei, with her previous status, it was impossible.

It was only by riding on Quan Chengyi’s coattails that she got such a stepping stone.

However...

As long as she was a sensible person with a brain, she should have known how much of a loss this would be.

Originally, she could have been a rich man’s daughter, living a secure life.

Given Quan Chengyi’s compensatory attitude toward her, even if she stayed unmarried, she could live a good life.

With such good circumstances, she wouldn’t fail to appreciate them and insist on being someone’s mistress, right?

That’s what Shi Yaoguang thought, and so did Quan Feifei.

Except, there were some differences in the details.

Shi Yaoguang thought that she couldn’t be so foolish as to go from being Mr. Pang’s mistress to Quan Jinbei’s mistress.

Quan Feifei, on the other hand, didn’t want to be content with just being a mistress, so she was looking for ways to climb higher.

The best way was to force the issue with children in tow.

This difference in mindset was why Shi Yaoguang didn’t think of this.

However, in the near future, learning that Quan Feifei was pregnant with multiples, she began to think along the same lines as Quan Feifei.

...

As Quan Jinbei and Shi Yaoguang were talking, Quan Chengyi walked over.

"Jinbei, have you seen Feifei?"

Having asked this question, he met Shi Yaoguang’s gaze and, feeling a bit guilty, wiped his forehead. "Ah, Yaoguang, don’t get me wrong. Just now, someone saw Jinbei and Feifei together..."

Halfway through, he realized he was saying the wrong thing.

He immediately corrected himself, "I didn’t mean that. Feifei said earlier that she wanted to thank Jinbei for finding her and bringing her back, so she wanted to thank him personally."

After hurriedly explaining, he then turned to Quan Jinbei, "Have you seen Feifei?"

Quan Jinbei nodded with a not-so-great expression on his face.

Quan Chengyi’s heart skipped a beat.

Unsure of what was happening, he anxiously asked, "Did something... happen to Feifei?"

Quan Jinbei hummed in acknowledgment, his expression cold, "Your daughter is upstairs."

"As long as she is upstairs," Quan Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief, but soon his heart was on edge again.

What was Feifei doing upstairs?

How did Jinbei know Feifei was upstairs?

And...

From Feifei’s previous behavior, she didn’t seem like the sort to leave Jinbei and go upstairs to amuse herself.

Could it be...

A bad premonition made Quan Chengyi instinctively cautious. He didn’t ask Quan Jinbei anything further but went upstairs himself to look for Quan Feifei.

Quan Feifei had tried for a long time but couldn’t manage to open the door.

At this moment, she was completely undressed.
