Chapter 788: Chapter 788: As Long as You’re Willing, Master Fan

Quan Chengyi’s explanation was that what Quan Feifei did was indeed excessive – she hadn’t thought it through at all.

Therefore, he had intentionally sent her overseas so that she could learn proper manners and etiquette before considering bringing her back.

During this time, he wanted Quan Feifei to remember this lesson.

Jinbei was noncommittal.

Quan Chengyi’s stance was enough; as for how to deal with Quan Feifei...

In his opinion, Quan Feifei didn’t need any handling at all.

She was capable of running herself into the ground.

...

Actually, the punishment of "exile" was something Quan Feifei herself had suggested.

Quan Chengyi, although disappointed in his daughter, was still influenced by years of guilt.

Even though he was dissatisfied with her actions, when it came time to really do something to her, he couldn’t bring himself to act.

Quan Feifei saw his hesitation and volunteered, "Dad, what happened at the banquet was my fault, but I was just trying to fulfill my own dreams."

"I’m sorry, I didn’t think about the family’s situation at the time and that it would cause you trouble."

"But don’t worry; I will solve the problems I have created myself!"

As she spoke, she suggested her own departure overseas for "exile." "Once I’m gone, he surely won’t dwell on this matter anymore, and you can then mend the relationship with him. I believe that as long as you’re willing, Dad, there’s nothing you can’t do!"

Quan Chengyi, flattered by her compliments and seeing her genuine remorse, relented and agreed to her request.

As a result, after going abroad, Quan Feifei managed to elude the people he had sent to accompany her and escaped on her own.

When Quan Chengyi received a letter from his daughter saying she wanted some time alone to clear her mind, he was concerned only for her safety as a girl alone in a foreign land.

He never considered any other possibilities.

Jinbei and Shi Yaoguang, however, did pay attention.

Both were aware that Quan Feifei had gone missing after going overseas.

Regarding this.

The two shared the same opinion.

Quan Feifei’s departure overseas was a ruse!

Perhaps, she was brewing some grand scheme.

But whether she was or wasn’t, it no longer mattered.

After all, she was abroad and temporarily out of their sight.

...

As for Quan Feifei, once she had arrived in the foreign land, she had shaken off the people Quan Chengyi had arranged to stay by her side, leased an apartment with the money she had, and hired a Filipino maid to care for her properly.

The effects of the Fertility Pills were as good as the System had described.

When the time came to check for the presence of an embryo, she hurried to find out.

After the check-up, she was completely at ease, and spent her days resting in the apartment, nourishing the fetus.

Unbeknownst to her, a new storm was brewing back home...

-

Fan Yanshu, armed with the Strategy System, was shackled by a time limit of half a month.

If he failed to capture Shi Yaoguang’s heart, death was the only outcome awaiting him.

No.

Even death is a delusion.

If he failed to fulfill the mission, he might be completely obliterated.

Although one only has memories of a single lifetime, and who knows whether they’ll become a human or a ghost in the next, there are still fantasies to cling to.

Being suddenly told that one can live only this lifetime and there will be nothing after – who would be content with that?

At the very least, Fan Yanshu was not content.

Initially, he had persuaded himself to continue pursuing Shi Yaoguang.

Who would have thought that Shi Yaoguang would just follow Jinbei to Mingzhu City?

He had no assets or acquaintances in Mingzhu City.

Going there would mean he was completely in the dark.

After careful consideration, he simply gave up.

He stayed put in the Imperial Capital, waiting for Shi Yaoguang to return.

In the meantime, he could take this chance to revise his strategy plan.

Since he had failed to move Shi Yaoguang, he reflected on himself.

Perhaps Shi Yaoguang was different from those gaudy, cheap women.

He had thought that she was a gold-digging socialite.

But after careful thought, he realized no socialite would act like her.

Not to mention being a gold digger.

She had donated so many things with a snap of her fingers.

If it were him, he...

He...

Alright, he wouldn’t donate at all!

His money didn’t just blow in on the wind.

If it wasn’t to win her over, he wouldn’t dream of parting with his money.

If it were about using money to attract a materialistic woman, he might begrudgingly do so.

But knowing that she didn’t give a damn about the money and would just give it away, what’s the difference between that and throwing his hard-earned cash in the streets?

Even when Shi Yaoguang was engaged in charitable deeds, she still mentioned him.

He, Fan Yanshu, simply doesn’t care!

Anybody who donates that much money wants some acknowledgment.

But no matter how indignant or dissatisfied he felt, it was useless.

That woman.

That woman had the knack for it!

Fan Yanshu became angrier as he thought about it.

Finally, he couldn’t hold back anymore.

Outraged, he went directly to find Shi Yaoguang, who had returned from Mingzhu City to the Imperial Capital.

"Yaoguang, you’re finally back!"

As he spoke, his eyes reddened.

Shi Yaoguang took a step back, her face full of disdain. "What kind of man cries like a baby?"

It wasn’t that she despised men who cried.

After all, gender should never define a person.

In her opinion, not every girl needed to like pink.

Not every boy who liked pink was effeminate.

Plus, the term "effeminate" itself carried judgement.

However...

Shi Yaoguang would never share her true thoughts with Fan Yanshu.

Fan Yanshu was different from ordinary people.

"Mr. Fan, don’t tell me you’ve suffered some unspeakable injustice that changed your gender. If that’s the case, then I truly sympathize with you."

With these words, her gaze shifted from his eyes and slowly moved down.

It eventually stopped at a certain height.

With an accompanying "tsk tsk," she shook her head regretfully. "It seems your future partner won’t be able to enjoy your... fertility."

Then, her tone changed, "But that’s not necessarily the case."

As Fan Yanshu heard this, just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she continued: "Even though you can’t use it, others can, right?"

"I believe that as long as you’re willing, Mr. Fan, there are still plenty of people who would want to be your subjects. Don’t you think?"

These words were a blatant insult.

His gaze at Shi Yaoguang seemed as if he wanted to devour her whole.

But Shi Yaoguang, with her utterly serious expression, looked as solemn as could be.

In a battle of wits, he simply could not outsmart Shi Yaoguang, and this he had known for a long time.

It was precisely because of his self-awareness that he did not want to provoke Shi Yaoguang now.

Suppressing the rising anger in his heart, he squeezed out a smile. "Yaoguang, stop joking. I came here today for a serious matter."

At this point, he didn’t mention how much he missed her in the days that she was gone.

Shi Yaoguang’s eyebrows lifted, her eyes appraising him. "What do you want from me, Mr. Fan?"
