After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 791: When Does the Prop Take Effect?

Chapter 791: Chapter 791: When Does the Prop Take Effect?

Fan Yanshu saw that Shi Yaoguang had not understood his words but far from being impatient, he felt an even greater sense of superiority.

No matter how formidable Shi Yaoguang was or how famous she had become, what did it matter in the end?

She was still just an ordinary person.

She didn’t even have the privilege to know about the existence of the System!

With that thought, he felt even more complacent.

His gaze upon her was full of disdain.

Seeing Fan Yanshu’s self-satisfied expression, Shi Yaoguang looked perplexed, "Fan Shao, what are you feeling so smug about now?"

Fan Yanshu lifted his chin, his expression haughty, "Of course you don’t know what I’m thinking. With your level, you’re not qualified to know what’s on my mind."

Shi Yaoguang pursed her lips indifferently, "If I don’t know, why don’t you just tell me, and then I will?"

"Why should I tell you?" Fan Yanshu, thinking about how he could use props to conquer Shi Yaoguang, couldn’t be bothered to waste time acting with her.

He wanted to make Shi Yaoguang understand how much he despised her.

With the props, even if Shi Yaoguang knew he didn’t like her, she couldn’t show any dissatisfaction.

Not only that, she had to obey him completely.

Thinking about this, he felt an overwhelming surge of excitement.

His look at her was even more scornful, even more unrestrained.

Shi Yaoguang seemed frightened by his drastically different attitude, and she took a subconscious step back, speaking weakly, "Don’t mess around! I’m Mrs. Quan, I’m also the Best Actress! If you dare to lay a hand on me, no one will let you off the hook."

Shi Yaoguang knew that even though she had a reputation, the number of people who truly believed in her talent was limited.

Thus, she could use this to her advantage to breed contempt in Fan Yanshu towards her.

Fan Yanshu didn’t disappoint her expectations.

He immediately made his disdain crystal clear.

"Who do you think you are? Just a Best Actress, do you really think I would be afraid of you?"

Fan Yanshu didn’t hesitate to voice his thoughts, "If I wanted to, I could make anyone a Best Actress. It’s just manipulation by capital. Otherwise, do you think you could become Best Actress in just a year on your own? Don’t take everyone for fools!"

"Also, about that so-called Yaoguang Flower the research institute mentioned, wasn’t that just you taking credit for someone else’s work? The Yaoguang Flower might well be cultivated in a lab, and they just said you found it to make you famous. Everyone’s been kept in the dark now. Do you think you’re very capable?"

"Every time someone praises you, you’re laughing at how foolish they are inside, even feeling proud about it, aren’t you?"

Shi Yaoguang’s face showed a wronged expression, as if she couldn’t understand why he saw her in such light, tears hung in her eyes, her aggrieved look was truly pitiful.

Too bad.

Fan Yanshu felt he wasn’t one to pity and spare women.

He didn’t feel sorry for Shi Yaoguang at all.

On the contrary, he felt a strong aversion towards her.

Looking at her, he couldn’t help but roll his eyes, "I’m not one of your admirers. I won’t be moved by your tears, so I advise you not to act in front of me. It’s useless."

"What do you mean, what does it mean that you’re not one of my admirers? What are you, if not my admirer?"

"Weren’t all your actions before just you pursuing me?"

Shi Yaoguang, like a woman scorned, couldn’t help but vent the bitterness in her heart.

As if he had caught her in a trap, Fan Yanshu sneered, "You’ve admitted it!"

"What did I admit?"

"You knew I was pursuing you and still denied it before!"

Hearing this, Shi Yaoguang’s gaze shifted guiltily away.

After a moment, she proclaimed boldly, "So what if I knew? Wasn’t chasing me your own choice? Since it was voluntary, why shouldn’t I enjoy your pursuit?"

Fan Yanshu retorted sardonically, "You are a married woman!"

"I am a married woman, that’s true, but..." Shi Yaoguang’s face showed an accusatory expression, "but pursuing me was your own initiative! It’s not like I forced you to do so."

As she spoke, she cradled her face, with a tone full of contemplation, "You chase me because I am outstanding; I couldn’t possibly reject you. Isn’t that quite normal?"

"Couldn’t possibly reject me?" Fan Yanshu laughed as if he’d heard a joke, "I’m simply pursuing you, I’m not holding a knife to your throat. How could you not reject me?"

His words fired back Shi Yaoguang’s previous interrogation.

Shi Yaoguang pouted, her tone slightly aggrieved, "You didn’t threaten me with a knife, but I don’t have the heart to do so!"

"What if, because of my rejection, you lose hope in life and choose to take your own life? What then? Won’t I constantly feel guilty about having rejected you before?"

Fan Yanshu: "..."

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind.

This woman, she’s so damn shameless!

No sooner had he cursed inwardly, than he heard her continue, "Being soft-hearted is just one aspect. If I refuse you and you commit suicide, then I’ll feel guilty."

"But if you, because of my rejection, turn love into hate and seek to kill me, then wouldn’t I have nowhere to cry?"

The thought alone made her shudder.

Quickly, she looked at him with frightened eyes, her voice trembling, "You, you wouldn’t happen to have turned love into hate for me, right?"

Fan Yanshu: "..."

Although it wasn’t exactly as she had imagined, there seemed to be a grain of truth in what she said.

With that in mind, his gaze towards Shi Yaoguang became somewhat evasive.

Seeing his expression, Shi Yaoguang’s tears dropped pitter-patter, like pearls slipping off a string, one after another.

Fan Yanshu, watching her like this, wasn’t entirely unmoved deep down.

However, he was, after all, a Conqueror.

Shi Yaoguang’s beauty was indeed the pinnacle among all the beautiful women he had seen.

But even the most beautiful woman couldn’t sway his resolute heart.

The existence of a woman would only slow down the speed at which he drew his sword.

"Don’t think your crying will be of any use; I’m telling you, even if you die crying here, I won’t be moved!"

Fan Yanshu spoke coldly, "Today, I’m going to show you the consequences of not listening to me."

"Wait a minute." Shi Yaoguang pursed her lips, cautiously asking, "When have I ever not listened to you?"

"Although you haven’t succeeded in pursuing me, we’ve become friends, haven’t we? If you feel being only friends isn’t enough, we can continue to discuss it, right? Why do you feel the need to bring things to such a destructive end?"

"Who’s talking about a destructive end with you?" Fan Yanshu rolled his eyes, a mocking curve appearing at the corner of his mouth, "I’ll show you soon enough what strength really is!"

Having said that, he called out to System in his mind, "System, when will the item take effect?"
