Chapter 250: Chapter 250 I’m Delighted, I Like It Very Much"Could it be that the Third Master has taken a liking to me?" As soon as Shi Yaoguang finished speaking, she heard the man’s soft chuckle. "What is the Third Master laughing at?" When she didn’t hear a response for a while, she couldn’t help but look up at him. The moment she looked up, she met his smiling, exquisitely handsome phoenix eyes. There was no doubt that Quan Jinbei was very attractive. His face, with not a single unrefined feature, was perfect. Especially those cold phoenix eyes of his, that made one feel observed by a lofty deity with just one glance. His distant and cold demeanor goes without saying. It was only because Shi Yaoguang had experienced much of the world that she wasn’t affected. Otherwise, she really might not have been able to withstand his icy gaze. But now... In his eyes, not a trace of coldness could be seen. His eyes were filled with her reflection. And, an unconcealed mirth. For the first time, Shi Yaoguang felt her face grow hot. She fanned herself with her hand, muttering, "It’s really hot today." The man chuckled again, mercilessly exposing her, "The indoor temperature isn’t even above twenty degrees." In other words, she couldn’t possibly be feeling hot. Shi Yaoguang coughed awkwardly, "I... I might have a problem with my senses..." Quan Jinbei placed his hand on her shoulder, his tone low, "Don’t you want to know if I have taken a liking to you?" Shi Yaoguang coughed forcefully as if she were choking, "Cough...Actually, I don’t really want to know." "Third Master, let’s pretend I just let one—" Quan Jinbei stretched out his hand, covering her mouth, not allowing her to finish her sentence. Shi Yaoguang widened her eyes, making muffled sounds as if trying to say something. Quan Jinbei, ignoring her struggle, slowly said, "You guessed right." "Hm?" "I have taken a liking to you." "What?" Shi Yaoguang couldn’t believe when he had let go of her, she looked at him in shock, "What did you just say?" Quan Jinbei spoke with certainty, his tone leaving no room for doubt, "I said, I have been captivated by your beauty." "My heart is delighted; I like you very much." As he spoke, he took her hand and placed it on his chest where his heartbeat had quickened. Shi Yaoguang recoiled as if burned, quickly withdrawing her hand. She didn’t even dare look at his expression and ran off with her face red. Quan Jinbei watched her retreating figure, laughing very pleasedly. ... Shi Yaoguang ran straight to her room and locked the door firmly. It took her a long time to calm down. Splashing her cheeks with cold water, she looked at her blushing reflection in the mirror, a trace of horror appearing in her eyes. The girl in the mirror... Was that her? This girl, who couldn’t contain her shyness—was that her? She had an absurd feeling of being struck by lightning. While she questioned herself, a voice within told her it was indeed so. Yes, that was her. She was the one blushing and shy because Quan Jinbei said he liked her. "How is this even possible..." Shi Yaoguang couldn’t help but mutter to herself. She truly couldn’t believe she had turned out this way. Similarly, she couldn’t believe that Quan Jinbei would harbor such thoughts about her. It wasn’t a matter of her feeling inferior, thinking Quan Jinbei couldn’t possibly be interested in her. It was just that... Unexpected! Yes, it was too unexpected. Upon careful reflection, she couldn’t recall any particular signs of affection from Quan Jinbei towards her in her memory. It seemed like he had suddenly taken a liking to her. Such feelings seemed somewhat ephemeral. Shi Yaoguang was lost in thought; she hadn’t even responded to his feelings yet and there she was, already worrying about it. She gave herself a wry smile, turned off the tap, and wiped the droplets of water off her face, ready to go out and have a serious talk with him. She wasn’t someone who liked to evade things. If there’s an issue, it’s best to address it immediately. Thinking this, she walked over to Quan Jinbei’s room. His door was not closed. Shi Yaoguang pushed the door open and went in. At the moment, Quan Jinbei was standing on the balcony, leaning on the railing with both hands, gazing at the sky. That gesture of his... Shi Yaoguang’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. Before she could think further, she saw Quan Jinbei suddenly turn around and look back. "You’re here." Quan Jinbei greeted her casually, as if everything that had just happened did not exist. His attitude left Shi Yaoguang somewhat dumbfounded. Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Seeing her standing there in a daze, Quan Jinbei let out a light chuckle, "What’s wrong?" "No, nothing." Shi Yaoguang waved her hand, "I’ll go back to practice." Quan Jinbei watched her for a while before finally saying, "Alright." With his response, Shi Yaoguang immediately turned and left. The urgent stride of her retreating figure seemed somewhat like fleeing in panic. ... Little did she know, watching her back, Quan Jinbei’s mood was not calm either. He didn’t know when he’d started to have those thoughts about her. But... Love is something that starts without knowing why, and before you know it, it runs deep. Perhaps it started with that dream. Or maybe even earlier. When the little girl confidently appeared before him, telling him she could cure him. When she told him she wanted to be the mother of his child... Quan Jinbei couldn’t help but smile as he reminisced about the past. The butler, carrying desserts in, almost spilled the tray when he saw his smile. He blinked hard. He couldn’t have seen that wrong, right? Did the Third Master just... smile? No, no, no, that’s impossible! The butler barely convinced himself when he looked up again to meet the corners of Quan Jinbei’s still smiling lips. He stopped short once more. "Third Master, are you alright?" He put the tray down on the table and quickly walked over to Quan Jinbei, full of concern. Quan Jinbei shook his head, "I’m fine." "But..." the butler was still not reassured. This didn’t look like someone who was fine at all. Quan Jinbei knew what he was thinking and said directly, "I told the madam that I like her." "Oh, so that’s..." The butler responded subconsciously, then his eyes widened in disbelief mid-sentence, "What did you say?" Quan Jinbei, in good humor, repeated what he had said. The butler looked shocked, "You actually confessed to the madam?" "Yes." Quan Jinbei nodded, "Is there a problem?" "No, no problem..." he waved his hand, still in a daze, "I thought you..." Quan Jinbei raised an eyebrow, "Thought what?" "Nothing, nothing!" The butler certainly wouldn’t speak his thoughts aloud. Right now, he was especially eager for some gossip. What exactly happened between the Third Master and the madam? How could the world change so drastically in the blink of an eye? ... Shi Yaoguang was harboring the same thoughts as the butler. Yeah, how did this world suddenly change? She really couldn’t accept this change... Here, Shi Yaoguang was troubled by emotions. On the other hand, Shi Yiqing was not faring any better. Her relationship with Quan Sicheng had hit a rough patch. And that had to start with Leng Yuchen. Quan Sicheng had felt something was amiss when he overheard Shi Yiqing on the phone with Leng Yuchen last time. After that...
