Chapter 279: Chapter 279: Call Your Husband When There’s Trouble, Call Me Third Master When There’s NotThe trip to the Grape Manor brought genuine happiness only to Shi Yaoguang, Quan Jinbei, and Ming Yan. Setting aside Director Xu Qian and the others, Quan Sicheng, Shi Yiqing, and An Siqi truly regretted it until their guts turned green. When An Siqi arrived, she had dreamed of soaring to the branches to become a Phoenix. But when she left, she was not even as good as a wild chicken. Needless to say, Quan Sicheng and Shi Yiqing didn’t fare much better either. "Brother Sicheng!" Shi Yiqing clutched at Quan Sicheng’s sleeve, her tone full of distress, "What if... what Shi Yaoguang said is true? What if... what if she really makes us divorce?" Quan Sicheng took her hand and gently rubbed it, his voice filled with obvious tenderness. "Qingqing, don’t worry about these things, I will handle them." "Handle? How are you going to handle it?" Shi Yiqing bit her lip, her eyes brimming with tears, "She’s clearly targeting me without any shame, what can I do?" As she spoke, she began to cry aloud. "Brother Sicheng, you also face obstacles at every turn in the Quan Family; except for Grandfather Quan who protects you, who else is willing to help you? I really feel so heartbroken for you..." "I wouldn’t mind if I can’t help you, but if you have to worry because of me again, I really..." She covered her chest, her expression as if she was about to faint from suffocation. Quan Sicheng quickly supported her, "Qingqing, don’t get worked up, I will take care of these matters. For you, I am willing to do anything, so please, don’t overthink it, just be good, okay?" Meeting Quan Sicheng’s worried gaze, Shi Yiqing hesitated then nodded: "Alright." Quan Sicheng held her head tenderly, letting her lean on him. Out of his line of sight, Shi Yiqing’s eyes were filled with deep resentment. After a while, as if suddenly thinking of something, she spoke anxiously, "Brother Sicheng, do you think... Shi Yaoguang had planned all along to target us?" "What do you mean by that?" Shi Yiqing was full of anxiety, "I feel like there’s something off about what happened today." Quan Sicheng’s vigilance was aroused, and he looked at her intently. Shi Yiqing said, "Logically speaking, she shouldn’t know where we are." "But today, our whereabouts were exposed. Do you think... it could just be a coincidence that we wanted to come to the Grape Manor and they also happened to want to come?" "And also..." Shi Yiqing bit her lip, hesitated for a good while before saying, "After she got your phone, how did she find those photos?" When she asked this, she intentionally avoided touching on points that might anger Quan Sicheng, feigning doubt. In truth, she knew that the photos in Quan Sicheng’s phone were originally there, not placed by Shi Yaoguang. No matter what Quan Sicheng’s intentions were, his act of secretly taking photos of Shi Yaoguang was an indisputable fact. Shi Yiqing couldn’t help but suspect that Quan Sicheng still had lingering feelings for Shi Yaoguang. No. It can’t really be said to be lingering feelings. Previously, there wasn’t anything between Quan Sicheng and Shi Yaoguang. But... She didn’t dare gamble on the baser instincts of men. It’s true that Quan Sicheng and Shi Yaoguang had no prior affection, but they did have a marriage agreement once. When Quan Sicheng and Shi Yiqing were affectionate, perhaps he felt relieved to have the marriage agreement dissolved. But as time passed and he recalled these events, he couldn’t help but consider them rationally. Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. And... even idealize hypotheticals. If he hadn’t made the wrong choice back then, a woman as outstanding as Shi Yaoguang would be his wife. With such thoughts, it was not guaranteed that Quan Sicheng wouldn’t make a mistake. In Shi Yiqing’s view, Quan Sicheng’s current act of secretly taking photos of Shi Yaoguang was already very dangerous. Quan Sicheng had no idea that his seemingly gentle fiancée harbored so many twisty thoughts inside. He was still thinking about how to deal with Shi Yaoguang’s request for them to call off the engagement when he got back. ... Different groups went their separate ways. Ming Yan did not follow Shi Yaoguang and Quan Sicheng. Being a top idol, he had his own manager to follow up after his schedule ended. Director Xu Qian and others also had their own destinations, while Shi Yaoguang left with Quan Jinbei. They were the last to leave. Just as the car started, it was blocked by a bloodied person. Shi Yaoguang frowned at the bloodied figure standing in front of them. The Quan Family’s Grape Manor covered a large area, and there was usually no one around. Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be a strange person here... Well, not exactly strange; this person seemed coherent. Shi Yaoguang hesitated for a moment but got out of the car anyway. There was no one else around, and Quan Jinbei didn’t need a wheelchair, so he naturally got out of the car as well. Once they got out, they finally saw the man’s face clearly. The man had a rugged appearance, with a long scar crossing from his forehead over his nose. As Shi Yaoguang sized him up, he was doing the same to her. "Help, help me..." After leaving those words, the man fainted. Shi Yaoguang turned to Quan Jinbei, "What do we do now?" Quan Jinbei: "Save him." Shi Yaoguang: "How do you know he’s someone we should save?" Quan Jinbei stared at her for two seconds, then seeing that she truly didn’t recognize the man in front of them, he suddenly curved his lips into a smile. "He is Leng Qianchen." Shi Yaoguang was quite surprised, "He is Leng Qianchen?" Quan Jinbei nodded and, seeing the expression on her face, deliberately asked, "Why, are you satisfied with his looks?" Shi Yaoguang elegantly rolled her eyes, "Bringing this up is pointless, Brother Sicheng. There’s only one deal in my life that could convince me to commit myself, so you don’t have to worry about these things." Quan Jinbei was very pleased with her answer and immediately said, "Since that’s what you think, I’ll save this man for you." Shi Yaoguang scrutinized his microexpression to confirm he wasn’t joking, smiled, and said, "Then thank you, Brother Sicheng." Quan Jinbei snorted softly, "When you need help, it’s ’husband,’ but when there’s no trouble, it’s ’Brother Sicheng.’ You really are something." Shi Yaoguang simply smiled without saying a word, with no intention of changing what she called him. Seeing her like this, Quan Jinbei sighed softly, "Well, we have all the time in the world." Hearing this, Shi Yaoguang suddenly thought of a joke she had heard, and with a smile, she asked, "Who’s Fang Chang?" Quan Jinbei: "Hmm?" Shi Yaoguang squinted her eyes, "If you ask me to meet ’Fang Chang’ tomorrow, I should at least know who Fang Chang is before I go." Quan Jinbei, slowly catching on to her meaning: "..." He looked at her, at a loss for words, "Why are you like this?" Shi Yaoguang blinked, looking very innocent, "What did I do?" Quan Jinbei, holding his forehead: "Nothing, let’s just get Leng Qianchen to the manor first." Shi Yaoguang expressed some concerns, "If we bring him into the manor, won’t people find out?" After all, Leng Qianchen had disappeared near Grape Manor...
