"A way out?"
Leng Qianchen’s eyes brightened, "Does Mrs. Quan have a solution?"
Shi Yaoguang: "I can help you, annihilate the Leng Family."
Leng Qianchen heard this but showed little joy on his face.
Shi Yaoguang asked, "What’s wrong? Isn’t destroying the Leng Family enough?"
Leng Qianchen said despondently, "If it were before, perhaps I could have managed to destroy the Leng Family, but today... I just broke into the secret chamber, my adoptive father... If Leng Qian discovers this, he will definitely guess that I know everything. By then..."
"What do you an ’by then’?" Shi Yaoguang conjured a pill out of thin air and told him, "Open your mouth."
Leng Qianchen opened his mouth subconsciously, and the next mont, a round pill entered his mouth.
The pill lted as soon as it touched his tongue, Leng Qianchen wanted to savor it, but only a hint of herbal fragrance lingered.
"What is this?"
No sooner had he spoken than he felt a warm current coursing through his limbs. Soon after, the skin where he was injured began to itch.
The itching grew stronger, and he could hardly resist the urge to scratch.
"Don’t move."
With just a gentle command, Shi Yaoguang stopped him again.
Leng Qianchen obeyed and stayed still, but his curiosity remained.
"What is this dicine for?"
Shi Yaoguang: "It’s for healing your wounds."
Leng Qianchen asked subconsciously, "Hasn’t the doctor already checked?"
Shi Yaoguang pretended not to notice that his question revealed he had been conscious all along, and said candidly, "My dicine is different from what the doctor prescribed."
Soon, Leng Qianchen understood the difference.
"This..." He watched incredulously as the wounds on his body scabbed over and healed at a visible rate. He was so astonished he could hardly contain himself, "How did you do this?"
Shi Yaoguang put on a pained expression, "I had foreseen you’d encounter this calamity and specially prepared it for you..."
After speaking, she seed as though she had let sothing slip and quickly covered her mouth, "No, I didn’t say anything."
Leng Qianchen found her attempt to cover up rather cute.
He already knew the value of the dicine he had just taken. He cleared his throat and spoke with a touch of embarrassnt, "Mrs. Quan... the dicine you gave is too precious, I’m afraid I can’t afford to repay you..."
Shi Yaoguang blurted out, "If you can’t repay, you could use your body..."
Before she finished, her mouth was covered by soone else. She struggled and looked up, eting Quan Jinbei’s cold eyes.
Shi Yaoguang shivered and said weakly, "Please let go of first."
Quan Jinbei raised an eyebrow, "What were you going to say?"
"What can I say?" Shi Yaoguang coughed and corrected herself, "I an, if you truly feel uneasy about it, Leng, it’s not that there’s no way to settle the debt."
"How to settle it."
Leng Qianchen’s eyes showed a trace of interest.
Shi Yaoguang stated matter-of-factly, "The pill I gave you is worth a fortune, sothing you should be able to appreciate."
"Such an item, no matter where it’s placed, soone would want to pay a high price for it. Giving it to you indeed counts as a loss."
Leng Qianchen looked at her, seeing no pretension in her statent, and he nodded in agreent. He then urged her to continue, "And then?"
"I think..." she cleared her throat, "There are many ways to repay a debt. You could work for ."
"Work?"
Leng Qianchen’s eyes twinkled with a teasing light, "Does Mrs. Quan think I look like soone who would work for others?"
"No, no, no." Shi Yaoguang said, "Soone like you, Leng, has the look of an unparalleled master at first glance."
Leng Qianchen: "???"
"Unparalleled master?"
He couldn’t have heard wrong, could he?
In fact, when Shi Yaoguang ntioned an unparalleled master, could it actually be that "gentleman"?
Shi Yaoguang knew what he was questioning and quickly gave an affirmative answer, "You don’t need to doubt, the unmatched one I’m talking about is the one you first thought of."
Leng Qianchen was dazed, "How co I feel it’s a bit... unreal?"
He probed tentatively.
Shi Yaoguang extended a finger and waggled it, "There’s nothing unreal about it, you’ll see in ti."
"For now, you just need to take care of the Leng Family’s affairs, Young Master Leng, can you do that?"
Shi Yaoguang’s beautiful eyes blinked lightly as she looked at him, her gaze carrying hints of encouragent.
What could Leng Qianchen say?
A man could never say no!
Shi Yaoguang was very satisfied with his reaction and imdiately said, "Young Master Leng truly lives up to the title of a heroic figure, I believe in you."
...
After sending Leng Qianchen away, Shi Yaoguang was surrounded by a jar of vinegar.
Being surrounded by a jar of vinegar was one thing, but when she took the initiative to speak, he simply ignored her.
"Sicheng, don’t be like this~"
Shi Yaoguang grabbed his arm and shook it, "Haven’t I told you? I’m not interested in any man but you."
"Heh." Quan Jinbei scoffed coldly, "If I weren’t here, I reckon your harem would be up and running."
"Sicheng, you can’t say that," she protested with an innocent face.
"Who am I? What are my feelings for you, Sicheng? Don’t you already know?"
"Saying I have intentions for others, isn’t that absurd?"
As she spoke, she subconsciously patted his chest, "Co on, Sicheng, don’t be mad, okay? This little woman is here apologizing to you."
After saying that, she snapped her fingers, "Oh, right."
"Hmm?" Quan Jinbei glanced at her with a haughty look.
Shi Yaoguang smiled and leaned in closer, "I haven’t told you, have I? Leng Qianchen, he is being prepared for you."
"What do you an, ’prepared’ for ?"
"Isn’t it my plan to turn him into an unmatched master?" she said as she moved behind him, pressing his shoulders gently with a kind and virtuous deanor, "Sicheng, you work so hard all the ti. It’s only right to have a few reliable people by your side."
"I think Leng Qianchen is quite suitable."
Quan Jinbei raised an eyebrow, "Are you willing to let him be mine?"
Shi Yaoguang continued smiling, "Look at what you’re saying, Sicheng, can he compare to you?"
"If you really want him, not to ntion him, even if you wanted the moon in the sky, I would fetch it for you."
Quan Jinbei, under her gentle siege, resignedly gave up his struggle.
What could he do?
He was simply captivated by beauty.
He sighed lightly, his tone resigned, "Just this once, and not again."
Shi Yaoguang nodded obediently, "Sicheng is so nice~ I like you the most."
Quan Sicheng helplessly stretched out his hand and gently pinched her face.
Despite him not using much force, a red mark still appeared on Shi Yaoguang’s face.
Quan Jinbei stared at the red mark on her face for a mont and raised an eyebrow, "So delicate."
Shi Yaoguang lifted her smile, "What’s wrong with being delicate? Don’t you like it, Sicheng?"
"I like it," Quan Jinbei answered crisply.
Shi Yaoguang looked at him playfully and stretched out her arms in a hugging gesture, "Sicheng, give a hug~"
