CHAPTER 916: CHAPTER 916 CUTE GIRL

Xiao Shanghe felt a surge of emotion when he saw Shi Yaoguang jumping through the window, almost like he wanted to cry tears of joy.

"Director~~!"

Hearing his slightly sentimental tone, Shi Yaoguang shivered, shaking off the goosebumps on her arms.

Meanwhile, her gaze towards him held a hint of disdain.

Xiao Shanghe covered his eyes, stubbornly refusing to let the tears fall.

Initially, he was just pretending to cry.

Now, he really wanted to cry.

Why exactly was he so unlikable?

Did he deserve such disdain?

Just as he was about to voice this question, he saw Quan Jinbei jump through the window.

Xiao Shanghe: "..."

Forget it.

Being disliked isn’t a new thing for him.

What’s the big deal about being disliked?

He could handle it!

Thinking this, he forced a flattering smile.

"Did you come specifically to rescue me?"

Shi Yaoguang: "No."

Seeing her reply without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Shanghe believed it.

Based on the time he’d spent with Shi Yaoguang in the crew, since she said it, she wasn’t lying.

She wasn’t here to rescue anyone.

This left Xiao Shanghe feeling a bit hurt.

After spending so much time together, did she really not feel any affection?

Quan Jinbei glanced at him, wanting to know what kind of affection?

Understanding Quan Jinbei’s meaning, Xiao Shanghe quietly shut his mouth.

What affection?

He didn’t need anything!

Seeing that he got the hint, Quan Jinbei ceased his threatening gaze.

However, this didn’t put him at ease.

Xiao Shanghe couldn’t help but ask, "If you’re not here to rescue me, then what are you here for?" Surely not just to watch the show?

Shi Yaoguang gave him a look, saying calmly, "We’re here to watch the show."

Xiao Shanghe: "..."

Ha, love, it’s gone.

Even if Xiao Shanghe today were to die on the bed, he wouldn’t beg a word from this heartless woman!

Just as he was about to entertain himself, Shi Yaoguang said, "Are you possessed by a ghost?"

"Huh?" Xiao Shanghe was a bit taken aback.

Shi Yaoguang sighed, "Every night, I can hear you wailing like a spirit."

Sobbing and wailing.

Quite creepy.

Shi Yaoguang had excellent hearing; she could block out noises she didn’t want to hear.

But...

Xiao Shanghe was toxic!

His voice could drift into Shi Yaoguang’s ears even from afar.

As a result, she lost interest in everything she did.

Wasn’t Quan Jinbei already frustrated by this?

Xiao Shanghe thought about it carefully, feeling he wasn’t that much of a crier, right?

The Xiao Family wanted him to marry...

He tui! What marry?

If he was to enter into a marriage alliance, Xiao Shanghe was to take a wife!

Even if the Xiao Family forced him to marry, he only felt a bit of resentment.

He wouldn’t genuinely hold a grudge against his family.

After all, he was part of the Xiao Family.

As a member of the Xiao Family, he should always consider the bigger picture.

Not short-sighted or petty.

All he needed to do now was pay his dues.

Otherwise, how could he enjoy so many benefits from the Xiao Family without giving anything back?

It was because he understood this clearly that Xiao Shanghe sobbed quietly every day.

The Xiao Family’s hearing wasn’t as good as Shi Yaoguang’s.

No matter how much Xiao Shanghe whimpered, they couldn’t hear it.

So, his crying crying crying only ended up troubling Shi Yaoguang.

Knowing this, Xiao Shanghe felt extremely complicated.

"I, I didn’t mean to..."

He felt a bit scared.

If he had known this would happen, he should have...

Forget it.

Even if he had known, he would’ve still cried.

There was nothing he could do.

It was too frustrating.

He needed to vent the frustration out, or he would be miserable.

To save himself from misery.

Better let Shi Yaoguang bear the discomfort.

He thought maliciously to himself.

Shi Yaoguang looked at his expression, snorted coldly, "Do you think that since you kept me awake at night, I would let you off easily?"

Xiao Shanghe was stunned.

Could it be...

No?

Shi Yaoguang sniggered, "Don’t be so naive."

Xiao Shanghe: "..."

How does one break this sudden bad feeling?

He was just thinking about it when he heard Shi Yaoguang say, "I see you’re quite eager for this marriage alliance with the Zhen Family’s young lady."

Xiao Shanghe waved his arms, "No, I don’t—"

Before he could finish saying he didn’t anticipate it, Shi Yaoguang said, "To fulfill your devoted love, I will head to the Zhen family’s home now and remind Ms. Zhen to advance the wedding date."

With that, without giving Xiao Shanghe a chance to refute, she jumped out of the window and left.

Quan Jinbei followed closely behind.

But before jumping out of the window, he turned back and gave him a...

A look he couldn’t describe.

This intimidating aura...

Could this be frustration?

Xiao Shanghe suddenly felt he should man up.

Why was he whining like this?

Wasn’t it just getting married?

Why was he so afraid?

Crying like this was so undignified.

Unfortunately.

He didn’t react quickly enough.

Shi Yaoguang had already gone to the Zhen family.

Indeed, she spoke and acted promptly.

She actually went to the Zhen family.

The Zhen family.

Zhen Yunjin had just finished her bath and was reclining on a soft chaise, indulging in the massages from two pretty... young men.

When Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei arrived, this was the scene they witnessed.

Zhen Yunjin lay on the chaise, covered only by a thin layer of silk.

On her left and right knelt two young men looking about seventeen or eighteen, both exceptionally handsome.

The kind of handsome that seemed feminine in appearance.

And very youthful.

If not for their developed bodies, they would resemble children.

"Ajin, is this pressure okay?"

"Ajin, today my work..."

The two young men’s work seemed to involve more than just massaging; they also reported their tasks while Zhen Yunjin rested with her eyes closed.

Since Zhen Yunjin was still occupied, Shi Yaoguang didn’t break in recklessly.

Different situations called for different entrances.

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to leave, Zhen Yunjin opened her eyes.

Noticing her open eyes, the two boys immediately shut their mouths.

And then...

Zhen Yunjin pushed them down forcefully.

Pushed... them down.

Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei sat on the eaves, looking at each other pensively.

How did things turn out this way?

Why were they eavesdropping at the Zhen family’s house?

And eavesdropping on a one-woman-two-men incident?

If that were all, fine.

Why...

Initially, Shi Yaoguang did think that way.

As time passed, Shi Yaoguang suddenly felt a moment of clarity.

Perhaps...

This wasn’t just Zhen Yunjin’s unusual preference, but rather she had some concealed reason?
