Shen Huan cried out in pain after receiving a punch.
He glared at Mu Tiantian, questioning, "Didn’t Shi Yaoguang say it’s not what you think? And you’re still hitting me?"
Mu Tiantian replied very insincerely, "It’s not like I did it on purpose, alright? My strength just got out, and I couldn’t hold back my hand."
"Bullshit!" Shen Huan cursed angrily, "You think I don’t know you did it on purpose?"
Mu Tiantian chuckled, "Don’t demolish a person when they’re down."
"To hell with not demolishing a person when they’re down!" Shen Huan rolled his eyes and couldn’t be bothered to argue with this crazy woman anymore.
Yaoguang coughed lightly and looked at Shen Huan, "Are you sure you want to reveal our relationship?"
Shen Huan nodded without a second thought.
Yaoguang reminded him one last time, "Don’t forget the reason why we didn’t make it public in the first place."
The reason they didn’t go public with their relationship was, firstly, because there was no need.
Shen Huan’s grandfather was Yaoguang’s disciple, which naturally placed Shen Huan several notches below in seniority.
If Shen Huan couldn’t hold his ground, the situation would be fine, but if he couldn’t...
He could only be called "grandson."
Shen Huan was so annoyed by Mu Tiantian that he temporarily forgot about this matter. By the time he remembered it, Mu Tiantian had also caught on.
She laughed so hard her stomach hurt, and after catching her breath, she said to Shen Huan, "I never expected you to be , Shen Huan!"
She wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes and said to Shen Huan, "Considering my relationship with Yaoguang, calling me ’Grand Aunt’ isn’t too much, is it?"
Shen Huan clenched his fists, veins popping on his forehead, looking furious, "What did you say?"
Although Mu Tiantian was a bit airheaded, she wasn’t dumb.
She could clearly see how angry Shen Huan was getting.
Choosing between her own safety and spectating the drama, she made a tough decision.
"I...I didn’t say anything, haha..."
Listening to her dry laugh, Shen Huan pressed his tongue to his cheek and scoffed, "You’d better remember what you said! Whoever dares to spread today’s events, I’ll skin them alive!"
This statement was meant for the onlookers.
Everyone assured him repeatedly, not a single word would be leaked.
A secret known to three people is no longer a secret.
The onlookers all had their own close friends and small circles, didn’t they?
One by one, they shared a little here and there, and soon everybody knew about the relationship between Shen Huan and Shi Yaoguang.
It was only because they didn’t dare to talk in front of Shen Huan that a superficial peace was maintained.
Annoyed, Shen Huan dispersed the onlookers and then continued the previous topic.
"My grandfather is your disciple, and as the eldest disciple, doesn’t he deserve some help and face? Don’t you think this is too much?"
Shi Yaoguang had not expected Shen Huan to still dwell on this issue. After thinking for a while, she gave an answer, "It was his choice to do so."
Shen Huan pouted, "The Lin Family can also do it willingly, can’t they?"
Not utilizing the power of a disciple and instead looking for help elsewhere, what kind of situation was that?
Shi Yaoguang understood his point and replied somewhat helplessly, "It’s not a cushy job, why care so much about it?"
Shen Huan gave Shi Yaoguang a "you don’t understand" look, "Is this about whether it’s a cushy job or not?"
"This is our devotion!" After accepting Shi Yaoguang’s super awesome identity, Shen Huan became more at ease with the generational pressure.
He didn’t consider Shi Yaoguang to be an ordinary human anymore. He, a mere mortal, couldn’t outperform an abnormal one, and wasn’t that quite normal?
Shen Huan viewed it with an open mind, so he wanted to do his best within his capacity.
When Shi Yaoguang heard Shen Huan express his willingness, she was speechless for a while, but eventually said helplessly, "Stop thinking about these things."
"When I need you, I won’t hesitate to ask."
Even though Shen Huan was reluctant, he could only agree.
As he turned to leave, he caught Su Yike’s smiling expression.
"What a coincidence." Su Yike greeted him, "Did you just come from Yaoguang’s place?"
Shen Huan rolled his eyes at him, "None of your business?"
"I don’t want to meddle."
Su Yike shrugged innocently, "I’m just a bit curious."
"Curious about what?"
"Curious about what you need from Yaoguang for."
Shen Huan snorted, "Why do you care what I want from her for?"
"Let me tell you, my relationship with her is not something that just anyone can ruin."
Shen Huan hummed with self-satisfaction, "My relationship with her is indestructible! No petty person can interfere with it, so don’t get cocky."
Su Yike blinked innocently, "Could you be misunderstanding something? I haven’t misunderstood your relationship."
Shen Huan raised an eyebrow, "You think I’ll believe you just because you said so?"
"If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do, but I still want you to trust me, I really haven’t misunderstood."
After finishing, Su Yike paused for a second, "If you’re looking for her to ask about the Lin Family, I can tell you."
Shen Huan was somewhat surprised, "How do you know what I want to ask?"
Su Yike answered frankly, "Besides the Lin Family’s business, I don’t think you would be concerned about anything else."
He showed an expression that was hard to describe, "Why do I feel like what you’re saying is kind of strange?"
Su Yike spread his hands, "There’s nothing strange, you’re probably overthinking."
He spoke, then shared about his cooperation with Shi Yaoguang, before sighing regretfully, "I know my own status in front of her. The reason she is willing to cooperate with me is just because she sees that I can lead the charge."
Shen Huan scoffed, "At least you’re somewhat self-aware."
Su Yike hummed in acknowledgment, "I know."
He continued, then turned melancholic, "I know I don’t have much influence, that seeking revenge is hard, so I wanted to cooperate with her, Shen Huan..."
"No, Bro Huan, you can’t be explaining, can you?"
As he spoke, he looked at Shen Huan with blinking eyes that held a glimmer of moisture.
With that look, Shen Huan instinctively shivered, "What’s with that look? It’s quite disgusting."
Su Yike coughed and looked at him with even more sorrow, "I just wanted to have a proper talk with you... I was presumptuous."
Seeing him looking as if he were bullied, Shen Huan rubbed his arms, "Alright, alright, cut the crap. What do you really want to say?"
"Shi Yaoguang probably hasn’t told you why I sought her cooperation, right?" Su Yike suddenly asked.
Shen Huan shook his head, "She only mentioned that you two are cooperating. Why do you want to cooperate with her?"
Shen Huan naturally understood the benefits of associating with Shi Yaoguang.
He just didn’t know what Su Yike’s true intentions were.
