Chapter 559 His Scumbag Nature is Widely Known
Since Ye Wanxi survived the tribulation and received a gift from the Heavenly Dao, Xiang Yueqi, who also benefited from it and was able to cultivate again, was naturally not afraid of this little virus.
But just because he wasn't afraid doesn't mean that Yue Yunke, who has no memories of her past life and no magical powers, is also not afraid.
Of course, this is not the main point about why he reluctantly accepted quarantine.
"The main reason was that the hotel we stayed at at the time also had an unfortunate case who got infected."
The crowd paused for a moment, then immediately stopped watching with amusement and listened attentively to what he had to say.
"Then what?"
“With such a ticking time bomb in the hotel, we’re naturally under even tighter control.” Xiang Yueqi said, his expression slightly complicated. “Because of this, everyone in the hotel is worried about whether they will be implicated, so naturally, they’re paying more attention to this patient.”
Xiang Yueqi paused at this point and remained silent for a long time.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the others looked up at him in confusion and urged, "Continue."
Two days later, his itinerary report came out. This guy was a business manager at a small company. The reason he stayed at that hotel was because he was taking his wife on vacation. However, before his vacation, he had just been on a two-week business trip, during which he traveled to about five or six cities. Cough cough, aside from work, he did almost every night...
"What?"
"He was having an affair with his lover."
Everyone: "?!"
"Doesn't he have a wife? What a scumbag, cheating on his wife?"
"Yes, it's not just that..."
"That's not all?!" Qi Yingxuan exclaimed in surprise, his eyes flashing with anger towards the scumbag and... excitement of watching the drama unfold!
Xiang Yueqi was startled by his suddenly raised voice. He took a breath before saying, "I'm not just saying that he has more than one lover or extramarital affair partner."
Everyone: “!!!”
"During the first half of his business trip, he was accompanied by a beautiful woman in her early thirties. This woman was his secretary and his regular mistress, and she traveled with him to two or three cities. Later, for some reason, the secretary temporarily left. This man then traveled to several more cities and stayed away for more than a week. Without his secretary by his side, he... you know what I mean."
"..."
After a moment of silence, Qi Yingxuan couldn't help but mutter, "Is this bastard a human teddy bear? It's one thing to bring his mistress with him on business trips, but even without her, he still..."
Xiang Yueqi coughed lightly and continued, "Well, as you all know, now that he has been confirmed to have contracted the virus, his itinerary will definitely need to be reviewed. Who he has met during this period and who he has had close intimate contact with will all be made public. Even if it is written in a rather vague way, you should all understand what that means."
Everyone: "..." Good grief, so this scumbag cheated on too many women, and in the end he still capsized?
Having an affair, hiring someone, and causing such a huge commotion—now all the gossipy relatives and friends know about it. It's a total social disaster.
"His wife was furious when she found out. It's a good thing he's in quarantine and can't see anyone, otherwise she would have torn him to pieces. But he can only escape for a while. Once he's recovered and released, this matter will continue to escalate."
What Xiang Yueqi didn't mention was that after learning the truth, the man's wife threw a huge tantrum and then immediately contacted a doctor to have a full-body checkup.
In her words, "That scoundrel has been with so many women, who knows if he has anything else unclean on him besides this virus? For my own health, I have to get checked out properly."
With this level of awareness, she shouldn't be so easily swayed by a few sweet words from her husband when he comes home; otherwise, the marriage is likely doomed.
"Among the people he came into contact with, did any of them get infected?"
"Yes, the results came out a couple of days ago. He was infected by his secretary, and then he infected other people. The only thing to be thankful for is that his wife is fine. Perhaps this is... karma."
Because of his philandering, he became a complete scoundrel, and in the end, he lost all face, his wife, and a host of illnesses.
Qi Yingxuan sneered and said without any politeness, "Scumbag and bitch, they deserve it!"
Ye Wanxi nodded in deep agreement, but still had some doubts: "It's satisfying, but what does this have to do with you, Second Senior Brother?"
Xiang Yueqi touched his nose and chuckled dryly, "It's not really related. But coincidentally, before I went on my trip with Yun Ke, I also had to work overtime and go on several business trips."
The room fell silent instantly, and everyone's gaze towards him became subtle.
Xiang Yueqi immediately bristled like a startled cat: "What kind of looks are those? I was on a legitimate business trip, I didn't bring anyone with me!"
"real?"
"...I brought an assistant."
"Oh, assistant..." Ye Wanxi's voice suddenly trailed off.
Xiang Yueqi exploded again: "But he's a man, a man!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Yingxuan's gaze towards Yue Qi changed instantly. He chuckled lewdly, "A man? Second brother, I didn't expect you to have such... heavy tastes, oh..."
Qi Yingxuan had barely finished speaking when a leather shoe flew towards him and hit his face.
"Alright, stop fooling around." Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Feng Tianyu's low shout successfully stopped the fellow disciples from killing each other.
Xiang Yueqi glared at Qi Yingxuan and said coldly, "Anyway, it's just bad luck. She happened to be on a business trip just like that scumbag. Don't be fooled by Yun Ke's appearance. She's actually very sensitive. And our marriage is a business arrangement... Ever since she found out about this man, she hasn't said anything, but the way she looks at me has always been a bit strange."
“I originally wanted to explain things to her and secretly come back to find you. But after this happened, I feel like if I just run away like this, Yunke will definitely think that I'm worried about getting infected and being quarantined, and that I'll be exposed like that guy, that I have something to hide. God knows how wronged I feel, I'm really, really not that kind of person!”
"So, you're just going to stay in quarantine with Sister Yunke for the full number of days before coming back?"
"Hmm." Xiang Yueqi couldn't help but let out another silly grin that sent shivers down Qi Yingxuan's spine.
It has to be said that although the things that happened were quite upsetting, he and Yue Yunke could be considered to have turned misfortune into blessing this time.
He had put in a lot of effort, sending gifts, flowers, love, and warmth, and after all that, he only managed to get a good look from Yun Ke at his junior sister's housewarming party.
After experiencing this, although he was almost mistaken for a scumbag at first, after they stayed in quarantine together for more than ten days, Xiang Yueqi clearly felt that Yun Ke's attitude towards him had changed significantly.
The most obvious example of this was when he told her that he was coming here to help his junior sister.
