Chapter 454: A Showdown Conversation

Wang Sice, restless at heart, grabbed Shen Yan by the shoulder and said enthusiastically, "I just missed you, that's all. You didn't even give a heads-up when coming over here."

Shen Yan was speechless; you aren't some stunning beauty that one finds unforgettable, so under normal circumstances, he wouldn't even think of this person.

One does not strike a person who is smiling.

Since the other party was acting so enthusiastic, Shen Yan couldn't very well keep him at arm's length, so he greeted him with a smile: "I have guests at home today, so it's not convenient to host you. Let's get together another time when I'm free."

Wang Sice glanced at Chen Shanni by the poolside, leaned in, and asked in a low voice, "Old Shen, what is your relationship with that red-haired beauty?"

As soon as Shen Yan heard this, he knew what was going on and said bluntly, "You are not allowed to set your sights on her."

"What about those two?" Wang Sice caught his meaning, and while feeling regretful, he gestured with his chin toward the direction where Luo Qiqi and Yu Youwei were.

Shen Yan: "......."

So this guy came here to scout for beauties, wanting to make a move on whoever he caught sight of.

If he wanted to hit a wall, let him hit it; Shen Yan didn't think the two women would pay any mind to this guy.

"If you've got the ability, go ahead and pursue them!"

"You got it!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Sice seemed as if he had been injected with chicken blood; he slicked back his hair with a flamboyant air and first arrived at the side of the pool where Yu Youwei was about to swim to.

In the tone of a humble gentleman, he said, "Beauty, I'm Shen Yan's next-door neighbor. Are you free tonight? I can drive you out for a spin."

By presenting himself this way, he could both show off his wealth and status and display his gentlemanly demeanor; he had always been invincible using this tactic.

With a beckon of his finger, those beauties would usually follow him happily.

However, he was destined to miscalculate today.

Out of respect for Shen Yan, Yu Youwei just replied coldly, "Sorry, my sexual orientation is a bit unconventional."

Boom!

Wang Sice felt as if he had been struck by lightning; such a pure and lovely girl, and she was actually a lesbian. He felt a sense of regret for countless fellow men.

The others couldn't help but laugh, their bodies trembling slightly.

They were all stunned by this self-defamation from Yu Youwei.

Wang Sice walked over to Luo Qiqi next. At this moment, Luo Qiqi's brain was a mess, so she simply followed suit: "You've got the wrong person; she and I are a couple."

"Hahaha!"

Now the crowd could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.

In this situation, how could Wang Sice not know he had been played? He hadn't expected this sweet-looking girl before him to be so ingenious in rejecting people.

He couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.

But giving up easily wasn't his style. He said with complete sincerity, "Beauty, I really don't mean anything else. Let's just be friends and get to know each other. You can ask Shen Yan; I, Wang Sice, am definitely not the type to mess around."

Luo Qiqi was speechless and simply shifted the blame onto Shen Yan: "If you were as handsome as Shen Yan, I'd go out with you."

Wang Sice's expression remained calm. Wasn't it enough to have one of the traits of being rich, handsome, and tall? Besides, he possessed the most important one. If a woman remained unmoved, it was simply because the price offered wasn't high enough.

Perhaps there was another possibility.

With so many people present, the beauty was embarrassed to agree to go out with him, as it would invite all sorts of unfriendly comments from others.

He didn't continue to insist, and after saying goodbye to Shen Yan,

he drove away in style.

The "rumble-rumble" roar shook the bodies and minds of many.

As expected of a supercar, it was truly exhilarating to drive.

With the annoying fly gone, Luo Qiqi looked at Shen Yan with complex eyes, as if they contained a myriad of emotions. Shen Yan coughed twice, then picked up a pool towel and walked toward Chen Shanni, who was practicing her breathing by the poolside.

"It's getting late. You should head home first, so your parents don't worry."

"Oh!" Chen Shanni replied, still feeling unfulfilled, and then climbed onto the shore to wipe herself off.

That gentle and caring posture was reflected in the eyes of those who noticed, and Luo Qiqi felt as if she had drunk lemon water, sour to the point of bubbling over.

A wave of resentment rose in her heart.

Jerk! You two-timing playboy!

She slapped the water surface indignantly, kicking up sparkling splashes, then sank to the bottom of the pool, transforming into a mermaid swimming vigorously to vent her dissatisfaction.

At 10:30 at night, the villa was silent. The lush courtyard and the luxurious architecture complemented each other, giving one a sense of tranquility and comfort far from the hustle and bustle.

The second-floor suite.

The temporary residence belonging to Yu Youwei, Luo Qiqi, and Wu Yue'er.

After Yu Youwei walked into the bathroom, Wu Yue'er, who was lying on the bed engrossed in a game, was suddenly tapped on the back.

Turning her head, she met Luo Qiqi's somewhat unsettling gaze.

"What's wrong?"

Wu Yue'er was slightly puzzled; she had felt this girl was acting strange back at the pool.

"I want to talk to you!" Luo Qiqi said straightforwardly.

Decisiveness was her style.

Wu Yue'er didn't refuse and followed her to the suite's balcony with light steps.

With her hands resting on the railing, admiring the beautiful scenery of the villa under the night, Luo Qiqi said something shocking: "You and Shen Yan have been together for a long time, haven't you?"

Wu Yue'er's pupils shrank sharply, but she immediately brushed back a lock of hair blown by the wind with a calm expression. She feigned surprise and said, "You're very strange tonight, suddenly coming out with such nonsensical words."

"Heh!" Luo Qiqi laughed at herself and began to mutter: "The acting skills of you all are truly eye-opening; even professional actors don't compare to you in the slightest. Especially Shanni, such a simple and obedient girl—I don't know when she transformed into someone who can lie without even blinking.

It is precisely because of her existence that I never delved into that aspect.

But I never expected that the most impossible thing would happen."

"What on earth are you talking about?" Wu Yue'er continued to play innocent, while inwardly pondering where she had let the cat out of the bag.

It must have been at the pool.

It is highly likely related to Wang Sicong.

Sure enough, Luo Qiqi's next sentence confirmed her guess.

Luo Qiqi gradually grew accustomed to the other party's superb acting skills and continued to recount: "Shen Yan surely isn't bringing you to the villa for the first time; it is not hard to judge this point from that Wang Sicong's words."

"So what, it's very normal for good friends to visit each other."

"Heh!" Luo Qiqi let out a cold laugh.

Things had reached this point, yet the other party was still putting up a stubborn resistance; they were all good friends, was there any need to guard against her as if she were a thief?

Or was it that she felt she was too much of a threat, worried that another person would be added to the harem group?

Luo Qiqi looked straight ahead, too lazy to look at that performed expression: "If I hadn't seen Hao Anqi and Shen Yan hugging each other intimately with my own eyes, I wouldn't have dared to confirm this guess, combining all the events of the past and stringing all the traces together."

An answer was ready to emerge: the three of you are all Shen Yan's girlfriends.

Although it is somewhat unbelievable, this is the truth, and it cannot be denied.

You don't need to guard against me so strictly; we are friends, and I have no intention of revealing this secret, I'm just curious why you are willing to be like this?
