Chapter 167

Xu Can sat in the main seat between the two of them,

The tension between them had already broken through the stratosphere,

If one were to describe it in manga terms, the two of them had their inner universes grinding against each other.

Earlier, Stone-Sister had resolved to compete with Mei-Mei, so the two of them simply tried to keep Xu Can company as much as possible, being nothing but good to him.

This really was a god-like life, with great beauties attending to him at every turn.

The only downside was it was rather taxing on the kidneys; ordinary people simply couldn't handle it—it took a superhero to manage.

Unexpectedly, the two of them grew more and more intense, neither backing down, neither willing to lose.

The battle gradually escalated.

Yesterday Xu Can had just finished keeping Stone-Sister company; today it was Mei-Mei's turn.

Mei-Mei had hired a Michelin chef and prepared a lavish French meal, wanting to share a romantic candlelit dinner with Xu Can.

Then they headed to the bedroom together.

The result was Stone-Sister suddenly storming over.

"Oh, my grandma gave me a recipe for an especially delicious apple pie. Baby, I made one and wanted to give it to you... oh? Taylor's here too, perfect timing—let's taste it together."

"How could you do this?"

"I didn't break the agreement, did I? This is an unexpected situation—I brought dessert for you to eat, you're not welcome?"

"You did it on purpose!"

Seeing the two of them about to come to blows, Xu Can quickly pulled them apart, shoved a set of cutlery into each one's hands, and sat them down together to eat.

"There's quite a lot of food today, perfect for you to help finish some of it."

The result was that before they'd eaten more than a few bites, the two of them—who were clearly good-natured—began trading passive-aggressive barbs at each other, and the current standoff quickly took shape.

Xu Can quickly told them to calm down.

Xu Can himself bore some responsibility for creating this situation.

He had assumed the two girls could get along harmoniously like in web novels—when would that ever actually happen?

Neither Stone-Sister nor Mei-Mei had the sort of meek, submissive personality,

And neither liked to swallow their grievances.

If there was a problem, they wanted to settle it on the spot.

Xu Can's fantasy of embracing them on both sides seemed rather difficult to realize.

"Let's call it a day here. I'll have Vanessa send you both back."

"Huh?"

Xu Can suddenly sending them off left both of them completely baffled.

"These past few days have honestly been pretty chaotic—we all need to cool down a bit."

"But…"

"Baby, she's clearly the one who—"

"Stop, don't say any more."

Xu Can stood up, took one with each arm, wrapped his hands around their waists, and pushed them out the door.

Just then Vanessa arrived driving up; Xu Can put the two women in the car and watched the vehicle drive off.

Even as they left, they were still leaning against the car window in confusion, looking at Xu Can.

Only then did Xu Can let out a long sigh of relief.

By normal logic, it should have been them joining forces to interrogate Xu Can, forcing him to choose between the two, or simply storming off in a huff.

Unexpectedly, thanks to his usual round of PUA, the two of them had redirected their spears at each other, while Xu Can sat in the middle keeping perfect balance.

On the surface this seemed wonderful, but in reality it was truly exhausting.

Xu Can really did need some rest too; the three of them could all use a cool-down.

The key was, during this period…

Xu Can finding someone else to grab a meal with or something was perfectly reasonable, right?

Unexpectedly, speak of the devil—

Xu Can had just returned to the dining table, planning to continue enjoying the Michelin chef's dinner.

The doorbell suddenly rang; the Spanish maid who couldn't speak English opened the door, only to find an uninvited guest.

"Where's Emma? I called her and she didn't pick up."

It turned out to be Kristen Stewart.

"Uh, if you're looking for her, why are you showing up at my door?"

"You said earlier you wanted her to prepare an apple pie for you—where is she?"

"No idea, probably went back to the apartment."

"Her pie is clearly right here! Did you team up with Taylor to make her storm off?"

Kristen's tone suddenly grew agitated.

Xu Can was amused by her.

"First of all, this is none of your business; I have no obligation to explain myself to you. Second, why do you care so much about her?"

"She's my best friend—her business is my business!"

"That's not right. I get the feeling you have some other agenda. Even if she's your best friend, bursting into my house at night like this is a bit out of line, isn't it?"

Watching the agitated Kristen, Xu Can's steak knife continued cutting the steak at an unhurried pace.

"Asshole!!! You've been hurting her feelings all along—don't think I don't know!"

"Oh?"

"Do you know what? I like her, and I absolutely cannot watch you toy with her again!"

Bingo, case cracked.

No wonder Kristen has been so out of character — turns out she's been harboring a secret crush on Emma Stone?

Good lord, you bent way too early.

According to the original timeline, she should've dated Robert Pattinson and only swung that way a few years later.

Probably on the set of Twilight, she had the most contact with Emma Stone, and slowly got bent by Stone Sis.

Emmm… Xu Can had no idea what expression to make.

But he saw the emotionally agitated Kristen rush straight over and grab Xu Can's arm.

"Come on, go with me to see Emma, you break up with her to her face."

"Hands off, calm down."

"Calm my ass!"

Kristen tried to grab Xu Can again, but Xu Can used his extreme reaction speed to dodge, then rose and pinned her against the wall, gripping both her wrists.

The John Wick in John Wick wasn't played for nothing!

Even if a UFC champion came, they wouldn't last a single round against Xu Can, let alone a little girl with no strength to even tie up a chicken.

Thinking carefully, she's just an 18-year-old girl now, probably hasn't even finished puberty, very easy to get hot-headed.

"I told you, calm down."

Xu Can leaned close to Kristen's ear, his voice low.

He could clearly feel Kristen's delicate frame tremble — she knew to be afraid now.

The two were inches apart, their nose tips almost touching.

Xu Can could clearly see her unique dark green pupils. 【】

His original intent was to restrain the other party, let this little girl calm down a bit, then send her back — magic cloak, off.

But as it turned out, they just stared at each other from this close for about 10 seconds,

and Kristen launched a sneak attack on Xu Can.

With her mouth.

"??!"

Xu Can had just taken a sip of Romanee-Conti estate red wine, worth over 60,000 US dollars.

Kristen seemed especially greedy for the wine, as if wanting to fully get the taste of the red wine from Xu Can.

Once this little girl went wild, she was even wilder than the vampires in Twilight.

Last time Xu Can had already had a full taste of it, and this time it was even more so.
