Chapter 129: An Unprecedented Shura Field!

~7 min read 1,390 words

The smile on Lu Sheng's face vanished instantly.

It was replaced by undisguised hostility.

She tightened her grip on Shen Huai's hand subconsciously, as if declaring ownership, her tone carrying a hint of provocation:

"Team Leader Lin has come at a bad time; we were just about to head out."

Upon hearing this.

Lin Yeman let out a cold snort, unimpressed.

Her gaze fell upon their clasped hands, and the corners of her mouth curled into an inscrutable smile.

"Oh? What a coincidence. Since that's the case, I don't have anything to do either; why not go together?"

As she spoke, she walked straight to Shen Huai's other side and reached out to take his free hand, her tone as natural as if they were a couple in the heat of romance.

?!!!!

Lu Sheng looked at Lin Yeman in disbelief, as if looking at a monster.

How could she dare?!

How could she dare to take Shen Huai's hand so brazenly right in front of her?! "Lin Yeman, you!..."

Lu Sheng was so angry she gnashed her teeth, but she was momentarily speechless, unable to find the right words to retort.

Lin Yeman completely ignored Lu Sheng's fury.

She turned to look at Shen Huai, a meaningful smile tugging at the corners of her mouth: "What, not welcoming me?"

Shen Huai was caught in the middle like a sandwich cookie.

Through his sunglasses, he could feel the waves of chill radiating from both sides, almost freezing him solid.

Shen Huai pulled at the corners of his mouth awkwardly, trying to ease the tense atmosphere, "Um... how about, maybe..."

"Let's just go."

Lin Yeman said, pulling Shen Huai toward the exit in a way that brooked no refusal.

Lu Sheng was so angry her lungs felt like they were about to explode.

She glared fiercely at Lin Yeman, seeing that Lin Yeman had already pulled Shen Huai into the elevator.

Gritting her teeth, she refused to be outdone and followed quickly behind.

The three of them walked out of the residential complex in this bizarre fashion.

Along the way.

It was as if an invisible barrier existed between Lu Sheng and Lin Yeman, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

Shen Huai was sandwiched in the middle, not daring to even breathe loudly, and could only pray to reach their destination quickly.

Finally.

The three arrived at the most prosperous high-end shopping mall in Jianghai City.

Shen Huai was fully armed, his mask and hat covering him tightly, revealing only a pair of deep eyes.

And beside him, the two beauties with vastly different styles, Lu Sheng and Lin Yeman, stood on his left and right, forming a beautiful landscape.

Such a strange combination naturally attracted the gazes of many passersby.

"Look, look, what's the situation there? One man, two women; is this some new type of love triangle?"

"Wow, those two girls are both so pretty; one is sexy and hot, the other is a cold, high-class woman. This guy is too lucky!"

"Lucky my foot, don't you see his bitter face? He's probably being tortured to death by those two women!"

"He's wrapped up so much that only his eyes are showing, how can you tell he has a bitter face? Maybe he's into this kind of thing!"

The surrounding chatter grew louder and louder.

Shen Huai wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

He lowered his head and quickened his pace, wanting only to escape this awkward situation as soon as possible.

However, Lu Sheng and Lin Yeman seemed completely unaware of the surrounding gazes.

The two of them maintained a subtle distance, their eyes occasionally meeting as if engaged in a silent contest.

The three entered a niche designer brand store.

As soon as they entered, Lu Sheng raised her eyes, breaking the silence first.

She pointed to the finished garment displayed in the window, her tone carrying a hint of showing off: "Shen Huai, how about this suit? I feel like it really suits you."

As a result, before Shen Huai could speak.

Lin Yeman stepped forward and picked up a more expensive haute couture suit from the side.

She held it up against Shen Huai to measure it, saying in a flat tone: "This one is better, and it matches his temperament more."

"Oh, really?" Lu Sheng retorted, refusing to be outdone, "I actually think this one is very old-fashioned; it doesn't fit his age at all." "Age?"

Lin Yeman chuckled, "He is the Second Young Master of the Shen Family; does he need age to reflect his status?"

"Tch, Team Leader Lin can only fool herself with that talk."

Having said that, Lu Sheng turned around and, without showing any weakness, held up another printed shirt, saying to Shen Huai with a smile, "How about this one?"

Unexpectedly, Lin Yeman stepped forward, snatched the shirt away, and threw it aside with disdain: "This one is too flashy; it doesn't suit him."

"Lin Yeman!"

Lu Sheng was about to explode with anger; she clenched her fists tightly and glared at Lin Yeman, "Why are you imposing your own preferences on others?"

"My preferences aren't important; what's important is what Shen Huai likes."

Lin Yeman replied in a flat, double-edged tone.

The two went back and forth like this, neither willing to give an inch.

They fought to have Shen Huai try on the clothes in their hands first, refusing to stop.

Shen Huai's head was splitting from their arguing, and he couldn't help but say in a low voice: "Actually, I can just buy anything; there's no need for so much trouble..."

"No way!"

Lu Sheng and Lin Yeman refused in unison, then both froze for a moment.

The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with hostility.

Shen Huai: "..."

What kind of epic Shura field is this!

This isn't picking out clothes for him at all; it's practically using the clothes-picking as an excuse to have a public battle here.

If the nosy sales staff nearby heard this, who knows what kind of gossip they would make up.

Seeing this, Shen Huai rolled his eyes.

There is only one way to make two women stop being jealous and instead unite against a common enemy.

And that is when an outside enemy appears.

It's just that.

This might mean wronging someone else.

Shen Huai coughed lightly, his gaze falling on a Gold Medal Sales woman with a good figure not far away.

Feigning a casual tone, he said indifferently, "What do you think of that girl? How does she look?"

Instantly.

Lin Yeman and Lu Sheng were silenced.

Both of their gazes turned in unison toward the direction Shen Huai was pointing, their eyes suddenly becoming sharp.

"Shen Huai, we are picking out clothes for you, and you're actually checking out a pretty girl?"

Lu Sheng said indignantly, turning her beautiful eyes to glare at Shen Huai, "With two such great beauties accompanying you, you're still not satisfied..."

"Exactly, where am I worse than her?"

A look of unwillingness also appeared on Lin Yeman's face: "Does she have a better figure than me? She's not even as good as Director Lu."

"..." Lu Sheng glared at her teasingly, and for once, did not open her mouth to retort.

After being provoked by Shen Huai, Lu Sheng and Lin Yeman immediately stood on a united front.

Seeing the two finally quiet down.

Shen Huai then chuckled and said, "If I didn't say that, how long would you two have kept this up?"

"Alright, stop arguing, give them all to me, I'll try them on one by one."

As Shen Huai spoke, he spread his hands out toward the two.

The two were stunned for a moment before they realized.

So, Shen Huai just wanted to make them shut up.

Lu Sheng and Lin Yeman hurriedly handed the clothes to Shen Huai and watched him enter the fitting room.

The moment the fitting room door closed.

Lin Yeman turned around, her gaze sharp as she looked at Lu Sheng: "Director Lu, what exactly is your relationship with Shen Huai?"

Hearing this.

Lu Sheng also turned around, not to be outdone, and faced Lin Yeman: "Then Team Leader Lin, what is your relationship with Shen Huai?"
