Chapter 135: Completely Exposed

"... Ahem, you two... what exactly are you trying to do?"

Shen Huai's pleading gaze darted back and forth between Lu Sheng and Lin Yeman.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he grabbed the chopsticks Lin Yeman was about to use to serve him again and begged for mercy: "My dear ladies, that's enough, right? At least let me die knowing why."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yeman finally set down her chopsticks gracefully and looked at Shen Huai with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"What is it, Second Young Master Shen? Is this soft-shelled turtle not to your taste? You used to love the soft-shelled turtle soup I stewed for you the most..."

"?" Shen Huai's heart skipped a beat.

"What does Team Leader Lin mean by that? I don't understand," Shen Huai feigned calmness while laughing it off, though his heart was already churning with turbulent waves.

How could this Lin Yeman suddenly expose her identity right in front of Lu Sheng? "Second Young Master Shen doesn't understand? But I certainly did."

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow and picked up the conversation with a pointed tone, "How about it? Never thought there would come a day when two ex-girlfriends would appear at your house together, did you?"

"?... You two... you both know about each other?"

The moment he heard this, Shen Huai looked up in shock.

"That's right. We found out while you were upstairs talking to that clothing store owner."

After a pause, Lu Sheng looked at Shen Huai and curled her lips into an amused smile: "I also heard something interesting."

"A few days ago, I heard from an employee at the company that the intern in the New Media Department, Liu Shishi, is also your ex-girlfriend?"

Hearing the name "Liu Shishi."

Shen Huai knew he had really messed up this time.

"... Yes, that's right." He lowered his head, feeling guilty, his brain racing to come up with a countermeasure.

"You even protected her in the Canteen."

Shen Huai replied weakly: "It was purely out of help between colleagues."

Hearing this, both Lu Sheng and Lin Yeman burst into laughter.

"Fine, fine, fine. Whatever Second Young Master Shen says is correct."

Lin Yeman covered her mouth with a light laugh, her eyes filled with deep meaning: "Actually, I don't care at all about how many ex-girlfriends you have."

"I just simply feel that in a relationship as intimate as ours, the fact that you hid from me that Director Lu is your ex-girlfriend is truly hard for me to let go of."

Hearing this, Lu Sheng rolled her eyes at Lin Yeman in annoyance and turned to look at Shen Huai: "You didn't tell me about your relationship with Team Leader Lin either. Isn't that a bit excessive?"

"I..."

Shen Huai was left speechless, not knowing which side to appease first.

"What, haven't thought of an excuse yet? You're usually quite good at talking, aren't you?"

Lin Yeman crossed her arms over her chest, looking at Shen Huai with that same smile.

"I didn't mean to, it's just..." Shen Huai wanted to explain, but didn't know where to start.

He couldn't exactly blame Yang Lan for the fact that the whole company was full of his ex-girlfriends, could he? That would be absurd beyond belief! When he first discovered the company was full of ex-girlfriends.

Not to mention how shocked Lin Yeman and Lu Sheng were, even he himself had been dazed for quite a while before accepting the fact.

The situation was too complex right now, and he was afraid that if he couldn't explain it clearly, it would only cause a bigger misunderstanding.

Who could have imagined.

That in the gap while he was dealing with Yang Lan, his harem would actually catch fire.

"Alright, no need to explain." Lin Yeman interrupted Shen Huai's train of thought.

"Director Lu and I aren't unreasonable people. Looking at your expression, you don't want to tell the truth, and we can't be bothered to force you."

Hearing this, Shen Huai let out a sigh of relief and looked at Lin Yeman gratefully.

"However..."

Lin Yeman changed her tone, a sly look appearing in her eyes, "Capital punishment may be avoided, but life's suffering is inevitable!"

"Since you made a mistake, you must accept the punishment!"

Shen Huai's heart, which had just settled halfway, instantly jumped back up.

He asked cautiously: "What punishment?"

"It's very simple."

Lu Sheng took over the conversation, her lips curling into a playful smirk as she pointed to the table full of virility-boosting food, "Finish this whole table, then accompany us to watch a movie, and we'll let you off."

Shen Huai was stunned on the spot.

Eating, watching a movie?

That's it? What kind of punishment is this? "Just... just like that?" Shen Huai finally asked tentatively.

"What, you want something else?" Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow and asked back.

"No... I naturally didn't mean that."

Shen Huai nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

He was terrified that if he answered too slowly, these two ladies would come up with some other crazy idea.

"Since that's the case, it's settled then!"

Lu Sheng and Lin Yeman exchanged a smile, their eyes flashing with a sly light.

"Eat the oysters first, those are quick..."

"Drink the soft-shelled turtle soup while it's hot; the meat won't taste good once it cools down."

"This chive and egg stir-fry is very fragrant, try it quickly..."

"Oh right, right, the kidneys haven't been finished yet..."

After a feast of extreme nourishment, Shen Huai felt like he was about to ascend to heaven.

The monstrous energy contained within his body made him feel so feverish he was about to explode.

Shen Huai collapsed onto the sofa, his entire brain becoming somewhat muddled from the heat, and his thoughts could not help but begin to wander.

"How is it, Second Young Master Shen, are you satisfied with this dinner?" Lin Yeman handed Shen Huai a cup of tea and asked with a smile.

"Sa... satisfied..."

Shen Huai was somewhat listless and, without thinking much, took the tea and drank a mouthful.

Once the tea was down his throat, that feverish heat not only failed to diminish, but instead became even more pronounced.

Only then did he knit his brows and look down at the teacup.

He saw, to his shock, bright red goji berries floating in the cup.

"……!"

Shen Huai nearly spat it out on the spot.

He took a deep breath, feigned composure as he placed the teacup on the coffee table, and said, "It's a bit hot, I'll drink it in a while."

"Fine."

Lin Yeman did not insist; she smiled, picked up the remote control, and turned on the television.

"Now that we're full and satisfied, it's time to watch a movie, right?"

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Lu Sheng: "Director Lu, is there any genre you'd like to watch?"

Lu Sheng thought for a moment, her gaze darting toward Shen Huai: "A romance film, I suppose."

"A romance film, huh..." Lin Yeman murmured, then chuckled, "I didn't expect that Director Lu, who seems so detached from the mundane world, would actually be like a little girl and enjoy watching romance films."

"What, does the law forbid it?" Lu Sheng rolled her eyes at her, annoyed.

"No, of course you can."

Lin Yeman said with a smile, then turned her head to look at Shen Huai, "And you?"

"... Ahem, any genre is fine, I'm not picky; I'll watch whatever you two choose."

Hearing this.

Lin Yeman nodded thoughtfully: "Director Lu wants to watch a romance film, while I want to watch an action film..."

"Since that's the case, then..."

As she spoke, Lin Yeman tapped her phone screen a few times in quick succession.

Shen Huai curiously looked up at the television screen, wanting to see what kind of movie Lin Yeman had actually chosen.

The very next second.

His pupils dilated instantly!

He was petrified in an instant!

For there, on the 100-inch oversized television screen.

A thrilling and stimulating... adult romance film from the Sakura Country was playing!
