Chapter 67: You Kid, Which One Do You Actually Like?

???

Shen Huai felt as if the sky had collapsed.

Wait, no?

Hold on? Is it really this direct?

To be precise, this is only the second time he and Yang Lan have met.

To start off by talking about liking someone and feelings, this is just too fast.

And besides...

Shen Huai secretly glanced at Lin Yeman.

He saw that Lin Yeman's smiling expression was clearly somewhat stiff.

The deliberately upturned corners of her eyes could not conceal the heaviness that was almost overflowing from the depths of her gaze.

She had not expected this.

Her own sister would actually fall in love with a man at first sight! Oh sister, dear sister, you really don't make a sound until you stun everyone.

A trace of desolation welled up inside Lin Yeman.

But if it really is like this.

Then what should she do? Talk about being friends with benefits, colleagues, friends.

That was all just Lin Yeman being stubborn.

Before this moment, she had been ninety-nine percent confident that she could slowly win back Shen Huai's heart.

After all, they were in the same company.

They saw each other every day.

She could have ten thousand ways to create opportunities to be alone with Shen Huai.

All perfectly justified.

But now it was different.

Shen Huai was no longer just her cooperative colleague.

He was her sister's blind date.

He was the only son of China's richest man, Shen Zhiyuan.

Although her father, Yang Huo, had a great reputation overseas.

Everyone knew that the one he cherished most was his eldest daughter, Yang Lan.

Her sister had been carefree and thoughtless since childhood.

She had superior intelligence, but her emotional intelligence was negative infinity.

She grew up with a face that made people fall for her, but the moment she opened her mouth, her rough-and-tumble nature was revealed.

The etiquette taught to socialite ladies had been taught ten thousand times, yet the next second she would still stubbornly discard the knife and fork.

She would wantonly eat spaghetti with chopsticks and scoop up macaroni with a spoon.

Her father, Yang Huo, could do nothing about her and eventually just let her be.

Since the "big account" was raised to be a failure, he could only pour all his efforts into the "small account."

Therefore, since childhood, Lin Yeman had lived a life completely different from Yang Lan's.

Whenever she watched Yang Lan lying on the sofa like a salted fish, wearing oversized shorts covered in paint, she, who was forced to sit in the study listening to a teacher drone on about dry traditional studies, didn't know how many years she had spent envying her.

She had clearly worked so hard.

She was clearly the one who fit the image of the perfect daughter in her father's heart.

But for some reason.

Her father Yang Huo's attention would always fall on Yang Lan first.

"Manman, your sister isn't very good at social graces; you are her own sister, you must help her."

"Manman, your sister has fallen behind in her studies; can you help her?"

"Manman, your sister hasn't interacted with many men, let alone dated; you should vet him for her..."

"Manman,..."

Memories swirled in her mind.

Lin Yeman's lips could not help but tremble slightly.

Why?

Yang Lan clearly had many young masters to choose from.

She had never seen Yang Lan care about any man.

Why, of all people, did she have to set her sights on the same man as her?

Was she expected to compete with her own sister for the same man? In an instant.

All of Lin Yeman's previous confidence crumbled to pieces.

She knew very well.

If Yang Lan truly wanted Shen Huai.

It would be impossible for her to win.

Lin Yeman raised her dim eyes and looked at Shen Huai meaningfully.

As it happened, she met the scrutinizing gaze Shen Huai had cast her way.

The two looked at each other, then quickly looked away.

Shen Huai scratched his head and said with some helplessness: "Miss Yang, what I said just now might have caused you some misunderstanding."

"What I actually meant to say was, if you don't want to go on this blind date either, let's go tell our parents clearly in a moment. I think Uncle Yang seems quite reasonable, we—"

Shen Huai was busy explaining, but unexpectedly, Yang Lan's eyes darkened, and she said aggrievedly, "Are you... rejecting me?"

"No, I just don't want you to misunderstand—"

"Then let's try it."

It was as if there were a natural barrier in Yang Lan's brain; she automatically ignored Shen Huai's awkward expression and cheered up, saying, "Just this weekend, let's try it, try it like a boyfriend and girlfriend." "... Boy, boyfriend and girlfriend? The weekend? Try it?"

These few keywords.

No matter which one you picked out, they were all explosive.

Shen Huai's CPU was almost burnt out.

His eyes kept darting toward Lin Yeman, signaling to her.

He really didn't mean it like that.

Lin Yeman received Shen Huai's look for help and spoke with tacit understanding: "Big Sister, how could a girl be the one to take the initiative in this kind of thing? We have to take it slow."

Hearing this, Yang Lan frowned slightly: "Manman, but shouldn't love be equal between men and women?"

"Today we already teased Young Master Shen once at the airport; letting me take the initiative this time can be considered fair."

"..." Shen Huai's mouth twitched.

What a "fair."

"..." This, but..."

Lin Yeman's face showed embarrassment, and she still wanted to open her mouth to persuade her.

However, Yang Lan stood up with a swoosh, waved her hand, and excitedly typed a few words quickly on her phone.

Immediately after, she turned the screen of the phone horizontally, stood with her hands on her hips in a domineering manner, and displayed it high-profile in front of Shen Huai and Lin Yeman—

【Trial Love Countdown, 2 days!】

"..."

Lin Yeman and Shen Huai looked at the text glowing on the memo on Yang Lan's phone screen.

They felt awkward from their scalps to their toes.

What kind of "chuunibyou" quote was this? Shen Huai's gaze wandered back and forth between Lin Yeman and Yang Lan in disbelief.

This, this, this...

Are they truly biological sisters born to the same father?

The difference in personality is just too huge!

Lin Yeman was even more speechless to the point of covering her forehead.

This older sister's behavior had always been unfathomable to her.

Her train of thought was so simple it was almost eerie.

This Big Sister, she wouldn't treat love as some kind of assessment indicator, would she! As everyone fell silent.

A butler rode a self-balancing scooter and slowly drove over.

"Young Master, Miss Yang, Miss Lin, it is time for dinner."

"The Madam told me to come and lead the way for you; please follow me to the banquet hall."

Great.

Finally, there was no need to face this suffocatingly awkward scene alone anymore.

Shen Huai let out a long sigh of relief in his heart and was the first to take a step, following behind the butler.

Seeing this, Yang Lan also hurriedly pulled Lin Yeman's hand and followed in Shen Huai's footsteps.

Passing through the long corridor.

Finally, the butler stopped in front of a heavy door and knocked gently three times.

Immediately after, the 3-meter-tall solid wood door was slowly pulled open from the inside.

Soft light seeped out from within.

The first thing that came into view was a circular luxury stone dining table with a diameter of three meters.

The tablecloth on top was a large piece of embroidery handcrafted by an intangible cultural heritage successor.

Seeing the three of them instantly.

Yang Shuqin hurriedly stood up with a smile and raised her hand: "Oh my, hurry and sit down, just treat it like your own home."

After speaking, she gave Shen Huai a look.

Shen Huai stepped forward and pulled out the seats for Lin Yeman and Yang Lan: "Please sit."

Yang Lan blushed and nodded gently, then sat down gracefully.

And Lin Yeman also sat down in the seat Shen Huai had pulled out.

After everyone was seated, Shen Huai also sat in the only empty spot.

At the three-meter-long dining table, only 6 people were seated.

The distance between people felt like a galaxy apart.

For a moment.

The atmosphere seemed somewhat distant and awkward.

Shen Huai's gaze swept over quickly.

Shen Zhiyuan was naturally sitting in the main seat, his expression appearing a bit more ruddy compared to the solemnity at the beginning.

Sitting beside him, Yang Huo's face was even redder than Shen Zhiyuan's.

Shen Huai couldn't help but secretly raise an eyebrow.

These two, they wouldn't have already gotten drunk in the wine cellar, would they? Just as Shen Huai was feeling puzzled.

A scrutinizing gaze quietly landed on him.

Immediately after.

A voice carrying invisible pressure suddenly came from the opposite side.

"You brat, which one of my family's girls do you actually like?"
