"Alright, Shiyu, it's fine. Mr. Lin is here to protect me, and Dad trusts him. Also, don't tell anyone what you just heard, understand?" Liu Shilin said with a smile.
Perhaps because her cool, composed face hadn't smiled in a long time, the expression was a little stiff and unnatural, but it couldn't diminish her beauty.
Hearing Liu Shilin's words, Liu Shiyu pouted and replied reluctantly, "Fine, I'll listen to you. You're the older sister, after all."
As she spoke, Liu Shiyu turned and glared fiercely at Lin Kuang. She didn't dare take her anger out on Liu Shilin, so she had to vent all her frustration on him.
Lin Kuang simply ignored the capricious little witch, casually walked over to Liu Shiyu's car, opened the door, and plopped himself into the seat as if he owned the vehicle.
Seeing this, the already fuming Liu Shiyu practically vibrated with rage. Her ample chest heaved violently as she fought to keep from exploding.
Asshole! Pervert! Just you wait. I'll get my chance to deal with you! Liu Shiyu fumed silently, then got into the car and sped away.
While driving, Liu Shiyu kept shooting glances at Lin Kuang in the passenger seat. Seeing him serenely admiring the scenery out the window made her blood boil. In short, she found Lin Kuang completely infuriating; just looking at him set her off. His calm demeanor only enraged her further. She wanted to find some fault, to scold him for something, but she couldn't figure out how to even start.
By the time they reached the mall, Liu Shiyu still hadn't managed to vent her anger, and she was in a terrible mood.
"Mr. Lin, come with me. I'll help you pick out a phone," Liu Shilin said with a smile as the three of them stood together.
"Miss Liu, please don't call me Mr. Lin. If it's alright, you can just call me by my name," Lin Kuang said with a smile.
"Very well. In that case, you should call me Shilin or my full name from now on," Liu Shilin replied.
Lin Kuang nodded and followed her into the mall. Liu Shiyu trailed behind them, humming irritably, her beautiful eyes darting about as she schemed.
On the third floor, Liu Shilin bought Lin Kuang a new phone and a SIM card. Then, she led him up to the fourth floor and bought him several sets of clothes.
"Lin Kuang, is there anything else you need? We can get it all at once."
Perhaps because Lin Kuang was a good friend of her father's, Liu Shilin was quite considerate and didn't give him the cold shoulder.
After a moment's thought, Lin Kuang spoke up, a bit awkwardly, "Shilin, could you two wait for me here? I need to go buy some underwear."
"Oh, of course. Shiyu and I will browse the nearby stores. Just come find us when you're done," Liu Shilin said with a laugh. As her smile grew more natural, she became even more captivating, adding another layer of charm to her already intoxicating beauty.
"Okay, I'll be right back." With that, Lin Kuang turned and left.
He found a men's apparel store, went inside, and bought a few pairs of underwear. Thankfully, the hundred US dollars he had on him were usable at the shop; otherwise, things would have been really awkward.
With his purchase in hand, Lin Kuang left the store and started checking the nearby shops to find the sisters. They weren't far, and it only took him a few minutes to locate them.
They were shopping in a women's lingerie store. Lin Kuang decided not to go in, thinking it would be improper for a man to enter a place filled with women's intimate apparel. He waited quietly by the entrance instead.
After a short while, not only had the girls not come out, but an argument had erupted inside. Being so close, Lin Kuang heard it immediately and couldn't help but peek in.
Seeing Liu Shilin and Liu Shiyu arguing with someone, he quickly walked over. As he got closer, he overheard the exchange between Liu Shiyu and the other party and quickly pieced together what had happened.
It turned out that Liu Shiyu had found a set of lingerie she liked. Just after she had told the sales attendant she wanted it and was turning to pay, another woman had snatched it, declaring that she wanted to buy it instead. It would have been a simple matter if there were two sets, but this was the only one. More importantly, Liu Shiyu had picked it first, so she naturally wasn't about to give up something she liked to someone else.
This was what had started the argument. Liu Shilin naturally took her sister's side, especially since Liu Shiyu was entirely in the right.
The woman arguing with Liu Shiyu looked to be in her thirties. She had a decent figure and a reasonably large bust, though she was still a size smaller than Liu Shiyu. Her breasts, however, sagged severely, as if they had been ravaged by men for years. Her face was caked in such a thick layer of makeup that it was impossible to see her original features; its only distinct characteristic was its sheer whiteness.
"You—you're being unreasonable! I clearly saw it first. Give it back!" Liu Shiyu's fiery little witch temper flared as she yelled at the woman.
"No way. It's in my hands now, so who can prove it was yours? Don't think you're so special just because you have the chest of a dairy cow," the woman retorted, her eyes burning with obvious jealousy as she glanced at Liu Shiyu's perky bust.
"Hmph, still better than you. Yours are sagging so badly, they'd probably hang to your ankles without a bra to hold them up," the little witch shot back, her words incredibly sharp.
Hearing this, the woman's face twisted in fury. "You sharp-tongued little bitch! How dare you talk back to me! I'll teach you a lesson!"
As she spoke, the woman raised her hand, swinging it to slap Liu Shiyu across the face.
But just as her hand was raised, an arm shot out from behind and grabbed her wrist. A slight squeeze of pressure was all it took. The woman yelped in pain, her screams echoing through the lingerie store. The agony made her drop the lingerie set from her other hand, but the person behind her caught it effortlessly.
"There's no need to waste words on people like this," Lin Kuang said coolly, handing the lingerie to Liu Shiyu. He had already shoved the other woman aside.
Seeing this, Liu Shiyu was momentarily stunned. The guy she found so annoying had acted with such decisiveness. It was something the little witch hadn't expected at all.
"Hmph. I could have gotten it myself without your help," she snorted, snatching the lingerie from Lin Kuang's hand.
Lin Kuang didn't take it personally. Though he hadn't completely figured out the little witch's personality, he had a good enough idea not to bother with her antics.
Liu Shilin, however, shot him an apologetic glance.
Lin Kuang simply shook his head, signaling that it was no big deal.
"Hey! You pretty boy, how dare you hit me!" the woman Lin Kuang had tossed aside shrieked. "I'm not done with you!"
