"No worries, it's what I should be doing. It's no trouble at all," Lin Kuang said with a laugh.
"Let's go out for a walk. Staying at home is pretty boring," Liu Shilin said.
"Yes, yes! I'm dying of boredom from being cooped up at home! Sis, where are we going to have fun?" the Witch, Shiyu, asked eagerly, her entire demeanor instantly brightening.
"Let's go clothes shopping. Didn't you say you wanted to join Lin Kuang for his morning exercises?" Liu Shilin said with a smile before turning to go upstairs and change.
Hearing Shilin's words, Shiyu's doll-like face immediately soured.
"That's right. A certain someone can come try it out with me tomorrow morning," Lin Kuang, who was standing nearby, chimed in with a grin. He then got up and walked into his room.
"ARGH! You jerks! You're all ganging up on me! Hmph!" the Witch grumbled furiously, then ran upstairs to change.
Lin Kuang changed quickly; he was dressed in less than two minutes. Looking at himself in the mirror, he narcissistically flipped his hair. "I think I've gotten even more handsome."
At that moment, Lin Kuang was wearing a black and white shirt and light blue casual pants. He had a sunny disposition, and his handsome features were easily on par with those of popular young idols.
He walked out of his room and sat on the sofa to wait. Women, after all, need time to get ready before going out, especially beautiful ones.
Sure enough, just as he'd expected, Shilin and Shiyu finally came downstairs half an hour later. The sight of the two beauties, one older and one younger, descending the stairs arm in arm was stunning. Even Lin Kuang, who was no stranger to beautiful women, found himself momentarily transfixed.
Shilin wore a black dress with a diamond necklace. Her jet-black hair was draped casually over her shoulders, and her cool, aloof expression made her seem unapproachable. The dark dress paired with her icy demeanor gave her the aura of an untouchable queen.
As for Shiyu, her style was far more daring. She wore a pair of denim shorts, her long, sexy legs proudly displayed as if to showcase her charm. On top, she had on a beige short-sleeved T-shirt. Thanks to its wide neckline and her own generous bust, a tantalizing glimpse of her fair skin was clearly visible.
"Pervert! You lecher!" Shiyu couldn't help but huff when she saw where Lin Kuang was looking.
At her words, Lin Kuang quickly averted his gaze and stood up calmly. "You both look very beautiful today. Especially you, Shilin." He offered a small smile, his gaze purely appreciative.
Hearing Lin Kuang's compliment, a slight blush rose to Shilin's pretty cheeks. "Not at all, I look the same as always. Let's get going."
Annoyed, Shiyu snorted from the side and shot Lin Kuang a fierce glare. At the same time, she pointedly stuck out her already spectacular chest, as if to wordlessly express her displeasure.
Lin Kuang didn't say anything, simply shrugging as he followed the two women out.
"Oh, right. Lin Kuang, can you drive?" Shilin asked just as they stepped out the door.
"Yeah, I can. Been driving for a few years," Lin Kuang said with a laugh. After all that time in the military, running so many missions, how could a wolf like him not know how to drive?
"Good. There's a Mercedes van in the garage. Let's take that one," Shilin said after a moment's thought. "Otherwise, we'd have to take two cars, which is a hassle."
Lin Kuang nodded, went to the garage, and found the Mercedes van. After getting into the driver's seat, he started the engine and slowly pulled up beside Shilin and Shiyu. The two women promptly got in and settled into the back seat.
"Where to?" Lin Kuang asked, his eyes meeting Shilin's in the rearview mirror.
"Let's go to Epoch Mall. If you can't find it, just turn on the navigation," Shilin said with a smile.
Lin Kuang nodded, turned on the navigation, and drove straight for Epoch Square.
Lin Kuang knew it was a little risky to go out right now. After all, there was still the matter of Liu Tiecheng's woman being a threat to the sisters. Still, since the two of them were in high spirits, he didn't want to be a wet blanket. Besides, he was confident enough in his own strength to handle any trouble that came their way.
Twenty minutes later, Lin Kuang pulled into the Epoch Square parking lot, and the three of them stepped out of the vehicle.
"Whew, it's so hot! I think it's even hotter than yesterday," the Witch said as she got out of the car, rapidly fanning her face with her hand as if it would provide some relief.
"Then what are you waiting for? It'll be cool inside the mall. Let's go," Shilin said with a smile, already heading for the entrance.
At this, Shiyu hurried to catch up, while Lin Kuang followed behind the two of them, protecting them.
Sure enough, it was much cooler inside. The mall's air conditioning made the temperature delightfully comfortable.
"Come on, let's go upstairs," Shilin said with a smile.
Women really do love to shop. Even when they're exhausted, they can find the energy to browse for hours at the mere mention of it. Their stamina was truly something to behold.
Shilin and Shiyu were no exception. The two of them hadn't even eaten lunch, yet they spent hours wandering around the mall. They bought every piece of clothing that caught their fancy. By evening, Lin Kuang was draped in more than twenty shopping bags, having practically turned into a human bag-rack.
Looking at all the clothes, Lin Kuang was completely bewildered. Could they really wear all this stuff? Wouldn't two outfits to alternate between be enough? Of course, he only dared to think this to himself.
By evening, the two women finally seemed tired. They headed back to the car while Lin Kuang loaded all their purchases into the trunk.
"Where to now?" Lin Kuang asked with a smile from the driver's seat.
"Let's get something to eat. I'm starving!" the Witch said.
Hearing this, Lin Kuang couldn't help but shoot her a disdainful look. She had so much energy for shopping, how could she suddenly be hungry now?
"What are you looking at? Just drive, you pervert!" the Witch glared, snapping fiercely.
"Uh, I need a destination to drive to. Are we going home?" Lin Kuang couldn't help but ask.
"Are you dense? I already said we're going to eat!" the Witch retorted irritably.
"There are tons of places to eat. How am I supposed to know where to go? Sichuanese, barbecue, hot pot... there are so many options. How would I know what you feel like eating?" Lin Kuang said flatly, giving the Witch a look like she was a complete idiot.
"Lin Kuang! You damned lecher, what was that look for? You better explain yourself to me right now, or I'm not done with you!" the Witch shrieked. Her face flushed red with anger, and her ample chest heaved violently, giving Lin Kuang quite the free show.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing," Shilin quickly intervened, trying to smooth things over. "Let's just go to that Sichuan restaurant up ahead. Their food is excellent."
