But Lu Chen couldn't say anything, because Yu Menglan signaled to him with her eyes. ( )
While Dong Qingqing was in the kitchen making sweet soup, Yu Menglan spoke, her voice tinged with coldness:
"Lu Chen, to be honest, my boss was very angry after learning what happened this afternoon. He did instruct me to get rid of you, or, if he finds out about your family or someone you care about, to see if he can use them to coerce you into working for him. He also knows about your Xuandao cultivation."
"However, I didn't expect that following you would lead me back to my cousin's place. Since you're my cousin's man, I have to figure out how to handle this. It's a real headache, but there's no other way. My boss is ruthless; if he finds out about our relationship, things will probably get complicated. So, please don't reveal this."
She spoke with a worried expression.
But when Dong Qingqing came out, she became cheerful again: "Ms. Dong Qingqing, congratulations on finally finding a decent man! You're sleeping with him quite comfortably, aren't you? I told you, that Li Yuzhu guy is a scumbag, don't worry about him, finding a man to satisfy yourself is the most important thing! But don't forget your cousin is still single, if your man has enough energy, consider sleeping with me too!"
Dong Qingqing finally couldn't hold back anymore, finally completely enraged. She screamed and pounced on Yu Menglan, pinning her down, grabbing an apple from the coffee table, and shoving it into her mouth.
"You brat, I'll shut your mouth up!"
The two vibrant women rolled around on the carpet, their snow-white arms and legs fully exposed. The sight was so beautiful, Lu Chen couldn't resist!
The next day, because the shop was under renovation, he didn't need to be on time for work; he only needed to check on things once or twice a day. Since there were staff supervising, Lu Chen slept until after ten o'clock. This sleep was so comfortable!
Yu Menglan had left sometime earlier, and Dong Qingqing, like a big white lamb, was sleeping soundly next to Lu Chen. She was working the night shift that day and wouldn't start until the afternoon, so she could sleep in late.
Looking at her alluring body, Lu Chen couldn't resist rolling over and pressing his back against hers.
Dong Qingqing woke up with a start, letting out a soft "Ah!"
Finding the man on her back, she felt quite embarrassed, even though it had already… five times.
"The sixth time, okay?" Lu Chen asked ingratiatingly.
Dong Qingqing couldn't bear his disappointment and sighed, saying softly, "Hey, why don't you get up and go take a shower, okay?"
"Go take a shower?" Lu Chen was taken aback, not understanding what he meant.
Dong Qingqing looked at him earnestly: "Yes, go wash up, wash yourself thoroughly!"
As she spoke, her eyes glanced down, seemingly unintentionally. That glance immediately made Lu Chen understand. He exclaimed, "Oh!" and jumped out of bed to wash up.
What happened next was something quite unspeakable.
At noon, Lu Chen had a good meal, mainly to replenish his energy and reduce inflammation and pain. The former was obvious, the latter mainly for Dong Qingqing. In short, the two ate happily, just like a young couple.
Actually, although Dong Qingqing was approaching thirty, and Lu Chen was only in his early twenties, a seven-year age difference, Qingqing was very well-maintained, looking mature yet youthful, at most like twenty-six or twenty-seven. Lu Chen, while not particularly imposing, was tall and also appeared mature.
At first glance, their ages were actually quite similar, making them a suitable couple.
After dinner, they watched that drama called "My Love from the Star" together for a while, then went their separate ways. Dong Qingqing went to work, and Lu Chen went to see Liu Li off.
While waiting for the bus at the station, Liu Li took Lu Chen's arm and nestled in his arms, her ample breasts pressing against his shoulder without hesitation.
Lu Chen was naturally tempted by the two of them, but having already released months' worth of passion the previous night, he wasn't as impulsive. Women, however, are sensitive and immediately sensed the man's state.
Liu Li was a little annoyed and asked, "Chen, what's wrong?"
Lu Chen was a little confused. "Nothing, I'm fine."
Liu Li sighed softly. "Was it because I wouldn't let you in last night? You...you were a little angry?"
"It's a lie to say I'm not angry!" Lu Chen said sternly. "But I had no choice. I couldn't force you, could I? I could only hope that when you came back, you'd miss me and finally agree to let me in. Then, I could do whatever I wanted!" He became more and more excited as he spoke, and turning his head, ignoring the people around them, he gave Liu Li a quick kiss on the cheek.
This made her playfully pout, but her heart felt as sweet as honey. She playfully smacked Lu Chen's shoulder, finally feeling less annoyed, because she sensed that Lu Chen's mood had returned.
Actually, Lu Chen suddenly realized why Liu Li had asked him that, so he quickly tried to cheer her up.
However, Lu Chen felt a pang of guilt towards Liu Li for his passionate encounter with Dong Qingqing last night. He was a little worried; what if Liu Li found out he had another woman? Would she be jealous?
However, these kinds of things are always dealt with on the fly.
Liu Li suddenly took out a card and handed it to Lu Chen. She said, "Chen, we need a car, whether for the shop or for our own personal use. You can drive, right? Here's 200,000 yuan. Find some time to go pick one out. My suggestion is an SUV, something bigger and more suitable for both business and personal use. Anyway, it's up to you!"
This made sense; buying a car was indeed much more convenient when there was still some spare money.
200,000 yuan could buy a very good SUV.
Five minutes later, after seeing Liu Li onto the bus, just before she boarded, Liu Li suddenly hugged Lu Chen, kissing him hard on both cheeks, and whispered, "I feel like I'll be willing to let you teach me striptease when I get back."
These words filled Lu Chen with joy.
After seeing Liu Li off, Lu Chen sighed and turned to leave. Stepping out of the station, he witnessed a scene that filled him with righteous indignation. Damn it, someone was actually harassing an innocent woman in broad daylight?
No, an innocent young woman!
Sure enough, not far ahead, several arrogant thugs surrounded a brightly dressed, fashionable girl with a stunning figure, grinning and saying they wanted to be her male best friend.
The girl struggled fiercely, trying to escape from several angles, but she was blocked by thugs from all sides.
The thugs continued swearing:
"Little girl, stop pretending. I can tell what you do right away! How much money do you want? Just name your price, and I'll make sure you get it. Of course, you have to satisfy me too!"
"Hehe, look at those breasts, boss, she can definitely satisfy you, haha, satisfying us is no problem!"
"That's right, little girl, stop pretending. They're not original anymore, haha!"
…
As they spoke, their thieving hands reached for the girl's breasts.
The girl angrily cried out in a coquettish voice, "Let me go! I'm not the kind of person you think I am! Let me go!"
She tried to push the thugs away with her hands, but her delicate wrists were grabbed, and they kept pulling her into their arms.
Although defeating those thugs wasn't difficult for Lu Chen, in his eyes, these thugs were about the same level as the ones he had taught Gong Jiu a lesson with last time.
However, with so many people watching, he didn't want to cause trouble. In a quieter place, he might have intervened; after all, rescuing a damsel in distress is a must. But with so many people around, it was inevitable that some busybodies would take out their phones to take pictures, and once those were uploaded online, the whole of China would know.
If Wan Qian saw it, he'd be finished. So, he needed to keep a low profile now.
Besides, with such a commotion, surely the security personnel on site would handle it? It wasn't his turn!
Lu Chen ducked and walked past.
"Hey! Hey! Please, save me, don't... don't go..."
The girl suddenly cried out.
Lu Chen had already walked over. Although he didn't turn around, he could clearly recognize that the girl was calling him. She was calling towards his back.
Damn it, why did she have to call me when there were so many people around? Lu Chen paused only slightly, then continued walking forward helplessly.
Behind him, the thugs' foul language continued:
"Hehe, listen to your boss, whoever he sets his sights on can't escape. Even the security guards here won't dare touch him. Do you know who I am? I'm known as the tyrant of Yunzhou Station, the whole station is under my protection!"
"Hurry up and submit to our boss, and I guarantee you'll live the high life, otherwise, you'll only suffer!"
"That's right, suffering isn't good, we have plenty of good food for you to eat, haha, don't choose suffering!"
...
"Let me go, you bastard!" the girl shouted, still pleading with Lu Chen for help: "Hey, save me! Are you really... really the kind of person who wouldn't help someone in distress?"
It's true, it's unclear whether she found Lu Chen's back particularly powerful or reassuring.
The thug leader said smugly, "Stop yelling, no one dares to save you!"
Just then, a voice gritted its teeth beside him: "Let her go!"
Although the voice was low, it carried an undeniable force of authority.
It was Lu Chen returning.
Although he didn't want to get involved, the girl was desperately hoping he would save her. He couldn't let a beautiful woman be so disheartened, and lose faith in society, humanity, and good men, could he?
Besides, judging from the thugs' voices, they were really arrogant enough not to even dare to interfere with the security guards?
So, Lu Chen finally decided to save her and strode back.
"Damn it, you dare to meddle? Do you know who I am? This bus station area is mine. If you mess with me, you'll be walking two miles away, and I'll change my surname to yours!"
The thug leader yelled.
"Did you hear me? Get lost!" one of the thugs arrogantly tilted his head back at Lu Chen, clenching his fists loudly.
Another thug sneered, "This guy thinks he's all that, trying to be a hero and save a damsel in distress? You idiot, hero saving a damsel in distress and then the damsel in distress offering herself is something you only see in movies. Watch out, or we'll make you pay with our fists!"
