Finally, Hu Zhibei patted his chest and assured—————————-
“Trust me, with your handsome face, even if you were a hooligan or thug, you would have women rushing towards you. Girls these days, they all like good looks, they call it something like… ‘looks-oriented’ online!”
Yes, that’s right!
Everyone was focused on looks.
With a hint of skepticism, Quan Hanting ended the call and silently repeated the last move that his third brother mentioned.
He had a good memory, and he could recite every word accurately.
“…you must seize the opportunity, leave her speechless, make her unable to speak…”
As he described it, a certain scene unexpectedly appeared in the man’s mind, and he instinctively extended it further.
Had he really become so obsessed with Shen Wan?
Five minutes later, the sound of rushing water came from the bathroom, but strangely, there was no steam.
Because it was all cold water.
Meanwhile, Hu Zhibei hung up the phone and tossed it onto the bedside table.
He took out a cigarette and lit it.
Inhaled deeply, then exhaled slowly, creating a beautiful smoke ring that gradually expanded and disappeared into the air.
“Lord, what happened?” The woman’s voice was clear and charming.
Hu Zhibei furrowed his brows. “Wait until I finish this cigarette.”
The woman rubbed her sleepy eyes and copied his pose, sitting up against the headboard. Her brown, curly hair flowed down over her shoulders, and her eyes held a soft, gentle look. This was particularly evident when she glanced at the man from the side, although she tried to hide it intentionally.
The man didn’t seem to notice, or perhaps he didn’t want to?
“Are you happy, Lord?”
“Yes, I am.”
“Can you tell me why?”
The woman had been with him for several years, and Hu Zhibei quite liked her. He was willing to talk to her about these things on ordinary days. “My brother has seen the light and plans to pursue a girl.”
“So he came to you for advice?”
Hu Zhibei blew a smoke ring in her direction, his actions wild and roguish. “What’s the matter? From the way you talk, it sounds like he can’t ask me?”
The woman yawned elegantly and her every gesture was beautiful. “You’re just a half-baked expert yourself, so how can you teach others?”
“Sss… Why am I a half-baked expert?”
The woman rolled her eyes. “Who was it that bought a bouquet of carnations back in the day? Other kids bought them for their mothers, but you, without asking, bought them for me.”
“Ahem… I just thought the flowers looked nice, who knew there were so many details?”
“If you didn’t know, you could have asked the store clerk, dummy…”
Hu Zhibei gathered her mischievous hands together. “Even if I’m a dummy, I’m still the one you like.”
The woman nodded. “That’s true.”
But in her heart, she silently thought: This macho man is beyond help, yet he still wants to take on an apprentice, but I hope the person he teaches doesn’t go astray. In the end, not only will he fail to win his girlfriend, but he’ll also end up in a mess…
At half-past six, the daylight outside the window became bright.
Shen Wan got up and began her morning routine. Though it was not very convenient to do so with only one hand, she managed to complete the basic tasks of brushing her teeth and washing her face.
The clothes she took off the day before were no longer wearable, but luckily, the gray hoodie she had on was still presentable. She would make do with it for now and buy new clothes when she returned to the city.
Shen Wan went downstairs and didn’t see anyone in the living room. The room was filled with silence.
She sat on the sofa for less than two minutes before Mr. Zou, carrying a medical kit, entered the room with steady steps. The morning light cast an orange halo behind him, making him appear kind and benevolent.
“Good morning, young lady.”
“Good morning, Mr. Zou.”
“Did you sleep well last night?”
It was a seemingly ordinary greeting, but Shen Wan detected a hint of something else in it. However, upon closer inspection, the old man’s expression seemed perfectly normal, and his gaze was honest and sincere..
