During my time here, I only figured out one thing: the man's name—Lake.

Living like this, just eating and waiting to die, is worse than death. I scratch my head in frustration.

In the living room, the flamboyant woman, Benny, was sitting on the sofa, leisurely watching Fashion Week while constantly munching on snacks.

A commotion erupted outside the door, and a man dressed in royal blue walked in, followed by several women.

Benny was furious, but there was nothing she could do about it.

She used to be clueless about the truth and suffered losses several times, both openly and secretly. Now she's learned her lesson; if she can't afford to offend her, she can at least avoid her.

Her expression immediately changed, and she started chattering away.

"Master, you're back..."

She was about to casually take the man's briefcase when the woman following behind beat her to it.

She was so angry she wanted to hit someone, but suddenly felt a chill run down her spine as she looked up to meet the unfriendly gazes of the women.

Fine, I'll just stand there obediently.

Shen Shiyi calmly watched everything unfold before her at the top of the stairs, that stupid woman.

Silently despising the woman who had recently tried to play tricks on her, she silently mourned for three seconds.

A worthy opponent, or rather, an even more formidable opponent.

"You're awake?"

Um?

Turning around, she met a pair of deep, unfathomable eyes, pursed her lips, and thought, "Why bring up something I don't want to talk about?"

Alright, I've been caught peeping. I'd better just go downstairs obediently.

The stairwell wasn't particularly long or short, and I reluctantly headed towards the man.

As the women behind the man watched the graceful and elegant woman descend, a chorus of emotions rang in each of their hearts.

It seems that woman is the one their boss has his eye on.

"Let me introduce you, these are my personal bodyguards, Lianrong and Chengzhi."

Ha, orange juice?

These days there are still people who are terrible at naming things, giving their children such terrible names.

Shen Shiyi met her opponent's scrutiny with an expressionless face, giving him a disdainful look.

"Not interested!"

"you……"

The two shouted in unison, and the man gave a cryptic, devilish smile.

In a situation where both sides suffer a humiliating defeat, someone must be the happiest person.

Hmph, woman, you're finished.

If you mess with my woman, I'll just watch you suffer a fate worse than death.

When Shen Shiyi cast a cold glance at her, Benny's gloating expression hadn't yet disappeared.

Shen Shiyi asked casually, as if it were a trivial matter.

"Are you happy?"

Upon hearing this, the two women behind the man turned to look at her, and Benny immediately deflated.

He thought to himself, "Oh no, I've messed with this person."

It's all that bitch's fault, she deserves to die.

"Sir, are you really planning to keep her by your side?"

If that were the case, would it affect their position in the master's heart?

Cheng Zhi looked directly into the man's eyes, afraid of missing a single expression.

The man sitting in the leather chair narrowed his eyes, clearly angry.

"Lianrong, you seem to talk a bit too much."

He never liked self-righteous women, especially those who tried to test his thoughts and actions.

However, that woman can go out!

The woman who was directly named immediately bowed and apologized.

"I understand, sir."

"Go down."

...

At the dinner table, there were four women and one man.

At the rectangular dining table, the man at the head of the table was dressed in casual and comfortable loungewear, which gave him a relaxed and easygoing appearance.

On the left and right sides are Lianrong, Chen Shiyi, Chengzhi, and Beini.

The delicious food on the table failed to break the eerie atmosphere; everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

With a wave of the man's hand, everyone began to eat.

Unable to bear the quiet atmosphere, Benny took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Sir, are you going out again this afternoon?"

"What's up?"

Benny, with her shy and bashful demeanor, answered hesitantly.

"No, it's just that I'm concerned about you..."

Before Benny could finish speaking, Lianrong across from her chimed in.

"Hmph, I think it's like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken with ill intentions."

Her blatant sarcasm made Benny blush with embarrassment.

"you……"

How dare she! Who does she think she is, humiliating her in public like that? I'm just trying to make her angry.

A moment later, Benny's voice faded away, and Lianrong's voice came up again.

"Sir, Xiao Feng and the others are arriving tonight. Would you like us to host a welcome dinner for them?"

The man eating paused slightly and said only two words, "No need."

The beautiful Benny, who was watching closely, almost burst out laughing.

Haha, how about that? How about that? I still didn't really give you a second thought, humph!

Lianrong and the other woman glared at her, but Benny didn't care.

With me here, would they dare to lay a hand on me in front of them?

Shen Shiyi ate in silence the whole time, but the reckless Benny insisted on dragging her into the women's war.

"Miss Chen, it's been so long, and we still don't know your name. Could you please tell us?"

A woman's sweet, coquettish voice came from across the room, and Shen Shiyi almost threw her chopsticks down because she couldn't stand it.

Are you sick?

"Pfft!"

The beautiful ladies laughed without any restraint, hahaha.

"I think so too. Why would someone go into heat in broad daylight if they're not sick?"

"puff!"

Shen Shiyi, who had just taken a sip of soup, heard this and once again spat it out onto the other side without any politeness.

Benny, who had been humiliated once again, gritted her teeth in anger.

"You, you bitch..."
