As the door slowly opened, Shen Meiyan, meticulously dressed, stepped out in her high heels. She wore a well-tailored off-white dress that revealed her slender, fair legs, and the high heels accentuated her perfect proportions. She carried a dark green bag and gently swept her long hair back, revealing her long, fair neck. A confident and elegant smile radiated from her face as she looked at Lin Shihao.
Looking at Shen Meiyan's outfit today, Lin Shihao raised an eyebrow, his eyes revealing admiration and amazement. He threw away his cigarette and strode over.
"Have you been waiting long?" Shen Meiyan's lips curled up slightly, a smile as beautiful as spring flowers blooming quietly appearing on her face, her voice soft and melodious.
"For Your Highness, I'm willing to wait even a thousand or ten thousand years." Lin Shihao's lips curled into a slightly wicked smile. He bowed slightly, reached out, and gently opened the car door, his movements fluid and natural, like a refined gentleman. "Princess, please get in."
"Wow, you've learned these internet slang terms pretty quickly!" Shen Meiyan chuckled.
As the car door slowly closed, Lin Shih-hao walked around to the other side and got into the driver's seat.
"I've booked a table at the Rose Manor in the suburbs." Before Shen Meiyan could ask, Lin Shihao had already told her his arrangements with a smile. He held the steering wheel with his left hand and looked at her with a smile, "But I don't know if you'll like it."
"How did you know I wanted to go to the Rose Manor recently?" Shen Meiyan looked at him with some surprise. A newly opened Rose Manor in Nancheng had recently become a hit online, attracting many girls to take photos and check in. However, Shen Meiyan felt it was too crowded and wanted to wait until the hype died down before going. She hadn't expected Lin Shihao to choose that place.
"Looks like I guessed right. It means we're on the same wavelength." Lin Shih-hao smiled and started the car.
Shen Meiyan was in a great mood. She took out her phone and started taking selfies in the car. She also inadvertently captured Lin Shihao's profile as he focused on driving. She looked at it carefully and thought the angle was great, so she opened a photo editing app and started editing the photo. She even thoughtfully added a big heart to it.
After finishing the photo editing, Shen Meiyan's fingers glided lightly across the screen as she examined the picture she had just edited with satisfaction. In the photo, Lin Shihao's profile was sharply defined, sunlight streaming through the car window onto his face, highlighting his deep eyes and tightly pursed lips, exuding a roguish charm. She added a bright red heart to the photo, and after confirming that nothing was missing, she immediately clicked on Song Shiyao's profile picture and sent it without saying a word, but this photo was enough to drive Song Shiyao insane with jealousy.
Lin Shih-hao inadvertently caught her sending a WeChat message, and a slight smile appeared on his lips as he chuckled softly: "Could this be the Song something-or-other person you mentioned before?"
Shen Meiyan awkwardly put away her phone, a feigned angry look on her face, and scolded coquettishly, "How could you peek at my phone?"
Lin Shih-hao, however, didn't seem to care. Instead, he continued with a grin, "Hehe, let's take some more intimate photos later. Wouldn't that make the other person even angrier and more frustrated? That would be more exciting and satisfying!" Then he confidently declared, "Just tell me what you need me to do. I promise I'll obey your every command! If you say go east, I won't go west even a step!" After saying that, he winked at Shen Mei-yan with a grin.
"Ha!" A sarcastic smile crept across Shen Meiyan's lips as the woman's affected voice from the other end of the phone echoed in her mind. She couldn't help but sneer, saying mockingly to Lin Shihao, "I suppose the woman you were drinking with last night was completely fooled by your sweet talk, wasn't she?"
Lin Shih-hao sensed the jealousy in Shen Mei-yan's words, but he wasn't angry. Instead, he turned his head with a half-smile, glanced at her with a slightly ambiguous look, and then slowly replied, "What? Are you jealous because of this?"
Just as they were waiting at a red light, he turned around and gently patted Shen Meiyan's smooth and delicate face, softly comforting her, "Your Highness, please don't worry. In my heart, only you are worth my painstaking efforts to please and flatter. As for the other women, they are just tools for my flings outside. Only they need to try their best to please me."
Shen Meiyan rolled her eyes at Lin Shihao, though she had long known that he was a womanizer. But hearing him say such things again still made her feel inexplicably irritated and unhappy.
"Don't worry, I'll keep it to myself after we get married. I promise I won't let anyone photograph these things or let them reach your ears." Seeing the green light, Lin Shih-hao started the car, a smile playing on his lips, speaking in a tone of gracious approval.
Shen Meiyan felt incredibly frustrated. She impatiently turned her head away, trying to escape the uncomfortable emotions. Although her relationship with Lin Shih-hao was merely a pursuit of a more comfortable and luxurious life, a deep-seated ache still lingered within her. At this moment, she couldn't help but fall into self-doubt, questioning whether her initial choice had been wise.
Just then, a slight vibration alerted Shen Meiyan to a new message. She lowered her eyes, reached for her phone, and tapped the screen to unlock it. Sure enough, a message filled with anger from Song Shiyao appeared: "Shen Meiyan, you bastard!"
Having just woken up, Song Shiyao felt like she had been struck by a bombshell when she saw Shen Meiyan's message, and her emotions instantly spiraled out of control. Unable to contain her anger, she abruptly sat up in bed and began to hurl insults without any regard for her image.
Shen Meiyan smiled and replied, "We're on our way to a date now." After saying that, she changed Song Shiyao's WeChat settings to Do Not Disturb.
As soon as Shen Meiyan entered the Rose Manor, she saw a familiar figure. Gu Qingyan, dressed in a dark suit, was leading Xiao Wanrou, who was wearing a white dress, out of the car, his eyes full of tenderness.
