Chapter 177 The King of the Southern Continent, damn it, fell into a man's pit!
"Knock knock knock—"
A loud sound of leather shoes came from the doorway, and Pei Jinwu subconsciously turned around.
"Shang Shiyan has arrived."
Lou Ying, Jiang Jibai, and Song Mingji followed suit and looked in that direction.
"How did you know it was him?" Lou Ying strode up to Pei Jinwu's side, pressing close to her, and asked in confusion as she stared at the empty space.
"Feel."
Pei Jinwu had her hands in her pockets, her beautiful chin slightly raised, and her tone was relaxed and languid.
"What the heck?"
Lou Ying almost thought she had misheard.
When did Wu Xiaomei learn to tell fortunes from a distance?
The words fell.
The glass door not far away was pushed open, and a tall and upright figure came into view.
The man was wearing a dark blue casual suit with the collar half open. The cold, pale light shone on his stern profile, and he exuded an innate elegance and nobility, like a god, making people dare not approach or profane him.
He lowered his head slightly, his deep black eyes gazing calmly ahead. When they fell upon a certain young girl, the coldness in his eyes instantly contained a thousand stars, drawing the viewer in.
"..."
Lou Ying narrowed her eyes slightly, quietly observing Shang Shiyan.
I had only seen the photos before and thought they were alright.
I saw it with my own eyes.
Tsk tsk tsk.
He certainly has a face that can seduce women; no wonder Miss Wu fell for him.
"..."
Jiang Jibai and Song Mingji's pupils dilated as they stared intently at Shang Shiyan.
Seemingly lost in thought.
The old man seems a bit different today.
Did you dress up specially?
She looks several years younger.
"Fog."
Shang Shiyan stepped forward with a smile, but when his gaze fell on the "man" beside her, his smile gradually froze and finally disappeared.
Is he Lou Ying?
He looked to be in his early twenties, dressed like a college student, full of energy, sunny and handsome.
Compared to him, I do look a bit old.
but--
Would Wuwu like a boy like that?
"Are you getting impatient?"
Shang Shiyan stared coldly at Lou Ying, then brazenly grasped Pei Jinwu's hand, his entire body bristling with thorns.
"good."
Pei Jinwu responded casually and introduced them to each other: "Lou Ying, Shang Shiyan."
"Master Shang?"
Lou Ying's lips curled up, a mischievous smile spreading across his face. He said sarcastically, "I know, Miss Wu mentioned you to me before."
"Is that so?"
Shang Shiyan paused slightly, looking down at the girl with a hint of surprise, a little thrill in his heart.
"yes."
Lou Ying crossed her arms, tilted her chin up, and said indifferently, "Little Sister Wu said you're old, have a bit of money, and—"
Before she could finish speaking, Pei Jinwu suddenly covered her mouth.
"No, let me explain."
Pei Jinwu stared at Shang Shiyan with a guilty look on her face.
She had just met Shang Shiyan when she was "complaining" to Lou Ying.
The man was indeed very attentive at the time, and there was good reason to suspect that he had ulterior motives.
Who knows—
Lou Ying actually dared to expose Shang Shiyan's shortcomings in front of her.
"..."
Shang Shiyan's expression was gloomy, not because the little girl was complaining that he was old.
Instead, it was his misty mist that was now in close contact with Lou Ying.
Lou Ying's lips actually touched her palm.
He never even touched it!
"I understand, no explanation needed."
Shang Shiyan frowned deeply, pulled the girl back to his side, and looked down at Lou Ying from his height advantage, his thin lips curving slightly: "Wuwu's friend is my friend. It's normal for friends to tease each other."
"Mr. Shang is so hospitable."
Lou Ying rolled her eyes and continued, "But come to think of it, you haven't known Miss Wu for very long, have you?"
“She and I are different. If you calculate the time, it’s at least ten years.”
"Ten years."
Lou Ying raised an eyebrow, a half-smile on her face, and said, "We've done so many things together, shared the same room, slept in the same bed, and almost died together."
"..."
With each sentence Lou Ying spoke, Shang Shiyan's face darkened further.
Jiang Jibai and Song Mingji: "..."
Wind Walk, Wind Stop: "..."
The four of them cautiously sized up the two, sensing an intense tension between them.
This childhood sweetheart came on strong, repeatedly embarrassing Shang Shiyan.
If it were any other man, he probably would have already exploded.
He can endure it.
"It did take quite a long time."
Shang Shiyan quickly composed himself, a faint smile playing on his lips, his voice deep and magnetic: "However, I don't care about the past. From now on, Wuwu and I will have many more decades to go."
"..."
Seeing the other party's unpleasant expression, Lou Ying, who had initially been quite smug, realized that the other party's expression was unpleasant.
Upon hearing this, his smile vanished instantly.
Even after she said all that, Shang Shiyan was still able to respond with a smile.
Such stable emotions?
Is he really cold-blooded, ruthless, and capricious?
"Mr. Lou, please take a seat."
Shang Shiyan smiled politely, pulled the little girl forward, and then gestured for Jiang Jibai to sit down.
It's best to avoid having the building's shadow next to the fog.
Who would have thought?
Lou Ying moved quickly and sat down before Jiang Jibai.
The dining table is very large.
Shang Shiyan and Pei Jinwu sat next to each other, Lou Ying sat next to Pei Jinwu, followed by Jiang Jibai and Song Mingji.
"..."
Lou Ying turned her head and saw Jiang Jibai with an unhappy expression, so she rolled her eyes at him.
Jiang Jibai: "..."
very good.
If Shang Shiyan takes action, he will help.
The food has just been served.
Lou Ying then picked up her chopsticks, took a shrimp, and placed it on Pei Jinwu's plate, her attempt to curry favor was all too obvious.
"Wuwu, don't you like eating shrimp?"
"..."
Pei Jinwu gripped her chopsticks, her gaze fixed on Lou Ying's face, a warning in her eyes.
Lou Ying: "..."
I didn't see it.
hey-hey.
"Thank you, Mr. Lou." Shang Shiyan put down his chopsticks, slowly peeled the shrimp, and put it back on the plate. He said calmly, "Wuwu doesn't like peeling shrimp shells. I've always peeled them for her."
"..."
Lou Ying was embarrassed; how come she hadn't noticed before?
"oh."
Lou Ying refused to admit defeat and picked up the ice cream next to her, placing it happily next to Pei Jinwu, "Wuwu, then you should try this."
Wuwu loves ice cream the most, she remembers that.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lou."
Shang Shiyan calmly removed the ice cream, his voice low and distant: "Wuwu's stomach hasn't been feeling well lately, so she can't eat anything cold."
"..."
Lou Ying was a little angry and looked at Wu Xiaomei.
This is her favorite flavor, so she definitely won't listen to Shang Shiyan's arrangements.
"..."
Pei Jinwu stared intently at the ice cream, and after a few seconds, her clear eyes looked at Shang Shiyan.
"Good girl." Shang Shiyan patted the little girl's head and coaxed her softly, "Eat when you feel better, okay?"
"oh."
Pei Jinwu responded dejectedly and ate the shrimp in silence.
"???"
Lou Ying's pupils dilated as she stared in disbelief at the little girl who was as docile as a cat.
Oh no, oh no.
The king of the Southern Continent, damn it, fell into a pit of men.
