However, her earth-shattering "declaration of being a looks-obsessed person" was met with an eerie silence from the three people opposite her.
Ye Nian'an: "..."
Chu Xin'er: "..."
Leng Siqing: "..."
He's smart, has a good business sense, can keep her in check, and is also handsome.
Isn't this just reading out Ye Sheng's ID number?!
They're not completely unrelated, they're exactly the same!
Even Chu Xin'er, who enjoyed arguing with Ye Sheng, had to admit one thing—
This guy really inherited the excellent genes of Ye Xiang and Jin Xiangyu.
He is indeed very handsome!
It's fair to say that none of the three Ye brothers are ugly!
Anyone of them could make a living based on their looks!
The only difference is their personalities!
"no……"
Chu Xin'er couldn't hold back any longer. She looked at Shen Shuling, who was still lost in her own fantasy and oblivious to everything, and tentatively asked, "Shuling, what you're saying sounds like... it's Ye Sheng, doesn't it?"
"puff--"
Shen Shuling almost spat out the tea she had just drunk.
She coughed violently several times, her bright and beautiful face instantly turning bright red, whether from choking or embarrassment, it was hard to tell.
"Which word I said has anything to do with Ye Sheng?!"
"Is that cleverness? That's called being a cunning businessman! He's full of bad intentions!"
"Does he think he can control me? That's just being rude and petty!"
"And one more thing! The most important point!"
"With my discerning eyes, you think he's handsome? What a joke! His face is at best... at best, his features are decent! He's a hundred and eight thousand miles away from being 'handsome to the core'! Even if I were blind, I would never be interested in him!"
Her impassioned, voice-broken rebuttal not only failed to clarify the situation but also sounded more like...she was embarrassed and angry, and had confessed without being asked.
Her flushed cheeks and evasive eyes were a classic example of a "slap in the face but it's actually good" moment.
Ye Nian'an watched with amusement. She slowly picked up her teacup, took a sip, and added insult to injury.
“Shuling, there’s a saying that goes, ‘Fate is a mysterious thing.’ Sometimes, the more you dislike someone, the more it means you care about them.”
"To me, you and my third brother seem like a classic pair of bickering lovers."
"Sister Nian'an! Even you're making fun of me!"
Shen Shuling was completely broken down.
She stomped her foot, her face burning hot enough to fry an egg, and she could barely speak her explanation.
"I...I'm not with him! Our horoscopes don't match, our elements clash! It's impossible for us in this lifetime!"
"Oh~~"
Ye Nian'an and Chu Xin'er both drew out their words in unison.
It seems like things are looking promising!
What's this called?
This is what they call "saying no with your mouth, but your body says yes"!
Seeing Shen Shuling's embarrassed and angry expression, as if she wanted to disappear into the ground, everyone laughed even harder.
Third brother, you've really struck it lucky.
You actually managed to "pick up" such a beautiful, charming, cool, and wild gem of a girl.
I wonder what kind of wonderful expression Ye Sheng will have when he finds out that Shen Shuling heard the "jumping into the well" vow he made.
I'm getting more and more excited!
...
"How could I possibly like that bastard Ye Sheng!"
On her way home, Shen Shuling pedaled her bicycle with all her might, feeling indignant all the while.
"Smart? Has a business mind? What does that have to do with Ye Sheng? He's just a speculator, a capitalist who'll get caught sooner or later!"
"You think you can subdue me? Give me a break! He's just being petty and narrow-minded! I could send him to the hospital for three days with one punch!"
"And, handsome?! Handsome my ass!"
Shen Shuling grew angrier the more she thought about it, and her feet stomped rapidly.
However, Ye Sheng's playful, almond-shaped eyes, his high-bridged nose, and his thin lips that always held a mischievous smile suddenly flashed into her mind...
Cough cough!
Shen Shuling shook her head violently, trying to banish the dangerous image from her mind.
It's all because of those two bad friends, Ye Nian'an and Chu Xin'er! It must be their psychological suggestion! It must be!
She was caught in a mental battle, so engrossed in arguing with herself that she didn't even notice that it was getting dark.
In order to take a shortcut home earlier, she turned her bicycle into a secluded alley that she rarely took and had no streetlights without thinking.
The old alley was narrow and deep, with mottled walls on both sides and a damp, musty smell in the air.
The moment she turned into the alley, several dark figures who had been squatting in the corners smoking at both ends of the alley stood up simultaneously and exchanged a knowing, malicious glance.
"Wow, this girl's outfit is really stylish!"
"Look at that bicycle, it's a Phoenix brand! It's worth a lot of money!"
"That face, that figure...tsk tsk, we're in for a treat tonight!"
Three thugs, with lewd smiles on their faces, blocked Shen Shuling's path from both the front and the back.
Shen Shuling's heart skipped a beat, and she knew something was wrong.
She gripped the brakes tightly, her toes barely touching the ground, and a cold, wary glint flashed in her eyes.
"Brothers, is there something you need?"
Her voice was calm, without the slightest tremor.
The leader of the thugs whistled in a sleazy manner, stubbed out his cigarette on the wall, and said, "Little sister, don't be afraid. We're just a bit short on cash and want to 'borrow' some money from you."
As he spoke, his gaze roamed over her without restraint.
