Liang Shuang stared blankly at Luo Yan, who seemed lost in thought. She called to her, but received no response. "I'm leaving now," Liang Shuang said, heading back to her dorm to edit videos.
"Um, thank you! I'll treat you to dinner tonight," Luo Yan said, snapping out of her daze after Liang Shuang left. She decided to treat her to dinner as a token of her gratitude.
Liang Shuang didn't refuse. Luo Yan also invited Jiang Xiaoguo and Duan Jiabao.
They decided to have a "truth session" that night. After get off work, because he had to drive Duan Jiabao and Jiang Xiaoguo, Zhao Tianhao didn't drive his sports car. He had his driver take them in a stretched Maybach.
The three of them sat in the back, separated from the front by a partition.
Although the driver was hypnotized by Zhao Tianhao, he still wanted a female driver; otherwise, he felt uncomfortable doing things in the car.
Even though the partition was soundproof.
The place Luo Yan was treating them to dinner was the same old place.
After Zhao Tianhao and his two companions got out of the car, Zhao Tianhao was about to tell the driver to go back when a phone call changed his mind.
"You guys eat, I won't go. I have something to take care of."
"Ah, you're not eating with us?" Duan Jiabao said reluctantly. Hearing the noise outside, Luo Yan and Liang Shuang, who had been waiting, also came out.
"Brother Hao," Liang Shuang called him in public, referring to him as "Master."
"Okay, you guys eat," Zhao Tianhao waved, kissed Duan Jiabao and Liang Shuang on the lips, then ruffled Luo Yan's and Jiang Xiaoguo's hair before leaving.
The four women sat at a table, their thoughts quite complicated.
Liang Shuang was simply thinking about makeup.
Duan Jiabao was thinking about how he hadn't told Luo Yan and Jiang Xiaoguo that the woman from that night was Liang Shuang. Now, Zhao Tianhao's public kiss undoubtedly confirmed that Liang Shuang was his woman.
Duan Jiabao regretted not speaking up. She had considered that Jiang Xiaoguo and Luo Yan's relationship with Liang Shuang was only so-so, and she was afraid that revealing the truth would alienate them and make them angry. She had become "sisters" with Liang Shuang, so she hadn't taken the initiative to tell the truth.
"They shouldn't blame me, right? They shouldn't," Duan Jiabao thought.
Jiang Xiaoguo was thinking about Zhao Tianhao's intimacy with her. Of course, she herself enjoyed Zhao Tianhao's intimacy.
But this intimacy didn't seem to be because of Duan Jiabao, nor because of Luo Yan; it was simply because she was Jiang Xiaoguo.
That's why.
But why? Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't understand. Did he have a crush on her? No way. A hint of joy appeared on Jiang Xiaoguo's shy face.
Luo Yan, on the other hand, was encouraging herself. She decided to confront the two women she knew so far—her two roommates, one of whom was her best friend.
Anyway, since she was going to pursue Zhao Tianhao, she would have to face them sooner or later, and they would find out sooner or later too.
So she might as well make it clear beforehand. No matter how they targeted her, Luo Yan was determined not to give up.
Yes, to anyone, this idea wouldn't seem wrong: to become the new girlfriend of a man who already has a girlfriend…
Any woman would be very bothered if her man had another woman; it was practically a provocation. Let alone targeting her, even extreme measures would be understandable.
Unfortunately, even the vast majority aren't absolute; there are always exceptions.
"Um, let me toast Liang Shuang first. Thank you, thank you for helping me out today," Luo Yan said, breaking the silence with a toast. "What's wrong? What's wrong?" Duan Jiabao and Jiang Xiaoguo asked with concern after the two women finished their drinks.
Luo Yan briefly explained what happened that afternoon.
"Ah? How can there be such disgusting people?" Duan Jiabao said angrily.
"Hey, are you alright, Shitou? Were you hurt?" Jiang Xiaoguo asked with concern.
"I'm fine. The bad guy's been arrested by the police."
"I talked to Hao-ge this afternoon. He should take care of that person. After all, you're his sister."
Liang Shuang didn't hide anything from Zhao Tianhao. She texted him about it as soon as she got back to the dorm.
Liang Shuang's heart and soul were completely focused on Zhao Tianhao. She wouldn't hide anything from him anyway, especially since this involved his sister.
Whether this sister was a "god-sister," a "sister in love," or whatever,
And whether she was respectable or not, as long as she was Zhao Tianhao's sister, that was enough.
So Liang Shuang told him immediately.
Zhao Tianhao said he would handle it. Only then did Liang Shuang feel relieved and continue working on her beauty videos.
Ever since learning about the mysterious deaths of Chen Zhuo's family, she knew Zhao Tianhao wasn't a soft-hearted person. After she told Zhao Tianhao, that sleazy man, unsurprisingly, wouldn't have a good ending.
Since following Zhao Tianhao, even she seemed to have become ruthless. She didn't care about one life, or even several. If it were before, she would have been terrified.
Liang Shuang's guess was correct. That man indeed didn't have a good ending.
He was directly given a large amount of aphrodisiac and thrown into a pigsty.
When he was almost dead from exhaustion, and just as he regained consciousness, he was thrown to a hungry Tibetan mastiff.
So he could witness his own being torn apart before he died.
Zhao Tianhao never showed any mercy to anyone who dared to lay a finger on his woman. After hearing Liang Shuang's words, Luo Yan fell silent. She wasn't stupid; she naturally knew that her brother, Zhao Tianhao, would definitely handle this matter.
It was precisely because of Zhao Tianhao's doting affection that she was infatuated with and enjoyed. That's why she fell in love with Zhao Tianhao.
Luo Yan also grew up in a single-parent family; her father died in a car accident a long time ago.
Like Jiang Xiaoguo, she was raised by her mother, having grown up without a father.
Almost all children raised in single-parent families tend to like older people and enjoy the feeling of being cared for.
This is what people often call a "father complex."
So Luo Yan fell for him. She liked how Zhao Tianhao would help her catch enemies and give her an advantage when playing games, and in real life, he would take her out for delicious food, buy her clothes, and make her happy.
Whether in games or in real life, she enjoyed Zhao Tianhao's doting on her.
Of course, while she liked him, this wasn't the reason she decided to become a mistress. She was still influenced by Qiao Yingzi.
This led her to make concessions.
After a moment of silence, Luo Yan looked up at Duan Jiabao and Liang Shuang and said seriously, "I want to be my brother's woman."
After saying this, Luo Yan lowered her head, not daring to look at Duan Jiabao. She was mentally prepared to be scolded and questioned.
But after waiting for so long, no one spoke. What was going on? Were they stunned by her words? Luo Yan wondered.
"Really? Really?" Duan Jiabao was genuinely surprised. After the surprise came overwhelming joy.
"That's great, Shitou, now we can be together forever, haha!" Hearing Duan Jiabao's sincere voice, Luo Yan looked up and asked incredulously, "Dabao, aren't you angry with me? I, I'm going to steal your man, not steal, it's just, it's just..."
Just as Luo Yan was still trying to subtly explain her willingness to be a mistress, Duan Jiabao excitedly interrupted, "I'm angry? Why should I be angry? My husband said he has many women, and told me not to be jealous, to listen to him, and to get along harmoniously with his women. Besides, you're my best friend! I'm overjoyed! Hearing this news, I'm so happy!"
Looking at Duan Jiabao's silly grin and her clearly unusual thought process...
Luo Yan desperately wanted to know why Zhao Tianhao had chosen her as his girlfriend.
However, seeing Duan Jiabao's genuine acceptance of her, Luo Yan still felt a pang of guilt.
She thought to herself, "Don't worry, I won't compete with you. As long as my brother is willing to accept me, I'm willing even without a formal title."
Thinking this, Luo Yan became even more determined. Then, she nervously looked at Zhao Tianhao's other woman, Liang Shuang, wondering if she accepted or disliked her.
Liang Shuang was not an easy person to get along with.
"Don't look at me. My girlfriend has already accepted you. My disapproval is useless. Besides, the host likes you so much, he'll definitely accept you," Liang Shuang said, noticing there were no other customers around, just their table.
And given the current situation, she understood that Zhao Tianhao was definitely aiming to take all four girls from their dormitory in one fell swoop.
So sooner or later, he would find out her identity.
