Lu Shen captured the finger that was poking his nose and asked, "What else do you like about me?"
Hui Yin's mouth hung open.
Was he...cooperating with her?
Recovering instantly, she giggled and made a playful nudge at his side.
"Hubby, you joker. If I listed everything I like about you, then we would probably have to spend a year on this sofa."
"List it." He stared at her in a domineering fashion.
"..."
My lord, if you're cooperating, at least know your lines and be a little more sweet, okay? Your words sound more like an imperial decree.
"Stop teasing me." She pinched his arm, and Hui Yin exerted a little force. "Hubby, you know I like everything about you."
Lu Shen didn't seem to notice her pinch. "Everything?"
Hui Yin nodded. "Everything."
She poked his nose again.
"Yinyin!"
Startled, both of them glanced at Nian Zhen, who looked strained. "Yinyin, I want to see your room. Can you show me?"
Her hands tightly gripped the purse on her side, feeling the jewels embellished on the front dig into her palms. Nian Zhen remembered the white plastic she stuffed inside it, full of medicines she hurriedly bought from a nearby pharmacy. She felt bitter.
"Sure." Hui Yin stood up gracefully. "Hubby, you stay down here okay? This is girl's talk, so men are not allowed."
Hui Yin led Nian Zhen up to her room, and Nian Zhen immediately noticed the close distance between her room and Brother Shen. Did Brother Shen deliberately arrange this? No, it must be a coincidence. But why is his study much farther away than this slut's bedroom...
"Miss Nian, I apologize if it's a bit messy."
Hui Yin had already put her clothes on the walk-in closet, and the luggage that hinted she had just recently moved here was already out of sight. Hui Yin felt a bit surprised that not only had Lu Shen hired someone to decorate her room, he was also thoughtful enough to buy her clothes.
They were all top luxury brands, and there were still tags attached to some of them. The price on a single dress alone could not even be paid with the sum of Hui Yin's salary in a year. The Great Dragon King was still the Great Dragon King. He practically gets his angpao money from Caishen himself.
"Yinyin, your room is so beautiful." Nian Zhen glanced at around in envy, but kept her dark thoughts to herself. Outside, there was still a smile plastered across her face. "The interior decorating team did a good job."
Hui Yin raised an eyebrow. She noticed Nian Zhen's emphasis on the 'interior decorating team'. She knew that this snake was already jealous even if Lu Shen didn't personally decorate it, but she still had the energy to jab at her.
"Well, hubby was the one who hired them. They must be the best. I wish he didn't spend so much effort on my behalf," Hui Yin said casually.
Nian Zhen resolutely kept her smile. She told herself to keep her composure, that this trash was going to go away soon. This slut probably wouldn't even last a week in the villa. It was a momentary pain for a lifetime's worth of gain. For one to reach the apex, there were always minor sacrifices.
Nian Zhen took a deep breath.
She would be the one who will be at Brother Shen's side in the future. Who cares about short-lived flings? Brother Shen was a man. It was only natural.
"Yinyin, there's going to be an upcoming birthday party this week. You probably don't know him, but Wang Yong is the second young master of the Wang family. His father is the renowned lawyer, Wang Xiong. Brother Shen and I are invited, so do you want to come?"
The setting had changed, but the content and the delivery remained the same. Hui Yin had long since expected the invitation to come from her.
Hui Yin smiled. "Miss Nian, I'd love to."
