“Third Brother, I don’t understand why she had no reaction?” They returned to the initial question, and Quan Hanting’s tone was heavy.

Hu Zhibei frowned, switching the phone to his other hand. “What do you mean by ‘no reaction’?”

“No tears, no tantrums.”

“Is she happy?”

“Not really.”

Hu Zhibei clicked his tongue. “Sixth Brother, the girl you’ve set your sights on seems quite complicated.”

Quan Hanting immediately agreed, “She’s unique.”

Oh, even before anything happened, he’s already protective of her? This girl must be something special!

“No reaction is the best reaction. Think about it, you’ve forcefully kissed her, and if she really hated it, she would have slapped you without a second thought. But she didn’t, what does that mean?” Hu Zhibei played the role of a life coach, guiding him patiently.

“What does it mean?” Quan Hanting nervously held his breath on the other end of the phone.

“It means she’s not rejecting you, she doesn’t dislike it, and she might even like it a little.” He said it earnestly.

“Really?”

“As real as real gold.”

Quan Hanting pondered, feeling strangely better despite his earlier frustration.

“So, what should I do next?”

“Continue using those eight tactics to maintain a constant state of attack. If once doesn’t work, then twice, and if twice doesn’t work, then three times… A virtuous woman may fear a persistent suitor, but not his sincerity!”

After ending the call, Quan Hanting brushed off his despondency. He had plenty of patience and time to gradually win her over…

“Sixth Lord,” Chu Yujiang lowered his head and reported honestly, “Miss Shen wouldn’t let me accompany her. She took a taxi and left. I followed behind, all the way to the city center. I made sure she got out of the car safely before turning back.”

“Hmm.”

Seeing that he didn’t get angry, Chu Yujiang breathed a sigh of relief and respectfully withdrew from the study.

As soon as he reached the door, a solemn voice echoed, “Summon Lushen.”

“Yes.” Chu Yujiang nodded to Ling Yun and proceeded to execute the order, inwardly mourning for someone for three seconds.

“I’m not going!” Lushen leaped back a couple of steps, warily and defensively eyeing the two men in front of him.

Chu Yujiang nodded to Ling Yun, who then proceeded to act. He lifted Lushen effortlessly, as if holding a baby chick, and carried him into the study.

Chu Yujiang had already opened the door in advance, and with a light toss, they achieved a perfect entrance!

In his heart, Lushen cursed the two of them, and his first instinct was to escape!

Unfortunately—

“Stop.”

Lushen froze, and it took him several deep breaths before he finally turned to face Quan Hanting directly.

“Sixth Brother, did you… need something?”

“You knew that Shen Wan would be at Night Paris, which is why you brought me there.” He stated it matter-of-factly, his tone resolute, leaving Lushen with no room to argue.

All he could do was force a smile and say, “It was just a coincidence…”

“Lushen!” The roar was so powerful that the overwhelming, invisible pressure made it difficult to breathe.

Lushen trembled as he wished he could shrink himself into a tiny ball, preferably with a shell. “Okay, it wasn’t a coincidence…”

“The reason.”

“Well, it was for your own good…”

“For me?” Quan Hanting sneered.

“Yeah! It’s late at night, and with her attire, showing up at a place like Night Paris, she’s definitely not a proper lady. Who knows what she might be up to inside! I was just trying to protect you…”

Quan Hanting’s focus was elsewhere, though. “How did you know she would be at Night Paris last night? Since you dared to bring me to catch her in the act, you must have had some prior information. Did you have someone follow her?!”

“I didn’t send anyone. I, uh…” Lushen belatedly covered his mouth, his eyes wide as saucers..
