Chapter 1017: Chapter 988: The Workplace Beauty's Request, Teetering on the Edge of Self-Destruction with Wild Attempts!_1
Inside the bustling Howling Wolf Bar.
On the most ordinary booth, three stunning beauties gathered.
One wore a white blouse, black stockings, and high heels as professional attire, radiating the mature charm of a career woman.
Another dressed in a pink sling skirt, flesh-colored stockings clinging tightly to her skin, exuding the pure yet desirable beauty of a young girl.
The last one was even more eye-catching, with her explosive figure, unique pink enchanting eyes, a pair of white python beautiful legs faintly showing under the black slit dress, crossing each other, every inch of skin releasing astonishing charm, and those sultry, rosy lips that left people in longing and fascination.
Countless men looked this way with envy and longing, wishing they could sit here and chat with the three women.
Even being a bit closer to take a glance would be a feast for the eyes.
Unfortunately, there was already a handsome young man with an extraordinary appearance sitting here, meaning they had no chance whatsoever.
However, this young master was completely ignoring the sultry woman in the black dress sitting opposite him; instead, he was chatting animatedly with the other two beauties, laughing from time to time.
Luo Yu's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the woman in the black dress opposite him, and he noticed that even though he was neglecting her, she still wore a smile, as if she didn't care at all about his somewhat impolite behavior.
This made him even more certain in his heart; this woman must have an agenda approaching him.
Otherwise, no one could tolerate such treatment.
But what could her purpose be?
Luo Yu was puzzled for a moment.
Thinking she might want to harm him didn't seem right, as he couldn't sense the slightest hint of murderous intent.
To say she had no intentions towards him also didn't fit, as he could feel she was struggling to hide a restless emotion.
What exactly was going on?
Luo Yu felt his IQ was always on point, yet he couldn't figure out what this woman opposite him was thinking.
It couldn't possibly be that she was lusting after his body, could it?
Luo Yu chuckled to himself in surprise; he wasn't that narcissistic.
If she were merely lusting after his body, after such a cold treatment by him, she would have likely lost all interest and left in a huff by now. But she hadn't.
She was still maintaining her smile.
Impressive!
Truly impressive!!!
At this point, he was also taking it as a challenge.
I'll see how long you can endure, woman.
Although the woman in the black dress was tempting, Luo Yu, while not seeing himself as any paragon of virtue, wouldn't get overly intimate before understanding her intentions; after all, men who act hastily on lust ninety-nine percent of the time do not end well.
The remaining one percent are the protagonists of novels, written nonsensically by the authors.
Compared to the mysterious woman in the black dress, the two urban beauties by his side—to tell the truth—were quite nice.
Through the conversation earlier, Luo Yu learned that Qin Lan had started her own small financial company, and Jia Lan was a nurse at a top-tier hospital, an independent woman who had maintained her single status and lived a self-sufficient life.
"Gulp!"
Luo Yu took a sip of cola and asked with a smile,
"Do you come here to relax after work every day?"
"Not at all," Jia Lan quickly explained, seemingly afraid that Luo Yu would mistake her for the kind of woman who frequented bars every day, indulging in a life of extravagance, "We just came here today because Sister Lan wasn't feeling great. We happened to be passing by and came to have a drink with her."
"Feeling down?"
Luo Yu raised an eyebrow as he looked toward Qin Lan.
From their earlier conversation, he felt that her personality leaned toward that of a strong woman, not easily swayed by trivial matters.
He grew curious.
"Jia Lan, we're having such a good time chatting, why bring that up?" Qin Lan glared at the pink-dressed beauty, then lightly told Luo Yu, "It's just some minor issues, nothing serious."
Jia Lan pouted her red lips, "I'm just explaining, afraid the young master might think we're those kinds of sisters who have nothing better to do than hang out at nightclubs."
"Look at you, acting all cheap in a hurry," Qin Lan teased with a roll of her eyes.
"Pfft!"
Jia Lan's face turned red, and she took the wineglass from the table, holding it to her lips, sipping lightly to mask her bashfulness.
Luo Yu casually said,
"Lil' Lan, if your company really runs into any problems, you can tell me right now. In our base city, there's nothing I can't handle."
"Big bro's got style!" Jia Lan cheered from the side, diverting the topic to cover her earlier shyness.
Qin Lan was taken aback. If someone else had said something like this, she would have thought they were just bragging while drunk.
And she despised that kind of pretentiousness in those wealthy playboys.
But when this man said those words, she sensed an effortless confidence in him, as if everything was under his control.
No aversion arose in her heart; in fact, her regard for him increased significantly.
What's happening to me!
Qin Lan's heart raced for an instant. She was now unsure whether it was her principles following her senses, or if the man truly was special. Her usually clear mind felt a bit muddled today.
She wondered whether it was the alcohol or the man that was intoxicating.
"Thank you for the kind offer, but it's really nothing. Just a small matter that I can handle myself," Qin Lan replied.
Ever since she was young, Qin Lan had believed she must deal with her own problems, and if she couldn't, she'd work hard to find a way but would not bother others with them.
Even though she knew the man before her was very powerful, she didn't want to trouble him.
Moreover, she feared that if he mistakenly thought she approached him for his influence, it would be too awkward.
