Chapter 1018: Chapter 988: The Workplace Beauty's Request, Teetering on the Edge of Self-Destruction with Wild Attempts!_2
Luo Yu smiled.
He was completely unconcerned with the woman's rejection.
On the contrary, he found that she wasn't one of those whiny creatures, possessing her own opinions.
He had originally thought that with his status, he could probably solve whatever small problems she was facing with just a word, but since she didn't want help, it wouldn't be right to hurt her self-esteem. A real man respects a woman's choices.
Some dogs just don't get the message, even when someone clearly doesn't want them around, they still awkwardly fawn over them.
That's just demeaning.
Jia Lan pursed her red lips, cradling her chin in her hands.
"You know, young master, after chatting for half a day, my sister and I have nearly spilled our guts to you, yet we know nothing about you."
"Want to know?"
Luo Yu blinked his eyes.
"Psh, who wants to know? You guys, the sons of nobility, are all no good. We sisters need to be careful."
Jia Lan pouted her red lips, her rosy cheeks and fluttering heartbeats fully betraying her denials.
Luo Yu obviously wasn't the sort of man who couldn't read the room and he teased:
"If we're no good, why would you dare to sit with me, not fearing a sheep entering a tiger's den?"
"We are not any kind of sheep, we're quite something, okay." Jia Lan waved her little fist, showing off her small canines in a fierce yet pure expression.
"Hahaha."
Luo Yu laughed without saying a word, which irritated Jia Lan to the point that her slender legs in silk stockings shook continuously. Had they been better acquainted, a kick would have already found its way under the table.
"Sis, look at him, he's awful."
Jia Lan seemed annoyed as she spoke, but she wasn't angry at all, for her eyes curved into a smiling arc.
"You probably wish he'd be a little naughtier." Qin Lan's lips curled slightly as she elegantly took a sip of her drink after gently patting her sister's shoulder.
On Luo Yu's part, he was chatting and laughing vivaciously with the two beauties.
Meanwhile, the woman in the black dress opposite him itched with frustration.
Yeah, right!
How nice!!
Flirting with other women right in front of his wife.
Good one, Luo Yu, just you wait, you'll see what's coming to you!!
She couldn't erupt just yet.
Besides, if she did and somehow turned the man off, it'd be seen as a seduction failure, and then it would be another sister's turn to step in.
She was lucky to be the first one drawn, the first one to make contact with Luo Yu.
And if she succeeded, wouldn't she be the undisputed lady of the Luo Family?
She had claimed to have the last name Luo earlier, which wasn't a problem at all.
After all, she had adapted to the life in Great Xia over the years; she knew it was normal in the past Great Xia for a woman to take her husband's surname after marriage.
Now, she was somewhat impatient.
Jealousy was one thing, but the real issue was her time limit of one month. If she couldn't hook Luo Yu in that time, then it would be another's turn to take the stage.
Essentially forfeiting her right to compete for the status of the main wife of the Luo Family.
What to do?
She glanced at the handsome man across from her, who was all smiles with the two women.
She bit her lip secretly.
Stinking man! Guarded even against his own wife, wait until you regain your memory, you're going to get it!!!
She was itching to use the Charm Skill.
But knowing that the other sisters were secretly watching, if she used her charm, that would mean instant disqualification.
Truth be told, she was baffled.
How on earth did Luo Yu manage to charm so many sisters back then?
And here she was, struggling to win one over!
She had thought dressing a bit more mature and sexy, taking advantage of their man's weakness for beauty, would surely make him fall into her trap with ease.
It turned out she was too naive.
Mistaken, terribly mistaken.
Because of her overeagerness, she had actually raised his defensive guard.
Too rash!
The ravishing beauty in the black dress was inwardly regretting, wishing she had approached the situation more coyly, pretending to accidentally come on the scene.
Setting up a damsel-in-distress situation would have been much better than being sidelined like she was now.
As for Luo Yu, he had actually been discreetly observing the lady in black all along.
He noticed a sudden look of resentment in her eyes,
A huge grudge was emanating from her.
He secretly pondered, had he done something wrong?
It didn't seem like it.
Unaware of the real situation, Luo Yu didn't understand the predicament he was in, as he kept dancing on the edge of life and death.
When he noticed the two women getting progressively more drunk, eyes hazy, about to hang all over him, the gorgeous woman's forehead vein started throbbing.
She just couldn't take it anymore.
"Young master, they're not holding up well, why don't I switch places with them, and I'll keep you company for a drink?"
"No, we can still drink."
"Yes, we're fine, who says we're not."
Qin Lan and Jia Lan suddenly showed united front, both unwilling to give up their advantageous position.
"Sss—"
The beautiful woman took a deep breath, unable to bear it anymore.
She forced a smile and said,
"I don't know why the young master favors my two sisters but neglects me."
Luo Yu chuckled softly and said, "It's not neglect."
"Rather, because you, the boss, are so graceful and charming, and I, the young master, have been weak-willed since my youth. Sitting too close might make it easy for me to commit a crime, which would be an affront to you."
This savvy response left the black-dressed beauty who had posed the direct question speechless.
Inside, she was annoyed.
I'm not afraid you'll be weak-willed; I'm worried you'll be too resolute.
Want to touch?
Just reach out and touch.
I'm your wife, for heaven's sake; how could I not cooperate?
I'm really about to be infuriated to death by this smelly man!
"The young master is really a gentleman, giggle giggle."
The black-dressed lady laughed with her red lips, very seductive, but the air around her was faintly cold.
At this moment, Qin Lan spoke up,
"Young master, we can't drink anymore, I have to go to the office early tomorrow."
"This girl is fine; she doesn't work until the afternoon, but she also needs to rest early."
Luo Yu said with a smile,
"It's getting late, time to head back."
"I'll have someone escort you home."
Seeing no sign of reluctance or longing in the man's eyes, Qin Lan felt a slight sense of loss, and Jia Lan fell silent, feeling a bit stifled.
"No, there's no need; we can just hail a cab outside. It's not far from here."
Luo Yu shook his head.
"That won't do."
"Two such enchanting beauties, who wouldn't be tempted to commit a crime? You two have drunk so much because you were with me; if something bad happens on the way back, wouldn't I be guilt-ridden for life?"
At this moment, driven by an impulse she couldn't explain, Jia Lan blurted out,
"Do you also want to commit a crime against us?"
As soon as Jia Lan said it, she regretted it, her cheeks turning red.
Qin Lan was also surprised, not expecting the girl to be so bold, but paid close attention to Luo Yu's eyes, waiting for his reply.
Luo Yu affirmed as a matter of course.
"Of course, I do."
"To be human is to have desires, not to mention I am a man, faced with two such beautiful and outstanding women."
"Only, unlike those brutes, I just know a little more about propriety, integrity, and shame."
This frank response brightened the eyes of both city beauties.
Their hearts started to race.
The mood of the black-dressed beauty next to them, however, was not so beautiful; she felt like pouncing on Luo Yu that very moment, wanting to bite the foul man in half.
Why is he so charming?
Even with amnesia, he still knows how to charm people.
Watching the two girls get all flustered and agitated by his conversation, obviously smitten,
it was unthinkable to take them home tonight, as it was only the first meeting, but who knows what could happen after a few more meetings.
The black-dressed beauty realized that she must think of a strategy; otherwise, with the man's charm, wouldn't she just have more and more competitors in the future?
Such a headache!
Having a husband too handsome seems not to be such a good thing.
"Chen Long," Luo Yu called out.
"Young master, I'm here." The man in the suit and leather shoes approached.
Luo Yu instructed, "Escort these two beauties home."
"Yes."
Chen Long gestured with his hand.
"Please, ladies."
"There's really no need."
Qin Lan waved her hand shyly,
finding the man too gentlemanly, as in the current security within the base city was indeed very good; there was no such danger.
Luo Yu nodded.
"Alright then, see you next time, if there's a chance."
"You haven't left a contact, how will we see you next time?" Jia Lan pouted and said with a light huff.
Luo Yu replied with a smile,
"Don't worry, when I want to find you, I will certainly be able to."
"Aren't you amazing," Jia Lan scoffed, tilting her reddened lips, "But what if we want to find you?"
The black-dressed beauty clenched her fists behind her back.
Furious!
Too furious!
Do you know the feeling of watching other women flirt with your men,
and even exchanging contact information?
After receiving Luo Yu's contact information, the two women left first, and Luo Yu did not linger either. He said farewell to the black-dressed beauty and quickly walked to the entrance, when he heard a noisy commotion coming from outside...
