"OUCH!"

Leng Sha Sha cried out as her hands instinctively let go of Liu Ergou.

Seizing the opportunity, Liu Ergou immediately pulled his head back. Seeing the light of day again, he took a deep, shuddering breath. In just a few short moments, he had experienced suffocation twice.

Terrible! Truly terrible!

Lu Xiaoyu scoffed, "Hmph! Sha Sha, aren't you going a bit too far? Doing this... right in front of me..."

Before she could finish, Leng Sha Sha cut her off.

"Too far?" she retorted. "I wasn't going too far at all! It was just a hug. Nothing happened. Why are you so petty?"

Leng Sha Sha's words made Lu Xiaoyu so furious she could barely see straight. She shot to her feet, ready to deal with Leng Sha Sha, but Liu Ergou stopped her.

"Alright, alright, both of you stop messing around. Let's eat!"

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoyu gave a cold snort. However, she complied and quietly sat down to eat.

Leng Sha Sha playfully swatted Liu Ergou. "Hmph, you're so annoying. You don't even take my side!"

After that, she said no more, lowering her head to eat.

Since all five of them were focused on their food, no one chatted, and the meal was over quickly. Liu Ergou had eaten the most; nearly all the dishes on the table had ended up in his stomach. The one who ate the least was Leng Sha Sha. She had only taken a few bites at the beginning before putting down her chopsticks. Propping her chin in her hands, she simply gazed at Liu Ergou as he ate.

The moment Liu Ergou finished, Leng Sha Sha eagerly stepped forward, hooking her arm through his.

"Okay, handsome, you've finished eating! Let's hurry up and go. You need to treat me!"

However, her words had barely faded when Zhu Qiu Shui leaped up and grabbed Liu Ergou's other arm.

"No way, Sha Sha! This time, he can't go with you. He has to treat me first!"

Seeing Zhu Qiu Shui's reaction, Leng Sha Sha's face filled with surprise. She hadn't expected the usually quiet Zhu Qiu Shui to suddenly jump into the fray. This was truly unexpected.

For a moment, Liu Ergou became a coveted prize, fought over by Leng Sha Sha and Zhu Qiu Shui. Watching the two of them vie for him, Liu Ergou found he wasn't very interested in either.

What really interested him was Zhao Xuelan, who stood off to the side. She was icy and arrogant.

Conquering her would bring a huge sense of accomplishment.

With that, Liu Ergou set his target. I'll make my move on Zhao Xuelan today.

He turned to the two women clinging to him. "Alright, you two, don't be so anxious. Both of you just have minor ailments; it's nothing serious. Sha Sha, you just have a deficiency of qi and blood. If you stop taking those diet pills, you'll start to feel better."

"And Qiu Shui, your condition is very stable. I'm not exaggerating when I say you won't have to worry for the next two years. So neither of you is urgent."

"Xue Lan's condition is more severe. From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, her spirit has been injured, so I need to treat her first!"

As Liu Ergou spoke, a shocked expression appeared on Zhao Xuelan's face. I can't believe it... after all that fighting, he actually chose me.

But before she could be happy for even three seconds, Lu Xiaoyu suddenly threw her arms around Liu Ergou.

"Er Gou, did you forget you have things to do this afternoon? Time is tight. You don't have time to treat anyone. Come back with me first, and we can deal with it after our business is finished!"

Liu Ergou was taken aback by her words and couldn't help but look up at Lu Xiaoyu.

What is going on? Why is she suddenly trying to stop me? But her opinion doesn't matter right now. I'm the one who calls the shots.

Liu Ergou decisively waved his hand. "My business isn't urgent. Treating her is!"

"Don't say another word. That's the plan for this afternoon!"

His words were undeniable, leaving Lu Xiaoyu momentarily speechless.

His declaration also surprised Zhao Xuelan. All this time, she had assumed Liu Ergou was just some pretty boy kept by Lu Xiaoyu, who would never dare to defy her. If Lu Xiaoyu told him to go east, he would never dare go west! But that didn't seem to be the case at all.

As Zhao Xuelan's curiosity grew, Lu Xiaoyu was starting to panic.

What in the world is happening? He just met my three best friends, and he's already charmed them all away?

And I have a very clear feeling that if Liu Ergou really goes with Zhao Xuelan this afternoon, I might lose him for good! There are three of them... the old saying is true, two fists are no match for four hands, let alone six! I wouldn't stand a chance. No, I have to think of something. I can't let him go with Zhao Xuelan.

Her eyes darted around, and an idea suddenly struck her.

It might be a terrible idea... but the arrow is already notched. I have to try.

With that, Lu Xiaoyu leaned close to Liu Ergou's ear and whispered, "Liu Ergou, if you dare go with them this afternoon... you just wait and see how I'll tattle on you to Shuang Yue! How are you going to explain yourself then? You could talk until you're blue in the face and still not explain this away!"

Her words made Liu Ergou's eyes fly open in shock.

How did I never realize how malicious this woman could be? I just thought she was difficult to get along with. I never imagined she was this venomous!

Although he and Lu Shuangyue were well and truly a couple, if she found out he was improperly involved with other women, then most likely...

The thought made Liu Ergou shiver.

This woman is utterly vicious.

He let out a long sigh and whispered back, "Alright, alright, you win. I'm scared of you. I'll go back with you this afternoon. I won't go find those three. I'll deal with them later, alright?"

Hearing Liu Ergou finally change his mind, Lu Xiaoyu nodded in satisfaction.

As expected, I'm the most brilliant one! Only I could have come up with such a perfect plan!
