Chapter 116: Ambiguous Distance, Playing Hard to Get!

Page (1/3)

Shi Shaoxun leaned against the railing, staring down below. “If you ask me, these days, if a girl approaches you without chasing fame or fortune, and on top of that, she’s an exceptional doctor—she not only cured Han Han but also cured Xiao Bai! I also heard she was the top scorer in the college entrance exam at thirteen and by sixteen had earned dual master's degrees in medicine and computing. Even though her own parents doted on her like she was the center of the Pacific, she remains humble and unpretentious, living freely and making sure she doesn’t get taken advantage of. Honestly, a girl like that is rare—once you have her near, you better make her yours!”

Lu Beiqin replied coldly, “She has someone she likes.”

Shi Shaoxun was taken aback. “What? Then why did she register the marriage with you? Well, I suppose it makes sense. Such an outstanding girl would naturally have admirers. Having someone she likes is normal.”

Patting his shoulder, Shi Shaoxun said, “Brother, the road ahead is long and arduous. When the time comes, you can count on me to shed blood and sweat for you!”

Lu Beiqin shrugged off his hand. “Get lost.”

“See? You’re so fierce, girls would be scared of you!”

Lu Beiqin’s spine stiffened slightly.

Shi Shaoxun pressed on, “If you want to win over such an exceptional girl, you have to put in the effort! The most important thing is to catch her attention and pique her interest. What’s a man’s greatest charm?”

“To fight—”

Before he could finish, Shi Shaoxun raised a hand, “Enough, shut up. A man’s charm is to be graceful in the parlor, skillful in the kitchen, capable of winning girls, and warm in bed! You have to showcase your charms everywhere, but at the same time, remain mysterious and elusive, playing hard to get! When the time is right, another round of playing hard to get will surely win her over!”

Lu Beiqin was too lazy to respond and turned to leave.

Shi Shaoxun hurriedly blocked his way. “These are years of carefully accumulated experience! If you don’t believe me, I’ll tell you the most powerful secret!”

Lu Beiqin raised his eyelids and glanced at him. “Speak.”

“Show vulnerability at the right time! Girls are powerless against handsome guys who show just the right amount of weakness. It easily awakens their maternal instincts! You said she has someone she likes—if you don’t try now, you’ll lose your chance for good!”

At that moment, a small commotion arose at the entrance. A taxi had just pulled up.

Everyone here arrived in luxury cars to flaunt their status, so no one expected someone to come by taxi.

The taxi driver swallowed nervously. “Miss, are you sure this is the right address?”

Shen Chutang took out her phone to pay. “Yes, this is the place. The payment has been sent; please check.”

With that, Shen Chutang pushed open the door and stepped out. The taxi driver immediately turned and sped away.

In a place full of luxury cars, if he scratched or bumped one, he wouldn’t be able to afford the compensation!

Shen Chutang walked toward the entrance, drawing curious glances from passersby.

Someone actually showed up to a banquet in casual clothes—it was a joke!

Could she be some internet celebrity trying to get attention?

Sure enough, the security staff blocked Shen Chutang’s path. “Excuse me, ma’am, please show your invitation.”

Shen Chutang replied, “Has the Shen Xuejun family already gone inside? My invitation is with him.”

A woman passing by sneered, swaying her hips as she entered. Holding her invitation, she warned the security, “You have to be strict with people like her. Don’t let troublemakers sneak in.”

“Don’t worry, your invitation is valid. Please come in.”

The woman cast a sidelong glance at Shen Chutang, her eyes full of malice.

Shen Chutang didn’t know the woman and couldn’t understand her hostility.

But since she couldn’t enter at the moment, she had no choice but to call Shen Xuejun.

Not far away, Shen Tingting deliberately watched Shen Chutang’s misfortune and, seeing her stopped, linked arms with Liu Shuhua and walked on.

Shen Xuejun frowned at Shen Chutang’s disheveled appearance. “How embarrassing! Are you doing this on purpose? Coming to such an important occasion without even buying a proper dress?”

Following behind, Shen Duoduo said, “Uncle, she did it on purpose. I saw her go to the mall to buy clothes, but I bet she spent all the money flattering Shi family’s young lady and didn’t care about this banquet at all!”

Shen Chutang shrugged, “I really don’t care. You all forced me to come.”

Shen Xuejun’s face darkened, but seeing the security guard, he softened his expression and handed over the invitation.

The invitation bore four names; naturally, the security assumed it was for Shen Duoduo and the others, so they allowed all four inside.

Shen Duoduo smiled slyly—she had really sneaked in!

“Stop! Who is this? I don’t recall inviting you.”

Suddenly, a man’s voice rang out.

The security looked up and, seeing the eagle pin on the man’s collar, immediately showed great respect.

The man wearing the eagle pin was none other than Shi Shaoxun of the Shi family.
