I never expected Gu Wan’er to be so arrogant and give no face at all. She really doesn’t seem to understand her current situation.
Yu Xiaoduo, let’s see how you help her now.
Yu Xiaoduo didn’t doubt Pan Wei’s words. Most of the young people sitting here are around thirty years old, holding important positions in their family companies. If Ye Shishi really raises the flag, then no one will do business with the Gu family anymore—at least in Longhai City, they’d be struggling to move forward.
That said, if you don’t give me face, why should I give you face? Eat shit and die.
Gu Wan’er didn’t even acknowledge it. She turned to Ye Shishi and said, “So you sent someone I’ve already beaten to talk to me?”
Pan Wei’s eyes widened instantly. That woman’s mouth has been really well trained by Yu Xiaoduo—she’s merciless!
Ye Shishi raised her hand, and Pan Wei backed down reluctantly, but his eyes looked like they wanted to devour Yu Xiaoduo.
As Yu Xiaoduo walked past, he muttered quietly to Pan Wei, “Idiot.”
Pan Wei was instantly furious, looking like he wanted to throw a punch but held back by some lingering shadow.
Gu Wan’er, of course, heard Yu Xiaoduo’s insult and thought to herself, Nicely said, Yu Xiaoduo. So satisfying.
The two of them sat across from Ye Shishi, but the crayfish platter wasn’t placed in the middle of the table—it was right in front of Ye Shishi. It looked like Yu Xiaoduo and Gu Wan’er weren’t getting any.
“Boss Kui,” Yu Xiaoduo called out.
A bald, burly man walked over with a smile. “Hey there, handsome.”
“Give us a serving of your signature spicy crayfish, some garlic crayfish, and a few cold dishes. She’s paying.”
Everyone: “…”
Gu Wan’er almost burst out laughing. This guy really plays by his own rules.
Boss Kui looked at Ye Shishi after hearing that.
“Eat your fill before hitting the road, huh? Fine,” Ye Shishi said, a smile appearing on her calm face. Her two little dimples showed, making her look a little cute—though her words weren’t exactly pleasant. But my man Yu isn’t one to take crap either.
Yu Xiaoduo wasn’t angry. He replied with a grin, “What do you mean by ‘hitting the road’? Now, if you said ‘hitting the sheets,’ I could work with that.”
As soon as he said that, the men around them slammed their fists on the tables and stood up, ready to teach my man Yu a lesson. How dare he be so cocky?
Lu Zhengzhi and Fu Quan were completely dumbfounded. Yu Xiaoduo actually dared to flirt with Ye Shishi? That’s a real man right there. And Gu Wan’er was sitting right next to him! How did Yu do that?
Gu Wan’er fully supported Yu Xiaoduo. Go get her. When we swap bodies later, I’ll mess her up too. She’s already embarrassed me at the company, and if my family hears about this, who knows how badly they’ll put me down.
If Yu Xiaoduo knew what she was thinking, he’d definitely exclaim, You’re even more twisted than I am.
Ye Shishi, upon hearing this, let out a pleasant, light laugh. “A lot of men want to sleep with me, but they’ve all ended up missing arms or legs. The unluckiest one still needs someone to clean up his piss and shit.”
“So what?” Yu Xiaoduo chuckled, his eyes fixed on Ye Shishi as if they had turned into a bunch of tentacle monsters.
Yu Xiaoduo’s words left the room in complete silence. He was actually going on with his little poems—basically desecrating the goddess in everyone’s heart. Immediately, someone grabbed a stool and charged at him.
Lu Zhengzhi, sitting nearby, felt like he had discovered a new world. Is this how Yu got Gu Wan’er? And trained her so well? Look at her—she’s not even mad. If this were any other woman, she’d have flipped out by now.
Gu Wan’er inwardly cheered, Yu Xiaoduo, you’re a true poet! Go get her!
Then Ye Shishi raised her arm, and the men who were itching to act stopped in their tracks.
“Gu Wan’er, this boyfriend of yours is really something. Don’t you have anything to say?” Ye Shishi asked coolly, secretly wishing she could shove the entire bucket of crayfish into his mouth.
Gu Wan’er tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled faintly. “Men are naturally flirtatious. If Miss Ye is willing to be the concubine, I can accept that.”
Yu Xiaoduo almost burst out laughing. Gu, you’re absolutely amazing. The two of us together are unstoppable—we’ll completely break Ye Shishi’s spirit.
The men around them were stunned like wooden chickens. They didn’t know if Gu Wan’er was telling the truth or not, but as men, they were damn jealous of Yu Xiaoduo. A girlfriend like Gu Wan’er openly pimps for you? How on earth did he pull that off?
Ye Shishi knew they were just messing with her. She hadn’t encountered a situation like this before, but if they thought this would break her, they were underestimating her.
“Miss Gu is indeed very generous,” Ye Shishi said with a faint smile. “But unfortunately, I’m not interested in being the concubine. I’ve always preferred being the top dog.”
At those words, several men spat out their drinks. What the hell is going on?
Yu Xiaoduo hadn’t expected Ye Shishi to turn the tables either. Looks like I underestimated her. Well, whichever of you ends up being the top or bottom, I guess I can still manage to accept it.
Ye Shishi’s counterattack caught Gu Wan’er off guard. She and Yu Xiaoduo were strategic partners—how dare Ye Shishi push it this far?
For a moment, Gu Wan’er couldn’t find a good rebuttal. She nudged Yu Xiaoduo with her leg. Are you just going to watch? Say something!
Yu Xiaoduo knew Gu Wan’er couldn’t easily respond without lowering herself.
“What’s there to argue about?” he said. “Whether someone ends up top or bottom, I’m the one who decides.”
At this, the men around felt like Yu Xiaoduo was just asking for a beating. There aren’t many beautiful women in Longhai City to begin with—one finally showed up, then another—and now you want to claim both? How can you be so bold?
Ye Shishi’s eyes narrowed. “When women are talking, what gives a man the right to interrupt?”
Whoa, even Bai Jie wasn’t this cocky.
“Miss Gu, if you want to play, then I’ll play along to the end,” Ye Shishi said, turning her focus back to Gu Wan’er after shutting down Yu Xiaoduo.
Gu Wan’er wasn’t about to back down. “I’m happy to oblige.”
“Good. You’ve got guts!”
Yu Xiaoduo really wanted to interject—neither of you actually has guts, you know.
Just then, Boss Kui came up with the crayfish. Yu Xiaoduo didn’t hold back—he put on his gloves and dug in. You have to eat well to have the energy to think.
Meanwhile, Ye Shishi took off her gloves and said softly, “Miss Gu, you still have a chance to sign the port project. But whether you actually sign it depends on your skills.”
“Miss Ye, I had a prior agreement with Mr. Liang. You stepping in to block it doesn’t sit right by any standard.”
Ye Shishi let out a low laugh and whispered, “You should know that the Ye family is the lead on this project. If the other two want to transfer their shares, they need the Ye family’s permission.”
Gu Wan’er was taken aback. Such a tyrannical clause? I’ve read the contract—there’s nothing like that. Did you just make that up?
Yu Xiaoduo, peeling a crayfish, said calmly, “Miss Ye is quite clever. You directed and acted in this little drama yourself. Bravo.”
Gu Wan’er looked at Yu Xiaoduo in confusion.
“What are you trying to say now, Mr. Yu?” Ye Shishi said with a dismissive whisper.
“I was wondering earlier why you didn’t show up right away after returning to the country. Now I get it. You knew about Wan’er’s situation, so you had Liang Xing pretend to transfer the project and then called it off at the critical moment, forcing her to play your game, didn’t you?” Yu Xiaoduo hadn’t understood it before, but when Ye Shishi said what she just did, it all clicked.
