"Mmm-hmm, impressive, very impressive."

The other two gestures were a bit too intimate, so Shen Lang raised his hand and gently ruffled Li Liusi's hair.

This gesture, like praising a child, made Li Liusi a little embarrassed, but she was still quite happy inside.

Longing to be cherished, she even subtly rubbed her head against Shen Lang's large palm.

"You have a phone, right?"

Shen Lang took out his own phone and said, "Let's add each other on WeChat. I'll come pick you up tonight."

"Yes, I do."

Li Liusi, flattered, took out her phone.

It was an off-brand touchscreen phone, the screen had a few cracks, probably only a few hundred yuan, possibly even second-hand.

"Heh, I thought you were going to pull out a flip phone or a senior's phone."

Shen Lang laughed, teasing her, as he added Li Liusi on WeChat.

Her ID was "Safe for the Rest of My Life," and her avatar was a golden sunflower.

"You're not an old man or an old lady, why not pick a nice ID and a cute avatar?"

Shen Lang shook his head with a smile. This unpretentious style was quite like her personality.

"Alright, hurry and go see your grandma. I need to get busy too. I'll pick you up after I'm done. Don't be silly and walk all the way back."

"Okay."

Li Liusi unbuckled her seatbelt, holding the chicken soup that still had some warmth, and stood outside the car door under the scorching sun, bowing sincerely to Shen Lang.

"Thank you, truly!"

"Go on, go on. Don't do that again next time, you're being sentimental."

Shen Lang couldn't stand a woman being so humble in front of him; he always felt like he was seeing his old socially anxious and introverted self. He quickly drove away from Xiehe Hospital.

He drove to Guoyue Hotel in the city center.

Following Xia Shuyi's instructions, Shen Lang took the opulent elevator to the 22nd floor and went straight to room 302, where he rang the doorbell.

The door was opened by a tall, well-built young man in a suit, who looked quite young, at most in his early twenties.

"Is this room 302?"

Shen Lang thought he had made a mistake and stepped back to check the room number. It was indeed room 302.

"Little Shen, that's right, come in quickly."

A joyful female voice came from inside the room. Xia Shuyi, wearing high heels, pattered out, grabbing Shen Lang's arm like a little wife, complaining teasingly.

"Why are you so late? It's almost three o'clock."

"There was traffic on the way."

"Alright, come with me, I'll introduce you to some of my friends."

Shen Lang followed Xia Shuyi into the room. The first thing he saw was a mahjong table and three rather well-off women.

"Wow, Shuyi, this guy is good!"

"Yeah, yeah, those arms, those legs, tsk tsk..."

"No wonder Shuyi has been looking so radiant lately. So she found herself a little wolf pup."

The moment the three women saw Shen Lang, their eyes gleamed.

These women were all wealthy and powerful, and their private lives were truly filled with countless men.

They could tell a man's prowess in that regard with just a glance.

That refined face, that tall stature, he was leagues better than the boy toys and personal trainers they had.

They unreservedly appraised Shen Lang from head to toe, especially his lower body, which best indicated a man's capabilities. It made the hearts of the rich women itch like a cat's claws.

"This is Sister Li, this is Sister Hong, and this is Sister Fang."

When introducing Sister Fang, Xia Shuyi whispered a reminder in Shen Lang's ear.

"Sister Fang has a lot of influence in Jianghai City. Half of the entertainment venues around here belong to her. There's no harm in getting to know them."

"Oh, I see."

"Little Shen, right? Do you play mahjong?"

Fang Li gave Shen Lang a faint, alluring look, her eyes glancing at Xia Shuyi's position. "If you do, come and play a few rounds with us."

In the past, if Shen Lang had encountered such powerful figures, he might not even have dared to speak.

Now, though there was still a hint of nervousness in Shen Lang's heart, he understood that these rich and powerful women despised meek and humble men the most.

If he chickened out at this crucial moment, he could forget about these women ever seeing him as a man again.

"Alright, then I'll play a couple of rounds with you ladies."

Shen Lang smiled and nodded, then confidently took Xia Shuyi's seat. Xia Shuyi, also smiling, sat down next to him.

The other wealthy women exchanged glances, their interest piqued by Shen Lang.

The men they usually met were all incredibly humble, so they found his confident demeanor quite appealing.

As Shen Lang shuffled the cards, he noticed these women weren't actually shuffling; they were just rubbing their own hands.

Sister Hong, especially, who was sitting next to Shen Lang, was almost overtly doing it. The rings on her hand were digging into Shen Lang's fingers, causing a slight ache.

"Sister Xia, maybe you could explain our relationship to the sisters?"

Shen Lang stopped shuffling, asking Xia Shuyi politely but with a hint of awkwardness.

"Oh, sisters, Little Shen isn't what you think."

Xia Shuyi was momentarily stunned, then eagerly explained, "He, he's my god-brother, he's not here to entertain us."

"Oh? Is, is that so?"

Sister Hong awkwardly pulled her foot back and apologized sheepishly to Shen Lang, "I'm so sorry, Little Shen, I thought you were a male escort."

"Hahaha, Sister Hong, you really have no discernment!"

Fang Li, sitting nearby, couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Shuyi isn't like us, so extravagant with her fun. How could she possibly switch partners with you?"

"Oh, I was just captivated by the little brother, you know."

Sister Hong's mood shifted quickly, and not wanting to damage her relationship with Xia Shuyi, she quickly instructed the young man who had opened the door earlier to get a bank card from her bag.

"Little Shen, please don't be angry, it was all a misunderstanding."

Sister Hong handed the bank card to Shen Lang, smiling understandingly. "There's 300,000 in this card, take it and enjoy yourself. Consider it my apology."
