Female-dominated society: After becoming fake young ladies, the older sisters stopped pretending.

"Sister Zhixia, I'm here!"

Before he could even wonder, Shen Yan quickly called out in response.

He then hurriedly helped Gu Wanwan straighten her clothes, and solemnly instructed her:

"Stay in your room and don't make a sound. No matter what happens, don't let out a single peep."

"Did you hear me clearly?!"

"Oh, oh!" Gu Wanwan tugged at her clothes and nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing Shen Yan's flustered appearance, she had already guessed the identity of the newcomer.

She's most likely Shen Yan's girlfriend, probably here to ask him out on a date.

Thinking of this, Gu Wanwan subconsciously felt a pang of envy and resentment.

Why is that girl outside so lucky?

She actually managed to win over such an incredibly handsome man like Shen Yan! How can there be such a huge difference between women?!

Even though she managed to gain a sliver of Shen Yan's affection by taking advantage of his blindness, she could only do so in the shadows, unable to see the light of day.

Otherwise, look at her now that the Empress has arrived; she doesn't even have the right to stay by Shen Yan's side.

Seeing that the girl was indeed well-behaved, Shen Yan gently patted her head and ruffled her hair.

"Good girl, there will be many more rewards like this in the future. I'll go now."

After saying that, Shen Yan gently touched her pink lips and then quickly left.

Gu Wanwan stood rooted to the spot, touching her lips as she stared blankly at Shen Yan's retreating figure.

When the crisp sound of the door closing rang out, her thoughts were gradually pulled back, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

Gu Wanwan, Gu Wanwan, what more could you possibly want?

Just as Wanxing said, Young Master Yan was able to keep them by his side and even favor them.

This is already an immense blessing!

In the past, she wouldn't have dared to even dream of doing something like this.

Having figured this out, a light rekindled in Gu Wanwan's eyes.

She pursed her lips, savoring the warmth of the moment, and smiled wistfully.

At the same time, Shen Yan had just run to the second-floor stairwell when he met Shen Zhixia's gaze from below.

Shen Zhixia's eyes were bloodshot, and she exuded an astonishing aura of ferocity!

Even though it was summer, Shen Yan felt like he was about to freeze, and broke out in a cold sweat!

"Zhi... Sister Zhixia, what brings you here?"

He felt like he'd been caught cheating...

Oh no, it's not a feeling, it's that I'm about to be arrested!

What a coincidence!

He had previously thought that Shen Zhixia was just joking when she said she would come to see him when she had free time.

After all, she didn't go to the dock or the company for two months during the summer vacation, so she must have a lot of things to deal with now.

However, if she were to come normally, even if she saw the Gu sisters, it wouldn't be a problem; he could just coax them away.

The main problem is that Gu Wanxing is still in bed this time. If Shen Zhixia finds out, Gu Wanxing will probably have to pretend to be ginseng or fish bait.

No, we can't let her go upstairs!

But Shen Zhixia didn't reply. She just stood there coldly at the bottom of the stairs, gazing at Shen Yan from afar.

The terrifying killing intent honed through long years of fighting surged forth continuously, as if to freeze the space itself!

Shen Yan was so intimidated by her powerful aura that he dared not utter another sound, his mind racing with warnings!

What's wrong with Sister Zhixia? Why has she become so scary?!

Did she know everything?!

Shen Yan was startled, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart.

But how did she know?!

Could it be that she possesses superhuman eyesight and superhuman hearing...?

and many more!

Clothing store clerk!

Shen Yan suddenly remembered that this shop assistant was her all-seeing eye and all-hearing ear!

Damn it, he actually forgot.

These shop assistants are all employees of the Shen family. In addition to providing him with services, they will definitely pay attention to what is happening around him.

This way, they can sometimes report to the Shen family and receive some extra bonuses!

Shen Yan now wished he could slap himself hard!

How could he forget something so important?!

Beauty really can lead people astray!

It wouldn't have mattered if he had forgotten, since he initially just felt sorry for Gu Wanwan and the others and wanted to get them some nice clothes to wear.

This is normal. Even if Shen Zhixia came, she wouldn't care about those tens of thousands of yuan at all.

But in the end, he couldn't resist the temptation!

He didn't want to go out when it was 37 degrees Celsius outside, and he didn't want to go out when it was 37 degrees Celsius inside either.

There's nothing we can do now, we just have to accept it!

The atmosphere froze for a moment, and Shen Yan didn't dare to look Shen Zhixia in the eye.

He was like a deflated balloon, slumped against the wall.

Ah!

Seeing this, Shen Zhixia's lips curled into a self-deprecating smile, and the bloodshot in her eyes became even more pronounced!

It seems her precious Xiaoyan has already guessed why she came here.

That's wonderful!

She's only been gone a few days?

Shen Yan brought other cats to his home, and they were two damned stray cats!

1.6 meters tall, a legal loli.

Ah!

The thought of the height and appearance described by the shop assistant made Shen Zhixia increasingly unable to control her anger!

Those two short, stout girls, do they even deserve it!

The next second, Shen Zhixia closed her eyes and gritted her teeth to suppress her anger.

When she opened her eyes again, she slowly walked towards Shen Yan step by step.

She wanted Shen Yan to tell her the reason in person, and then she would personally throw the two stray cats into the sea!

Do not!

Before throwing them away, give them a special treat so they'll remember their mistake even in death!

The crisp sound of footsteps echoed in the stairwell, pulling Shen Yan's thoughts back to the present.

As Shen Zhixia's tall figure walked towards him step by step, Shen Yan's hand holding the handrail trembled.

This scene reminded him of a ghost movie filmed by people who were living a comfortable life.

Shen Zhixia's current state feels ten times more terrifying than Kayako's!

Shen Yan could already imagine his miserable end: being locked in a dark room, day and night...

As for Gu Wanwan and the others, the best outcome would probably be a quick and painless end.

He himself didn't care, but Gu Wanwan and the others shouldn't have ended up like this.

Ultimately, it was his fault.

If he stays true to himself, it doesn't matter if Shen Zhixia comes.

He couldn't, and shouldn't, use her up and then push her out as a punching bag for Shen Zhixia.

"Little words"

Before anyone knew it, Shen Zhixia had already walked up to Shen Yan.

Although her voice was calm, the anger it contained was so intense that even a deaf person could hear it!

A slender, pale finger gently lifted Shen Yan's chin, bringing his gaze level with that of the finger's owner.

Shen Zhixia stood one step below Shen Yan, at a height that allowed the two to look at each other at an equal level.

Looking into Shen Yan's uneasy eyes, Shen Zhixia became even more convinced of what the shop assistant had said, and her eyes showed even more pain.

Why?!

Why did Shen Yan bring those two stray cats back?!

Did she fail to satisfy him?!

Or perhaps those two stray cats can do backflips?!

As she pondered this, Shen Zhixia gradually increased the pressure in her hands, causing Shen Yan's brows to furrow.

"Sister Zhixia, it hurts~"

Shen Yan couldn't help but gasp softly and reached out to hold Shen Zhixia's hand.

But the next second, Shen Zhixia suddenly moved closer and pulled Shen Yan into her arms.

Her scarlet eyes were fixed on him, and she asked in a cold voice:

"Why?!"

"Xiaoyan, why would you rather go to them than call me? I'm your girlfriend!"
