Chapter 806: Hongyan, Femme Fatale
Lin Tian was observing the rearview mirrors but still found nothing suspicious about the vehicles behind.
"What’s wrong?"
The first to notice Lin Tian’s unease was Mei Ruyan. She turned her head to look back, but all she saw was a crowded road.
Suddenly, the cheerful atmosphere inside the car quieted down. Everyone was nervously watching Lin Tian.
"It’s nothing, just thought I saw someone I know." Lin Tian smiled, making up an excuse. Bringing up a stalker would definitely spoil the mood, and that wasn’t worth it.
"Do you want to say hi?" Xu Ning’an asked.
"Forget it, we’re still on the road, safety first." Lin Tian replied with a smile.
After hearing that, the women stopped questioning him and went back to their conversation, restoring the cheerful chatter inside the car.
Lin Tian decided it wasn’t worth worrying about whether anyone was following them; maybe it was just a trick of the mind. It was far more pleasant to listen to the laughter of the beauties in the back.
After almost half an hour of driving, they finally arrived at their destination, Xintian Square.
This was the CBD center of Kanyue City, combining shopping, dining, culture, and entertainment into an independent large business district.
Nearby Xintian Square were the Celestial Dragon Hotel and the palace.
Originally, it was named ’Wang’s Global Department Store.’
Indeed, after Lin Tian and Bai Shishi acquired it, they renamed it. In the Celestial Dragon Continent, there are more than one hundred similar squares, distributed in the centers of various mid- to high-level cities.
Later, it was renamed ’Xintian Square,’ symbolizing the establishment of a new era and a new world.
Actually, there was another meaning behind it. The ’Tian’ in ’Xintian’ referred to Lin Tian’s name.
Bai Shishi and Mei Ruyan never mentioned this, but Lin Tian was well aware of it! Otherwise, he wouldn’t have become the fourth largest shareholder here.
After parking the car, Xu Ning’an suggested having dinner first. Everyone agreed—a seafood restaurant!
The restaurant wasn’t far away, and seafood restaurants were easy to find.
Lin Tian walked in the middle, with Liou Qingcheng and Xu Ning’an on his left, and Bai Shishi and Mei Ruyan on his right.
Along the way, nearly everyone’s attention was on them, with a turn-back rate of over two hundred percent. Some even took out their phones to take pictures and videos.
Beauties of their caliber were rare in everyday life. Suddenly seeing so many would naturally grab everyone’s attention.
The power of these femme fatales was undeniable; the guys looked at Lin Tian with jealousy and resentment. Who wouldn’t envy him being surrounded by four beauties, like the moon surrounded by stars?
"Wow, so many beauties! But the guy in the middle looks a bit ugly," someone commented and couldn’t resist swallowing their saliva.
"Exactly! It’s like flowers planted on cow dung, and so many of them!"
"Just having one would make me laugh in my sleep, but he has four! Isn’t he worried about running out of energy?"
"I guess... this guy should be quite wealthy!"
"..."
Some comments were loud, others were whispered, reaching the ears of the four ladies, making them giggle.
But Lin Tian’s expression darkened; if he took off his mask, he could annihilate everyone!
Suddenly, Liou Qingcheng wrapped her arm around Lin Tian’s, her face beaming like she had tasted honey.
"Ow~"
The animosity soared even higher! Those guys looked at Lin Tian, wishing they could kill him right now and divide the beauties around him.
"You’ve attracted so many rivals; aren’t you afraid your husband might get ambushed on a dark street?" Lin Tian asked softly.
"Giggle, not at all. I believe none of them are your match," Liou Qingcheng replied with a bright smile.
"That’s truly my wife!" Lin Tian turned his head and gave her a sudden kiss on the cheek.
This scene was clearly witnessed by Bai Shishi and Mei Ruyan. Both of them glanced at him simultaneously; Lin Tian chuckled awkwardly, wondering if he could kiss them too, though it remained just a thought.
Grinding sounds...
That was the sound of surrounding onlookers clenching their teeth.
This was horribly annoying! It was as if this dog food was shoved straight into their mouths!
Lin Tian didn’t care about how people were looking at them; he swaggered while being embraced by Liou Qingcheng.
Upon entering the seafood restaurant, Lin Tian booked a private room; being stared at like that was indeed quite appetite suppressing.
Once the meal was roughly finished, they began their shopping spree.
Liou Qingcheng had talked about buying clothes earlier, and Lin Tian naively believed it.
He soon realized upon arrival that ’clothes’ was a broad term, including cosmetics, accessories, snacks, and finally clothes, pants, shoes, and hats.
In short, they strolled around the mall for three solid hours; Lin Tian’s stamina wasn’t an issue, but he was bored... a common dilemma for many men.
Initially, Lin Tian worried about Xu Ning’an’s leg, but those concerns disappeared completely. She practically didn’t walk much; the mall was littered with elevators, and she often sat in different stores.
The purchased items were far too many for even five Lin Tians to carry!
Fortunately, the mall understood men well and offered home delivery services.
"You’ve looked at all kinds of clothes, why not underwear?" Lin Tian whispered in Liou Qingcheng’s ear.
"Hmm?" Liou Qingcheng looked up, smiling slyly at Lin Tian, "Do you want to see us wearing underwear for you?"
Lin Tian swallowed hard, a tempting scene clouding his mind! Far more stimulating than choosing hats.
"Pervert!" Liou Qingcheng reached towards Lin Tian’s waist to give him a pinch, failing because his clothes were too thick, so she huffed heavily and said, "Next time, when it’s just the two of us! Don’t even think about it this time."
"How about... showing me several sets tonight?" Lin Tian suggested mischievously.
"Tonight... we’ll see!" With that, Liou Qingcheng ran off to Mei Ruyan, pretending to choose hats.
Leaving the mall, after all the bags were sent back, the women still felt the night was young. They had thought about sitting in a bar for a while, but then decided simply drinking was boring, directly heading to a game arcade.
Upon arriving, the four women transformed completely into little girls, bought a bag of game tokens, and gleefully began playing.
Liou Qingcheng loved dance machines, Xu Ning’an and Mei Ruyan both favored shooting games, while Bai Shishi had no particular preference and was dragging Lin Tian, playing enthusiastically.
"Hmm?" Lin Tian suddenly turned around, looking back.
That feeling of being followed resurfaced! But besides arcade machines and groups of people, Lin Tian couldn’t identify anything suspicious behind him.
