CHAPTER 871: PUYUE BAY TEAM’S MARTIAL AND LITERARY DUELS

Puyue Bay.

A silver G63 slowly drove into the underground parking lot. During the New Year, there weren’t many cars around, leaving the place quite empty.

In a lonely corner, a tall girl about 170 cm stood, wearing a light camel coat and white wide-legged pants. She looked like a delicate flower blooming alone, appearing especially thin in the vast parking lot.

Her charming eyes blinked with anticipation as she gazed at the parking entrance. When she saw the Benz G-Class driving in, a worldly smile finally appeared on her face.

"Look, it’s only Little Jinghan who came down to get you. Qiao Lei is completely clueless."

In the passenger seat, Liew Menglu teased as she looked at the pitiable Long Jinghan.

Shen Yuan was already used to it. Liew Menglu and Qiao Lei had been at odds for some time, and whenever one wasn’t around, the other would definitely seize any chance to complain behind their back.

Shen Yuan parked the car. Liew Menglu was the first to get out, linking arms with Long Jinghan. "Little Jinghan, did you miss your sister?"

Long Jinghan gently replied with a "Mm," her eyes full of affection as she gazed at Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan merely turned his head away as Long Jinghan’s delicate face flushed slightly. Shyly, she glanced around before giving Shen Yuan a peck on the cheek.

"Ugh, so cheesy."

Liew Menglu looked on with distaste.

Shen Yuan chuckled, "Ha, you were way cheesier when you kissed me."

The Little Dragon Girl at most gave him a peck on the cheek, whereas Liew Menglu would insist on a French connection.

"That’s different."

Liew Menglu turned to observe Long Jinghan, exclaiming in surprise, "Oh my, Little Jinghan, you’ve actually lost weight over the New Year!"

"Were you secretly working hard while we were indulging?"

Liew Menglu poked Long Jinghan’s waist, "That’s over the line."

The three chatted and laughed as they carried their luggage up the elevator. Liew Menglu playfully said, "Jinghan, your sister brought you a New Year’s gift this time."

"Thank you, Menglu sister."

"Do you want to know what it is?"

"Hmm...what is it?"

"You’ll find out tonight. Oh wait, with Shen Yuan here, you might not use it after all."

Liew Menglu had a teasing and expectant look.

Imagining messing with the obedient Little Jinghan was somewhat exciting.

Shen Yuan thought it must be the same stuff she used on Hou Qianqian last night.

He never expected Liew Menglu to buy that kind of thing, but considering her experience, it wasn’t that surprising.

Well, it’s good this way. When he had no time for Leilei and Hanhan, Coach Liew could take over.

After all, she had good stamina.

Long Jinghan looked puzzled, but wasn’t ready to ask more. What kind of gift needed to be opened when Shen Yuan wasn’t around?

The three of them reached Long Jinghan’s apartment, and she unlocked the door while saying, "Leilei is preparing lunch, so she couldn’t come down to greet you."

"Stop making excuses for her. If Qiao Lei really wanted to come down, she could’ve just turned off the stove. Besides, with her cooking skills, can what she makes even be eaten? I’m telling you..."

As Liew Menglu grumbled, the door opened, and Qiao Lei walked out with arms akimbo. "Liew Menglu! Talking bad about me again, huh?"

The house had underfloor heating, so Qiao Lei was only wearing a white base layer and an apron. The snug fit accentuated her full figure, and as she walked, everything seemed to jiggle.

Leilei was handpicked by Shen Yuan, and naturally, her figure was quite impressive.

Liew Menglu rolled her eyes, "Did I say anything wrong?"

"Just wait, I’ll serve up something that’ll blow your mind!"

Qiao Lei approached Shen Yuan, "Senior, don’t listen to her nonsense. I’ve really improved my cooking over the past few days; Jinghan sister has been teaching me. It’ll definitely be delicious!"

During the New Year, Long Jinghan stayed home up until New Year’s Eve and the first day, but returned to Star City on the second day, same as Qiao Lei.

Ever since Long Jinghan’s parents signed that trust, they’ve treaded cautiously around her, even her brother was careful as if afraid of upsetting her, which might result in canceling the trust.

Long Jinghan didn’t have much affection towards her parents, so she only stayed for two days before returning to Star City.

As for Qiao Lei, she simply found her hometown too boring.

Liew Menglu was skeptical, "Heh, I might believe it’s edible, but absolutely delicious..."

"Hey, Liew Menglu, you trying to pick a fight with me?!"

Qiao Lei scowled with her fair face, visibly upset. Being just over 160 cm tall, she needed to maintain this angle to look Liew Menglu in the eye, but she barely managed a few harsh words before she frowned suddenly.

"Why do you smell so strong?"

Liew Menglu not only didn’t get angry, she gave a sweet smile, "No, smell again."

Qiao Lei leaned closer, sniffed with her nose, frowned deeper, and glanced at Shen Yuan, "You guys...just did it in the car..."

Liew Menglu proudly raised her chin, as if she’d done something extraordinary.

Qiao Lei noticed some details, "Did you... did you eat it?"

Liew Menglu stuck out her scarlet tongue, giving Qiao Lei a teasing lick at the corner of her lips.

"You...you vixen, seductress, scoundrel!"

Qiao Lei glared at Liew Menglu, teeth gritted, as she stormed into the kitchen.

What enraged her wasn’t what happened in the car, nor Liew Menglu eating it, but the fact that, knowing there was a battle today, she still consumed Shen Yuan’s reserves in advance!

People who eat alone are doomed to be out of luck!

And Liew Menglu wasn’t done yet either. Seeing the meek Long Jinghan as easy prey, she leaned in for a kiss.

"I can’t enjoy it alone, right? Jinghan, don’t you agree?"

With a blush, Long Jinghan twisted and turned, ultimately unable to resist.

It was like a sweet appetizer before the meal.

....

Ten minutes later, Qiao Lei brought out four plates containing steak, scrambled eggs, Thuringia sausage, whole wheat toast, plus broccoli and cherry tomatoes on the side.
