The few of them looked at each other, their eyes filled with a complex mix of being "impressed" and the thought that "this is the real big shot."
Qin Fen almost spat out the tea he had just sipped; swallowing it down forcefully left him coughing and choking.
"Holy... is this for real?"
Wang Zheng was also completely dazed, his facial expression management failing entirely. His mouth hung slightly open, and after a long while, he murmured, "So, in the group chat just now... was I being a fool again?"
Wang Congcong and Shen An weren't doing much better.
Although he was an Internet Celebrity harvester and had played around quite a bit, those were all monetary transactions.
He really hadn't played like this, having three girlfriends at once..
He looked at Jiang Cheng with a complex gaze, then at the three Girls, each with a different style but all strikingly beautiful.
Ultimately, it turned into a long, deeply emotional "Holy shit..."
Only Shen An felt that something was off.
The way Jiang Cheng looked at him just now wasn't right.
If it were true, how could he have had that kind of look?
However, based on his understanding of Jiang Cheng, it was indeed very likely that Xu Yan and Shen Shuang would develop this kind of relationship with Jiang Cheng in the future.
Although Xu Yan and Shen Shuang were silently playing along with Jiang Cheng and Jiang Churan amidst the crowd's teasing,
Both of them were still feeling a bit uncertain inside.
If you said they didn't have a guilty conscience, then playing along would be fine... anyway, neither of them intended to cling to Wang Congcong or the others present.
So, at most, this was a joke; everyone would just laugh it off, whether it was true or false.
But the problem was that both of them had their own little schemes.
So when Jiang Churan said that, they both couldn't help but overthink it.
Had Jiang Churan discovered their usual little tricks?
Or was this a probe or a warning??
Under this mindset, the two of them couldn't respond as naturally as they usually did.
They could only play along with everyone with a slightly shy smile.
Although the two Girls' expressions were a bit unnatural, it looked completely different to Shen An, Wang Congcong, and the others.
They only felt that the three women got along so well; from their behavior and positions, it was obvious that Jiang Churan was the primary one, while the two of them were the secondary ones.
They followed along quietly without making a fuss.
Such a beautiful scene is practically what every man dreams of, okay?
Wang Congcong couldn't help but take a deep drag of his cigarette and then stub it out in the ashtray.
"I finally know what 'comparisons are odious' means."
Shen An cupped his hands repeatedly and said with a bitter smile, "Brother Cheng, sisters-in-law, I failed to recognize your greatness and was talking nonsense just now..."
"Alright, let's order first. We're all hungry..."
When Jiang Cheng said this, although no one spoke,
They all exchanged knowing glances.
They could barely handle taking on two at once; it'd be a miracle if he wasn't hungry after three at once..
Soon, everyone took their seats.
At the huge round table, Jiang Cheng naturally sat in the head seat. Jiang Churan sat right next to his left, Xu Yan naturally sat on Jiang Churan's other side, and Shen Shuang sat next to Xu Yan.
Wang Congcong, Qin Fen, and the others sat in order on Jiang Cheng's right side.
After ordering, the food arrived quickly while they chatted.
As soon as they picked up their chopsticks, Jiang Churan considerately gave Jiang Cheng a warm abalone first: "darling, have this abalone..."
Wang Zheng, who was still sending lunch photos to various Girls, saw this and immediately complained: "Sister-in-law, please have mercy. We haven't even eaten yet, please don't hurt this single dog.."
Although it was their first meeting today, Jiang Churan could see that the gathering still centered around Jiang Cheng.
That's why they were so respectful and took the initiative to talk to her.
Jiang Churan covered her mouth and smiled, then suddenly signaled Shen Shuang and Xu Yan with her eyes.
The three of them were very in sync.
After receiving a certain signal, the two Girls' lively eyes blinked rapidly, and their lips curled into a smile that was different from Jiang Churan's gentleness—it was playful and eager.
The two of them reached out their chopsticks almost simultaneously, picked up a piece of abalone, and reached across the space in front of Jiang Churan to place them precisely into Jiang Cheng's dish.
Their voices rang out crisply: "darling, have this abalone too!"
Hearing this, not just Wang Zheng, but the others' faces instantly soured with jealousy..
Qin Fen's chopsticks were just reaching for the Steamed Leopard Coral Grouper, but before he could touch the fish, he was frozen in mid-air by the shock of the scene.
He gaped, looked at his empty bowl, and a strong sense of jealousy mixed with disbelief hit him right in the head, as he blurted out: "Holy crap, no way, I'm gonna barf, the three sisters-in-law, please have mercy..."
"Exactly, we're all friends here, why hurt us like this..." Shen An clutched his chest.
Wang Congcong originally wanted to maintain his "seen-it-all" composure, but the harmonious scene of "three beauties competing to offer abalone" still made his lips twitch.
Seeing this, he snorted: "You guys deserve to not have any good food; with that kind of reaction, you deserve to be single."
Compared to their incredibly sour expressions, Jiang Cheng was excited inside but calm on the outside.
He turned his head to look at Jiang Churan and gave her a "you're the most mischievous" look.
This woman had clearly become more playful since being with him.
With just one look, Jiang Cheng silently played along with them.
He slurped down the three abalones on his plate in just a few bites.
Then he nodded in appreciation: "Mm, very good. It's juicy, has no fishy smell, great elasticity, and firm meat."
After slurping them down, Jiang Cheng reached back and gave each of the three Girls a serving with his chopsticks.
"Eat some pubg, it'll give you some protein.."
The three Girls were clearly quite naive.
Seeing Jiang Cheng like this, they thought they had him wrapped around their fingers.
They looked at each other and said in unison: "Thanks, darling~"
Seeing the interaction between Jiang Cheng and the three Girls, although the others were used to it, they still couldn't help but pound their chests in envy.
All scumbags, why is Jiang Cheng's life so fulfilling... Wang Zheng couldn't help but glance at Jiang Churan.
He was the first to know Jiang Cheng.
He had also seen the most Girls around Jiang Cheng.
Though their styles overlapped, their charm levels were all top-tier.
And after getting to know them, none of them were messy or shady women.
This point was quite magical.
He shook his head: "From today on, I, Wang Zheng, swear I'm serious! Brother Cheng's level, his vision... I have to learn, I must learn!"
Qin Fen chimed in: "Enough, you said that oath last night, and plenty of times before. Who would believe you?"
Wang Zheng was defiant: "Hah, if you don't believe me, I'll show you my phone. When I get back to Shanghai in a few days, I'll prove it to you, I'm not like you... Last night I disbanded my Atmosphere Group Girls' group chats overnight... From now on, whatever Brother Cheng does, I'll do. I don't believe I can't live a good life like this."
Qin Fen continued to roast him: "I'd sooner believe there are ghosts in this world than believe you.."
Seeing them spill more and more of their secrets, Jiang Cheng interrupted their teasing to prevent his image as a good man from being tarnished.
