ollowed by a quick retreat.Turning back around, Sun Man blushed heavily, hands behind her back, head tilted to one side, with an expression of mischief as she looked at Suen Can, who was frozen in pla...Chapter 59: Daddy Competition Game

The most dangerous creatures in the world of divination are women, and Su Can could deeply understand this truth. Especially when faced with a girl like Lin Luoran, who is hard to read. Although he couldn't see the distant look from their days in Xiahai city anymore, it didn't mean her thoughts were open for anyone to touch or decipher.

From their first encounter until now, there's no denying that any man would have a certain fondness towards such an outstanding woman. The occasional interactions between them allowed Su Can to confirm that Lin Luoran harbored a special sentiment towards him.

However, at this moment, the hostile glances exchanged with Tang Wu and the underlying barbs in their conversation implied something else.

The excellence of these two girls might have made their meeting somewhat dramatic. They instinctively put up guards rather than greeting each other as long-lost sisters, harboring secret criticisms towards one another.

Any pretense seemed meaningless before two equally intelligent and insightful young women.

They didn't need to use shallow or obvious pretenses to hide their discomfort at meeting, nor did they need to disguise the innate wariness born out of mutual admiration for each other's excellence.

Just like Lin Luoran could be casual and unladylike around others regardless of gender, Tang Wu would present a cold and indifferent demeanor to everyone. But when the two met, they both took it seriously and felt an affinity towards one another as kindred spirits, which made them even more mindful.

Wang Weiwei glanced at Lin Luoran, feeling mixed emotions he couldn't define. Wanting to say "Let's drink" in order to ease the awkwardness, but looking into those clear eyes and perfect teeth made him hesitate.

Su Can didn't think that any slight hostility between these two girls had anything to do with him. Although it would be a heady feeling if both Lin Luoran and Tang Wu were fighting over him, leading to their animosity towards each other, he couldn't ignore reality.

If they truly resented each other because of him, the resentment should have been subtle rather than openly displayed like this.

Seeing Su Can's求助的眼神，王威連忙說道，“討論這個問題其實是很冇有標準的，隻有最膚淺的男人會通過眼睛來確定美醜。外在感官隻能體會到外表的美好，對於女人來說這的確是評判美麗的一種方式，但是讓一個女人變得可愛的方式卻有十萬種，所以單純的漂亮與否並不重要。

Seeing Su Cen give him a glare for calling him superficial, Wang Weiwei felt rather satisfied with the verbal jibe.

Tang Wu glanced at Wang Weiwei and smiled, "Montesquieu and Wilde didn't mean it that way. 'Women fall in love through their ears, while men, if they are capable of falling in love, do so first through their eyes.' "

If the power of the gaze could express affection, there were plenty of people at the bar doing just that with looks directed towards them at this moment. Unfortunately, neither of these two girls had shifted their attention toward them.

Su Cen felt pleased inside; it seemed like Tang Wu was countering Wang Weiwei on his behalf to repay him for a previous slight, but there was something off about the tone. It sounded rather narrow-minded and circled back to an old issue.

"To only emphasize substance while belittling appearance is also shallow," Lin Luoran smiled at Wang Weiwei, leaving the latter feeling stymied. A beautiful woman could be found anywhere, but a smart one combined with beauty was the most dangerous creature.

The people at other tables in the bar simultaneously rolled their eyes; not only did they instinctively sense that these two women were aloof, but those who frequently hung around bars on Nine-Eyed Bridge also realized that despite their young age, they were gradually evolving into the hardest-to-conquer animals.

"Chinese people place great importance on first impressions. This is especially true for Chinese men—I don’t think there’s any man who doesn’t judge a woman based on her appearance when he sees her for the first time, whether it be upper or lower body. If anyone says otherwise, I’ll show you my utmost disdain." Lin Luoran lived up to being the daughter of an ambassador with her sharp personality and words; many around them felt like they wanted to stand up and say "Please feel free to disdain us."

Su Cen knew that continuing on this path would make today’s atmosphere rather strange, “Let's not delve too deeply into this topic. If we keep going, we might end up discussing philosophy, religion, or even adult topics related to gender roles. Let's pause for now.”

Then he smiled at the concentrated and slightly annoyed looks from both girls, saying, "I’ll respond directly to Lin Luoran’s remark: I don’t recall ever having such a conversation with you."

Lin Luoran couldn’t help but laugh, “Just joking!” Her innocent smile starkly contrasted her previous sharpness. She gave Tang Wu a meaningful smile and said, "You wouldn't mind, right Actually, I really like your skin."

Wang Weiwei and Lin Zouwu praised internally; the moment they saw Tang Wu, she reminded them of a lotus flower—her gaze was clear and unapproachable, which is what men perceived directly. Of course, they wanted to further admire her secondary sexual characteristics but couldn’t muster any inappropriate thoughts under her watchful eyes. Perhaps it was because their own gazes would shatter the image carefully constructed in her mind if placed on areas not meant for observation.

Indeed, Lin Luoran hit the nail on the head when she said this. Tang Wu’s skin was excellent, not pale and unhealthy but with a faint luster; it seemed to glide off wherever one’s gaze fell, like around the neck and body where shadows danced in mysterious ways.

Tang Wu shook her head and smiled at Ling Luoran, "Even if it's just a joke, doesn't that mean they've never truly considered or compared themselves to others" This statement made Su Zhan, Wang Weiwei, and the rest feel ashamed. The two girls' conversation was too direct; couldn't they be more hypocritical and not strip everyone’s inner truth so nakedly

"But this isn’t necessarily a bad thing," Patt Morrison once said, "if a girl has no vanity and doesn't feel delighted by her own attractiveness, she will lose that very attraction. I believe any girl wouldn’t want to become someone who prioritizes inner qualities over appearance. I am also vain."

Hearing Tang Wu's last sentence, Ling Luoran was initially taken aback but then reached out through the air and said, "I like you. If I were a man, I would love you to death."

While all the male spectators were flabbergasted, the two girls shook hands, seemingly effortlessly forming some kind of strategic alliance.

Wang Weiwei and Lin Zhouwu couldn't help but sigh. Just moments ago, there was a tense atmosphere, yet now they had formed a friendship due to their common disdain for male hypocrisy. Women are indeed mysterious creatures, especially when it comes to two such outstanding women.

A few fashionable-looking boys, each holding a bottle of Budweiser and leaning against the bar's drum stand, had long been observing them from afar; they seemed quite interested in their conversation, particularly that between Tang Wu and Ling Luoran. In contrast, many heavily made-up girls inside the bar who were clinging to men around them appeared shallow.

These few individuals then got up and walked over to them, pointing at some empty seats beside them, "Can we sit here so everyone can get acquainted"

Wang Weiwei glanced at these people and smiled, "It’s inconvenient."

The man hadn’t expected Wang Weisi to say this with a smile, and his face reddened. He said, "Actually, those cars outside are ours; we often come here to the bar, and most of the regulars here know us. Just now, when we saw you guys, we thought it would be nice for everyone to get acquainted."

Lin Zhouwu glanced at him with contempt, saying, "Didn’t I tell you that it’s inconvenient How can you be so insistent."

The one among them who seemed inexperienced replied with a laugh, "Wow, what big airs you put on. Which year are you in university and where do you go to school People say today's college students don't learn much but sure have attitude, looks like they aren’t wrong."

Lin Zhouwu looked at the speaker coldly and said, “It’s supposed to be a time for studying. But instead, you squander your parents' money skipping classes without earning credits, just hanging out in bars showing off cheap cars. People say today's spoiled brats lack manners yet try to act refined; looks like they aren’t wrong.”

"Damn it, you小子 speak responsibly! Do you dare to take responsibility for what you say!" One person took out his phone and pointed at Lin Zouwu, as if the buttons on the phone controlled how a group of people would be treated next.

The leader stopped him; he was also the first male to speak. Seeing that the three men and two women in front of them showed no signs of shyness or hesitation that matched their age, he felt these people had an extraordinary demeanor and composure. They did not hesitate with what they said about him at all, so he knew their arrogance seemed to stem from a place of confidence rather than ignorance. "Senior Brother, we are genuinely here to make friends, but your attitude makes it seem unreasonable."

Wang Weiwei raised his head and looked directly into the man's eyes, saying, "I said, 'Wang Bo, this name makes you leave! Is that reasonable now"

A man who seemed to not know who Wang Bo was suddenly burst with anger but was immediately restrained by the person next to him as well as the leader. He sized up Wang Weiwei and his group, especially Lin Luoran's exaggerated disdainful expression, hesitated for a moment, then said with a gloomy look, "Let's go."

The four men slapped money on the bar counter and when they reached the door, they heard Lin Zouwu's voice from behind them, "They think they're unbeatable after seeing so many people like this, even thinking of messing around with our women.

Lin Luoran smacked Lin Zouwu on the head saying “Ouch,” and then saw Tang Wu looking coldly at him. He hurriedly smiled and said apologetically, "What I meant was our female friends."

Wang Weiwei let out a sigh of relief and noticed Su Can watching him intently. Su Can explained, "This is just a simple game of daddy power. Those fellows are all second-generation rich kids, so they play the daddy card to its fullest extent. It's obvious their parents aren't too impressive, but how did they manage to put on such an invincible act"

Su Can was taken aback and laughed. "Do you think I'm praising you!"

Wang Weiwei quickly smiled apologetically. "At least it's for getting rid of these flies, right You don't want the atmosphere between us to be ruined by such people."

"Next time, let’s not choose a place like this," Su Can frowned and saw Tang Wu saying nothing; he knew she was likely seeing a bar for the first time. She didn't like these places in general, but she had agreed because it was him who invited her.

"Alright, no repeats." Wang Weiwei waved his hands in the air, then looked at the door. His previously lively expression suddenly turned serious as he sighed, "These small flies that can be easily dealt with aren't much of a problem. The real big trouble is still to come! Su Can, you have to help me!"

I went out this afternoon and returned home after dinner; the chapter took longer to write tonight. I apologize for any inconvenience caused to those waiting at their computers!erested in these things," Zhang Yue looked at Tang Wu and smiled."Then let me introduce you to our eldest sister and brother-in-law who have seen this boy.
