Please Take Care of Me, Young Master Quan

Chapter 22: Natural Beauty Shines Without Adornment

In response to her, a mocking smile appeared on the man's face.

He Huai didn't bother to look at Zhou Chi. He walked to the staircase, avoiding any sideways glances, and proceeded straight past Shen Wan, striding away.

To be caught red-handed and still have the audacity to speak harshly, only the Devil King himself could manage such a feat.

In her previous life, He Huai had displayed arrogance, and now, four years ahead of schedule, that same conceit was even more prominent. He bore a resemblance to a proud wolf with a swaying, voluminous tail, his posture almost as if he were attempting to ascend to the heavens.

A faint smile played at the corners of Shen Wan's eyes.

She still remembered that in her previous life, He Huai was one of the two people who stood up for her before she entered the operating room. Unfortunately, it still couldn't change the outcome.

In this second chance at life, Shen Wan was still grateful to him.

Abruptly, the man halted his stride. He pulled back his left foot, which had already descended a step, turned on his heel, and positioned himself in front of Shen Wan. His piercing gaze scanned her from head to toe.

The woman possessed a delicate frame, her complexion fair, and her slender waist and neck seemed as though they might break with a mere touch.

Her long black hair hung behind her, gently swayed by the cool breeze from the air conditioning, carrying a hint of shampoo's fragrance.

She wore a white cotton dress with a slightly fluffy hem, revealing a pair of slender legs.

Her fair face had no makeup applied, nor did it bear any traces of plastic surgery.

Compared to Feng Shuangshuang's fake innocence, this woman was truly pure.

A sudden phrase popped into He Huai's mind—

"Natural beauty shines without adornment."

Perfect! Completely in line with his aesthetic standards!

"What's your name?" He Huai impulsively asked.

The young woman just smiled without answering.

This smile once again astonished the man.

Seeing Feng Shuangshuang's reaction, a glimmer of hope flickered in her eyes. She took two steps forward, preparing to approach him.

Out of the corner of his eye, He Huai caught sight of this and slipped away before she could reach him.

Before departing, he made sure to give Shen Wan his business card. "Here's my personal number, don't forget to reach out." He winked with his charming peach blossom eyes, exuding charisma.

With that said, he swiftly left, faster than a rabbit.

He enjoyed playing with women, but that didn't mean women could play with him, let alone make him a "third party"!

It was simply a matter of...

Unprecedented shame and humiliation!

Feng Shuangshuang could only watch helplessly as He Huai left. She knew that everything she had meticulously planned, from the staged encounter to gradually capturing the man's attention and ultimately hooking him, had all been in vain.

And the mastermind behind it all—

"Zhou Chi! Are you insane?! Who gave you the right to come at this time? Who gave you the right to lay your hands on someone?!" Feng Shuangshuang erupted in a few moments, becoming hysterical.

Zhou Chi's body trembled, his previously taut facial expression almost collapsing. In his eyes, along with disbelief, there was deep disappointment.

"Since you've fallen for someone else, why didn't you suggest breaking up?"

"Ha..." Feng Shuangshuang chuckled lightly. "I thought you wouldn't mind."

"I'm a man! How could I not mind?!" Zhou Chi roared.

"What right do you have to concerned?" The woman's eyes were cold and expressionless, her smile gradually turning sarcastic. "We've been together for two years. You've done delivery work, odd jobs, and you're still renting a place on the chaotic Qing Bronze Street. Your savings are pitiful, your car only has two wheels, and you spend all day playing games! Tell me, apart from a handsome face and tall stature, what else is there for me to love? Zhou Chi, it's been two years. Do you know what I want?"

The man's gaze became dazed, and he stuttered, "You like cosmetics, clothes, handbags..."

"Ha, is that all you see?" The woman tugged at the corner of her mouth. "So, it's really not my fault for falling for someone else. It's because time and time again, you've disappointed me. I'm sorry, but being with you, I can't see a future, I can't see hope. So, let's break up."
