"Please, kind sir, would you take us, a poor mother and daughter, in for the night?"
Xiaowu, wearing stockings that graduated in color, barefooted, crouched in front of Luo Yu, shaking his arms with her hands.
Pouting her small mouth, she began to act coquettishly.
"Pretty please, I beg you!"
Luo Yu took a deep breath.
He always felt that this pure and beautiful girl, Xiaowu, seemed to have a seductive charm in her bones, making one's bones tingle and turn soft when she acted coquettishly. What was this all about?
"This..."
At this time, Bi Bidong said, "Young master, this girl Xiaowu seems very dependent on you. You're about to leave Da Jing, so let her stay with you for the night here."
"Uh..." Luo Yu felt there was something odd about what she said. What did she mean by 'stay with me for the night'? Aren't you worried about your daughter getting devoured whole by a wolf?
"Well... okay," Luo Yu agreed.
After all, the villa had many rooms, all lavishly decorated and fully furnished.
"Heehee, you're the best, kind sir," Xiaowu giggled, leaping up, her silky-legged stockings reaching high, her skirt fluttering.
Luo Yu quickly turned his head away, cursing his misfortune.
Why didn't this girl know to be careful in public? She might have a wardrobe malfunction!
How would he know that every movement of Xiaowu's was intentionally provocative? Was the ten-thousand-year Soft Bone Charming Rabbit a joke?
Seeing Xiaowu and her mother getting even closer to the man, the Qin Lan Sisters became anxious right away.
Qin Lan stealthily poked Jia Lan in the waist.
Jia Lan looked bewildered.
Qin Lan, frustrated that Jia Lan wasn't getting it, whispered some instructions into her ear.
After listening, Jia Lan bit her peachy, moist lips and finally stood up, coming before Luo Yu:
"Luo Gongzi, we sisters don't want to go back either today."
"What?" Luo Yu said, "You don't want to go back too?"
Luo Yu inwardly groaned. If Grandpa suddenly came back and saw four new women had moved into the house, what would he think?
It was impossible for him to get a beating.
After all, Grandpa was too fond of him.
"Yes, you're leaving soon, and we wanted to spend more time with you." Jia Lan was still not as open as Xiaowu, but her lip-biting look of vulnerability was too heartfelt to refuse.
Luo Yu was about to say there was no need, but looking into Jia Lan's eyes, he ultimately didn't utter the words.
"Luo Gongzi, please let us sisters stay. It's so dull at home, and it feels so lively here with you," Qin Lan added from the side.
Luo Yu thought it over.
He'd already taken in the mother and daughter, what difference would a couple more sisters make?
Four beauties weren't like four tigresses; they couldn't eat him up. It was perfectly safe, wasn't it?
"Alright, then you all go up and pick your rooms later. Aside from my parents' and Grandpa's, all the others are available."
"Yay, Luo Gongzi, you are really kind." Jia Lan excitedly leaned in and planted a kiss on Luo Yu's cheek.
This scene made Bi Bidong and Xiaowu's veins pop with jealousy, especially after noting the lipstick mark left on Luo Yu's face, they almost exploded with anger, tempted to stuff Jia Lan into a trash bin and throw her out of the villa.
But they restrained themselves.
How could conflicts in a harem be solved with force? It was all about who could capture a man's heart.
"I need to use the bathroom," Luo Yu said.
He excused himself, though not actually going to the toilet, but rather to call his grandfather and inform him that the house was being commandeered for the night and he shouldn't come back.
This annoyed the old man considerably. Was he already staking a claim on the family property?
Luo Yu laid it out directly: there were four women at home now, and if Grandpa wasn't afraid of feeling awkward upon his return, then come back early; welcome home.
Luo Tiance said 'good grandson' and then hung up the phone.
Luo Yu took the hint and knew Grandpa definitely wouldn't be coming back that night.
He felt not a bit of guilt about it; after all, as the number one figure in Great Xia, it wasn't like he'd be homeless without a place to go if he didn't return home, right?
When Luo Yu came back, he saw the four women were initially chattering about something, but as soon as he appeared, they all fell silent, looking at each other.
This gave him a vaguely uncomfortable feeling that things were a bit out of his control.
The night grew deeper.
Luo Yu sat alone in the center of the sofa, watching television.
On the coffee table were a neatly cut fruit platter and freshly steeped top-quality Dragon Well tea. The four women around him were all eyeing the seat next to Luo Yu with eager anticipation.
But due to mutual wariness, none of them dared to make a move.
It was like a standoff.
Of course, Luo Yu couldn't be unaware of this, but what could he do? Interfering in such matters could easily backfire.
The best strategy was to keep his own counsel and pretend ignorance.
Hey!
Luo Yu was somewhat surprised. Why did he feel so adept at handling this kind of situation?
Could it be that being a lady-killer was innate?
An inborn talent for charming women?
"Uh, aren't you all going to go up to bed?" Luo Yu yawned inadvertently as he asked.
Xiaowu shook her head, smiling sweetly:
"Not sleepy yet. I feel so secure with you around, kind sir."
A little flatterer.
Jia Lan secretly curled her lip, though in her heart she admitted some admiration as she couldn't be so bold in throwing a tantrum regardless of the situation.
She still had much to learn.
Luo Yu turned to Bi Bidong: "Xiaowu is staying here tonight. Are you not planning on going home either, madam?"
Bi Bidong was seething inside.
What kind of a thing was that to say!
His daughter could stay, but she, the mother, couldn't?
What, did her regal aura and stunning figure really lose out to a little girl?
In all honesty, didn't this man have any desire for her at all?
Well, come on then, she was waiting for him!
Though she thought this, it was absolutely something Bi Bidong couldn't say out loud. With a smile, Bi Bidong said:
