Shawn Young slipped away from the crowd and headed alone towards the Zeng family's backyard villa. He wasn't the least bit worried that Zeng Guangjie would dare to settle scores with him now.
He knew very well that with Zeng Guangjie's shrewdness, he would definitely weigh his options. Plus, with Yang Zhongtian handling them, that's more than enough. Right now, Shawn's goal was to find Sylvia Snow and take her away.
After crossing a corridor, Shawn arrived at the Zeng family's backyard villa—a standalone two-story villa. Looking up, he saw lights glowing on the second floor, so he stepped upstairs.
Once on the second floor, Shawn quickly noticed that one of the room doors was ajar, with light spilling out from inside. He could vaguely hear the voices of two women talking.
He recognized the voices as Liu Yaoyao and Sylvia Snow. Shawn was delighted and stepped forward, about to push the door open. But through the door, he heard Liu Yaoyao say, "Snowy Sis, this is my birthday present for you!"
"Oh? What is it?" Sylvia Snow's voice came from inside.
"Hehe, it's something really good! If you put this on, I guarantee that big bad Shawn Young will be so dazzled, he'll get a nosebleed!" Liu Yaoyao giggled mischievously.
"Make me get a nosebleed?" Shawn was intrigued, so he peeked through the crack in the door. He saw Sylvia Snow, dressed in a white evening gown, sitting gracefully like a beautiful Snow White. Liu Yaoyao stood in front of her, smiling as she took out a delicate little box from behind and shook it.
Liu Yaoyao displayed the little box, her eyes twinkling mysteriously as she said to Sylvia, "Hehe, Snowy Sis, back when I was in America, I got used to how young people there celebrate birthdays, so I bought this gift for you! Hehe, it's a top brand designed by a leading Italian designer! Supposedly handmade, and it's not cheap!"
"Wow! That sounds amazing! What is it? ... Hurry up and give it to me! Yaoyao, stop keeping me in suspense!" Sylvia Snow snatched the gift box excitedly, pretending she was about to open it.
"Uh... Snowy Sis, are you sure you want to open it right now?" Liu Yaoyao's gaze turned a little strange.
"Of course... You made me so curious! How could I possibly resist seeing what it is?" Sylvia Snow said while opening the gift box.
Inside the gift box was a set of exquisitely crafted, diamond-studded mini lingerie and a ridiculously skimpy thong. Sylvia's pretty face instantly turned bright red...
"Oh, come on, Yaoyao! This set looks so... so tiny! Wearing it is basically like wearing nothing at all. And... and it's so embarrassing! I—I don't want to wear it!" Sylvia Snow blushed furiously, both shy and annoyed.
"Hehe, Snowy Sis, maybe you don't know! Actually, men love it when women wear this kind of thing. Shawn Young is a guy too! Why wouldn't he like it?" Liu Yaoyao kept encouraging her.
"Uh, Yaoyao, are you sure... is that really true?" Sylvia Snow was clearly swayed by Liu Yaoyao's words.
"Of course it's true! With your amazing figure and flawless, fair skin, if you put this on, I guarantee Shawn Young will not only have his eyes light up, he'll probably get a nosebleed too!" Liu Yaoyao kept coaxing Sylvia.
"Is it really that dramatic? And Yaoyao... you're so naughty! How am I supposed to wear something like this?!" Sylvia's face was still burning.
"Hehe, what's the big deal? It's the modern age! Besides, if Shawn Young sees you wearing this, he might not be able to help himself—he'll pounce on you, hug you, nibble you, hehe!" Liu Yaoyao's words were getting more and more explicit.
"Ah! Yaoyao, can't you be a little less blunt? If Shawn Young hears you say that, I'll be so embarrassed!" Sylvia Snow mumbled, covering her burning face.
"Oh, Snowy Sis, listen—if a woman wants happiness, she has to learn to go after it! If you want to win Shawn Young's heart, there's nothing to be embarrassed about! He especially loves passionate and bold types!" Liu Yaoyao kept persuading.
"R-Really? How do I even learn to be passionate and bold?" Sylvia Snow asked, clearly tempted.
"Hehe, that's up to you! If you dare to wear this in front of him, I promise—he'll never forget it!" Liu Yaoyao laughed.
"Oh, then... let me think about it first!" Sylvia was obviously tempted, but still hesitated, biting her lip.
"What's there to think about? Shawn Young might come in any minute—Snowy Sis, stop overthinking and just go for it!" Liu Yaoyao couldn't help but urge her.
Watching all this through the crack in the door, Shawn couldn't help but get excited. He thought to himself that Liu Yaoyao really understood him—he couldn't wait to see Sylvia Snow wear that outfit in front of him.
So, Shawn simply pushed the door open and walked in. His sudden appearance startled the two beauties inside.
"I'm here, Snowy. Are you alright?" Shawn strode over to Sylvia as soon as he entered.
"I—I..." Sylvia hadn't expected Shawn to appear so suddenly. She was still lost in her shyness and couldn't react for a moment.
"Ah! Shawn, you're finally here! Snowy Sis and I have been waiting for you forever!" Liu Yaoyao waved excitedly when she saw Shawn.
"Hmm, Yaoyao... what's that thing you're holding?" Shawn looked at the thong in Liu Yaoyao's hand and asked on purpose.
"Hehe, take a guess!" Liu Yaoyao giggled, deliberately teasing him.
"Uh, why is it just a few scraps of fabric and some strings? What even is this thing?" Shawn pretended not to know what it was.
"Hehe, it's a woman's thong! It's this year's latest trend from Italy, and it's super expensive—worth tens of thousands of dollars! Plus, it has a very seductive name: 'Mini Serenade.' How about it? Sexy enough?" Liu Yaoyao dangled the thong and giggled at Shawn.
"Wow! Why is it so expensive?" Shawn pretended to be surprised.
Liu Yaoyao glanced at Sylvia Snow, who was blushing and too shy to speak, then cleared her throat and said, "Uh... Shawn, it's worth every penny. And don't underestimate it—if a woman wears it, she can really show off her figure! It's the ultimate in temptation and coolness! Just imagine, a woman with a sexy body wearing this—it's the perfect match, guaranteed to keep any man's eyes glued to her. Wouldn't you guys fall for it?"
"Mhm, Yaoyao makes a good point!" Shawn nodded in admiration.
Seeing this, Liu Yaoyao giggled and leaned close to Sylvia's ear, whispering, "Snowy Sis, this is my birthday gift for you. Don't you want to put it on and show someone?"
Sylvia blushed even deeper, covering her face and muttering softly, "Oh, Yaoyao! Why do you always talk like that?"
"Hehe... Snowy Sis, don't you like my gift? Should I get you something else instead? If you don't want it, I'll just take it back and wear it myself!" Liu Yaoyao giggled. She didn't feel embarrassed at all—growing up in America, she was always 'ahead of the curve' when it came to this stuff.
"Uh, no need! I—I like it, just... just give it to me! Thank you, Yaoyao!" Sylvia quickly snatched the 'Mini Serenade' away.
"Oh! As long as you like it, Snowy Sis. I have something to do, so I'll leave you alone with Shawn!" Liu Yaoyao, seeing her goal accomplished, shot Shawn a meaningful look and slipped out of the room.
Shawn was about to say something when Liu Yaoyao poked her head back in and called out, "I'm off to play! I won't be back tonight, so you two have fun! Hope you both have sweet dreams, hehe!"
With that, Liu Yaoyao left, quickly running off down the hallway.
