Meanwhile, upstairs on the second floor, Shawn Young and Lilian Grace had been locked in a "battle" for who knows how long. At last, the storm subsided. Lilian, exhausted and limp from Shawn's endless tricks, lay lazily on his chest, her face still flushed. She traced circles with her finger on his skin, panting, "Oh! My god, you naughty devil, you wore me out! All those moves—did you learn them online?"
Shawn wrapped his arms around her, savoring the "battle" they'd just had, feeling pretty pleased. He hugged Lilian Grace and asked, "Yeah, most of them. Do you like it?"
Lilian Grace playfully punched his chest, her cheeks burning. "You're such a tease, always poking around—even back there! It's still tingling!" Turns out, they'd just tried the "backdoor" for the first time, and Shawn was still squinting, savoring that one-of-a-kind, tight sensation.
Seeing Shawn squinting and silent, Lilian thought he was upset. She quickly hugged him and changed her tone, "Yeah, I—I like it. Everything you do, I like. But next time, with that move, could you go a little easier?" The thought of that huge thing squeezing in there still made her nervous.
Shawn opened his eyes and looked at the beauty sprawled beside him, her body glowing in the afterglow of their fun. Suddenly, he remembered Lilian was his official girlfriend, yet he often fooled around behind her back. Guilt crept in—Lilian was truly his woman, devoted to him heart and soul. He couldn't let her down. Moved, Shawn hugged Lilian tightly, kissed her gently on the cheek, and whispered, "Lilian, I always knew you were the best for me! I love you! You'll always be my woman—"
Lilian Grace trembled at his words, tears sparkling at the corners of her eyes. Shawn was startled and quickly asked, "Lilian, what's wrong? Did I hurt you just now?"
"No—I'm just—so emotional, you naughty devil. Until today, you never once told me you loved me! You're the worst—" Lilian, overwhelmed, pounded Shawn's chest.
"Oh—I'm sorry, Lilian, I—I was too careless—I'm—sorry…" Shawn realized he'd never actually said "I love you" to Lilian before. Only now did he understand how much those three words meant to a woman.
"Shawn—I know you’re a playboy, and I’m not your only woman. Besides me, there’s Joanna Gong from History, Raina Tang from the hospital, and even others I don’t know! But—could you please stop hiding it from me? Am I not as good as them? Am I not qualified to be your girlfriend?" Lilian suddenly said.
"Uh—Lilian, how do you know all this? I—" Shawn was stunned.
"Of course I know. Aren't you curious how I got the phone number Joanna Gong gave you? She gave it to me herself! And she's told me lots about you, so has Yvonne, and even Aunt Vivian Fang—she's like a trusted elder to Yvonne—told me about you and her," Lilian said calmly.
"Ah—Lilian—" Shawn felt a wave of panic and was at a loss for words.
"I know you're a real playboy, but I can't leave you. Joanna, Raina, Yvonne, even Aunt Vivian—they all told me you're not an ordinary guy. Because you practice special Taoist arts, you're incredibly strong in that area! And once a woman’s done that with you, she can never leave! You're our curse, Shawn—an addiction we can't shake! I've thought about leaving you, but I just can't. So—I just want to do better! As long as you love me, care for me, and treat me well, nothing else matters—" Lilian’s words nearly brought Shawn to tears.
"Lilian, you're amazing—I'm the one who's let you down, I—I—" Shawn was so moved he could barely speak.
"Don't say that. I did this willingly. No one's at fault. I've figured it out—my only request is simple: just don't ignore me!" Lilian whispered, lying on Shawn.
"Yeah—Lilian, don't worry, I’ll never ignore you! If it ever comes to marriage, I’ll give you a title, I’ll marry you! I swear to heaven, if I break my word, let lightning strike me down—" Shawn, overwhelmed, started to make a solemn vow.
"No—don’t make those vows—I trust you! I know your heart." Lilian covered Shawn’s mouth, tears glistening in her eyes, feeling a bittersweet relief. Meanwhile, in the downstairs room, Yvonne Hu watched the scene, feeling as if struck by lightning, and quietly sobbed at her desk.
Unexpectedly, Lilian said, "By the way, Yvonne is like a sister to me—she's my best friend, practically family. She's stubborn—once she commits to someone, she rarely changes. You know she likes you! So, I hope you'll treat Yvonne well, whatever happens between you two. I—I don't mind sharing you with her!"
"Oh—okay! Actually, I—I was just about to tell you, I really like Yvonne too!" Shawn replied.
"Oh—really? Hehe—if Yvonne finds out, she’ll be thrilled! But tell me, what do you like about Yvonne?" Lilian asked deliberately.
"Oh—I like that she’s kind, beautiful, pure… all that stuff," Shawn replied vaguely.
"Just those? I don’t believe it. Yvonne’s not only pretty, she’s got a great figure, and her skin is flawless—your favorite type! You’ve seen her, right? Don’t you want her body?" Lilian suddenly asked, shocking him.
Seeing Lilian being so "frank," Shawn nodded and said, "Of course! You know, I’ve even dreamed about her! When I first started at Southern University and saw Yvonne, I made her my dream girl—she’s kept me up at night more than once!"
"Wow—you naughty devil, finally being honest! Tell me, have you ever really wanted to do it with Yvonne?" Lilian asked boldly.
"Do it?! Oh, hell yes! I've ruined so many pairs of underwear just thinking about her!" Shawn admitted shamelessly. After all, Lilian was his closest lover now—he could tell her anything.
"Hehe—you really are a naughty devil! If Yvonne knew what you were thinking, she’d be so embarrassed!" Lilian giggled.
"Haha—only telling you! I’d never say it to her face, she’d run for the hills!" Shawn grinned mischievously.
Meanwhile, in the little room downstairs, Yvonne Hu had overheard every word Shawn and Lilian said. Her pretty face went beet red, and she couldn’t help but spit at Shawn’s image on the screen. But somehow, her crappy mood vanished, replaced by a rush of excitement and anticipation. That feeling pushed Yvonne to make the boldest move of her life!
