Shawn Young watched the backs of Fiona Tang and Tyson Wang as they left, secretly amazed. He'd overheard Tyson accidentally call Fiona "Captain"—and Tyson clearly had a military background, radiating a tough, soldierly vibe. Fiona might look young, but she was clearly skilled, and with someone like Tyson as her bodyguard, she was definitely someone with a big story.
Joanna Gong saw Shawn Young staring blankly at the door, and a wave of jealousy surged in her heart. She moved closer, waved her hand in front of Shawn’s face, and pouted, "Stop looking! She’s already gone! If you really like her, why don’t you go after her…"
"Oh… Joanna, don’t get the wrong idea. I—I didn’t mean it like that. I’m just curious about her background, that’s all." Shawn hurriedly explained.
"Hmph… You think I don’t know? You men are all the same—say one thing, but think another! See a pretty girl and your eyes light up! Fiona Tang is gorgeous, so it’s only natural you’d be interested…" Joanna Gong pouted, cheeks puffed up in annoyance.
Seeing Joanna Gong’s jealous little pout, Shawn Young was secretly delighted. Looks like this pretty girl really likes him! According to the pickup master Alex Easton’s secret techniques—women are emotional creatures! They love hearing sweet talk from men, even if they know it’s just flattery. Especially young girls—mixing a little truth with playful teasing is the most effective move!
Shawn Young knew—if he just sweet-talked Joanna Gong a bit, took her out for some fun, maybe tonight he’d get a shot at her defenses! The thought was just too exciting. Ever since he’d tasted the pleasures of a woman with Rainie Cheng, Shawn found himself completely hooked on that feeling.
But Shawn Young had never seriously tried to sweet-talk a girl before. Now that he wanted to charm Joanna Gong, he suddenly found himself tongue-tied, not knowing what to say. Only now did he realize how awkward he was, and it frustrated him to no end.
Joanna Gong, noticing Shawn Young’s hesitating look, found it odd and asked directly, "Do you… have something you want to say to me? It’s fine, just say whatever’s on your mind!"
"Uh… I, I…" Shawn Young stammered, flustered by Joanna Gong’s clear, bright gaze. Everything he’d planned to say vanished from his mind.
Joanna Gong giggled, "You… just say whatever you’re thinking… I won’t blame you!" She leaned in close and gave Shawn Young an encouraging, flirtatious look.
