NOVPUBShen Mochen was taken aback. It wasn't that he was surprised to encounter thugs harassing someone: even if Xia Qingrou was wearing super ugly glasses that concealed her beauty, she was still incredibly beautiful, not to mention Xia Yusi next to her.
It was normal for the two women to be approached by men, but the foul-mouthed individuals in front of him were all too familiar to Shen Mochen.
Although he didn't know their names, they were the same guys who tried to harass Catherine a few days ago: the fat guy, the buzz-cut, the tall one, and the man in white... though he was wearing a black T-shirt today.
Shen Mochen had seen them get arrested by the police and then sent to the hospital. He believed that given Director Wu's emotional intelligence and his fawning over Catherine at the time, there was no way they were let go so easily.
So, there was only one possibility: these men had been released by Catherine, or at least with her approval.
Damn, these guys really were brought in by her!
Shen Mochen glanced at their clothes and shoes, which had changed to various trendy brands. It seemed Catherine was a considerate boss who didn't skimp on workers' compensation.
Shen Mochen almost instantly figured out the situation. He tried to move his arms, but they were tightly held by the two girls on either side, making it impossible to pull away.
Let's just see how it goes, then... Shen Mochen wasn't nervous.
Since he knew their last appearance involved Catherine, it was possible they were hired by someone this time too.
Shen Mochen glanced at Xia Yusi and didn't say a word.
Xia Qingrou shrank behind Shen Mochen as Xia Yusi boldly smiled, "Sorry, we already have boyfriends. Thank you for your kindness, but we won't be bothering you!"
The fat guy grinned, "Hey, how could it be a bother! Having two beautiful ladies for company is all we could ask for!"
In the bustling night market, many bystanders looked their way, but they only frowned in disgust at the sight of the fat guy and his group and ultimately didn't intervene.
"But our boyfriends wouldn't like it," Xia Yusi said with a slight smile, pinching Shen Mochen to prompt him to speak up.
The buzz-cut man moved to grab Xia Yusi's hand, "What does he have to say about it? Look at him, too scared to even speak. Such a cowardly man; if you ask me, you should dump him."
Xia Yusi deftly avoided his grasp, "No way, such a handsome boyfriend, how could I just dump him?"
The tall guy joined in with a strange laugh, "Indeed, he's a pretty boy, but he looks so frail. Can he really satisfy you two?"
They were at the peak of their lives, having recently been paid handsomely to pretend to harass a foreign girl so her boyfriend could play the hero. Although things went awry and they ended up getting beaten up, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise as they received a huge compensation!
Despite being badly beaten, their assailant seemed to know exactly how much damage to inflict, and they were out of the hospital within a few days.
Then, living off the generous compensation, they spent their days indulging in food, drink, and fun until today.
Originally, they were jobless thugs who only dared verbally harass women and occasionally took small liberties.
But now their status had changed; now that they were rich, they had the confidence to harass women more boldly.
One old saying resonated with them now: money is the courage of heroes. With money, their boldness had grown.
"See those two cars up ahead? How about we get in and head to Star Night Bar for some fun?"
The man in black pointed to a luxurious SUV and a decent convertible parked in the distance.
Of course, even with a huge compensation, they could never afford these two luxury cars. They were rented, but these days, with the help of these luxury cars, they were invincible.
Even many women, without speaking much, would lean into their embrace and lower their eyes at the sight of the luxury cars.
This was something they never dared to imagine before, making them increasingly confident that women love men's luxury cars.
One of the women, after spending a night with the chubby man, coquettishly said his one-handed sports car driving posture was incredibly cool and felt very safe.
But the chubby man remembered, the reason his first love broke up with him was because his one-handed moped riding made him look like a bear-shaped balloon.
"The car is nice, but I'm not interested. I just love laughing on the back of my husband's bicycle."
Xia Yusi hugged Shen Mochen's arm, smiling sweetly. However, she was already getting impatient inside, thinking to herself what a clingy man he was.
Although these men looked tough, even though she had learned X martial arts, she was definitely no match for them, hence she had been pseudo-compliant all this while.
She wished she hadn't taken off her sunglasses, what a curse her beauty was…
However, her words did not deter the men. These days, they had had enough of casual women; now, they found women who seemed chaste more intriguing, especially a beauty like this.
Most importantly, these two women weren't proper either. Could a decent woman share one man?
What the hell! Was this pretty boy having too much fun?
I'm going to shake things up today, in the name of justice of this world, and show this pretty boy that looks aren't everything; in the adult world, wealth matters more than looks!
"You see, this guy doesn't even dare to speak. I feel embarrassed for him." The chubby man laughed as he patted Shen Mochen on the shoulder, his tone full of frivolity and mockery.
The man in black grinned at the fragile Xia Qingrou, "Well, if you're not interested today, let's just be friends then, we can hang out next time."
The men laughed and teased, brazenly hitting on Xia Qingrou in front of Shen Mochen, utterly disregarding him.
After all, in their eyes, he was just a normal guy with a mediocre height and a rather thin physique, aside from his face. With the four of them there, did he dare make a peep?
"I don't want to…" Xia Qingrou bit her lip, tightly grasping the corner of Shen Mochen's clothes, her body trembling.
"Hey, come on, just be friends…"
This sight further ignited the man in black's desire to conquer; he lasciviously grabbed Xia Qingrou's shoulder. Xia Yusi's expression turned cold, but it was too late to stop him.
"Wow…"
However, just as the man in black touched Xia Qingrou, she immediately bent over and vomited profusely.
The man in black jumped back, withdrawing his hand, somewhat at a loss.
She actually threw up… that could be an exaggeration… wait, it's not morning sickness, right? Uh, no no no, it's been less than a week, it couldn't possibly be morning sickness!
In a flash, Shen Mochen's emotions rollercoastered.
It seemed this was Xia Qingrou's normal reaction to contact with men.
He couldn't just stand by and watch the excitement anymore, Shen Mochen patted Xia Qingrou's back.
