I raised stunning young ladies, but they all wanted to possess me.

Gu Yan opened her mouth as if to say something, but Shen Youwei spoke first.

Her voice was very pleasant, a bit deeper than Shen Youyao's, with a touch of languor.

Like a cat yawning, or like silk gliding across water, soft yet penetrating.

"I am his sister."

She spoke naturally, her completely red eyes curving slightly as if she were smiling.

"Someone I've known for a long time, what are you to him?"

Fu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then looked at Shen Youwei and then at Gu Yan.

"I am... I am his friend, and I was taking care of him when he was injured."

Shen Youwei turned her head to look at Gu Yan, a strange light flashing in her completely red eyes.

"You're injured? How did you get injured? Who hurt you?"

Her tone was calm, but Gu Yan detected a hint of coldness in it.

That coldness wasn't directed at him, but at the person who had "hurt him."

Gu Yan took a deep breath, with only one thought in her mind.

Oh no, Shen Youwei has come out, and she came out in front of Fu Wanqing.

This female demon tried to kiss him last time but failed; I wonder what she's up to this time.

Moreover, she even said she was her younger sister. What the hell is this? Even Shen Youyao wouldn't dare say that.

He looked at Shen Youwei's completely red eyes, and then at Fu Wanqing's bewildered face.

His lips twitched, revealing a smile that looked more like a grimace.

"This is my younger sister, Shen Youwei. She...she's a bit clingy."

Shen Youwei's lips curled up slightly when she heard the word "younger sister".

She hugged Gu Yan's arm even tighter, pressing her chest even closer together.

A hint of smugness flashed in his completely red eyes, as if he were declaring something.

Fu Wanqing sat opposite, watching this scene, her expression becoming increasingly complicated.

She felt something was off, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.

The way this younger sister looks at her brother doesn't seem like the way a younger sister would look at her brother.

It was more like… she dared not think any further.

Gu Yan was held by Shen Youwei's arm and couldn't move at all, as if she were being strangled by a snake.

He looked out the window; it was still light out, and the sun hadn't set yet.

But he already sensed that he wouldn't be leaving this coffee shop today.

Gu Yan took a deep breath, looked into those completely red eyes, and tried her best to make her voice sound calm.

"Youyao, what are you doing here? I don't think we've set a time limit yet."

He was talking about Youyao, not Youwei, his eyes fixed on those blood-red pupils.

He wanted to see if this name could bring Shen Youyao back, even if only for a moment.

Shen Youwei smiled, a beautiful smile, but there was no trace of a smile in her ruby-like eyes.

"You didn't reply to my messages. I thought something had happened to you."

Her voice was languid, carrying an indescribable melancholy, like a cat that had been neglected for too long.

"I didn't expect there to be a newcomer. Who is this lady? She's quite pretty."

She turned to look at Fu Wanqing, her completely red eyes scanning her up and down.

Fu Wanqing was pretending to look elsewhere, holding a coffee cup and pretending to be very busy.

Upon hearing the words "new sister," she choked on the coffee she had just drunk.

"Cough cough cough... cough cough..."

She put down the cup, covered her mouth, and her face flushed red, whether from choking or something else, it was hard to tell.

"I...I'm just a friend, a regular friend. I was just taking care of him when he was injured."

Her voice sounded a little flustered, and she spoke several times faster than usual, as if she were explaining something very important.

Shen Youwei tilted her head and looked at her, a hint of amusement flashing in her completely red eyes.

"Really? Just friends? Would just friends come to a coffee shop so early in the morning for coffee?"

Her tone was very light and indifferent, but every word seemed to carry a thorn, making people feel uncomfortable.

Fu Wanqing opened her mouth as if to say something, but didn't know what to say, so she could only pick up her coffee cup and continue drinking.

Shen Youwei ignored her and turned to look at Gu Yan, her completely red eyes curving slightly.

"Brother, weren't you going to help me strengthen my mental power? Why haven't you come to find me yet?"

When she called him "brother," her voice was incredibly soft, as soft as cotton candy melting in your mouth.

But when Gu Yan heard this address, the hairs on the back of her head stood on end.

He looked into those completely red eyes, his voice low and tinged with helplessness.

"I was talking about Youyao, not you. I promised Youyao that I would visit her once a week."

His tone was calm, but he spoke each word clearly, as if drawing a line.

Shen Youwei's expression changed; the smile was still on her lips, but the light in her eyes turned cold.

The coldness wasn't the cold of ice, but the coldness of a blade, sharp and direct.

She released her grip on Gu Yan's arm, stood up, and then sat directly on Gu Yan's lap.

The movements were very natural, as if they had been rehearsed many times, without the slightest hesitation.

A section of her fair thigh was visible beneath her skirt, pressed against Gu Yan's pants, the warmth emanating from the fabric.

Her body was very light, but the moment she sat down, Gu Yan felt as if she was being weighed down.

It wasn't the pressure of weight, but the pressure of presence, like a leopard crouching on its prey.

She reached out and cupped Gu Yan's face in her hands, her fingers icy cold, her fingertips slowly sliding across his cheek.

Her bloodshot eyes stared into his, the distance between them less than a fist's width.

Their breaths mingled, her breath spraying onto his face with a cool, sweet scent.

Gu Yan froze completely, unable and afraid to move.

He could feel the warmth and softness of the girl's body, a sensation that sent shivers down his spine.

Shen Youwei spoke, her voice very soft, as if squeezed out from between her teeth.

"I am the younger sister. Aren't Youyao and Youwei both younger sisters?"

Her fingers slid from Gu Yan's cheek to his chin and gently pinched it.

"Or does the brother think the sister is better and want me to disappear?"

She was still smiling as she said this, but there was no smile in her red eyes.

There was only coldness, and something else indescribable, like a feeling of being wronged or threatened at the same time.

The people at the other tables in the coffee shop had already noticed this.

A pink-haired girl sat opposite him, and a red-eyed girl sat on the man's lap.

The scene was so exciting that some people's hands were shaking while holding their coffee cups.

Some people started quietly packing their things to leave, not wanting to get involved in something that looked like a lot of trouble.

Several young people took out their phones and tried to take pictures of Gu Yan.

Before the flashbulbs even went off, the coffee shop door was pushed open.

Several men in black uniforms walked in, wearing law enforcement badges on their chests.

The leader glanced around the room, his gaze settling on those holding up their phones.

"Delete them all, not a single one is allowed. This is an order from above."

His voice wasn't loud, but his tone was firm, as if he were saying something that was non-negotiable.
