THE woman in the white cheongsam looked to be in her early 30s. But truthfully, she was already in her late 40s. She just knew how to properly maintain herself. With the right exercise, diet, make-up, and constant visit to a beauty clinic, anyone could be way younger than they looked.
And this woman was one of those.
She had a pretty face that was enhanced by make-up and a flattering figure that was easily highlighted by the cheongsam she was wearing. Her long black hair was put up into a bun with a delicate jade hairpin. She had the seductive charm of a mature woman. And with her face and body language, she could enact that pure feeling that only a younger woman could have. Which was quite a contradictory feeling. And something that could drive a man crazy for her.
She was definitely the type that used her looks to her full advantage. Like capturing the attention of certain men.
All of these, Luo Yan could see in one glance. Maybe because he also once wore a mask to take advantage of the people around him. So, he could see that she was also used on putting up a mask. More importantly, it was also very clear to him that her target right now was his father.
That gaze that was almost sticking to his father like glue was evidence enough. Not to mention, the greed that was hidden in her eyes. She might have thought that she concealed it perfectly. But unfortunately for her, he was here. With his acting ability, how could he not see it?
Luo Yan wasn't sure how this woman knew his father. Even calling him so intimately. But one thing he was certain of, he couldn't let his father fall under the trap of this woman.
Luo Wei Tian, on the other hand, glanced at the woman and then furrowed his brows. He couldn't honestly tell who this woman was.
The woman probably noticed this and showed a somewhat hurt expression. Even her eyelashes tremble. Then she smiled sadly. "It's normal for Brother Wei Tian not to remember me. After all, it had been almost 30 years since we last saw each other."
If it was any other men, they would have probably already felt pity for the beautiful woman and would console her. Apologizing to her and asking her to not feel sad. But sadly for this woman, her self-pity act wouldn't work on Luo Wei Tian.
"That's right. I don't remember you. So, if you have any business with me, don't beat around the bush and just tell it to me straight," Luo Wei Tian said, his tone like the usual cold and overbearing president. "And since I don't remember you, could you please not call me so familiarly?"
The woman's face turned bright red in shame. And this time, Luo Yan didn't think that she was faking it. He resisted the urge to laugh. He almost wanted to give his father a thumbs-up.
Then, as if that wasn't enough, Luo Ren also seconded, "This… lady, I'm sorry, but could you just take us to our reservation? Or do you want us to continue standing here? It's very… unprofessional. After all, you're still an employee in this teahouse, correct?"
Luo Ren smiled at the woman but it was very condescending. As if he was pointing out to her that she was working in this establishment while they were the important guests.
Luo Jin suddenly snorted. "I think the quality of this place is very sub-par," he said while looking at the woman as if she was the 'sub-par' he was talking about.
Luo Yan laughed inwardly. It seemed that his father didn't need his intervention at all. His two brothers were already enough to control the situation. But how could he not join in the fun?
So, he hugged his father's arm, half of his body hiding behind the other. He raised his head and said innocently, "Dad, that old lady is looking at you weirdly. It's like she wanted to eat you or something." He completely hid behind his father. "How scary."
Luo Wei Tian glanced down at his second son. He already expected Luo Ren and Luo Jin to speak out. After all, this was not the first time that a situation like this had happened. But he didn't expect that Xiao Yan would take another approach. He could feel that Xiao Yan was just acting. But he didn't mind since the other was so adorable acting like a baby.
But this also proved that there were thorns beneath Xiao Yan's cuteness. And as a father, he much preferred that. It's certainly better than him being a push-over.
Shen Ji Yun watched over this farce and he truly realized just now how much these three were related. He glanced at the woman whose face had gone from red to white to blue and finally to red again. If she didn't get the message the three Luo brothers were sending her, then she's either stupid or very shameless.
He watched as the woman silently gritted her teeth. Then her face completely returned to calm as if she didn't understand what the other three was trying to say. "Then please, let me guide you to your courtyard room."
Okay. She's definitely just shameless. – Shen Ji Yun thought.
Of course, Luo Wei Tian could also see through the woman. He was already used to the kind of gaze she was giving him. A lot of people – men and women alike – looked at him that way because of Tianhua Group. Thinking that they could change their life once they associated with him.
Sadly, for them, he had a good eye for people. He would never allow someone who only had his money in their minds to get close to him. Or his family. Just like this woman here.
Besides, he was here for a family vacation and not to deal with such things.
He didn't want to prolong this situation any longer. So, he said, "No need. We no longer plan to drink tea here."
And he turned around and walked out of the teahouse. Luo Yan and the others also followed.
"Too bad. I really like the name of that teahouse," Luo Yan said in a soft voice that only Shen Ji Yun who was walking close to him heard.
"Me too," Shen Ji Yun agreed in an equally soft voice.
The two looked at each other and then a smile both crossed their lips. As if they had a secret that only the two of them knew.
