    Chapter 418: A Flamboyance That Shocks the World

    Su An immediately started getting dressed. "Do you have the key? Wanna go check it out later?"

    Zuo Jinghuan replied, "No, but Qin Gu does—he’s got a copy. He lives not far from the shop. I know how to get there."

    Su An got out of bed and put on her clothes. "Gimme a sec to get ready, and we can go together."

    "Alright."

    Once Su An was ready, they bundled up tight and headed out. Zuo Jinghuan, a chatterbox, kept yapping away the whole time.

    "An An, you’re younger than me, but why are you so mature?"

    "Ugh, you don’t even know—my mom keeps comparing everything to others. Your brother’s better than Zu Ying, you’re better than me. She’s always on my case to learn from you, to be more steady. But can personality just change like that?

    "I’ve always been like this. It’s exhausting. Why don’t we swap? You be my mom’s daughter, and I’ll be Auntie Wang’s instead."

    "I’m jealous your mom’s so chill. She respects everything you do. But if I try anything, mine lays into me with her teacher voice, all earnest and preachy."

    Su An snorted laughing at Zuo Jinghuan’s miserable expression.

    "Don’t knock what you’ve got."

    Zuo Jinghuan wrapped her arm around Su An’s and rested her head on her shoulder. "An An, I like you so much. Whoever lands you is lucky."

    At this, her eyes lit up. "An An, what do you think of my brother Zu Ying?"

    Su An was puzzled. "Zu Ying’s alright."

    Zuo Jinghuan’s face brightened. "You think he’s nice too?"

    "Let me tell you, even though he comes off as a mess, he’s actually solid. Young but thinks ahead. Sure, he’s loud, but he’d keep things fun, right?"

    "I’m telling you, he’s a total cash magnet. Might seem careless, but he’s sharp when it counts. Watch him—he’s way ahead of guys his age. Plus, he’s got those thick brows, big eyes..."

    Su An suppressed a smirk. "Jing Huan, I’ve been divorced and I’m not looking to settle down. Zu Ying’s alright, but he’s not for me."

    Zuo Jinghuan persisted. "Hey, no rush! When you’re ready, just consider him. My dad’s a deadbeat, but damn, he’s hot. Zu Ying got his looks without the baggage. His kids would be cute too..."

    After dropping Lu Jin'an at the hospital, Zuo Zuying schemed to bump into Dong Dongdong.

    One day, he brushed past her on the street; the next, he sat beside her at a restaurant, showing off his flashy act every chance he got.

    Sure enough, Dong Dongdong noticed him fast.

    With Lu Jin'an stuck in the hospital, she was climbing the walls from boredom. Soon enough, they got talking.

    Zuo Zuying knew a little about everything—no matter the topic, he could jump right in.

    He even played it smooth with stuff women loved: fashion, skincare, wellness, food—you name it.

    Dong Dongdong, who hadn’t gotten where she was by being naive, saw right through his act.

    But why would a guy like him bother? Money, obviously.

    If he could keep her entertained, fine—she had plenty to spare.

    And hey, he was easy on the eyes.

    "Zuo, you know so much and your mouth’s so sweet. You look like the type who’s got a dozen boyfriends."

    Zuo Zuying tossed a flirty look. "Dong-jie, I don’t have a single girlfriend—just a few boyfriends."

    Dong Dongdong cackled, while Zuo Zuying smiled ingratiatingly. "Dong-jie, seeing you laugh like that, any man would be glued to you. And I’m not just flattering you."

    Dong Dongdong acted coy. "Don’t you think I’m too old?"

    Zuo Zuying gave a little shoulder shake and pouted. "That’s because they’ve got no taste. Young girls can’t match a mature woman’s charm like yours. You’re what they call... what they call..."

    "Call what?" Dong Dongdong flipped her hair, eyes sparkling.

    Zuo Zuying’s face lit up. "An A-grade cougar!"

    "A-grade cougar?"

    Dong Dongdong repeated the words with amusement, finding Zuo Zuying even more entertaining. "Your Dong-jie has seen plenty of men, but a little devil like you? That’s a first."

    Zuo Zuying grinned suggestively. "Dong-jie, you clearly don’t understand men yet. Give me half a chance, and I’ll show you what real pleasure feels like."

    Dong Dongdong purred, "Oh? You know about a woman’s pleasure?"

    Zuo Zuying winked, laying it on thick, leaving Dong Dongdong completely enchanted.

    Even when Lu Jin’an showed up wounded to offer his New Year greetings, she turned him away.

    "Dong-jie, why’d you come to a backwater like A City? You should’ve gone south to the coast—loads of money there, plus party hubs that’ll make you feel amazing."

    "Oh? What kind of paradise~?" Dong Dongdong leaned in closer.

    Zuo Zuying looked at her face just inches away, calmly propped a finger against her shoulder to push her back, holding her at arm’s length with a teasing expression.

    The playful tension between them made her crave more.

    "Places where money flows like water—paradise for both men and women. Want to see for yourself, Dong-jie?" Zuo Zuying’s voice dripped with temptation.

    "Truth is, you and I are cut from the same cloth."

    "Really?"

    Dong Dongdong leaned in again, her arm pressed tightly against his.

    "Sister gets the feeling you’re here for more than just business."

    Zuo Zuying stiffened, nearly jumping out of his chair.

    "Hah, I am here for you~, Dong-jie~"

    As Dong Dongdong moved to throw herself at him, Zuo Zuying pointed to an ornate vintage gramophone. "How about a dance, Dong-jie?"

    Dong Dongdong paused, then flashed a hungry stare. "Heh, didn’t take you for a romantic."

    Zuo Zuying snapped his fingers. "Music~"

    Dong Dongdong coyly extended her plump hand, four gemstone rings glittering.

    But Zuo Zuying didn’t take it—instead launching into a solo dance: popping his hips, dropping low, running his hands down his thighs, then rising slowly.

    His face twisted between pain, pleasure, and puppy-dog innocence.

    He spun around, tossed his head with chin held high, eyes glazed over as his large, bony hand slid down from his chin, pelvis thrusting, then turned back to scorch Dong Dongdong with a smoldering gaze—pointing at her before gliding backward in a slow, deliberate slide.

    Hands pressed against his chest, he dragged them downward slowly until reaching his abs, then whipped around to thrust out his buttocks, his ample rear quivering like a vibrator.

    Dong Dongdong completely short-circuited. Her jaw dropped as she gaped at Zuo Zuying, the sluttiest man alive, baffled why she was the one stuck menstruating.

    Dong Dongdong's bodyguard-driver Hao Meng glared at the scandalous seducer with naked hostility.

    This was next-level shamelessness. Though a certified horn-dog, this was the first time beauty made him see red with murderous rage—he itched to strangle the bastard.

    An hour later, after several dance rounds with Zuo Zuying, Dong Dongdong's legs gave out. Zuo Zuying exited the hotel clutching a HK$350,000 check.

    Staring at the check, he felt suddenly adrift—what was he even running south for?
