Jiaxin didn't seem the type to seek revenge, yet as soon as Luo Yang turned his head, he felt a sudden pain in his ribs where she had pinched him.
Luo Yang grimaced and looked at her, but it wasn't appropriate to say anything. He had just calmed An Yuying down, and if he started acting affectionate with Hong Jiaxin now, it would surely trigger An Yuying's jealousy again.
Seeing him trying to bear the pain while pretending nothing happened, Hong Jiaxin smiled sweetly. She didn't stop, continuing to pinch his ribs.
Luo Yang could only look towards An Yuying and communicate with his right hand while subtly placing his left hand on Hong Jiaxin's thigh and gently patting it, signaling her to stop.
Meanwhile, he glanced at her and saw her face feign annoyance, her innocence mixed with allure.
The only downside was that Hong Jiaxin was using all her strength to pinch his ribs.
Consequently, his left hand played on her thigh like it was a piano.
Unable to bear it any longer, Hong Jiaxin first pushed his hand away and then pinched his ribs again. Her left hand also rested on her right leg to keep his left hand away from her thigh.
Luo Yang had no choice but to grasp Hong Jiaxin's right wrist to stop her from pinching him. She tried to pull her hand back but lacked the strength, so he continued holding it.
This was the first time Luo Yang openly held hands with both the school beauty and the village beauty, looking left and right, fully satisfied with himself.
In less than 5 minutes, the car had already entered the main street of Xiaoshulin Market.
Luo Yang thought buying a bathtub wouldn't take much time, and when they passed Xia Yun's clothing store, he didn't stop, just drove past it.
Upon arriving at the kitchen and bath store, the beauties were looking to buy bathtubs, and the store had several available. The designs were also alright.
However, the beauties didn't like them.
Actually, sharing one bathtub among a few people would have been fine, but An Yuying disagreed. It wasn't the sharing she minded, but the fact that Luo Yang had bought a bathtub specifically for Hong Jiaxin.
In the eyes of others, An Yuying was Luo Yang's girlfriend, but he had bought a bathtub for another beauty, which made her very jealous. Regardless, she was determined to compete with Hong Jiaxin secretly, unwilling to easily let go of her boyfriend.
"Luo Yang, can we go to the city to buy one?" An Yuying asked sweetly.
Qin Piao and Tang Guihua also wanted to go to the city with Luo Yang, echoing An Yuying's suggestion.
Their stated reason was to buy a bathtub, but in truth, they were eager to see how Luo Yang handled himself. They just wanted an excuse to go along.
Luo Yang could see through this.
"Okay. I have to meet someone first. Let's all go together. If you wish to buy clothes, go ahead, there are discounts available," he said.
While speaking, Luo Yang walked out of the kitchen and bath store and led the beauties on foot to Xia Yun's clothing store.
A handsome man with beautiful women, they were an eye-catching group, turning many heads.
Tang Guihua then drove the car to the front of the clothing store and parked it, waiting for Luo Yang and the others.
She knew Xia Yun but wasn't very close to her.
A little later, Luo Yang and others went into Xia Yun's clothing store.
"Sister Xia, I've brought people to buy clothes. Can we get a discount?" Luo Yang asked with a smile.
"Of course," Xia Yun responded with a beaming smile.
"Everyone pick two outfits, from underwear to outerwear, as one set. I'll pay for it," Luo Yang generously said.
The beauties were thrilled upon hearing this and began to choose the clothes they liked.
That noon, Luo Yang had bought underwear for Hong Jiaxin at the store. Worried that Xia Yun might slip up, he said, "Sister Xia, let's talk about something."
Xia Yun then stepped outside the store with Luo Yang under the mango trees on the sidewalk.
Luo Yang spoke softly, "Sister Xia, about buying the underwear at noon, don't mention it. Hehe…"
Upon hearing this, Xia Yun gave a provocative smile and whispered, "I understand. Your secret is safe with me."
Saying this, she flashed a flirtatious smile.
