Heartthrob, Your Image is Crumbling!

Chapter 428: Dating Two Girlfriends

"You're terrible~"Zhou Yuwen held Zheng Yanyan, his hand resting on the inner part of her thigh. Even though she voiced words of rejection, when he leaned in, she closed her eyes and immediately began kissing him.

After all, she had spent the entire previous night feeling miserable over him, genuinely believing their relationship was over. Now that Zhou Yuwen was coaxing her so gently, she felt reassured of her place in his heart, tossing all her previous worries aside.

Even though Lu Lin was right outside, Zheng Yanyan didn't mind. Back when she hadn't known about the relationship between Lu Lin and Zhou Yuwen, she had been perfectly comfortable being intimate with him in the same room as Lu Lin. Now that everything was out in the open, she cared even less.

Besides, being intimate with Zhou Yuwen with just a wall separating them gave her a certain thrill. She wanted Lu Lin to know that she was the one Zhou Yuwen doted on the most. She couldn't act weak in front of Lu Lin forever.

Having figured this out, Zheng Yanyan went from defense to offense. She proactively wrapped her arms around his neck, lifting her body slightly to deepen the kiss.

To be honest, tall girls looked stunning in tight skirts, especially someone like Zheng Yanyan. Her long, fair legs were pressed tightly together beneath the red fabric as she actively pressed against Zhou Yuwen, tangling her limbs with his to pull him down onto the bed.

Zhou Yuwen saw right through her little scheme but didn't object. Following her lead, he pressed down on her, and her small camisole was quickly and efficiently discarded.

During the process, Zheng Yanyan's moans were noticeably louder than usual, mixed with praises of how amazing and incredible he was. It sounded as though she was putting on a performance specifically for Lu Lin to hear.

Zhou Yuwen didn't feel any particular way about it and simply went with the flow. Truth be told, the more they fell into the rhythm of an old couple, the longer his endurance became, lacking that initial spark of novelty. It wasn't until later, when the sudden realization hit him that he would be spending the night with both Zheng Yanyan and Lu Lin, that his excitement flared. He looked down at the flushed face beneath him, anticipation building at the thought of having both girls together later.

With that thought, an intense rush of sensation hit him.

Now, both of them felt incredibly comfortable.

After finishing, Zhou Yuwen lay in bed, holding Zheng Yanyan in his arms.

While she was deeply enjoying this moment of tender intimacy, a sliver of conscience prompted her to whisper, "Is it really okay for us to do this? Linlin is still waiting for us outside."

"Hasn't it always been like this?" Zhou Yuwen asked.

"But it was different back then~" Zheng Yanyan mumbled, leaning against him. Fresh from a quick shower, her hair cascaded loosely around her, radiating a soft, gentle aura that perfectly framed her snow-white shoulders.

"Oh, not bad," he teased. "You actually know the difference now."

"With how loud you were screaming earlier, I thought you were doing it intentionally."

"You're terrible~" Having her inner thoughts completely exposed, her face burned bright red.

Zhou Yuwen just smiled and asked if she had eaten anything yet.

He had already grabbed a meal outside with Jiang Xinyi before coming back, but since Zheng Yanyan and Lu Lin had been waiting for him at the hotel all day, they had definitely skipped eating.

"Go out and tell Linlin to get ready," he instructed.

"I'll take you both to the mall for dinner in a bit, and we can buy you some clothes while we're at it."

"Really?!"

Her eyes sparkled with excitement. Although she wasn't lacking any garments, what girl would ever complain about having too many? Besides, it really had been a long time since Zhou Yuwen took her shopping.

"Of course it's true. Hurry up and go," he chuckled.

"Mhm!" Thrilled to share the good news, she wrapped herself in the white bath towel from her recent shower and rushed toward the door. Just before leaving the room, she remembered something, dashed back to plant a firm kiss on his cheek, and cheered, "Hubby, I love you to death!"

With that, she finally strutted out on her long, slender legs.

Stepping outside, she found Lu Lin curled up alone on the sofa, playing on her phone.

Zheng Yanyan called out her name twice, but got no response. Feeling a bit exasperated, she ran over and shook her friend's arm. "Linlin!"

Only then did Lu Lin belatedly pull out an earbud and ask what she wanted.

Realizing that she was wearing headphones, Zheng Yanyan felt both annoyed and amused. "Why are you wearing headphones? I called you so many times and you didn't even answer."

"Do you really not know why I'm wearing headphones?" Lu Lin replied flatly.

The sheer embarrassment of that statement hit Zheng Yanyan hard. Blushing furiously, she stammered, "Um, Zhou Yuwen said to get ready. He's taking us out shopping."

"Oh, I'm already ready." Lu Lin was still wearing the same black camisole as earlier.

"You're going out just like that?" Zheng Yanyan asked.

"How else should I go out?"

"Alright, then wait for me."

Zheng Yanyan scurried back to the room to change.

In the end, the two girls stepped out in matching outfits: a black tight skirt and a red tight skirt. The only difference was that Lu Lin paired hers with black thigh-high socks, while Zheng Yanyan opted for white ones.

Both of them possessed remarkably slender and long legs, making the skirt-and-sock combination an absolute feast for the eyes. When Zhou Yuwen emerged from the room, his eyes instantly lit up at the sight.

Of course, that wasn't the most important part.

What truly mattered was that in the past, he had to hold one while hiding the other. Now, there was no need for secrecy. He directly wrapped an arm around each of them, sighing contentedly. "Ah, I finally get to enjoy the blessings of having two beauties by my side."

Zheng Yanyan giggled at his remark, rolling her eyes playfully. "Look at you, showing off."

Lu Lin remained her usual self, expressionless and silent, like an undisturbed well.

Zhou Yuwen drove them straight to the fourth floor of the nearest Wanda Plaza for a meal. Both he and Lu Lin were the indecisive types, leaving all the planning to Zheng Yanyan, who enthusiastically demanded they eat bullfrog.

Naturally, when the food arrived, she insisted on taking pictures, demanding that everyone be in the frame.

Lu Lin instinctively refused. "Just take pictures with Zhou Yuwen. Leave me out of it."

"Why? Aren't we a family? We should totally take a picture together! Come on, lean in!" Zheng Yanyan coaxed, trying to pull her closer.

Lu Lin resisted at first, but she couldn't hold her ground when Zhou Yuwen chimed in, urging her to join.

"Let's just consider it a family portrait," he suggested.

Hearing this, Lu Lin deadpanned, "This isn't enough people for a family portrait."

Zhou Yuwen laughed out loud.

In the end, the three of them snapped a photo together. Afterward, Lu Lin firmly instructed Zheng Yanyan not to post it on her Moments.

"It's fine," Zheng Yanyan brushed it off. "No one will guess our actual relationship."

"They'll just think we're really close friends."

"Other people might not know, but won't Shen Yu get suspicious?" Lu Lin countered.

"Uh..."

Yielding to logic, Zheng Yanyan ultimately listened to Lu Lin and kept the photo off her social media.

After dinner, it was time to shop for gifts. Once again, Zheng Yanyan took the lead. Energetic as always, she tried on every nice piece of clothing she spotted and insisted on finding more matching outfits for her and Lu Lin.

Growing up without much affection, Lu Lin secretly enjoyed the feeling of being fussed over by Zheng Yanyan, though she would never show it on her face. She allowed herself to be dragged from store to store, trying on item after item, eventually settling on identical pajamas. While they were browsing, Zheng Yanyan suddenly mentioned that Lu Lin should have told her about everything sooner.

"Linlin, I realized that being sisters with you like this is actually pretty great. We get to spend hubby's money together!"

Overhearing this, Zhou Yuwen scoffed playfully, "Right, you hit the nail on the head. Teaming up to spend my money, huh?"

"Oh, come on, you have plenty of money anyway~" Zheng Yanyan cooed affectionately.

Zhou Yuwen chuckled softly. He wasn't extravagantly wealthy by billionaire standards. Thus far, aside from the few million he had burned while establishing the food delivery company, his stock account still held over fifty million. On top of that, his various companies brought in millions annually, and his novel earnings were likely in the millions as well.

It was more than enough to support a few women.

Furthermore, Zheng Yanyan and Lu Lin were still university students. They weren't blindly chasing after extreme luxury brands. A few thousand yuan for clothes was about their limit. An entire evening of shopping would cost twenty or thirty thousand at most, which was a far cry from the spending habits of someone like Jiang Xinyi.

However, upon further reflection, Zhou Yuwen felt that since both girls were genuinely devoted to him, he ought to show his appreciation properly. He decided to take them to a jewelry store, where he bought them each a heavy, solid gold bracelet.

While making the purchase, his thoughts naturally drifted to Su Qing.

So, without much hesitation, he simply bought three gold bracelets instead of two.

Zheng Yanyan teased him about the extra piece.

"Who's the other old flame?"

"It's for Su Qing."

The moment the name left his lips, Zheng Yanyan instantly fell silent.

Zhou Yuwen gently took her hand and said smoothly, "I bought three gold bracelets hoping that the bond between the three of you will be as strong and pure as solid gold."

Zheng Yanyan immediately pouted. "I have no desire for a bond of gold with her. My only sister is Linlin."

Zhou Yuwen just smiled in response.

He tucked Su Qing's bracelet away securely for later.

The other two bracelets were slipped right onto the wrists of Zheng Yanyan and Lu Lin. These pieces were crafted from pure gold using traditional techniques, setting him back eighty thousand yuan a piece.

They looked absolutely gorgeous on their wrists. Not only was Zheng Yanyan ecstatic, but even Lu Lin felt a profound ripple of emotion as she stared down at the gleaming gold.

The feeling wasn't born out of greed, but rather a strange sense of unworthiness. Zhou Yuwen had casually dropped over eighty thousand yuan on her without blinking, leaving her with an overwhelming feeling that she was not worthy of such a lavish gift.

Zheng Yanyan harbored no such reservations. Her mind was entirely occupied with finding the best way to show off the present her boyfriend had given her. Initially, she wanted to drag Lu Lin into taking a photo together to post on her Moments.

But Lu Lin absolutely refused. Left with no other choice, Zheng Yanyan took photos of her own wrist and uploaded them, adding the caption: 'A new gift from Mr. Zhou!' It was her way of broadcasting that she and Zhou Yuwen were still going strong, and that he doted on her just as much as ever.

Her post was naturally a lavish spread of photos, a minimum of four, though ideally a full grid of nine. She included close-ups of herself wearing the jewelry, standalone shots detailing the gold's weight and price tag, and she even borrowed Lu Lin's bracelet just to make the photos look doubly impressive.

Lu Lin might refuse to show her face, but surely she could lend her bracelet for a quick photo, right?

"Keep pushing your luck," Lu Lin remarked dryly.

"You were just sobbing your eyes out in front of Shen Yu, and now you're posting pictures like this? Think about it—how is she going to react when she sees this?"

Zheng Yanyan froze, completely having forgotten about that angle. After a long moment of hesitation, she couldn't help but suggest, "Then... what if I just block her from seeing it?"

She immediately began tapping away at her phone's privacy settings in dead earnest.

Lu Lin merely rolled her eyes. "Even if you block Shen Yu, what happens when our other classmates see it and tell her?"

Zheng Yanyan definitely wasn't going to block all her classmates. The entire point of posting on her Moments was to show off to them. If she hid it from everyone, what was the point of posting it at all?

She agonized over the dilemma for a long time before finally waving it off. "It's probably fine."

"Who would be that bored?"

'Aren't you exactly that bored?' Lu Lin thought to herself.

However, she decided to drop the subject.

If Zheng Yanyan was so desperate to post it, let her.

Fully satisfied, Zheng Yanyan uploaded her gallery of pictures. Overflowing with joy, she skipped over, threw her arms around Zhou Yuwen's arm, and squealed, "Ah, I love hubby even more now!"

Laden with shopping bags filled with jewelry and clothes, while holding Lu Lin's hand with his left, Zhou Yuwen could only respond with a mild chuckle.

To be fair, he was drawing quite a bit of attention in the mall today. After all, he was walking with a girl on each arm, and both of them were absolute knockouts.

Everywhere they went, passersby couldn't help but steal second glances.

Some onlookers were burning with envy, muttering in their heads, 'Damn, this guy is swimming in luck!'

But a far larger number of people rationalized it away. 'Impossible. One has to be his sister, and the other his girlfriend.'

'Maybe they're both his sisters.'

'There is no way they're both his girlfriends!'

'Exactly!'

Both men and women alike were whispering and gossiping as they walked by.

Zheng Yanyan rather relished the attention. As they stepped onto the escalator, she couldn't help covering her mouth and giggling, bringing up the whispers about them being his sisters.

Zhou Yuwen laughed. "You really have no shame."

"What's there to be ashamed of? They'd never believe we're actually all together. Even if they suspected it, they'd never say it out loud."

Zhou Yuwen and Lu Lin exchanged a glance, both seeing the shared helplessness in each other's eyes. It truly felt like they were chaperoning a child.

Aside from shopping for clothes and gold, the trio headed to the top floor to catch a movie. Since they were already out, they figured they might as well find something to pass the time.

As the movie played, Zheng Yanyan practically melted into Zhou Yuwen. She brazenly draped her white-stockinged thigh over his leg and leaned up to demand a kiss.

Zhou Yuwen told her to stop fooling around.

"Who's fooling around?" she pouted. "Isn't the whole point of the movies to make out? You said that yourself."

"That's when it's just the two of us," Zhou Yuwen pointed out. "There are three of us right now."

"So what if there are three? You can kiss me first and then—"

"Shh!" Before Zheng Yanyan could finish her scandalous sentence, Zhou Yuwen quickly covered her mouth, gesturing for her to be quiet.

Zheng Yanyan blinked her big eyes innocently, signaling that she understood.

Over the course of the film, with his arm wrapped around Lu Lin's slender waist, he still ended up locking lips with Zheng Yanyan. In fact, he found himself holding Zheng Yanyan while sneaking kisses with Lu Lin as well.

After pulling back from one such kiss, he glanced over at Lu Lin.

Only to find her staring right back at him in the dim light.

Zhou Yuwen figured he couldn't play favorites.

To his surprise, Lu Lin didn't resist his advances either.

And just like that, after finishing his kiss with Zheng Yanyan, he seamlessly moved on to kissing Lu Lin.

By the time the movie finally ended, it was nearly one in the morning.

Upon returning to the hotel suite, Zhou Yuwen was exhausted and collapsed directly onto the bed.

Meanwhile, Lu Lin and Zheng Yanyan went into the bathroom to shower together.

When they emerged, both were dressed in the brand-new pajamas they had bought earlier.

The sleepwear was incredibly alluring—styled almost like a bikini with scandalously little fabric, save for a semi-transparent, color-matching chiffon veil that draped down over their slender waists.

Zheng Yanyan wore the pink version.

Lu Lin wore the black one.

The delicate chiffon concealed their slender waists while perfectly showing off their incredibly long legs.

Stepping out together like that, the two girls truly looked like a gorgeous pair of twin sisters.
