Chapter 221: Chapter 220: Arrogant and Unreasonable Several men stopped to look, not realizing their partners had walked far away. Lin Tian could only cross himself and pray for them—these men, bewitched by beauties, were going to kneel and break who knows how many washboards when they got home. If the three beauties were the center of attention, Lin Tian was the center of the center. It wasn’t just because of his good looks, but also because he was standing amidst the three women, chatting and laughing with them. Those men wished they could beat Lin Tian up and drag him away, putting themselves in his place. "Lin Tian, you need to be careful, oh. Look at their murderous glares, they’re all targeting you," Xiao Manxuan said with a giggly tease. "What’s there to fear? Bring them on, one by one, and I’ll lay them flat. It’s you girls who need to be careful. Those women are looking at you with envy, jealousy, and hatred, and the men with wolfish stares. You three little lambs, beware of being devoured, heh heh," Lin Tian chuckled. Ning Luoxi glanced at him and said, "Your gaze is no different from theirs." Man, that’s insulting. Do they even compare to me? Lin Tian touched his nose and smiled, "My look is one of appreciation for beauty. I despise them all." "Lin Tian, your ’appreciation’ is so blatantly obvious, oh," Xiao Manxuan immediately pierced through his little ruse. "Er, that shop over there has nice clothes. Let’s go take a look," Lin Tian said, pointing at a women’s clothing boutique in an attempt to divert their attention. Women have an inherent weakness for beautiful clothes; even if they’re beautiful themselves, they always want to dress up even more beautifully. "Welcome," the clerk greeted Lin Tian and his companions with a slight bow. Although she was well-trained, she couldn’t hide the astonishment on her face. The impact of seeing Zhang Lingyu and the other two women was too strong; even as another woman, she couldn’t help but take a few extra glances. The store was spacious with many clerks and a fair number of female customers browsing. They all glanced over at the group of beauties, and of course, at the oblivious Lin Tian in the middle of it all. But Lin Tian didn’t feel it was such a fortunate situation, these three women weren’t his girlfriends after all. He couldn’t understand what those men were so envious of. His role today was just one thing: an overworked porter. If it hadn’t been for Fang Ming’s instructions and the fact that he was Xiao Manxuan’s bodyguard, Lin Tian would rather be at home reading or sleeping. "Sir, hello, I’m the manager here. If there’s anything you need, just let me know. You really are a good man for accompanying your girlfriend to shop for clothes," a clerk in a skirted uniform smiled at Lin Tian, naturally and appropriately throwing in a compliment. Although she didn’t know which one was Lin Tian’s girlfriend, complimenting a man like that couldn’t be wrong. With the three women busy picking out clothes, Lin Tian grew bored. He looked at the manager’s nametag—it was Luo—and noticed she wasn’t bad-looking either, her face lightly made up and fairly pretty. "Manager Luo, you flatter me. They wanted to go shopping, so I just had to risk my life to accompany some beauties," Lin Tian said with a smile. Manager Luo apparently misunderstood and asked in surprise, "All three of them are your girlfriends?" "If they were willing," Lin Tian replied, touching his nose. The three women each had their own personalities; who could make them willingly do that? "Manager Luo, give us your judgment here," a woman’s voice came at that moment. Lin Tian and Manager Luo looked over, only to see a young woman with her eyebrows raised, glaring at three women—it was Xiao Manxuan and her companions. What’s going on, how could a dispute arise just upon entering, could one not enjoy shopping in peace anymore! Lin Tian frowned and walked towards the group, with Manager Luo following along. The young woman was quite pretty, with an above-average figure and face, and was clad in designer clothes and accessories. However, her eyes and brows made her seem difficult to get along with, the kind of person who was not easy to please. "Manager Luo, I’m a regular customer here, and they’re fighting with me over this dress. I find them unwelcome, please ask them to leave," the young woman commanded imperiously. The clothes in the store were all unique; once someone had made their choice, there were no more for others. Ning Luoxi was holding onto one half of a dress, unwilling to relent to the young woman who grasped the other half. "Who chose it first?" Manager Luo couldn’t just drive people out at will; offending any customer was not a good thing. "Of course it was me," Ning Luoxi said coldly. Once she had set her mind on something, she was unbending. How could she possibly bow her head to the other party, especially when the other party’s attitude was so poor? "Hmph, it’s just that you beat me by two steps, but the moment I walked in, I took a liking to this dress. Moreover, I’m a regular here, with an impeccable purchasing record. But who knows if you can afford it, perhaps you’re just trying on for fun. I wouldn’t want someone else wearing the dress I have my eye on," the woman said as she sized up Ning Luoxi. There was deep jealousy in her eyes, but when she saw Ning Luoxi’s school uniform, the jealousy turned into disdain, as if reclaiming her sense of superiority. The young woman spoke sharply and was very mean. Upon hearing this, both the staff and the customers in the store frowned. Most of the patrons who would shop in this business district were wealthy, and no matter what their quality was, they still cared about face. Such cutting remarks came off as very classless. Ning Luoxi did not get angry nor did she speak. She just looked at the young woman coldly. That look was one of contempt, not taking the young woman seriously at all, like a tiger looking at a rabbit—the rabbit’s bouncing around was just a joke in the eyes of the tiger. The look in her eyes completely infuriated the young woman. She felt ignored, and turned her head to shout at Manager Luo, "You let her cause trouble in the store and treat a regular customer this way, I want to file a complaint!" "Zhao, what’s wrong, who’s bullying you?" A woman walked over and asked the young woman, apparently an acquaintance. "Sister Jin, it’s these three vixen elves, bullying me, trying to snatch the dress I had my eyes on." Now she went even further, lumping Xiao Manxuan and Zhang Lingyu together and reversing the roles, portraying herself as the victim. Sister Jin’s eyebrows shot up, not bothering to ask who was right or wrong. She slapped her hand towards Xiao Manxuan since she was the closest to her. Lin Tian moved his feet to block in front of Xiao Manxuan and caught Sister Jin’s wrist. With a light push, she stumbled backwards. "Get lost, don’t force me to hit a woman!" Lin Tian said coldly, glaring at the unreasonable Sister Jin. Sister Jin felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on her. She shivered, never having experienced someone’s gaze exerting such tremendous pressure. But having been accustomed to arrogance, she couldn’t swallow her pride and leave. She stood there, at a loss. Manager Luo looked at Lin Tian in surprise, as he had managed to subdue Sister Jin with a single look. She knew Sister Jin, who was fierce and unreasonable. Her husband owned a taekwondo gym, they were not short of money, and certainly not lacking people to fight. "Assault, there’s an assault!" The woman surnamed Zhao suddenly shouted loudly.
