Bella blinked her eyes and looked at Li Chen, and Audrey was also looking at him expectantly.
In the West, escorting a lady home is definitely a gentleman’s act—generally, the man is invited in for a cup of coffee after reaching downstairs of her home.
In Huaxia, actually, it’s similar and even more evident because if the woman doesn’t want to, she won’t let you take her home. Agreeing to let you take her home usually implies
But I digress. Over to Li Chen, he smiled slightly, then stood up and bowed very elegantly: "My pleasure."
Bella covered her mouth and giggled, reaching out to nudge Audrey, whose lips also bore a smile.
Afterward, the four of them headed toward Audrey’s house.
Li Chen and Audrey walked together, Bella and another woman walked together. Bella’s gaze was fixed on Li Chen, occasionally whispering and then bursting into laughter with the other woman.
"What are they laughing about?" Li Chen whispered with a smile beside Audrey.
Audrey blushed, knowing all too well the gossip between these two girls.
"Do you really want to know?" Audrey felt a bit embarrassed to tell Li Chen.
"It’s fine," Li Chen laughed.
Men and women, they are all rascals.
At that moment, Bella caught Li Chen’s glance and flashed him a charming smile.
Upon reaching Audrey’s doorstep, Li Chen stopped, about to say his goodbyes, when Bella spoke up:
"Since we’re here, why not come up for a bit? I believe you’re free, and you’d probably enjoy spending more time with Audrey."
Li Chen shrugged and said with a smile, "I’d love to. I was actually worried you wouldn’t let me in."
"How could that be? Otherwise, Audrey would tear up the bed tonight!" Bella laughed heartily,
Audrey couldn’t take it anymore and led the way into the room.
Bella and the other woman followed, with Li Chen bringing up the rear.
Being at the back, his gaze inevitably lingered on these girls. Indeed, Audrey’s other two companions were also quite attractive—a case of birds of a feather flock together. Audrey was a pretty girl, so naturally, her friends were beauties too.
Bella and the other girl were indeed beautiful,
But Audrey was still a bit more attractive.
Entering the room, all the girls sat down, and Li Chen, with a smile, took a seat as well,
and Audrey linked her arm through his.
They began to chat on a wide range of topics, enjoying the lively conversation, and eventually, the girls decided to play a card game.
So, Audrey and the girls headed up to her room, climbing the stairs with Li Chen at the back again.
Reaching the top, Audrey opened the door, and the three girls went in.
Li Chen was taken aback.
