Many were jealous, like Shen Yushu; nearly every man at the auction cast envious glances at Lu Ming.
They couldn't comprehend why Lu Ming, a son-in-law who guarded graves, was simultaneously favored by Yuan Keying and Qiao Ling.
It was unbelievable!
After all, among the many young, wealthy, and handsome men present, several had pursued Jiang Mengxin, Jiang Lan, Yuan Keying, and Qiao Ling, only to fail without exception.
Yet, embarrassingly.
At this moment, these four stunning women were all gathered around Lu Ming!
What a divine lineup!
To say they weren't jealous would be a lie.
Yuan Keying shot Qiao Ling a glare, feeling quite displeased. She had thought Jiang Mengxin was her only rival, but unexpectedly, Qiao Ling emerged as such a formidable competitor!
Competing with Qiao Ling for a man wouldn't be easy.
Yuan Keying let out a cold snort and said, "Oh, isn't this the elusive Dr. Qiao? It's rare to see you. What, you know my good brother too?"
As she spoke, Yuan Keying clung tightly to Lu Ming's arm.
Qiao Ling's brows furrowed, her own jealousy simmering.
Qiao Ling said coldly, "Lu Ming and I share many common topics, common aspirations, our spirits are highly unified! Unlike some people who only resort to dirty and vulgar means to force themselves into a relationship."
What?
Yuan Keying exploded, "Who are you calling forcefully binding?"
Qiao Ling let out a cold chuckle, "Do you see Lu Ming willing to be held by you? You're just being delusional, clinging to his arm."
Anxious and enraged, Yuan Keying turned to Lu Ming with a娇滴滴 voice and asked, "Good brother, tell me, do you like it when I hold you?"
Lu Ming's forehead was covered in black lines; he was incredibly awkward.
How was he supposed to answer this?
As the Dragon Warlord, Lu Ming feared nothing and no one. No matter how formidable the opponent, he could make them vanish with a smile; yet, when faced with women's issues, he was like a primary school student, completely at a loss.
Just then.
Jiang Lan's jealousy also boiled over.
Unable to watch any longer, she yanked Yuan Keying's hand away and chided, "Pulling and grabbing in public, do you have any semblance of a lady's demeanor?"
Yuan Keying retorted, "What business is it of yours? You're just Lu Gege's younger sister-in-law. What, could it be you've also developed improper thoughts about Lu Gege?"
Jiang Lan's face instantly flushed crimson, "Who, who has improper thoughts?! Don't talk nonsense!"
Her face turned as red as a ripe apple.
Anyone with eyes could see that Jiang Lan was smitten with Lu Ming.
Qiao Ling frowned repeatedly.
She thought to herself: I didn't expect Lu Ming to be so attractive to women; there are too many rivals!
However, Qiao Ling didn't intend to back down.
The more rivals there were, the more it proved Lu Ming's excellence.
Only excellent men attracted more women!
Therefore, Qiao Ling said to Jiang Lan, "Second Miss, as Lu Ming's 'family,' you absolutely must not have any impure thoughts."
She deliberately emphasized the word 'family.'
With that relationship acting as a barrier, Jiang Lan had no way to pursue Lu Ming!
Jiang Lan felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.
But...
There was nothing she could do, given her awkward relationship with Lu Ming.
The three women were on the verge of a shouting match.
Only then did Jiang Mengxin snap back to reality. Something was wrong; why were these three arguing? Jiang Mengxin was Lu Ming's fiancée!
Were other women fighting fiercely over her fiancé, essentially cuckolding her in public?
Although Jiang Mengxin disliked Lu Ming.
She detested being cuckolded even more!
So, she let out a cold laugh and raised her voice, "Keying, and Dr. Qiao, please maintain a certain distance from my fiancé. I don't want others to misunderstand your relationship, thank you."
As she spoke, Jiang Mengxin took Lu Ming's hand!
This was a declaration of ownership!
The public display of affection infuriated Jiang Lan, Qiao Ling, and Yuan Keying, yet they couldn't find fault with it.
After all, she was the original wife.
After holding her breath for a while, Yuan Keying said indignantly, "Mengxin, I heard you're very dissatisfied with Lu Gege, you hate him, don't you? Why are you acting so loving now?"
Jiang Mengxin smiled, "Whether we are loving or not is between Lu Ming and me. What business is it of yours, an outsider?"
Outsider?!
Yuan Keying was almost bursting with anger.
A look of dejection appeared on both Qiao Ling's and Jiang Lan's faces. The term 'outsider' wasn't just referring to Yuan Keying.
The four women surrounded Lu Ming.
They argued incessantly.
From the stage in the distance, Xu Jun, the son of the mayor, shook his head, saying with great admiration, "Divine Doctor Lu is indeed a dragon among men, to be loved by four talented and beautiful women simultaneously, truly impressive. However, having too many women can be troublesome. Divine Doctor Lu will have his hands full in the future."
As he spoke, another commotion arose from the entrance.
And it was more boisterous than any previous disturbances.
Everyone turned their heads, curious about what great figure had arrived.
The Jiang sisters, Yuan Keying, and Qiao Ling were all top beauties. Could there be a more dazzling woman than them?
The answer was: yes!
Shen Yushu's eyes widened as he stared, captivated, at the woman gracefully striding down the red carpet.
She had arrived.
The woman who appeared this time had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding a heroic aura.
Her appearance instantly dimmed all the other women present.
"To stand on the highest peak, and survey all below!"
She was the pride of the Murong family, the Three-Star General whose name echoed throughout China—Murong Shuang!
With every step Murong Shuang took, she was met with flowers and applause.
She was the goddess of men, the dream of women.
Her presence was as dazzling as the sun, almost blinding the onlookers!
Murong Shuang entered the venue like a queen, striding with immense confidence.
Unmatched dominance.
Unrivaled beauty.
Shen Yushu swallowed again and whispered, "She's too beautiful. Unlike the beauty of the previous women, General Murong's beauty carries a touch of martial prowess!"
His subordinate beside him chuckled and asked, "Young Master Shen, are you going to pursue this one too?"
"I..." Shen Yushu's face turned pale with fright. He covered his subordinate's mouth and kicked him, "Are you crazy? How can you casually speak about General Murong like that? Watch your damn mouth! If General Murong hears this, both of us will die!"
Even someone as lawless as Shen Yushu feared Murong Shuang immensely.
One could imagine the lofty status this woman held in Jinling.
Shen Yushu stared at Murong Shuang and whispered to his subordinate, "There is only one man in this world worthy of a noble woman like General Murong, and that is the Dragon Warlord, who commands the skies and leads armies with unparalleled courage!!!"
