Chapter 38 Love Triangle: Shen Shao Snatches the Princess Publicly

“Ah—” She stepped into a puddle, yelping, shrinking back—eyes pleading at Tao Yu. “Yubai—the rain’s too heavy. My mom’s handmade shoes—they’ll get soaked going back.”
Tao Yu froze.
People around gossiped.
Left—an obsessed, wealthy school beauty. Right—Lin Yixuan, like a sister, their families close. Who’d he choose?
They were curious.
Seconds later—Tao Yu turned, gave his umbrella to Lin Yixuan.
As expected…
People looked at Su Niansheng—pity, sympathy, regret, or amusement.
In this unequal love—she was always the one-sided pursuer. No matter how beautiful, how much she gave—he didn’t love her.
All her efforts—just chasing after him.
“Thank you Yubai—you’re the best to me!”
Lin Yixuan took the umbrella—smug, almost shoving it in Su Niansheng’s face.
So what if you’re flirtatious?
The one you want most—will always choose me, not glance at you!
“F**k!”
Duan Chengyu watched—gritted teeth, cursed.
“This pretty boy—wants Xiaoqian sis, but won’t let go of others. So trash! Makes my fists itch!”
“Why does Xiaoqian sis even like him?”
Su Niansheng was disgusted—lifted her bag to run in the rain. Tao Yu grabbed her wrist: “Su Niansheng—wait here…”
Before he finished—a deep car engine roared.
People looked up—through misty rain, a pure black Koenigsegg Gemera Mega-GT four-seat supercar split the traffic, speeding to the gate.
Rain glistened on its futuristic, powerful sheen—smooth, dynamic lines, low-key luxury. Everyone gawked.
“This… Koenigsegg? The limited-edition top supercar? Seeing it here—mind blown!”
“Wow—so cool! Like a night beast!”
“Beyond cool—price is astronomical. I thought I’d only see it on TV auto shows.”
“Wonder who owns it—why here?”
Amid chatter—the Koenigsegg stopped 20 meters away.
People stood on tiptoe—eager to see the owner. The driver opened the door, held a huge black umbrella, walked back, opened the rear door.
First—a polished black leather shoe. Ankle between sock and pant—sexy. Then—a nearly 1.9m tall, upright figure.
He looked like he came from a gala—wore a custom suit. Tailored to show broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs—elegant and noble.
Especially his top-tier handsome face—sharp angles hidden under the umbrella. Each step—exuded imposing grace.
Shen Junxi.
“Oh my…”
People gasped.
The person—hotter than the car!
“No wonder—it’s Shen Shao!”
“Ahhh first time seeing Shen Shao in a suit—like a god descending! My legs are weak!”
“Damn—I get why school fan girls are crazy. Even as a guy—I can’t look away!”
Not just them—Su Niansheng was shocked too.
He… Shen Xiaoxi—too hot today!
Used to his casual/sports look—now in a suit, he lost boyishness, gained mature charm. Every hair seemed to glow—dashing, making her heart skip.
Too stunning.
“WOW!”
Duan Chengyu—who knew him well—was stunned, then whistled.
“Too cool!”
“Zhong Zhe—you played small today. Brother Junxi went big!”
Zhong Zhe raised his brows: “Why is Junxi here?”
“Hehe—didn’t expect that?”
Duan Chengyu proudly waved his phone.
WeChat showed: Brother Junxi—Xiaoqian sis is with Tao Yu. (Location: Kyoto University)
“Brother—you’re always faster!”
He sent this when he saw Tao Yu in the studio.
“If I guess right—he was talking about the Cross-River Bridge project at a charity banquet. Such important business—yet he came…”
Zhong Zhe shook his head, smiled.
Never seen him like this—clearly cares deeply for Su Niansheng.
Rain grew heavier—mist spread, painting the world gray.
The youth held a black umbrella—slowly approached, like a medieval prince—handsome, unreal. School, road, cars, people… vanished. Only him—an inexplicable destiny. Until a steady force on her arm—Su Niansheng snapped back.
Shen Junxi took her from Tao Yu.
“Why are you here?”
She stared—umbrella fully covered her.
Shen Junxi: “To pick you up.”
People around erupted.
“Shen Shao came just to pick Su Niansheng!”
“What’s their relationship?”
“Shen Shao ‘snatching’ Su Niansheng from Tao Yu—so cool, so domineering! Total CEO move!”
“Three people—my heart races. Total love triangle!”
“Are Shen Shao and Su Niansheng as flirty as rumors say?”
“Impossible! Shen Shao’s status—how would he be with an ordinary person?”
“My question—how did you know I’m here?”
Su Niansheng looked at him—eyes curved, sparkling with excitement.
Seeing him—all the earlier slander, accusations, weird looks—disgust, irritation—vanished.
Rainy day—yet her mood was sunny!
