172: Chapter 173 Lengba is a Warrior

Leaning against the door panel, she could still hear bursts of laughter coming from the living room outside; she covered her burning cheeks, feeling both shy and amused.

It's over, she's been completely seen through by this group of women!

Meanwhile, in the living room, after the laughter subsided, the women looked at each other, the envy in their eyes genuine and palpable.

By noon, the alluring aroma of food permeated the entire room.

Da Mimi had specifically ordered takeout from a high-end restaurant, setting a table full of dishes.

She walked up to Leng Ba's tightly closed bedroom door and knocked: "Leng Ba, come out and eat! I ordered your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs and squirrel-shaped mandarin fish!"

There was no movement inside.

Da Mimi suppressed a laugh and added: "If you don't come out now, we're going to eat all the good food!"

Inside the room, Leng Ba was burying herself in the blankets like an ostrich, but the tantalizing aroma of the food seeped through the cracks in the door, desperately teasing her sense of smell.

Her physical exertion from yesterday to today had indeed been immense, and she was already famished; her stomach growled uncontrollably.

In the end, appetite triumphed over shame.

With a click, the door opened a crack, and Leng Ba poked half her head out, her cheeks still flushed and her eyes darting around evasively.

"Come on out, no one is laughing at you anymore." Da Mimi pulled her out with a chuckle.

Leng Ba kept her head down, moved silently to the dining table, plopped down, and then...

She began to devour the food like a storm sweeping through clouds!

Her demeanor was just like a refugee who hadn't eaten for three days.

The other women had originally intended to tease her a bit more, but seeing her eat with such relish (and ferocity), they also picked up their chopsticks and joined in the feast.

However, as they ate, everyone's gaze couldn't help but drift toward Leng Ba.

Nazha couldn't help but ask, blinking her large eyes: "Leng Ba, eat slowly, no one is fighting you for it... But why are you so hungry? Didn't you have dinner last night?"

Leng Ba was busy tackling a piece of pork rib and replied vaguely: "Mm... I had too much physical exertion, so I'm hungry."

"Too much physical exertion?" Zhu Xudan tilted her head, "Is signing a contract that physically demanding? Does it require all-night exertion?"

Leng Ba was choked by the question and nearly coughed; her eyes darted around, and she hurriedly lowered her head to drink soup to cover it up: "It... it was just a long conversation, mental exertion! Yes, mental exertion!"

Her explanation, which was the equivalent of a thief posting a sign saying "there is no silver buried here," caused a moment of silence at the dining table.

Tong Liya was picking up some greens with her chopsticks, but upon hearing the words "too much physical exertion," she didn't know what she thought of, but two clouds of red immediately flew to her cheeks, and her hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly.

She had deeply experienced Jiang Jing's superhuman stamina and his ability to wear someone out; she could absolutely understand Leng Ba's exhausted state... She likely suffered quite a bit of "hardship."

Sitting opposite her, the mischievous Da Mimi keenly captured Leng Ba's panic and Tong Liya's unnatural blush.

Da Mimi's gaze swept back and forth between the two, and some indescribable images and guesses instantly flashed through her mind; she couldn't help but feel her own face heat up, and she subconsciously spat softly: "Pah... the two shameless ones..."

Her voice wasn't loud, but the silence at the table made her words exceptionally clear.

Leng Ba and Tong Liya's faces turned even redder instantly, almost to the point of dripping blood; both of them thought Mimi was talking about her and Jiang Jing, so they lowered their heads simultaneously, wishing they could bury their faces in their bowls.

The reactions of these three people were just too off!

Nazha, Zhu Xudan, and Li Xibing looked at one person, then another; at first they were confused, but then they seemed to understand something, and expressions of shock appeared on their faces one after another!

Nazha even subconsciously covered her small mouth, her eyes wide as saucers; she leaned toward Leng Ba and asked curiously in a breathy voice that she thought was very quiet but was actually audible to everyone at the table: "Leng Ba... him... Jiang Jing... is he... is he really good in bed?"

"Pfft—cough cough cough!" Li Xibing, who was drinking soup, was immediately choked.

Zhu Xudan's face also turned completely red instantly.

This question hit everyone's heart!

Although it was shameful, except for Tong Liya, no one else had experienced it! Their curiosity was about to explode!

Even Tong Liya, who had already experienced it, couldn't help but prick up her ears, a strange sense of comparison inexplicably rising in her heart.

She vaguely looked forward to Leng Ba's answer, as if wanting to defeat Leng Ba in this unspeakable aspect.

An atmosphere that was extremely ambiguous, awkward, and stimulating suddenly permeated the dining table.

All eyes, either directly or secretly, focused on Leng Ba, waiting for her answer.

Leng Ba felt burning hot all over from being stared at; the pork rib in her mouth no longer tasted good, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into right then and there!

This... how was she supposed to answer this!

Being stared at by several pairs of eyes gleaming with gossip and curiosity, Leng Ba's heartbeat began to accelerate uncontrollably.

She subconsciously licked her lips, and the crazy images of last night involuntarily surfaced in her mind—that seemingly tireless, powerful stamina, and that...

She opened her mouth, feeling her throat go a bit dry; she really didn't know how to describe it in words.

Finally, as if giving up the struggle, or perhaps with a hint of secret showing off, she blushed and slowly stretched out both hands to gesture a distance on the table, then quickly retracted one hand, leaving only one index finger held up.

Her voice was as small as a mosquito's hum: "About an hour..."

"Hiss—"

Except for Tong Liya, who had been mentally prepared, and Da Mimi, who had heard rumors, Nazha, Zhu Xudan, and Li Xibing almost simultaneously gasped, their eyes instantly widening as if they had heard something unbelievable!

Nazha subconsciously covered her mouth with her hand, then gestured in disbelief, her voice trembling: "Oh my god... this... this is too exaggerated, right?!"

Zhu Xudan and Li Xibing were also full of shock, and the way they looked at Leng Ba was filled with sympathy and... awe?

When they heard the time unit "one hour," the expressions on the three women's faces were complex to the extreme.

They looked at Leng Ba again in unison; that look was like they were staring at a warrior who had survived a brutal battlefield!

To be ravaged like that for a whole night and still be alive to come back the next day, and be able to sit here and eat?!

If this isn't a warrior, what is?!

Tong Liya watched from the side, feeling an inexplicable sense of relief in her heart, and even a hint of secret happiness and superiority.

See, that time she was with Jiang Jing before, it seemed to last for over an hour!

Although she ended up crying and begging for mercy, in this aspect, she seemed to... have won against Leng Ba a little!

A strange competitive desire was satisfied.
