Writing Web Novels In America-Chapter 110 - 109: Two Books

Wang Jian couldn’t help shouting in his heart as he watched Lynn also dash into the apartment at a swift pace.

"Isn’t it Christmas Eve tonight?"

"Where is the peace promised?"

"I guessed you wouldn’t go out. So, I came over especially to keep you company," Lynn said as she kicked off her high heels and looked up at Wang Jian.

Suddenly, she felt someone watching her.

So, she lifted her head.

"Lily?" Lynn felt a bit panicked, "You... you came too?"

Lily smoothed her blonde hair, giving Lynn a cryptic look, and then glanced at Sarah beside her.

Sarah busied herself with putting food on the living room coffee table, her expression somewhat complex.

But as soon as she turned around, her face was brightened with a radiant smile again.

"Wang, aren’t you going to introduce us?"

"Uh..." Wang Jian held his jacket awkwardly, "These two are Lily and Lynn."

"This is Sarah."

"Right, you all haven’t had dinner yet, have you?" Wang Jian pointed to the elevator, "Shall I go buy something for you to eat?"

"Miss Sarah has already prepared a Christmas Eve feast for you," Lily said with a half-smile at Wang Jian, "What? Do you have any new recommendations?"

Sarah chuckled softly, walking over to the shoe rack to take off her high heels, "We were very poor when we were young and didn’t get to try many different foods, so it wouldn’t hurt to try something new."

"Yet, most people, after tasting many flavors, end up preferring the food from their childhood," she said with a smile, sitting down on the couch, "Right, Wang Jian?"

"Ordinary people aren’t that fussy about their food," Lynn said with a light laugh after watching for a while, linking arms with Lily.

"Given a decent flavor, the larger the portion, the better."

She then looked up to meet Lily’s gaze.

However, Lily seemed to look straight into the depths of her heart,

Seeing her own desire to replace Lily and become Wang Jian’s closest lover. And to use him for her career success.

Lily gently shrugged off her shoulder, "Some food is genuinely offered by chefs for customers to taste, while other food is just meant to fetch a high price."

"It’s supposed to be different."

Lynn’s face changed, feeling the most utilitarian side of her heart being pointed out openly by her friend.

She sat down on the couch somewhat angrily and embarrassed.

"If food is about to go past its expiration date, then you must be careful not to upset your stomach."

Lily bent over to take off her high heels and also sat down on the couch, "But what if it’s not food that needs to be eaten daily, but wine that’s tasted on occasion?"

"Speaking of which, ’82 Lafite is quite well-regarded, isn’t it?"

What the hell is this?

Wang Jian shook his head helplessly and hung his jacket on the coat rack.

"Sarah, you’ve prepared a feast, so we won’t go out to buy anything?"

Sarah glanced at Lily and Lynn beside her, "As long as the two older sisters don’t mind. Right, it’s older_sister, isn’t it?"

Wang Jian saw that Lily and Lynn were about to speak again when suddenly, his head felt a slight dizziness.

"Wang, what’s wrong?" the three women on the couch stood up and asked with concern.

"It’s nothing, nothing. Must be a bit of mental exhaustion, plus low blood sugar."

Hearing this, the three women exchanged glances and quickly got busy.

They first helped Wang Jian to the couch, then someone went to the kitchen for utensils, while someone else looked for Aspirin.

Meanwhile, Wang Jian sat on the couch, silently contemplating the book in his mind, feeling overwhelmed.

"Empresses in the Palace"? How fitting!

But it’s actually a romance novel?

But then he felt something was off.

Because next to this book, another work was about to reveal itself.

This time, two books?

But before he could make out the faintly visible name on the other book, the three women walked back into the living room.

He didn’t know how they had communicated in the kitchen just now, but they had come back without engaging in verbal sparring.

Of course, the atmosphere couldn’t exactly be described as harmonious either.

Just like this...

It would have to do.

Wang Jian, while pondering on how to survive the evening, deliberately slowed down his eating pace.

But no matter how slow, there inevitably came a time when the meal was finished.

Soon, the dining experience for the four people ended.

The three women finished tidying up the utensils and returned to the living room.

Actually, following American customs,

by this time, it should have been "hanky-panky" or time to say goodbye and leave.

However, all three women looked at each other with no intention of leaving, so naturally, he wouldn’t leave either.

This was becoming a little difficult to handle!

Wang Jian listened to the laughter coming from outside the apartment and looked at the three women sitting on the sofa, feeling a tremendous headache.

"Uh... how about we go to the costume party?"

"No interest." The three women answered in unison.

They watched the television without blinking, as if the ads on the screen were the most fascinating things in the world.

"By the way, Lynn, what do you do for work?" Sarah asked with a smile, "You look like you’ve just finished work, right?"

"I work at Omnicom Advertising. I’ve even shot an advertisement with Wang," Lynn replied. "What about you, Miss Sarah? Since you grew up with Wang, do you live in the Bronx District now?"

"No, I live in Brooklyn, thanks to Wang Jian," Sarah said with sincere eyes. "He helped me write a novel, and with the income from that, I was able to move out of the Bronx District."

"What novel?" Lynn seemed truly interested this time.

"Called ’Prison Break.’ Oh, and the TV series currently broadcast on CBS is adapted from the novel," Sarah shook her head, "Without Wang Jian’s help, I couldn’t have done it."

At that moment, Lily stood up, "I’ll go make some coffee for everyone. Wang, would you still prefer Chinese tea?"

It’s almost midnight, ladies.

Wang Jian simply stood up, "I’m going to bed. The guest rooms here should be sufficient, make yourselves at home."

He wasn’t sure how long the women talked in the living room, but when Wang Jian went to the bedroom bathroom at midnight, the lights outside had already been turned off.

When he lay back in bed, ready to continue sleeping,

suddenly, the bedroom door was gently opened.

The flash of blonde hair indicated to Wang Jian that the person was probably Lily.

In a whisper, Lily said, "I know I can’t be as capable as Lynn, to be of help to you. Nor am I Miss Sarah, who is not only a childhood friend but can also write a best-selling novel."

"I only have myself."

Wang Jian felt as if he had entered a warm space.

As for the sensation...

It was just as the founder of Playboy magazine had said: apart from "please, don’t leave me," women were putting their utmost effort into comparing themselves with each other.

"You are the best gift God has given me this year," Lily murmured emotionally into Wang Jian’s ear.

"Don’t open your eyes, don’t speak. Let this dream continue forever."

About ten minutes later, Wang Jian felt Lily leave the bedroom.

He opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling, his mind tumultuous with thoughts.

A moment later, the bedroom door was gently pushed open again.

Lynn, in the guise of Catwoman, quietly walked into the bedroom.

"Wang, I might be a bit utilitarian, but even without any reward, I would still do it," she said.

But Wang Jian no longer had the energy to listen to what she was saying.

Because the moment he saw the Catwoman costume, another novel had already sprung to mind.

Wang Jian looked at the name of the work and gently read out, "Anomalies and Creatures?"

Meanwhile, Lynn also called out in a suppressed voice, "This place belongs only to you!"
