"I think you're just unwilling to accept being taught a lesson and are looking for a chance to get back at him." Lillian Nolan shot her a cold glare from behind her sunglasses.

"This isn't revenge, I'm going to expose his sanctimonious true colors." Noah Grant crossed her arms and snorted coldly. "I admit I was wrong before and took his scolding. But I don't believe that brat is a good person. If I don't tear off his mask of hypocrisy, it would be unworthy of my title as the 'Enchantress' of the 'Cold and Enchanting Duo.'"

"I said, I refuse to accept such a tasteless nickname!" Lillian Nolan's mouth twitched slightly.

……

"Xiao Yan, honestly, uncle really admires you for having the guts to help an old lady who fell down without hesitation." Derek Carter, with a half-smoked cigarette dangling from his lips, fanned himself with a palm-leaf fan and said with emotion, "That sense of justice, that manly spirit. Compared to me when I was young, you're just as impressive."

"Uncle Carter, you're joking. I only just graduated from college, I'm still pretty naive." Ryan Walker also lit a cigarette. After breaking up with his first girlfriend, he'd picked up the habit of smoking.

"Xiao Yan, the moment I saw you, I felt we really hit it off. We're both guys who like to chase girls." Derek Carter stroked his weathered beard and said hoarsely and sentimentally, "It's fate, that's what it is."

Ryan Walker's face darkened, and he almost choked on his cigarette. What kind of talk is that? Uncle, how did you get the idea that I like chasing girls? In my whole life, I've only had one girlfriend, and after breaking up three months ago, I never even thought about chasing anyone else.

"Stop pretending, what's the point in putting on an act in front of your uncle? Most people would get weak in the knees just seeing that luxury car." Derek Carter hooked his arm around his shoulder and winked knowingly. "But when you saw those two women in sports cars, it only took you half a second to take action without hesitation. That kind of courage, decisiveness, and boldness isn't something just any womanizer can pull off."

"Uncle Carter, you've got it all wrong." Ryan Walker explained with a wry smile, "They were the ones who almost hit Granny Zhang yesterday. I just went over to give them a piece of my mind. I hope they'll be more careful when driving in the future. If something happens, it's bad for both the victim and the one at fault."

"Heh, keep pretending in front of your uncle if you want." Derek Carter stroked the stubble on his chin, patted him on the shoulder with a mysterious air, and said, "I caught a glimpse from afar just now—those two girls are top-notch. Rich, young, beautiful, and classy. Women of that caliber must have suitors lined up for blocks. What kind of pursuer haven't they seen? You think a few sweet words will win them over? Your move was brilliant—going against the grain."

"Uncle, I really didn't mean it that way." Ryan Walker shook his head self-mockingly. "A poor guy like me who can't even support himself—what right do I have to chase... no, pfft, to pursue someone like that?"

"That's exactly why I say you're clever." Derek Carter put on the air of a world-weary master of romance, analyzing with vivid gestures, "Girls like them have heard so many sweet words and flattery that their ears have calluses. They've long since built up high psychological defenses against suitors. Scold them, humiliate them—the harsher, the better. First, it unconsciously lowers their guard. Second, it knocks down their sense of superiority. Third, you leave them with a deep, fresh, and exciting impression. Fourth, they'll hate you, remember you, maybe even want revenge—giving you more chances to interact. Fifth, your righteous words will plant a seed in their minds: this guy is actually a good person at heart, giving you a huge reason for a comeback! In summary, Xiao Yan, you've already reached expert level at picking up girls!"

"Uncle! I give up!" That whole theory left Ryan Walker dumbfounded—he couldn't even begin to explain, he was completely floored. He'd just gone over to scold someone, and this uncle could analyze it into such a grand philosophy. Amazing, truly amazing! This uncle really is a hidden master in plain sight.

"As long as you admit it. With your skills, you're still a bit short of fooling your uncle. Haha~" Derek Carter looked smug, gently patted him on the shoulder, and said, "But you're still young. Keep honing your skills, and one day you'll reach the ultimate level of womanizing like your uncle."

"Uh, uncle... what's the ultimate level of womanizing?" Although his intentions had been twisted, Ryan Walker couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Enlighten me, broaden my horizons?"

Actually, it wasn't just Ryan Walker—the "Cold and Enchanting Duo" in the Maserati were also exchanging bewildered glances. Where did such a top-tier sleazy uncle come from?

All those theories he spouted actually made a weird kind of sense when you thought about them.

Noah Grant felt a chill run down her spine, her heart pounding with lingering fear. Thank goodness she had installed a bug. Otherwise, she might have been taken in by that pickup artist.

Angry as she was, Noah Grant was also intensely curious. Just now, listening to that sleazy uncle's analysis, the "pickup artist" level was already unbelievably formidable. So what about the so-called "ultimate level of womanizing"—just how impressive could it be?
