"On what grounds? On the fact that I've known Lin Hai for ages. When it comes to seniority, how could it be your turn to be the mistress?" Qi Weiwei's brows furrowed, her charming eyes widened, and she lifted her head to speak.

Liu Qianhui felt stifled, as it was true she hadn't known Lin Hai as long as Queen Qi had.

"Hmph, I've known that beast Lin Hai for seven years now; if anyone deserves to be the mistress, it's certainly me. At most, you'd be the second mistress or fifth," Tao Xia said, unwilling to be outdone. When it comes to playing the seniority card, she considered herself the most experienced of the three women, whether in officialdom or life.

Queen Qi's inquiring gaze turned towards Lin Hai.

Lin Hai nodded dryly, unable to voice out the truth; he really had known Tao Xia seven years prior.

"Oh, and here I thought you were the mistress. Turns out you're just the fourth," Liu Qianhui shot back at Queen Qi immediately.

"The fifth has no right to speak here!" Queen Qi retorted with equal force.

"You! Vixen, feeling so superior even as the fourth, hmph," Liu Qianhui gritted her teeth and spoke again.

"I outrank you; you're just the lowest, the fifth," Queen Qi directly hit where it hurt.

"Do you live as well as I do? Hmph!" Liu Qianhui did not back down.

"Vixen, shameless!" Queen Qi found herself at a loss for words, weakened in her response.

"I'm kind-hearted, good-looking, deeply affectionate, and not clingy. I'm proud. I'm Lin Hai's true third. What about it? If you're not convinced, let's face off right here," Liu Qianhui took the chance to twist the knife.

Girls who start from the worldly society really are extraordinary, their thought processes a bit different from ordinary people.

"So, I am the true mistress, hmph. Power speaks for itself," Liu Qianhui proudly lifted her head, as if she had already taken her seat on the throne of victory, taking the dominant position next to Lin Hai.

"Truly shameless!" Queen Qi clenched her teeth so hard, she nearly moved to violence.

Tao Xia couldn't stand it any longer; even the city's dignitaries hadn't touched their man yet, and this so-called fifth dared to brazenly take the seat, a challenge to their dignity!

"What's this? Want to compare who's more affectionate? I've been practicing with Lin Hai for over a year; bring it on if you dare!" Tao Xia also would not show weakness.

"Damn!" Lin Hai broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this.

"Hmph, Sister Tao, don't stoop to the level of the fifth. She's young and naive, reaching beyond her grasp. Probably Linlin will get bored of her after some time, and then she won't even be worth fighting over," Queen Qi banded together with Tao Xia, mainly because Liu Qianhui's act of sitting so close to Lin Hai was too provocative.

Lin Hai was dumbfounded. Sh*t, was being the third, fourth, or fifth something to fight over?

Moreover, the quarreling among the three women grew fiercer, a battle of words where barbs, both overt and covert, were exchanged. Such high-level disputes were too taxing on the brain.

Liu Qianhui was starting to feel overwhelmed, her title of fifth on the verge of being solidified against her will, her heart unwilling. Suddenly, her eyes spun with cunning and trickery gleaned from worldly affairs.

"Damn mixin... uh, I'm truly sincere towards you. If you don't believe me, feel it—touch my sincerity," Liu Qianhui said as she grabbed Lin Hai's hand.

"Come, feel my little sincerity," she urged.

Lin Hai's eyes bulged.

"Humph, too shameless!"

"Fighting is one thing, but this is too much!"

"Let there be a battle, but the Orphan's grave is going too far!"

Tao Xia and Queen Qi almost shot fire from their eyes.

Ignoring the furious glares from the two, Liu Qianhui crinkled her cute little nose with a humph and continued to hold onto Lin Hai's hand without letting go.

"Linlin, I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable here. You have great Medical Skill, take a look for me," Queen Qi retaliated, unwillfully grabbing Lin Hai's other arm.

"Holy crap, that's not allowed!" Lin Hai exclaimed in alarm. Queen Qi, however, exerted her peak strength, firmly controlling his arm, demanding he perform the gesture to counter the triumphant Liu Qianhui.

Upon seeing this, Tao Xia noted both hands were controlled by the other two women and reminded herself that she was the rightful mistress. How could she allow the fourth and fifth to surpass her?

Tao Xia's gaze locked onto Lin Hai's head.

"Xiaxia, what are you doing? I don't have flowers growing on my face."

"Damn, Xiaxia, your gaze is kind of frightening."

"Holy sh*t, what are you trying to do?"

Lin Hai tensed every muscle in his body as Tao Xia's pale fingers wrapped around his head.

What was this all about?

"Haihai, listen to the voice from my heart; I'm the one who's most sincere toward you."

Clever move. Liu Qianhui and Queen Qi exchanged looks, forced to admit one thing—experience counts; Tao Xia's tactic was leagues above their own.

Qianhui shared a look with the Queen, as if they'd formed some temporary understanding or agreement.

Queen Qi's whole body shook with the release of her first-class expert strength.

Liu Qianhui, too, pulled out her delicate little weapon, pressing it softly against Lin Hai's abdomen, and said softly, "Darling, does this give you a special and unique feeling? Don't move, be good and don't resist, let Sister Tao witness it."

"Damn it, what are you trying to start? City belle, please don't do this," Lin Hai thought he might vomit blood.

Tao Xia observed Queen Qi's fierceness and Liu Qianhui's little tyranny, noting they had again outdone her, instantly feeling a sense of crisis.

Without a second thought, she must come back at them, and thus she promptly stood up and firmly grabbed Lin Hai's head.

"Sh*t, this must not happen! Are you trying to strangle me?" Lin Hai screamed in terror.
