The girls at the next table could faintly overhear the conversation between the two.
They covered their mouths, their faces full of excitement.
“Ahhh, they’re seriously so sweet, it’s like a sugar overload.”
“They’re just so perfect for each other, I’ve never seen a couple this compatible before.”
The waiter gradually brought all the dishes to Su Hua and Lin Xuan’s table.
Su Hua nestled comfortably in Lin Xuan’s arms, and Lin Xuan switched to full-on feeding mode.
Basically, whatever Lin Xuan picked up, Su Hua would eat.
The girls at the next table felt like their teeth were about to rot from all the sweetness.
“This is way too intimate! If they were in the entertainment industry, I’d definitely become their biggest shipper!”
“I really want to ship them, but it’s a pity they’re not celebrities, so we can’t get frequent updates.”
“This kind of PDA is like a feast of dog food—I feel full just watching.”
They couldn’t even focus on their own meals, each holding their cheeks, watching Su Hua and Lin Xuan, feeling that the two were far more captivating than the food.
Partway through, Su Hua went to the restroom.
Jiang Yutong and her boyfriend had finished eating and left the restroom as well.
Many people in the restaurant kept glancing toward Lin Xuan’s direction.
Jiang Yutong, curious, also looked over.
“Mr. Lin, it’s really you!” Jiang Yutong’s face lit up with surprise.
She quickly walked over to Lin Xuan.
Jiang Yutong’s boyfriend, Liang Yilong, stood beside Lin Xuan, his gaze sharp and dangerous.
Jiang Yutong usually kept a wide distance from other men.
In all the time they’d known each other, this was the first time Liang Yilong had seen Jiang Yutong act this way toward a man.
Jiang Yutong must really be different about him.
That man’s looks… Could it be that Jiang Yutong liked him?
A wave of vigilance rose in Liang Yilong’s heart.
He had pursued Jiang Yutong for years, and finally won her over. Once he married her, he would be connected to the Jiang family, gaining endless wealth and status.
He would never allow anyone to snatch Jiang Yutong away from him.
“Yeah, quite a coincidence,” Lin Xuan nodded.
He felt a bit relieved.
Good thing Su Hua had gone to the restroom; otherwise, if she ran into Jiang Yutong, she might overthink things.
When Su Hua got jealous, Lin Xuan’s nerves couldn’t handle it.
“Mr. Lin, are you here alone?” Jiang Yutong asked.
“No, I came here with my girlfriend. She went to the restroom,” Lin Xuan replied.
Jiang Yutong nodded.
So they were on a date. It seemed she shouldn’t disturb them now. She’d have to find another chance to talk to Lin Xuan about recognizing the younger brother.
“Is this your boyfriend?”
Lin Xuan’s gaze landed on Liang Yilong.
“Yes, we just started dating,” Jiang Yutong nodded.
Hearing Jiang Yutong’s confirmation, Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Jiang Yutong had a boyfriend, she probably wouldn’t set her sights on him anymore.
Good, good.
“Hello, sir,” Lin Xuan extended his hand to Liang Yilong, speaking kindly. “I’m Lin Xuan. I have some business cooperation with Miss Jiang.”
Liang Yilong sneered inwardly.
On the surface, this man looked quite respectable and even had a girlfriend.
Hmph.
Jiang Yutong was from the Jiang family, good-looking and well-educated. He didn’t believe this man wouldn’t have improper thoughts about her.
Liang Yilong reached out and shook hands with Lin Xuan. "Hello."
Although Liang Yilong appeared calm, Lin Xuan still sensed a strong hostility emanating from him.
Lin Xuan frowned.
Today was their first meeting, and he hadn’t done anything to offend Liang Yilong, so why did he feel like Liang Yilong was looking at him with disdain?
But for someone irrelevant like this, Lin Xuan didn’t pay much attention.
He withdrew his hand.
“Miss Jiang Yutong, my girlfriend and I have some things to attend to later, so we might not have much time to chat,” Lin Xuan said.
Right now, his only intention was to get Jiang Yutong to leave.
He didn’t want Hua Bao to run into Jiang Yutong.
Jiang Yutong replied, “Then, Mr. Lin, let’s meet again in a week.”
Liang Yilong frowned.
A week? What did a week mean?
Could it be that they were planning to meet alone?
Liang Yilong clenched his fists tightly.
These two definitely weren’t just business partners.
“Let’s go,” Jiang Yutong said, glancing at Liang Yilong.
“Alright.”
Liang Yilong nodded.
He shot Lin Xuan a dark look before turning around, intending to take Jiang Yutong’s hand.
But as soon as he touched her, Jiang Yutong instinctively pulled her hand back.
Liang Yilong clenched his fists again.
Jiang Yutong apologized, “Sorry, Yilong. This is my first relationship, and I’m just not ready yet.”
She had never planned on dating before, nor did she have any real feelings for Liang Yilong.
Her agreeing to be Liang Yilong’s girlfriend was partly because her grandfather kept urging her to find a boyfriend soon, and partly because she was overwhelmed by the PDA between Su Hua and Lin Xuan.
In a moment of impulse, she agreed to be Liang Yilong’s girlfriend.
She wasn’t the irresponsible type; she would try to like Liang Yilong. Even if she didn’t, as long as he didn’t betray her, she would fulfill her duties as a girlfriend.
A dark glint flashed in Liang Yilong’s eyes as he shook his head. “It’s okay, Tongtong. I’ll wait—until the day you’re ready.”
Ha.
Liang Yilong’s gaze darkened.
Her refusal to let him touch her was clearly because she was saving herself for that other man.
No wonder Jiang Yutong, who had always rejected him, suddenly agreed to be with him—she must have seen that man with another woman and, in a fit of anger, chosen him instead.
Most likely, if that man said one word, Jiang Yutong would drop him without hesitation and run straight back to that man.
“Tongtong, it’s getting late. Let me take you home,” Liang Yilong said, his cold expression softening as he spoke with care.
“Okay.”
Jiang Yutong got into the car.
From a distance, Su Hua watched Jiang Yutong’s figure, pretending not to notice anything as she walked over.
Today, she and Lin Xuan had a rare date, and she didn’t want to be disturbed by any irrelevant people.
The two of them carried on as if nothing had happened, continuing their meal.
After feeding Su Hua until she was full, Lin Xuan picked up his chopsticks, ready to serve himself some food.
Su Hua took the chopsticks from his hand.
“Huabao, what’s this about?” Lin Xuan asked, puzzled as he looked at her.
Su Hua curled her red lips into a smile. “You’ve been feeding me all this time, so now it’s my turn to feed you.”
“Then I guess I have to trouble you, Huabao,” he said warmly.
Lin Xuan accepted Su Hua’s offer to feed him.
Sometimes, being fed by your girlfriend doesn’t feel too bad.
The people at the surrounding tables: “……”
Full, full, absolutely stuffed.
After finishing the meal, Lin Xuan reached for his bank card to pay the bill, but Su Hua was quicker—she handed over her own card first. “Let’s put the bill for these tables on us.”
“Certainly, miss.”
The waiter took Su Hua’s card and went to get the card reader.
Lin Xuan asked, puzzled, “Hua Bao, why do you want to pay for them?”
From what he knew, Su Hua wasn’t the type to casually throw money at strangers.
Su Hua smiled lightly, “Because they said you and I make a perfect match.”

't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
] [Lone Wolf, No Male Gaze] [Protagonist is pursued early on; extreme protagonist-stans, stay away!] The "Carnival Paradise" descends and slowly devours the real world in the form of a game. By chance, Zhu Yan awakens the talent [Roleplay], becoming one of the first beta players. He thought he could develop safely, but after clearing the first instance, he is branded by humanity as the chief culprit behind the game's spread—a traitorous villain. A villain? Who would ever... become one! He'll be the villain! From then on, Zhu Yan is not only a player but also a lackey for the Carnival Paradise. Between the straight path and the crooked path, he chooses the con. With his left hand, he dons the villain's mantle, staging scenes within instances, infuriating players who decry him as a despicable traitor, all while the game happily promotes him. With his right hand, he joins the non-human organization "Fangcun Mountain," which opposes the Carnival Paradise, transforming into a mysterious player who slaughters game bosses, earning cheers of "Long live the expert!" from fellow players. Gradually, Zhu Yan rises to become an S-rank human player in Fangcun Mountain's archives, while also being the Carnival Paradise's certified top game Boss. But when the final war erupts and both major factions place their hopes in him— Players tag his various aliases: "Experts, this offensive depends on you." The Carnival Paradise's supreme Boss throws an arm around his neck: "Bro, you're the iron, I'm the steel; you can't let me down again!"
