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.”

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
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)
