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.”

Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family."

Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor.

g Yu was preparing for retirement when her organization decided to eliminate her. She transmigrated to a zombie apocalypse world. However, a tiny unexpected situation occurred: She somehow transformed into an adorable little girl?!
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?
