Bai Chen finished the plate Long Xu In had brought him. He’d found the food to be very delicious. He rubbed his stomach with satisfaction.
Even though he was not yet full, the food had partially satisfied his appetite.
Long Xu In took another sip of her wine and said, “What did Liu Feng just talk to you about?”
It was obvious that she’d seen their earlier interaction.
“Nothing much. He told me to stop seeing you,” Bai Chen said casually.
He had no intention of telling her what Liu Feng had said to him because he could handle this matter on his own. He was no longer the weakling he had been before.
If Liu Feng did not bother him, then all would be well and good. But if he did, Bai Chen could not say whether that guy would end up like Ma Jong or Ba Guan or not.
“Oh, really? And what did you say to him?” Long Xu In asked, curious.
“Nothing much. I just said I was your boyfriend, and then he got mad and left.”
Bai Chen said this and then he thought of something else, so he continued talking, “But don’t you like him? He is a good-looking fellow. And it looks like he comes from a wealthy family as well.”
Long Xu In’s face remained still. Her reply was indifferent.
“Don’t joke around. Who’d like that Liu Feng guy? You have no idea how annoying he is. If I had not brought you with me today, I guarantee he would have followed me around non-stop.”
Bai Chen said nothing more. He walked straight to the dining table, where a few people were choosing food.
When he walked off, Long Xu In followed closely. He was her protector. How could she let him just wander off?
Moreover, whenever she was with him, she felt relaxed and peaceful.
Bai Chen never worried her once. Even though she knew that he liked her, he kept his distance and acted very normally.
Bai Chen grabbed a couple of expensive-looking sausages and put them on his plate. Then, he added stir-fried vegetables before he started eating again.
The few people who were around the dining table turned to him with jealous faces.
Surely, they were jealous that Bai Chen had Long Xu In beside him. They knew very well that she was not an ordinary lady, but a beautiful genius.
After she’d spent less than two years in Xing Zhou City, she’d managed to start a company.
And due to her brilliance, the company was a huge success. It had already ended up Xing Zhou’s number four company.
If she had more time, it was not difficult for her company to rise to the top instead of the Li Group.
The men around the table wanted to get her attention as well, but it was a pity that she paid no attention to them whatsoever.
Bai Chen felt the eyes looking at him, but he paid them no mind. He finished what was on his plate and put it away.
Then, he walked over to the wine table that was covered by expensive wine glasses. Some of them were already filled.
“Tian He wine tastes pretty good. Even though it is not yet famous in our country, it is still considered to be among the top wines.” Long Xu In recommended this to him as soon as he got to the wine table.
Bai Chen nodded before choosing the glass with Tian He wine in it. Its colour was red. It gave off an enchanting fragrance.
Bai Chen was not a wine expert, but he could tell that this wine had been through proper fermentation.
He put the glass to his lips and tasted Tian He wine.
As soon as the red liquid moved down his throat, Bai Chen blinked gleefully. Even though it was his first time trying wine, he still realized that its taste was exquisite.
“How is it? Does it taste good?” Long Xu In asked. Her glass was already empty. She was preparing to grab another, but Bai Chen grabbed her arm.
“Xu In, you should not drink too much. You need to drive.”
“What? You think I’m your chauffeur?” Long Xu In pretended to get offended. But of course, she knew he was right and stopped thinking about another glass of wine.
“Damn!” Liu Feng was standing beside an old man. He was around 70 years old. He wore a nice-looking Chinese outfit. His name was Liu Ze, and he was the person this birthday party was meant for.
He was the grandfather who Long Xu In had mentioned to Bai Chen.
Liu Feng saw every moment of Long Xu In and Bai Chen being together.
“Grandpa…grandpa, you must help me. Look, Xu In is with that lame guy!” Liu Feng said angrily whilst looking at his grandfather, Liu Ze.
Liu Ze was turning 70 this year, but he was still very strong. He looked at the couple and spoke.
“Hahaha, no worries little Feng. I will handle it. Xu In is the granddaughter of one of my friends, whom I’ve helped. She will listen to me.”
“Thank you, grandpa.” Liu Feng felt better after hearing Liu Ze’s words.
Liu Ze smiled towards all the passing guests before walking towards Bai Chen and Long Xu In, Liu Feng by his side.
But even with Liu Ze’s help, Liu Feng did not intend to let Bai Chen go. He’d already hired the White Tiger Gang to beat him up.
He just needed Bai Chen to leave the party by himself without Long Xu In by his side.
This was one of the reasons why Liu Feng had asked his grandfather to separate the two.
“Hello, little Xu In. It has been a while.” Liu Ze smiled warmly when he arrived in front of the couple.
Long Xu In turned to look. She ignored Liu Feng, greeting the old man with a smile. “Good evening, elder Liu.”
Then, she introduced Bai Chen. “This is my boyfriend Bai Chen. Introduce yourself.”
Bai Chen sneaked a look at her before saying, “I’m very pleased to meet you. I’m Bai Chen, Long Xu In’s boyfriend.”
