"What are you doing?" Tang Yumeng looked at Lin Chuan with a guarded expression.

"I..." Lin Chuan scratched his head awkwardly and then smiled, "I'm here to admit my mistake and apologize to you."

"Admit what mistake, apologize for what?" Tang Yumeng huffed.

Lin Chuan was immediately dumbfounded. Was this girl actually mad at him? Sigh, being a man, he gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and decided to apologize: "Sis, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have gotten too close to other women, and I also shouldn't have resigned impulsively."

"Hmph." Tang Yumeng pouted.

This was a typical case of climbing up the pole as soon as it was erected, shining when given a little sunshine, opening a bank when given a penny.

"Sis, you're the bigger person, magnanimous like a prime minister who can house a boat in his belly." Lin Chuan chuckled.

"What? Just a couple of words and you expect me to forgive you?" Tang Yumeng scoffed coldly.

"Then what do you want?" Lin Chuan hurriedly asked, "Punish me however you want, just don't be angry. It hurts me to see you upset. Look… my heart is shattered into eight pieces."

Snicker…

Xiao Xue couldn't help but burst out laughing nearby.

"Get lost." Tang Yumeng glared at Lin Chuan, saying, "Move aside, who cares about you."

"Hehe, you laughed." Lin Chuan walked over happily and quickly grabbed Tang Yumeng's hand.

Tang Yumeng tried to shake off Lin Chuan's hand, but found that his arm was stuck to hers like a plaster, completely unshakable. Tang Yumeng was furious and quickly said, "Jerk, let go of me."

"I won't let go until you forgive me." Lin Chuan shook his head.

At the entrance, a few security guards were peering out. It wasn't off-work time yet, but once it was, there would definitely be many onlookers. This was exactly what Tang Yumeng hated the most. She never expected Lin Chuan to be so shameless and despicable.

"You jackass, let me go, don't let people see this." Tang Yumeng was infuriated.

Lin Chuan simply sat down on the ground, his arms tightly embracing her slim and smooth long legs, looking just like a mischievous child. Xiao Xue nearby was almost bending over backward laughing, Lin Chuan's antics were too funny for words.

"I won't let go." Lin Chuan was firm.

"Alright, alright, I forgive you, is that not enough?" Tang Yumeng said helplessly.

"Really?" Lin Chuan looked up.

As he looked up, he immediately caught a glimpse up Tang Yumeng's skirt, wearing a lascivious expression. Tang Yumeng's face turned red and she said, "Lin Chuan, can you stand up now? Stop messing around."

"Okay." Lin Chuan immediately jumped up from the ground.

Slap…

Tang Yumeng slapped Lin Chuan across the face.

Lin Chuan covered his stinging face, confused by the slap.

"Does it hurt?" Tang Yumeng asked.

"It hurts!" Lin Chuan nodded.

"Good that you know pain." Tang Yumeng sneered coldly: "This is how I've felt these past few days. You feel pain on your face; I feel pain in my heart. You keep saying you love me, but you left me cold for three days, not saying a word. How can you expect me to forgive you?!"

Facing Tang Yumeng's questioning, Lin Chuan was somewhat at a loss.

"Sis, I was wrong." Lin Chuan admitted helplessly.

"Now you know you were wrong?" Tang Yumeng snorted coldly.

Lin Chuan was persistent, and Tang Yumeng was getting pretty annoyed by his tenacity, but his antics had indeed made her laugh just now. Most of her anger had already dissipated. Lin Chuan's shameless behavior was, if seen by others, embarrassing for her too.

Lin Chuan sat down squarely, his hands tightly holding onto Tang Yumeng's legs, mumbling non-stop, "If you don't forgive me, I won't stand up."

Tang Yumeng looked at Lin Chuan helplessly, real angered, and said, "You jerk, stand up now."

"Won't stand up, I just won't." Lin Chuan completely ignored her, and his voice grew even louder.

Xiao Xue covered her mouth and laughed, seemingly enjoying the spectacle.

Lin Chuan was just like a spoiled child, and Tang Yumeng was like his mother. But, in reality, Lin Chuan was indeed a few years younger than Tang Yuemeng; their age difference was about six years. It was a classic case of a May-December romance. Tang Yumeng almost treated Lin Chuan like her own younger brother. And this time, Lin Chuan fully exploited the maternal instinct of women, so he deliberately acted spoiled.

The greatest advantage of a May-December romance is being cherished and loved.

Tang Yumeng couldn't twist Lin Chuan's arm and was indeed amused by his childish temperament.

"Fine, get up then!" Tang Yumeng replied irritably.

"You forgive me?" Lin Chuan asked curiously.

"What else can we do?" Tang Yumeng replied irritably.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan was overjoyed and quickly jumped up, then excitedly hugged Tang Yumeng. However, Tang Yumeng pushed him away and said, "Stop it, we are in public, you should at least consider your image, what kind of example is this setting?"

"Hehe, I don't have much of an image to begin with," Lin Chuan laughed.

"You are the hero of Jiangbei City," Tang Yumeng glared at Lin Chuan and said, "You should care about your image, understand?"

"Sis, haven't you heard the saying?" Lin Chuan smiled and said, "A hero is always tested by a beauty. For my sister, who cares about a hero's image!"

"Nice words," Tang Yumeng snorted coldly and said, "When you were fooling around with other women, did you think of me?"

"Of course, I did," Lin Chuan hastily nodded.

"Hmm?" Tang Yumeng glared at Lin Chuan.

"Ah, no no," Lin Chuan quickly shook his head and said, "Nothing of that sort, definitely not. When have I messed around with other women? That's totally groundless."

"You know better," Tang Yumeng snorted coldly and said, "Get in the car."

By then, Luo Guoqing had already driven the car out, and when he saw Lin Chuan and Tang Yumeng joking around, he immediately understood. After getting out of the car, Luo Guoqing hurriedly handed the keys to Lin Chuan.

"Brother, do well," Luo Guoqing patted Lin Chuan's shoulder with a cheerful laugh.

Lin Chuan gave Luo Guoqing a look, and Luo Guoqing nodded knowingly. Lin Chuan hurriedly opened the car door: "Sis, get in the car."

"Hmm." Women are indeed an enigma. Once you touch their hearts and obtain their forgiveness, they can thoroughly absolve you. Although Lin Chuan played a bit rogue, he obtained Tang Yumeng's forgiveness, which was his ultimate goal.

Though it's somewhat embarrassing and shameless, the process is not important, achieving the goal is.

After Tang Yumeng got in the car, Luo Guoqing quickly gave Xiao Xue a look.

Xiao Xue immediately caught on.

"Ah, Secretary Tang, sorry," Xiao Xue said awkwardly, "I can't join you for dinner today."

"Why?" Tang Yumeng asked.

"Because…" Xiao Xue pursed her lips and said, "because my boyfriend asked me out today."

"You have a boyfriend?" Tang Yumeng asked curiously.

Xiao Xue laughed and said, "Not really, just a male friend, but there is potential for development. I'm getting older; it's time to start seeing boys."

"Alright then," Tang Yumeng nodded helplessly. It's her life decision after all; how could she delay it? If it were just a fling, it probably wouldn't be good.

"Sis, she's looking for a boyfriend, we can't afford to delay her, otherwise, you'll owe her a boyfriend," Lin Chuan joked.

"Pfft..."

Tang Yumeng laughed innocently, amused by Lin Chuan's remark.

Lin Chuan quickly stepped on the gas and swiftly left the City Committee.

Today, he ought to properly appease Tang Yumeng. He hadn't attended to her for many days, and although he ended up admitting his mistakes, the proactive nature in the relationship between men and women still relies on the man. Women won't take the initiative.

Lin Chuan directly drove towards the city center of Jiangbei City.

The place was still the French restaurant in Jiangbei Building. Tang Yumeng is a woman who loves romance. Although she is an Eastern woman, her heart embraces the romantic sentiment of Western women. She delights in romance and enjoys the atmosphere. Dining here, though extravagant and not quite to Lin Chuan's taste, is not about the food but the romantic setting.

Upon reaching the parking lot, Lin Chuan diligently opened the car door for Tang Yumeng, then cheerfully said, "Sis, we have arrived."

"Hmm," Tang Yumeng nodded indifferently.

Tang Yumeng stepped out of the car, dressed in a cool summer attire, a beige dress, and a beautiful crystal necklace around her neck. Below the dress were her long and shapely legs, and on her feet were a pair of Chanel crystal sandals. They weren't very high but were comfortable to wear.

Tang Yumeng slowly walked toward the elevator entrance.

Lin Chuan hurriedly followed her. The lighting in the underground parking lot wasn't very good. The lights were dim, and only a few weak light bulbs lit the area, and the heavy smell of exhaust lingered. The parking lot lacked ventilation, trapping the automobiles' exhaust gases inside, causing the accumulation of various harmful substances over the years.

Tang Yumeng's pace wasn't fast, and she soon reached the elevator. Lin Chuan was about five meters behind her.

"Sis, wait for me," Lin Chuan hurriedly called out.

Actually, right after Lin Chuan drove into the parking lot, a black Rui Feng van slowly entered.

In the van, three people. The driver wore a black short-sleeve shirt. In the back, two men sat holding firearms; one held a wooden-handled AK, and the other a silver pistol.

Both guns were a bit worn, the paint peeling off them.

"Big brother, when do we make our move?" the man with the silver pistol spoke up.
