The car got back on the highway, and Song Guanchao didn't speak the whole way; he wasn't in the mood.

As they were nearing the Provincial City, Song Guanchao called Liang Jiajia ahead: "What are you up to?"

"Having a meal." Liang Jiajia's tone sounded a bit bored.

Song Guanchao glanced at the time; it was already past nine.

"A get-together?"

"Yes."

"Send me the address, I'll come pick you up."

"Weren't you coming tomorrow?"

"I miss you."

"Hmph, you sweet talker."

Liang Jiajia's mood immediately improved, and after hanging up, she sent the address over.

Originally, Song Guanchao planned to drop Jiang Yiren off at the party school first and then pick up Liang Jiajia.

But upon seeing the address, it was conveniently on the way to where Liang Jiajia was eating.

So he decided to pick her up first.

"Is she a friend of yours?" Jiang Yiren suddenly asked.

"Yeah, girlfriend."

This response left Jiang Yiren momentarily speechless, not knowing how to reply suddenly.

Feeling down, she responded with an "oh," and suddenly took out the small umbrella's packaging from her pocket.

That must be what they use, right?

Jiang Yiren was very curious to know what Song Guanchao's girlfriend looked like.

About half an hour later, Song Guanchao drove to the restaurant.

Jiang Yiren suddenly got energized, staring towards the restaurant entrance.

"Hey, I'm at the door, come on out."

"Wait for me a moment."

But Song Guanchao waited for almost ten minutes, and Liang Jiajia still hadn't come out.

He even double-checked the address to make sure he wasn't at the wrong place.

"Strange."

Song Guanchao took out his phone and called Liang Jiajia again.

The phone rang, but no one answered.

A bad feeling came over Song Guanchao.

He pushed open the car door and walked into the restaurant.

The restaurant was of moderate class, and at this time, most of the individual diners in the hall had already left.

Liang Jiajia was apparently in a private room having dinner; he just didn't know which one or on which floor.

Song Guanchao had no choice but to try each door one by one.

He opened a door, but the private room was dark and empty.

He opened another door, still no one.

Soon, he was outside one of the rooms when he heard noises from inside.

Someone's in this one!

Just as he was about to push the door open, he suddenly heard Liang Jiajia's voice coming from inside the room.

"Yan Han, get lost!"

"Jiajia, don't be so angry. We're all having a good time drinking, and you suddenly want to leave. Aren't you being too unsociable?"

"You drink yours; what's it got to do with me? Get lost, don't block my way!"

Upon hearing this, Song Guanchao roughly understood what was going on.

This man named Yan Han had taken a liking to Liang Jiajia.

Too bad, this guy didn't understand Jiajia's personality.

Yan Han truly didn't know Liang Jiajia's character, he simply liked her face.

Damn, she's got a knockout look!

And a knockout figure!

The dinner tonight was arranged by Yan Han, hoping to take advantage of the drinking, thinking everyone would egg her on, and he'd confess his feelings and have her locked down.

But who knew, Liang Jiajia wasn't having any of it.

Moreover, whoever egged her on was met with immediate hostility.

When that plan failed, Yan Han got a new idea — make her drunk!

Once drunk, he'd carry her away and make it a done deal.

But before he could implement the plan, Jiajia got a phone call and was about to leave.

He had been eyeing Liang Jiajia for days, how could he just let her go like that, thus he blocked her way.

But her temper was truly fiery; whoever blocked her was cursed, making the situation a bit awkward.

Yan Han had never been cursed like that before, especially in front of so many people, making him feel a bit embarrassed.

However, he still suppressed his anger and did not erupt.

Another person chimed in, "Jiajia, we're all colleagues and friends, you speak so harshly, it's too hurtful."

"Exactly, you as a girl, always saying 'get lost,' makes it hard to find a boyfriend later."

"Looks like Yan Han is quite interested in you, why don't you two give it a try?"

Just then.

"Bang!"

The private room's door was pushed open, interrupting everyone's speech.

Everyone turned to look; a young tall man walked into the room.

After two seconds of silence, someone immediately scolded, "Who let you in here? Get out!"

They thought this person had entered the wrong place.

However, it was as if this man hadn't heard them; he walked straight to Liang Jiajia and asked, "Is this guy bothering you?"

Everyone was stunned.

This man was here for Liang Jiajia?

Judging by his tone, was he her boyfriend?

Many began to size him up, realizing he was indeed good-looking and tall.

And facing so many people in the private room, he wasn't intimidated at all.

At this point, Yan Han also reacted, staring at him with a hostile look, but he was already guessing the man's identity in his heart.

This man should be Liang Jiajia's boyfriend!

Although Liang Jiajia wished to teach Yan Han a harsh lesson, she held back.

She didn't want Song Guanchao to get entangled in any disputes with these people.

She shook her head, "Let's go."

She pulled Song Guanchao's hand, intending to leave but couldn't budge him.

Turning her head, she saw Song Guanchao standing in front of Yan Han, suddenly pulling out a smile, saying, "Stay away from her from now on."

Yan Han's eyebrows twitched, a surge of anger rising in him, "Are you talking to me?"

Song Guanchao laughed softly, just about to speak when someone said, "Jiajia, your boyfriend is quite arrogant, huh? We're having a colleague get-together, what's the meaning of him barging in suddenly?"

"Kid, do you even know who Yan Han is? Making threats like that, better watch your own safety."

"Jiajia, have your boyfriend apologize to Yan Han."

Song Guanchao became interested, smiling at Yan Han, "Oh, are you one of those second-generation kids? Government second gen or rich second gen? Tell me, I'd love to hear."

His teasing tone caught everyone by surprise.

Could it be this boyfriend of Liang Jiajia's has connections too?

Yan Han also couldn't quite figure out Song Guanchao.

Normally, if anyone dared to speak to him like this, he would've slapped them already.

But the other party clearly knew he wasn't ordinary, yet still maintained this attitude, which could only mean the opponent's identity wasn't simple either.

Yan Han squeezed out a smile, extending his right hand, "What's your name, friend?"

"Song Guanchao."

Everyone who heard the name found it oddly familiar.

Seems like they heard it somewhere before.

But couldn't recall in the moment.

Song Guanchao slowly scanned the people in the private room and said, "Jiajia, stay away from these people in the future. If anyone bothers you, let me know, I'll have a word with them."

Everyone was a bit frightened by his words.

This boyfriend of Liang Jiajia's is just too overbearing!

Yet, nobody dared to talk back.

This guy screamed power and influence.

They didn't have Yan Han's background; if they really offended him, who knows if they'd face retaliation.

After saying this, Song Guanchao left the private room with Liang Jiajia in tow.

After they left, a minute or two passed before someone cursed, "What's the deal with Liang Jiajia's boyfriend?"

"Damn arrogant!"

"If not for Jiajia, I'd have cursed him out!"

"Yan Han, don't stoop to his level."

"Though Liang Jiajia is good-looking, there are plenty of women out there, with your credentials, Yan Han, what kind can't you find?"

Yan Han squinted with an expressionless face, not saying a word, silently memorizing the name Song Guanchao in his heart.
