Liu Sanming nodded with a smile and walked over to sit between the two of them.

The dishes were already on the table, all exquisite delicacies.

His appetite was greatly aroused, and he didn't hesitate at all, instead devouring the food heartily and enthusiastically.

Shen Ruonan, who had been somewhat reserved, finally relaxed when she saw this.

But the three of them had barely been eating for twenty minutes when there was a loud banging on the private room door!

Li Nanhu was instantly annoyed.

This hotel was partly owned by the Li Family.

Moreover, she had instructed the hotel manager not to disturb her meal before entering the room.

"Who is it?"

Li Nanhu called out.

Shen Ruonan and Liu Sanming also looked up.

The next moment, the door to the room was pushed open and a middle-aged woman in a hotel uniform nervously walked in.

"Miss Nanhu... I didn't mean to interrupt you, but someone insisted on seeing you, and I really didn't dare stop them."

"Who?"

Li Nanhu was curious.

Then she saw a tall, sturdy man walk in behind the female manager.

Upon seeing this person, Li Nanhu's pretty face turned cold!

"Zhong Wanjun, didn't I tell you that even if all the men in the world died, I still wouldn't be interested in you? Please stop pursuing me, okay?"

Li Nanhu said coldly.

The man, upon hearing this, didn't get angry but instead laughed.

"Nanhu, I've spent five years in the army, thinking of you every year. Now that I've finally retired, can you not reject me so bluntly? Maybe if you give me a chance, you'll end up liking me."

"Zhong Wanjun, there's absolutely no possibility between us, so leave immediately! Otherwise, I'll get angry!"

Li Nanhu's beautiful almond eyes rounded.

However, beside her, Shen Ruonan was already terrified!

The Zhong Family was one of the top families in Sea City, almost on par with the Li Family.

She had heard long ago that the eldest son of the Zhong Family, Zhong Wanjun, had returned from the army, and many socialite daughters were trying hard to win his favor.

She never expected Zhong Wanjun to appear before her eyes.

And still be so fervently pursuing Li Nanhu.

No wonder the female manager said she couldn't stop him; Zhong Wanjun was indeed someone beyond her control...

Because the major shareholder of this hotel was the Zhong Family.

Liu Sanming didn't know what the name Zhong Wanjun represented; he continued eating and drinking, just a bit slower.

But Zhong Wanjun's gaze quickly shifted from Li Nanhu to Liu Sanming.

Feigning harmlessness, he smiled, "Since I can't be here with you, why can he? Can you give me a reason? If I find the reason valid, I'll leave immediately and won't disturb you."

Clearly, although Liu Sanming looked rustic, he was still a man.

Zhong Wanjun developed a bit of hostility towards Liu Sanming.

He also planned to use Liu Sanming as the excuse to stay for the meal.

Li Nanhu was even angrier hearing this!

In her eyes, although Liu Sanming seemed rustic, he was indispensable.

"Hmph! He is Brother Sanming to me, and he's made great contributions to the Li Family. Compared to Brother Sanming, you're nothing! He's a very capable person!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Sanming almost spat out his food!

He quickly smiled wryly and said, "Nanhu, I'm just an ordinary person. I don't want to be the scapegoat, please don't make me a target."

"Brother Sanming... Young Master Zhong is a top young master in Sea City."

Shen Ruonan hastily reminded.

Hearing this, Liu Sanming then had some understanding of Zhong Wanjun.

But his expression didn't change much.

Even without Shen Ruonan's reminder, he could guess that Zhong Wanjun was not an ordinary person.

After all, how could a common person have the privilege to pursue Li Nanhu, and even chase her to the hotel room?

"Kid, you can't just stay out of this. Nanhu speaks so highly of you; I'm even more unconvinced."

Zhong Wanjun immediately set his sights on Liu Sanming.

But Liu Sanming wasn't a pushover either.

He chuckled, wiping the grease off his hands, then turned earnestly to Zhong Wanjun.

"Young Master Zhong, it's our first meeting. There's no need to treat me as a rival in love. With my rustic look, do you think Nanhu could like me? If you insist on a challenge, honestly, I'm not scared, but I'm afraid you'll embarrass yourself."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Wanjun laughed coldly!

He had served in a special forces unit for five years, excelling in hand-to-hand combat, marksmanship, driving, boating, and parachuting.

Yet a rustic guy dared to claim he wasn't afraid of him!

"Alright, let's have a challenge. If I lose, I'll leave immediately and won't bother Nanhu. If you lose, you leave and let me dine with Nanhu, okay?"

Zhong Wanjun coldly challenged.

Liu Sanming agreed without hesitation, "No problem."

Li Nanhu, seeing them quickly set up a wager, pouted angrily!

"Hmph, neither of you asked me before agreeing to a challenge. You're both big jerks!"

"Miss Nanhu, since you couldn't stop them, why not just be a spectator? I don't think Brother Sanming will lose."

Shen Ruonan laughed.

Li Nanhu could only nod.

"Kid, what do you want to compete in? I'll give you the choice."

Zhong Wanjun generously offered.

But Liu Sanming shook his head, "Young Master Zhong, honestly, I don't know what to compete in; you pick. If I lose, I won't renege. I'm a man of my word."

"Alright, then... let's compete with some real skill! Whoever draws blood first loses!"

Zhong Wanjun said, pulling out two sharp daggers from his waist and placing them on the dining table.

During his five years in the army, he spent his last year as a reconnaissance soldier, often carrying out missions in the mountains.

Therefore, he got used to carrying a weapon on him.

And the compact and sharp dagger, easy to carry, was his favorite.

Seeing the daggers, both Li Nanhu and Shen Ruonan became a bit nervous!

"Zhong Wanjun, are you crazy? If there's a death, do you think my mom will spare you!"

"Young Master Zhong, isn't this a bit too harsh..."

Both spoke up immediately.

But Zhong Wanjun coolly laughed, "If a man fears blood, what kind of man is he? Don't worry, I know my limits and won't truly hurt him."

He then looked at Liu Sanming.

If Liu Sanming got scared, he was just a coward, and Zhong could suppress and mock him.

If Liu Sanming agreed, then he must be out of his mind, and Zhong could teach him a hard lesson and showcase his skill.

Liu Sanming didn't immediately respond but walked over to pick up the two daggers.

Drawing them from the sheath, he observed that the blade was bright and sharp, with a smooth blood groove, and the handle intricately carved with various exotic beasts, exquisitely made.

"Nice, a good knife. If I win, can I get one as a trophy, Young Master Zhong?"

"Haha, of course."

Zhong Wanjun agreed readily.

Liu Sanming smiled, picking up the straight dagger while the other one was slightly curved.

"I accept this challenge. If I get hurt or seriously injured, I'll bear all consequences myself and won't blame Young Master Zhong. We're all men, and in a contest among men, women shouldn't intervene."

"Brother, with that statement, I acknowledge you as a man. Regardless of tonight's outcome, we can be friends in the future."

Zhong Wanjun said, taking the other dagger in hand.

Liu Sanming laughed heartily!

The two walked to the open space in the middle, and in an instant, their eyes locked, spirits clashing and burning with combat intent!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Both moved simultaneously, striking at the same time!
