Jiang Chen returned home and once again resumed a life reduced to four points: the hospital, the clinic, the company, Gong Lin's house!

That evening, Jiang Chen and Gong Lin left work a little late, so they didn't go home for dinner. Instead, they found a restaurant and enjoyed a little world of their own.

"Gong Lin, you start eating, I'll go to the restroom!" Jiang Chen softly said after they were almost done eating.

Gong Lin nodded with a smile, "Okay!"

Jiang Chen stood up, settled the bill at the cashier, and then proceeded to the restroom.

Gong Lin felt a warm current surge in her heart as she saw Jiang Chen paying. She thought, 'Finally, this guy is starting to treat me like a woman!'

"Gong Lin!" A voice called out. Gong Lin was startled and looked up. At the restaurant entrance, a young man decked out in branded clothes and leather shoes walked in with several bodyguards and started heading her way.

Gong Lin slightly furrowed her brows and looked indifferently at the young man.

"Gong Lin, I've been looking for you in Jincheng for a long time but couldn't find you. I guessed you must have returned to your hometown in Dingjing. But then I heard you got married – that can't possibly be true, can it?" The young man approached Gong Lin, feigning concern.

Gong Lin said flatly, "I am indeed married. Wan Feng, please stop bothering me from now on!"

"Impossible. How could you be married and not have a wedding? You must be fooling me, right?" Wan Feng looked incredulous.

"What's going on?" A puzzled voice sounded. Jiang Chen returned from the restroom and glanced at Wan Feng, then looked questioningly at Gong Lin.

"A fly," Gong Lin explained in a low voice. She took Jiang Chen's arm, turned to look at Wan Feng, and said, "This is my husband. I'm really married, so please stop harassing me, alright?"

Wan Feng looked Jiang Chen up and down disdainfully and sneered, "Gong Lin, if you want to find a shield, find a better one. Picking a laborer as a husband instead of accepting my advances – are you picking trash?"

Disdainfully glancing at Jiang Chen, Wan Feng felt it was beneath him to even speak to Jiang Chen. He turned his head and gave a look to one of his men and whispered, "Skinny."

Skinny got the hint, stepped forward, and pointed at Jiang Chen, "Do you know who our young master is? He's the young master of the Wan Family, one of the Four Great Families of Jincheng, one of the Four Young Masters of Jincheng. Trash like you can be squashed by our young master with just a finger. Beat it! A beauty like Miss Gong, only our young master is worthy of her. You're completely out of your league!"

Wan Feng nodded in agreement, ignoring Jiang Chen and turned back to Gong Lin. Gong Lin's expression changed slightly, and she gave Wan Feng a deep look before turning to Jiang Chen, about to speak. But Jiang Chen's cold voice sounded.

"Are you done?" Jiang Chen said with a chill in his smile, his eyes coldly settling on Skinny.

Skinny lifted his head arrogantly at Jiang Chen, "I'm done..."

"Slap—"

Before he could finish, a crisp sound rang out as Jiang Chen slapped Skinny across the face and snapped, "Get lost!"

Skinny screamed, his body swayed from the blow, and he stumbled to the side.

"Bastard, how dare you hit my man? Get them, beat this trash to death! I'll take responsibility if he dies!" Upon seeing this, Wan Feng was immediately filled with rage and waved his hand behind him, cursing loudly.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

The bodyguards obeyed immediately and rushed towards Jiang Chen.

Gong Lin tensed up, about to speak out to interfere, but Jiang Chen had already made his move.

"Thump thump thump—"

With one kick per person, Jiang Chen sent the bodyguards flying one after another.

"Slap—Thump!"

Then, Jiang Chen turned and slapped Wan Feng across the face and kicked him in the stomach, sending him tumbling to the ground.

"Kill me?"

With a cold smile, Jiang Chen lifted his foot and stepped on Wan Feng's head, speaking with a frigid voice, "So what if you're one of Jincheng's Four Young Masters? Think you're something special? Strutting around like that, does your mom know about your behavior? Stay away from my wife from now on, or else I'll hit you every time I see you!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Jiang Chen kicked Wan Feng away and straightaway grabbed Gong Lin's hand and left the hotel.

Once they were outside the hotel, Gong Lin looked at Jiang Chen with some concern, "Jiang Chen, the Wan Family really does have a lot of power in Jincheng. Offending him might not be wise!"

"It's fine. Even though ours is a contractual marriage, you are still my wife. He was harassing my wife in front of me and brazenly told me to leave her. If I don't deal with him, am I supposed to indulge him?" Jiang Chen waved his hand dismissively.

Gong Lin was slightly stunned, then couldn't help but lean against Jiang Chen, feeling a surge of sweetness in her heart.

"Bastard! You just wait!" Wan Feng chased out of the hotel, pointing at Jiang Chen and shouting fiercely.

Jiang Chen's expression turned cold, and he lifted his foot as if to kick again.

"Bang... Ow!"

Wan Feng hastily turned to run, slamming into the hotel door and howling in pain.

"Hmph." Jiang Chen snorted coldly, led Gong Lin into the car, and they drove back to her family's home.

Wan Feng, clutching his nose and watching Jiang Chen drive away with Gong Lin, grew angrier the more he thought about it. He ditched his bodyguards and ran directly to his car, driving towards the Gong Family residence in Dingjing.

Upon arriving at the Gong Family's Dingjing residence, Wan Feng pressed the doorbell anxiously.

"Coming, who is it?" A disgruntled shout sounded, and Gong Zijun came to the door. Seeing Wan Feng, Gong Zijun exclaimed in surprise, "Young Master Wan? What brings you here?"

Wan Feng replied impatiently, "Open the door. Is Old Lady Luo at home?"

"She is!" Gong Zijun nodded, quickly opening the gate.

The two of them made their way to the reception room. Gong Zijun asked Wan Feng to wait as he went to call Old Lady Luo.

Footsteps were heard, and Old Lady Luo arrived at the reception room, accompanied by Gong Zijun.

"Wan Feng, you little rascal, what brings you to visit me?" Old Lady Luo greeted Wan Feng with a beaming smile, familiar with him since childhood due to close ties between the Gong and Wan families.

Forcing a smile, Wan Feng said, "Granny, I just happened to be in Dingjing, so I thought I'd drop by to see you."

"Hehe, how thoughtful!" Old Lady Luo replied cheerfully.

Wan Feng's eyes darted around, and he ventured, "Granny, did Gong Lin really get married?"

Old Lady Luo blinked, her eyes suddenly lighting up—she had almost forgotten that Wan Feng fancied Gong Lin. He was far more suitable than Jiang Chen, that wild brat. Wan Feng was the legitimate heir of the Wan Family. If she could get Wan Feng to break up Jiang Chen and Gong Lin and then unite the two, that would be killing two birds with one stone!

However... she couldn't tell him that Jiang Chen was a member of the Jiang Family. If the Wan Family didn't want to get involved in the turmoil surrounding the Jiang Family, that would be problematic!

"Yes!" With thoughts racing, Old Lady Luo nodded and then frowned, "I have no idea what that darn girl Gong Lin is thinking, insisting on marrying a useless good-for-nothing. No matter how much we tried to persuade her, she wouldn't listen."

Wan Feng picked up on Old Lady Luo's dissatisfaction with Jiang Chen and immediately had an idea, saying with a smile, "Granny, I can help you deal with that Jiang Chen, but..."

He trailed off, but he was confident Old Lady Luo would understand the implication of his words.
