Lin Yanan heard this and responded calmly.

"You..." Upon hearing this, Lan Yuexuan's face instantly was covered in frost, as if she felt that Yanan's final words had deeply pierced her heart.

She, who controls assets worth hundreds of billions and can maintain calm in any situation as a powerful woman,

was rendered speechless by her own daughter's anger.

Thinking of this, Lan Yuexuan directly raised her arm, opened her palm, and intended to slap Yanan's cheek.

Yanan saw this and hopelessly closed her eyes, acting as if she was ready to let Lan Yuexuan handle her as she pleased.

As soon as Lan Yuexuan raised her arm, she felt a strong hand grab her wrist.

She immediately realized that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free from this grip that felt like a tiger's claw.

Lan Yuexuan slowly shifted her gaze forward and immediately saw a figure with a breeze-like calm demeanor, standing straight as a pine tree.

Su Ming then calmly said:

"Auntie, normally when you hit Yanan, I might not see it, so I can't intervene, but now that I am her husband, I definitely cannot let you hit her in front of me. I'm sorry."

"Ha, you truly have courage, but do you understand this principle: when facing a person of extremely high status, it is best to suppress your emotions to avoid getting into serious trouble, because I never come to Longcheng alone."

At this moment, Lan Yuexuan laughed angrily. As soon as she finished speaking, a tall figure appeared at the villa's entrance.

Su Ming looked over and immediately noticed it was the man who watched him with cold eyes standing in front of that Mercedes earlier.

He was Lan Yuexuan's bodyguard, the owner of the Shangjing Fierce Tiger Martial Arts Hall, Duan Tao, proficient in various martial arts.

Before becoming Lan Yuexuan's bodyguard, he was a personal bodyguard of one of the country's core leaders.

After that leader passed away, he came to Lan Yuexuan, taking on the responsibility of protecting her.

It can be said that among all the skilled fighters in the country, his strength is certainly one of the top tier.

Seeing this, Su Ming's expression immediately became serious.

Because he found this man's aura to be much stronger than any opponent he had faced before.

Even Liu Ruili, whom he met in Xia City, seemed like an ant compared to him.

He was even stronger than Li Guoqiang's subordinate, A Biao, who was feared by many in Longcheng.

In just a blink of an eye, Su Ming found Duan Tao already standing in front of him.

He then raised a fist as large as a sandbag, seemingly about to smash it down on Su Ming's head with force.

"Uncle Duan!" Yanan quickly shouted upon seeing this.

Su Ming still remained composed, the fist enlarging in his eyes, only a hair's breadth away.

He didn't blink, simply looked at Duan Tao with a cold gaze, still not letting go of Lan Yuexuan's wrist from his grasp.

"Duan Tao, don't damage his face, otherwise, my dear daughter will surely feel heartache."

At this moment, Lan Yuexuan calmly spoke. Hearing her words, Duan Tao immediately lowered his fist, standing still without movement.

The contempt that had appeared in his eyes for Su Ming disappeared, replaced by affirmation and appreciation.

You see, if that punch from Duan Tao had landed on Su Ming's head, without him dodging,

Su Ming would probably fall directly on the spot, if not immediately dead, he risked becoming a vegetable due to severe concussion.

Duan Tao knew Su Ming could completely let go of Lan Yuexuan's wrist and dodge to the side.

But he didn't do that, so Duan Tao believed Su Ming was sure he wouldn't let the punch hit his head.

Yet, what if Duan Tao hadn't obeyed Lan Yuexuan's order and punched out anyway?

This courage and bravery from Su Ming had already won Duan Tao's respect.

He admitted that at Su Ming's age, he couldn't have achieved that level.

Su Ming understood that a rational and clear-thinking woman like Lan Yuexuan,

wouldn't let her bodyguard punch her daughter's beloved man in front of her.

If she did so, Yanan would likely hold a grudge against her for a long time.

"Alright, can you let go of my wrist now?"

Lan Yuexuan's eyes revealed a sense of helplessness as she spoke.

Su Ming heard this and then released Lan Yuexuan's wrist, calmly saying, "Auntie, sorry."

He knew Lan Yuexuan was just testing him and had not genuinely intended for Duan Tao to act.

"Yanan, you have good taste; I am pleased with his looks, temperament, personality, and character."

Hearing this, Yanan looked at Su Ming with increasing affection and admiration in her eyes.

She felt extraordinarily proud and joyful because to hear such praise from her mother,

who had exceedingly high standards, was incredibly rare.

Especially since the person she praised was her beloved, it left her feeling inexplicably moved.

At the same time, she recalled Su Ming's earlier behavior, believing that her judgment was not misplaced.

Su Ming was indeed the perfect partner to accompany her through life.

However, the serious and worried look on Yanan's face did not fade at all.

Sure enough, Lan Yuexuan promptly added:

"However, having these qualities alone is far from enough. If strength and status do not match, your future life will surely face many obstacles and dangers."

Upon hearing this, Yanan's heart filled with a sense of despair.

Just as she was determined to elope with Su Ming, to escape from her overly controlling mother,

Su Ming spoke up at this moment: "Auntie, can every person be born into the same privileged environment and terrifying family background as you? Can't ordinary people, not born with a silver spoon, rely on their efforts to reach the pinnacle of success?"

Lan Yuexuan looked at Su Ming, whose face now showed seriousness and couldn't help but pause, her eyes somewhat lost.

Because she seemed to see in Su Ming the shadow of that man, who wielded power in Xia City, his influence reaching everywhere.

"Su Ming, you should know, there are many people with thoughts like yours, but they eventually turn into insignificant waves in the tides of time, becoming completely lost to the world. I have seen many people like you who just talk big and ultimately fail before the harsh reality."
