Chen Hong's parents heard about Tao Junchen's recent activities in Longcheng.

So they approached Tao Junchen, asking him to persuade their daughter to hasten the marriage.

After all, they are the same age, have compatible personalities, and make a great match.

Upon hearing that Tao Junchen had returned to the country, Tao's parents invited him and Chen Hong to dine at a restaurant.

Tao Junchen, knowing about Chen Hong's parents' enthusiasm, couldn't refuse and invited Chen Hong over.

However, he didn't know that Chen Hong wasn't appreciative of it at all.

If not for her parents' repeated urging, fearing to strain the relationship between the two families.

Chen Hong certainly wouldn't want to come to this place.

The moment she saw Tao Junchen's face, Chen Hong felt a surge of disgust and couldn't help but frown.

Tao Junchen's mood was originally very good today, thinking he could finally return and marry the woman he loved.

He had long desired Chen Hong for many years, as she was not only outstanding in appearance and figure, but also beginning to shine in business.

Such a woman held a deadly allure for men.

Now that he had the opportunity, Tao Junchen naturally didn't want to let it slip away.

All the more so, since both families took this matter very seriously, and being with Chen Hong should have been a natural outcome.

Unexpectedly, he saw Chen Hong talking to Su Ming outside, looking quite intimate.

Tao Junchen couldn't help but feel a strong pang of jealousy rise in his heart.

"Chen Hong, aren't you going to introduce who this is? How did you come together? Isn't today supposed to be our date?"

Tao Junchen's gaze was fixed on Su Ming, filled with immense dissatisfaction.

He had pursued Chen Hong for so many years, childhood friends, the perfect match made in heaven.

Yet Chen Hong's traditional and conservative nature meant he hadn't even held her hand until now.

Now Chen Hong was so intimate with Su Ming, even entering arm in arm, it was like a slap in the face for Tao Junchen.

Therefore, the moment he saw Su Ming, an unquenchable fire sparked in Tao Junchen's heart.

In his view, Chen Hong was already his woman, and Su Ming's intrusion was essentially disregarding him.

He even felt as though he were wearing a bright green hat, his eyes nearly blazing with fire.

"He's Su Ming. Does it matter that I want to come with him? Do you want to imprison me and stop me from socializing?"

Chen Hong's face gradually turned cold after seeing Tao Junchen's reaction.

She had no intention of explaining; instead, she coolly questioned Tao Junchen, appearing calm and collected.

Tao Junchen had been Chen Hong's obedient admirer, always acting impeccably polite in her presence.

Now, blocked by her question, he didn't know how to retort, gritting his teeth in frustration but unable to lash out.

Looking at Chen Hong's alluring and fiery figure, Tao Junchen secretly vowed to himself.

Upon marrying this woman, he would surely dominate her on the bed.

Such a sexy and stunning woman must be a different person in bed, and he would definitely revel in it.

Otherwise, all his efforts over the years would have been in vain!

Realizing this, Tao Junchen forced himself to calm down, barely managing to muster a faint smile.

"Of course not. You have the freedom to make friends; please both have a seat."

Tao Junchen feigned calmness, maintaining his gentlemanly demeanor.

Su Ming noticed and subtly smiled, a faint smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

Having worked for Zhang Biao as a driver for years, Su Ming was adept at reading people.

He could instantly tell that Tao Junchen was driven by lust, unable to keep his eyes off Chen Hong's striking figure.

Yet the fact that he could maintain his gentlemanly facade surprised Su Ming.

Many men use sweet words when pursuing women, behaving like tame lambs.

But once they've won them over, they often change their attitude, losing appreciation for what they have.

Clearly, Tao Junchen understood this; securing Chen Hong first was paramount, after which he could do as he pleased.

He saw no reason to upset Chen Hong before marriage, thus he simply ignored Su Ming, treating him as if he weren't there.

Today, as long as he successfully proposed, with both families meddling, Chen Hong wouldn't have a say in their marriage.

However, Su Ming wasn't worried, knowing this was between Chen Hong and Tao Junchen.

Su Ming was curious to see how Chen Hong would handle this situation.

"Chen Hong, what would you like to eat? Order whatever you want. Today, I'm treating to celebrate our reunion and to our future together..."

Before Tao Junchen could finish, Chen Hong casually waved her hand, cutting him off.

Over the years, she knew this man was shameless, so she was too lazy to listen to his sweet words.

"Su Ming, see what you'd like to eat. Order at will; it's on Tao Junchen, so feel free..."

Chen Hong looked at Su Ming with a smile, speaking in a gentle and charming tone as she leaned into him.

Feeling the fullness of her presence against his arm, Su Ming's lips twitched, feeling heat surge through his body.

This woman was truly a seductress, openly flirting with him; no man could resist such a tempting voice.

Sitting opposite, Tao Junchen's eyes burned with rage; he'd never seen Chen Hong so intimate with another man.

It was clear to any onlooker that her relationship with Su Ming wasn't ordinary.

Especially seeing her coy behavior towards Su Ming, just hearing her sweet tone made him react below the belt.

Listening to Chen Hong, Su Ming casually flipped through the menu, seeing the exquisite, high-priced dishes.

It seemed that Tao Junchen was indeed willing to spend lavishly to pursue a woman.

"Alright, I'll just order a bit...bring me one of everything on these few pages."

Su Ming calmly spoke to the server as he browsed the menu.

"Sir, isn't that too much? The dishes here are..."

The server was taken aback by Su Ming's request, as their clientele were wealthy, accustomed to generous ordering.

Yet even so, they'd never seen anyone order this way, choosing items per menu page; did he think eating here was free?

Ordering like this, the meal would likely cost at least a hundred thousand.

Were it not for Su Ming's stylish attire and good looks, they might've suspected he came to dine on the house!
