"This shredded meat tastes really good, try some."
Liu Nanfeng ate a piece of chili-fried pork, found it quite delicious, and offered a piece to Su Huamei.
Su Huamei, sitting opposite him, naturally wouldn't refuse. She slightly extended her neck and opened her mouth to take the morsel from his chopsticks.
"Honey, what are you looking at?" asked Zhu Zhicheng's female companion in a delicate voice.
Following his gaze, she saw Liu Nanfeng and his female companion, whom she had met before.
Looking at the companion's appearance and figure, she felt a pang of jealousy, but she didn't show it. Instead, she casually remarked, "What does your friend do? His girlfriend is so beautiful! They seem to be very much in love."
Her words seemed to praise Su Huamei's beauty, but they were actually emphasizing that Su Huamei already had a boyfriend, who was also Zhu Zhicheng's friend, and that they were deeply in love.
A woman who could be brought out for a private dinner by a rich second-generation like Zhu Zhicheng was not only attractive but also intelligent. Even if she felt uncomfortable, she couldn't express it openly and displease him.
"Something's wrong, very wrong," Zhu Zhicheng murmured.
Although Su Huamei had admitted it herself before, he had dismissed it as a joke to deter him from pestering her. But seeing their intimate behavior and feeding each other now, he realized that she might have been telling the truth.
"What's wrong?"
"That kid is married, he has a wife," Zhu Zhicheng turned to answer.
"Is he that much of a scoundrel?" the female companion exclaimed, feigning surprise.
It was unclear whether she was genuinely shocked or simply accustomed to such behavior, as she knew Zhu Zhicheng was even more promiscuous.
"Yes, and the worst part is, Su Huamei is his sister-in-law. He's a beast!" Zhu Zhicheng said indignantly.
The female companion just smiled, thinking he was merely jealous of the other man, especially over such a beautiful woman.
However, she voiced the same indignation as him.
This immediately drew Zhu Zhicheng's attention back to her, making him feel they were on the same page and fostering a sense of closeness. @Essence/Book Pavilion·No Error First Release~~
Since Zhu Zhicheng had arrived earlier, he left after their meal without saying goodbye.
However, before leaving, he settled Liu Nanfeng's bill.
"If he's such a scoundrel, and you're so angry, why did you pay his bill?" the female companion asked, puzzled.
"Consider it a last supper."
Zhu Zhicheng said in a low voice, then burst into laughter.
"Tomorrow, I'll go and report him to his wife."
As he spoke, he took out his phone and scrolled through the photos he had secretly taken earlier to prove his words.
"Is this really okay? He'll turn against you," the female companion said, a little worried.
After reporting him, they would likely cease to be friends, possibly even become enemies. If things went badly, who knew what crazy things he might do. It wasn't worth the risk.
"What's not okay about it? There's an old saying, 'Do not bully a friend's wife.'"
"What does that mean?"
"'Do not deceive your friend's wife, be honest,' ha ha..."
"I didn't have much education, you're just teasing me like this, do you really think I haven't read books? Is that what this saying means?"
Not to mention them, Liu Nanfeng and Su Huamei finished their dinner after more than an hour.
Su Huamei had only eaten a little at the beginning, and then she spent most of her time watching Liu Nanfeng eat or helping him serve dishes.
She even ordered two more dishes midway, and only then did she realize that Zhu Zhicheng had already paid their bill.
However, the men around them, who were secretly glancing at Su Huamei's beauty, all silently lamented that Liu Nanfeng must be very wealthy.
Otherwise, why would such a beautiful girl be so considerate and virtuous, instead of being pampered and served? It was already a miracle that she wasn't being adored.
After dinner, the two of them went shopping in the mall for a while, bought some things, and then picked up their car to go home.
It was already around eleven o'clock at night. There were few cars and very few people on the road.
"This Sunday, should we go to the children's mall?"
Su Huamei, sitting in the passenger seat, rested her head against the window and looked out.
"What are we going there for?" Liu Nanfeng asked, puzzled. (This chapter is not finished!)

"Don't we need to prepare some things for the baby?" Su Huamei turned her head and glanced at him.
"No need. It's too early to prepare now, and your sister specifically told me that she would buy these things herself," Liu Nanfeng replied.
"Alright, then that saves me some trouble."
Su Huamei shrugged indifferently and turned her gaze back to the window.
However, Liu Nanfeng sensed her mood was a bit down.
He knew that Su Huamei had always wanted a child.
Just as he was about to comfort her, he sensed something unusual and immediately became alert. Su Huamei also sat up straight, her eyebrows raised.
She was already in a bad mood, and she wondered which unlucky person was provoking her at this moment. @Essence/Book Pavilion*First Release Update~~
Their car was currently driving on a newly built road. Jiangcheng had developed rapidly in recent years, with new houses and roads springing up like mushrooms after rain.
While this had made things more convenient for everyone, it had also led to a scarcity of people in some more secluded areas.
The road Liu Nanfeng was currently on was a newly constructed one. It was closer to the river from this side, but the residential buildings on both sides were not yet completed. Therefore, this road was not only deserted but also had very few cars. Under the dim streetlights, it appeared somewhat eerie.
The reason Liu Nanfeng was alert was that in his peripheral vision, he saw a dark shadow flash past in the dim light, chasing his car from the side.
With his current eyesight, it was almost impossible for him to be mistaken, and after seeing the shadow, his spiritual sense also issued a warning.
"This car was just a gift to you, so they can't damage it."
Su Huamei muttered softly, then rolled down the car window. Then, like a soft giant python, she "slid" out of the narrow window onto the car roof. A long brocade ribbon then appeared in her hands.
As the car drove forward, the moving wind caused the brocade ribbon to flutter and rustle.
"What are you waiting for?" Su Huamei raised her eyebrows.
As soon as her words fell, a dark figure flashed out from behind a distant streetlight pole. Holding a long saber, they lunged through the air towards the oncoming vehicle.
The move appeared reckless, but the sharp whistling sound the saber produced as it cut through the air indicated its immense power.
Su Huamei, not wanting the car to be damaged, couldn't just sit back and wait. She lightly tapped the car roof with her toes and charged forward. The brocade ribbon in her hands snaked upwards like a spiritual snake, one end wrapping around the saber in the attacker's hand, and the other end around the attacker's body.
The attacker's saber was incredibly sharp, but Su Huamei's brocade ribbon was extremely soft, using flexibility to overcome hardness. The attacker's saber seemed to have no place to exert force. Not only did the blow fail to succeed, but it was also entangled like a spider's web, making it difficult to shake off.
Just then, another figure suddenly appeared behind the dark shadow, as if using a clone technique.
However, both Su Huamei and Liu Nanfeng knew that this was not some clone technique or illusion, but truly another person.
Looking at their figures, Liu Nanfeng frowned slightly, thinking, "Are they that impatient?"
They had met during the day, and now they were showing up at night.
He steered the car to the side of the road, stopped slowly, and then opened the door and got out.
