She looked at Nian Yufeng sympathetically and said, “It’s okay. As long as you work hard, you shouldn’t have to worry about anything else.”

”Well, thank you, Miss Ye. You are such a good person.”

Nian Yufeng stretched out her hand and wiped the tears from her face.

Then she tried to cover up and said, “It’s too spicy.”

Compared with the hot pot that had changed the taste in the Imperial Capital, the hot pot in Chengdu could be considered “authentic”. It was particularly spicy. It made people feel very comfortable while sweating.

Ye Tianxin and Li Qingcang did not act very over-the-top, but they still made people feel that they were particularly affectionate and sweet.

Nian Yufeng instantly wanted this kind of love too, and this was the love she longed for.

She hoped that her future partner was strong enough to protect her, like a bird under his wings.

Ye Tianxin and Li Qingcang were drinking the tremella soup specially prepared by the hot pot restaurant at the end of the meal.

“It is here.”

Mr. Lin kicked the door open with a bang and stood in the doorway with a menacing look on his face.

Li Qingcang didn’t seem to notice Mr. Lin, but he gently fed Ye Tianxin with a spoon to sip the tremella soup for beauty.

“Is it delicious?”

“It’s okay.”

Ye Tianxin’s face wore a happy smile, and she didn’t pay attention to the yelling people around her at all.

She pursed her lips with a cold and even cynical smile.

“Then, drink slowly.”

Mr. Lin at the door had been walking sideways in Chengdu since he came to Chengdu. When had he ever been so ignored?

He stretched out his fist and slammed the door that he kicked open, and made a loud noise.

“Are you blind?”

Nian Yufeng looked at Mr. Lin, then said, “Lin, these two are the distinguished guests who our department invited from the Imperial Capital. Please be respectful.”

“Ah… so you are from the Imperial Capital.”

Mr. Lin swaggered into the room with more than a dozen men behind him.

All these men wore black suits and black sunglasses. They looked so malicious that they might as well have worn signs that read “I am a bad guy!”

Li Qingcang had taken an attitude to ignore this kind of low-grade small-time hooligans.

“Lin, our boss will be here soon.”

“Yeah, right. He’s just a minister in a district, and I’m so scared of him. I am telling you that my uncle is on the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Do you know what the Commission for Discipline Inspection does? Shall I call my uncle and ask him to have your boss to his place for a cup of tea?”

Listening to the endless noise in her ears, Ye Tianxin waved her hand to indicate that she didn’t want to drink anymore.

Li Qingcang put the small bowl with the delicate blue flowers on the table. He took out a paper towel and gently wiped the corners of Ye Tianxin’s mouth.

Mr. Lin’s heart was full of spite.

He was a real person standing here. Couldn’t Li Qingcang see him… or was this man trying to embarrass him?

Li Qingcang asked indifferently, “Is your uncle Liu Jin?”

Mr. Lin was startled. He asked, “Do you know my uncle?”

“I have heard of him.”

Li Qingcang put down the tissue in his hand, stood up casually, and walked in front of Mr. Lin. He directly crushed him in a 360 degree all-around way.

Mr. Lin couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and he felt a sense of… inexplicable fear.
