Xu Chencan absentmindedly walked out of Xue Tianning's office. In the meantime, he had met quite a few people, but Xu Chencan pretended not to notice.

Seeing Xu Chenghan return expressionlessly, Doctor Chen glanced at his phone before looking back at Xu Chencan with a conflicted look on his face.

"Ask whatever you want." Xu Chencan stared straight ahead as he spoke.

"Are you okay?" Dr. Chen whispered as she lifted the hair by her ear.

Looking at Xu Chencan's shocked expression, she felt pity for the girl in front of her. She had become the topic of discussion for everyone after the meal.

Xu Chencan shook his head, then smiled and said, "It's just some small tricks, there's no need to put them to heart."

Seeing that she really didn't care, Doctor Chen let out a sigh of relief and went back to his work.

When it was time for lunch break, Xue Tianning finally arrived at his office to announce the reunion of dinner.

Furthermore, the place where they were having dinner was rather expensive. It was unexpectedly a large restaurant like Jin Tian. Normally, a simple meal would cost more than a hundred yuan.

While everyone was still in discussion, Xu Chencan took the opportunity to send a text message to Chu Lingyu.

"They're all unimportant people, why are you acting like this?"

Chu Lingyu acted as if she was standing guard by the phone, and quickly replied, "My wife has suffered greatly, as a husband, I naturally have to help her vent her anger."

Even though he was no longer in front of Xu Chencan, he could still see his opponent's arrogant appearance. The coldness he had felt in his heart disappeared.

In the evening, it was finally time to get off work.

Today was different from usual, Chu Lingyu had not come to pick him up, and there was no driver.

Xue Tianning walked beside Xu Chencan and saw her staring disappointedly into the distance. He hid his sadness and said, "He'll go make the arrangements first. I'll lead you there."

So that's how it was. Xu Chencan's face broke into a smile as she obediently followed Xue Tianning out.

When they arrived at Jin Tian's entrance, everyone was standing outside, as if they were waiting for someone.

The moment Xu ChenCan got out of the car, everyone bowed to her and said in unison, "Welcome, Madam. Please come in."

Xu Chencan was still clutching her chest, clearly still frightened.

"Are you okay?" Xue Tianning looked at her worriedly, even extending a hand for her to support him at any time.

"I'm fine." Xu Chencan's face was still pale. She looked up and pretended to be calm as she shook her head.

The curious crowd turned to look at Xu Chencan. Seeing her pale face and feigning concern, they asked, "Dr. Xu, are you alright? They call you 'Madam'. Why are you still scared?"

"My endurance isn't that good." Xu Chencan explained with a smile, then slowly regained his composure.

However, based on her current appearance, she seemed to be forcing a smile. Everyone doubted her words.

There were even more busybodies who came up to her and used their height advantage to look her from her feet to her head.

"Are you really unable to bear it, or have you never experienced this?" His tone was filled with disdain towards Xu Chencan, even disdain.

Chu Lingyu, who did not see Xu Chencan come in, walked out to see if she was being troubled. Just as she reached the door, she heard such infuriating words.

He strode behind the man and pulled Xu Chencan to his side, narrowing his eyes as he scrutinized the man in front of him.

"My Chu Clan has many businesses, isn't it normal for my wife to not understand this?" Chu Lingyu sneered.

With just a glance, that person shut his mouth tactfully and kept retreating backwards.

Very good, he was very satisfied with this result.

Chu Lingyu walked in front of them, her arms around Xu Chencan's waist.

"How could you create such a big battle formation? If it wasn't for the fact that I'm strong enough to handle it, I would have been scared to death by you." Xu Chencan glared at her in displeasure.

It was all Chu Lingyu's fault. After saying so, she looked at Chu Lingyu with hidden bitterness. Who had this guy offended? How could he be treated like this?

"I just wanted to give you a surprise." he explained, glaring at the flunkies.

Seeing his childish side, Xu Chencan let out a helpless sigh and followed him inside.

The rest of the group followed behind them. Watching the interaction between the two, they were all at a loss. It seemed that Chu Lingyu had previously said that Xu Chencan was his wife.

When they reached the private room, Chu Lingyu waited for everyone to come in before letting them take their seats.

"Everyone, I'm very happy to see you take care of my wife. As for those untruthful words, let's not say anything today and just eat in peace." Chu Lingyu smiled and looked around.

Imperceptibly, everyone felt a strong sense of pressure, and some even lowered their heads in guilt.

They had indeed said some bad things about Xu Chencan today, and were currently worrying about this Hong Gate banquet.

"Since we are all guests here, there is no need to be so formal." Seeing their uneasiness, Chu Lingyu reminded them again.

Xu Chencan looked at Chu Lingyu, who was standing beside him, and smirked.

Sensing that someone was looking at her, Chu Lingyu turned to look at her, "What's wrong, is there something wrong?"

"Nope." Xu Chencan immediately shook her head, her face slowly turning red. She squeezed Chu Lingyu's hand under the table and said, "I just think you're very handsome."

Even if they were just teaming up, Chu Lingyu would still think so much for him. Xu Chencan was so touched that he did not know what to say.

"Dr. Xu, have you been married for very long?" Suddenly, someone couldn't help but ask curiously.

Xu Chencan looked at Chu Lingyu, not knowing how to respond.

"We were married not long ago, so my wife kept a low profile. She didn't want me to disturb her work, so she didn't say anything." Chu Lingyu took the initiative to help Xu Chencan answer.

The man nodded, as if he wanted to ask something else.

Xu Chencan suddenly became nervous. She knew that she was wrong to say so much. She didn't like it when people questioned her privacy.

The two men who had been looking at Xu Chencan saw her resistance and glared at her in dissatisfaction.

Xue Tianning coughed fakely and joked, "Doctor Zhao, today is our party. Don't focus on the couple."

Having been reminded, Dr. Zhao lowered his head in fear and carefully drank his drink with both hands.

Xu Chencan nodded gratefully at Xue Tianning, but Chu Lingyu's expression suddenly turned cold. He put his hand on Xu Chencan's shoulder in dissatisfaction and looked at Xue Tianning provocatively.

Xue Tianning rolled his eyes, too lazy to bother with his childish behavior.

Seeing that he was ignoring her, Chu Lingyu turned to Xu Chencan and warned him in a low voice, "I don't want to make eye contact with him."
