CHAPTER 803: CHAPTER 803: LOVE LUNCH

Lin Zifeng’s affection for Su Yumo is no secret within Eastern Group. However, it is merely his unrequited love. Despite pursuing her for a long time, Su Yumo has never agreed, so their relationship has not progressed.

And today happens to be Chinese Valentine’s Day. Lin Zifeng plans to take this opportunity to confess his deep feelings to Su Yumo! To this end, he specially airfreighted 999 French red roses from abroad and purchased a diamond ring worth five hundred thousand, hoping to win Su Yumo over as his girlfriend.

Confidently, Lin Zifeng stepped out of his Audi, adjusted his appearance in the car window, then looked down at the roses in his right hand and the diamond ring gift box in his left, with a smug curve of his lips.

No woman can resist the charm of flowers and diamond rings, even someone as cold as Su Yumo. He believes that today, as long as he shows enough sincerity, he can move the goddess in his heart and win her over!

Striding boldly, as he approached the opposite building entrance, Lin Zifeng tucked the small gift box into the center of the roses, like the moon surrounded by stars.

With a slight smile, Lin Zifeng pulled out his phone, ready to call Su Yumo and ask her to come down to hear his bold confession!

But just then, two people walked out from the front staircase, hand in hand, heading towards the community gate.

They looked very affectionate, just like a couple in love.

However, this wasn’t the pair Lin Zifeng was focusing on—what shocked him was that the girl among them was precisely the one he wanted to confess to, Su Yumo.

And the other man, unexpectedly, was someone he never imagined—his brother-in-law, Ye Xuan!

"Ye Xuan? How could it be him!?"

At this sight, Lin Zifeng’s eyes narrowed, his face stiffened, and he could hardly believe it.

How could he be with Su Yumo, and both of them appear so affectionate? Could the rumors in the company be true, that Ye Xuan is Su Yumo’s boyfriend?

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Lin Zifeng’s face turned as dark as water, clenched his fists tightly, and uttered three consecutive ’damn it’.

Feeling a strong rage filling his chest, flames of hatred spewed from his eyes—he wished he could charge forward and beat the hell out of Ye Xuan!

This damned guy, having his sister isn’t enough, and he dares to flirt with other women! What’s more, the person he’s flirting with is the woman Lin Zifeng likes.

Too despicable!

Even though he was blatantly cuckolded, Lin Zifeng was bitterly twisted inside—it almost made him vomit blood. His frustration was palpable!

"No! I must inform Lin Tong about this!"

Lin Zifeng’s eyes shifted, took a deep breath, suppressed the flames of anger within, and intended to call Lin Tong.

Of course, his motivation wasn’t to stand up for Lin Tong but to teach Ye Xuan a lesson and, in passing, disrupt their relationship.

Only by doing so could he find a chance to continue pursuing his goddess!

Just do it!

With a sinister gleam in his eyes, Lin Zifeng skillfully pulled out his phone, opened the contact list, found Lin Tong’s number, ready to dial.

But just as he was about to press it, hesitation flashed through his eyes.

Because he knew, once he did so, if Ye Xuan discovered it was him causing trouble behind the scenes, the stable relationship between Ye Xuan and the Lin Family would likely break!

If it were before, Lin Zifeng wouldn’t have cared; he wouldn’t even need to think and would have exposed the matter, reveling in the chaos.

At that time, Ye Xuan was merely a rural nobody in his eyes; he could stomp on Ye Xuan however he pleased, without any worries.

But times have changed. Ye Xuan’s power is now immense; he simply cannot compete. Where would he get the courage to act recklessly as he did before? Even then, he used to be so miserably outdone by Ye Xuan that he had to avoid him. Needless to say, now.

Moreover, the Lin Family relies entirely on Ye Xuan’s approval. If he offends Ye Xuan by accident and angers him, wouldn’t that drag the Lin Family into disaster?

Thinking of this, Lin Zifeng felt conflicted. He really wanted to expose Ye Xuan’s relationship with Su Yumo and split them apart.

But if his actions anger Ye Xuan, the Lin Family would lose its golden opportunity, negatively affecting the family’s future development. Forget about expanding; even maintaining its current size would be highly problematic!

He had no doubt—given Ye Xuan’s current strength, crumbling the Lin Family would be easy, and if the Lin Family fell, he too would end up with nothing.

Although he likes Su Yumo very much, sacrificing everything for a woman, risking bankruptcy and ruining his future, simply isn’t worth it!

After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Zifeng ultimately gave up on making the call.

Bang!

Throwing the French roses into the trash can, Lin Zifeng glared at Ye Xuan, who was walking out hand in hand with Su Yumo, and furiously turned to get into his car and drive away.

...

Ye Xuan had no idea that the scene of him with Su Yumo would be accidentally witnessed by Lin Zifeng, who came to confess his love. Yet even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.

How could this pleasure-seeking playboy brother-in-law think he could compete with Ye Xuan for a woman? Isn’t he asking for trouble?

After buying groceries with Su Yumo at the supermarket, they returned home and started preparing lunch.

Ye Xuan’s culinary skills, naturally beyond question, were already tried by Su Yumo before, so he took charge of cooking while she helped by sorting ingredients and doing what she could.

Initially, Ye Xuan felt he could handle everything alone and didn’t want to trouble Su Yumo. But she insisted that since today was Chinese Valentine’s Day, cooking together was more like celebrating the holiday.

Seeing how conscious she was, Ye Xuan was helpless and had no choice but to let her busy herself alongside him.

After bustling about for nearly an hour and a half, all dishes were on the table, and to better fit the atmosphere, Su Yumo arranged them in the shape of a heart.

"Ye Xuan, don’t eat yet; I want to take a photo as a keepsake."

With the heart-shaped romantic lunch set up, Su Yumo quickly took out her phone to snap pictures of the delicious food from all angles, to preserve this moment’s beauty.

"Momo, just take one picture; if you don’t start eating soon, the food will get cold! If you want to take photos, I’ll make it for you again next time."

Watching Su Yumo click the shutter from different directions, Ye Xuan pursed his lips and said with exasperation.

"Oh! What do you know? This is our first Chinese Valentine’s Day—it has such commemorative significance! We won’t feel the same next time, so I must take a lot of photos."

Su Yumo spoke while taking more than a dozen photos, then finally stopped, set down her phone, and sweetly smiled at Ye Xuan:

"Great! I’ve finished taking photos, so let’s eat now!"

Thus, the two sat at the table, enjoying their romantic Chinese Valentine’s Day lunch together.
