Chapter 135: Damn it! She’s coming for my wife!

"It seems the newcomer does not come with good intentions."

Wen Wan spoke softly, her eyes filled with vigilance. Ever since Elena had declared her intention to snatch Chen Luo away, her nerves had become incredibly sensitive. Although she knew that Chen Luo was devoted to her and incapable of straying, she was equally aware that his charm was far too potent—so great that even a peerless woman like Elena could not resist it, let alone anyone else. The way this female vice president was looking at her seemed a bit overly enthusiastic!

"If she really is here for Chen Luo, I will consider bankrupting Bilibili directly!"

She muttered this in a voice only she could hear just as Su Qiang arrived before her.

"Huff! Huff! Huff!"

Standing in front of Wen Wan, Su Qiang’s cheeks were flushed, and she was panting, her eyes brimming with fanaticism. Seeing her state, a cold glint flashed in Wen Wan’s eyes. It seems my guess was right; this impatient look is all for Chen Luo.

"Who are you?" Her tone was laced with wariness and coldness.

"President Wen! Hello! It is an honor! I am the Vice President of Bilibili, Su Qiang!"

"It is such a massive, massive, massive honor to meet you!"

Su Qiang enthusiastically grabbed Wen Wan’s hand, so overwhelmed with excitement that she completely ignored Chen Luo standing behind her.

"Oh, I see, Vice President Su. A pleasure to meet you." Wen Wan was left bewildered by this attitude. Was she not here for Chen Luo after all?

"Please, this way! To be able to share a dinner with you is something I never even dared to dream of!"

Regardless of how familiar they were, Su Qiang eagerly took Wen Wan’s arm and led her toward the restaurant. Seeing Su Qiang act so enthusiastically toward Wen Wan, Chen Luo felt that something was definitely not right.

At this moment, Chen Rui stepped out to greet Chen Luo. Chen Luo pointed at Su Qiang and asked in a low voice, "President Chen! Isn't your Vice President supposed to be discussing our cooperation?"

Chen Rui patted Chen Luo on the shoulder with a strange expression. "This Vice President Su... her admiration for President Wen is, well, quite astonishing."

Damn it! Could this woman be here for my wife? Dammit! I won't let some lesbian take advantage of my wife!

"President Chen, hurry, let’s go inside and eat!" He grabbed Chen Rui and pulled him along, nearly dragging him to the ground.

The four of them entered the private dining room one after another. Su Qiang sat on Wen Wan’s left side without a hint of hesitation, and Chen Luo hurriedly took the seat on her right.

"President Wen, although I am older than you, I grew up listening to your legendary exploits."

"Back in the day, you made your name in the capital in a single battle, crushing two well-known enterprises. At the time, I analyzed every single move you made."

Su Qiang was incredibly excited, holding onto Wen Wan’s hands and refusing to let go, rattling on about Wen Wan’s past triumphs. Although Wen Wan had never publicized these achievements, Su Qiang had studied every one of them, even keeping hundreds of thousands of words in analytical records.

"Vice President Su is too kind." It was the first time Wen Wan had realized she had such a fanatical fan, and for a moment, she didn't know how to respond to such endless streams of adoration.

"Yes, yes, we are about to start eating now. Vice President Su, could you please let go of her hand?" Chen Luo gritted his teeth and reached out, pulling Su Qiang’s hand away with force.

Su Qiang was caught off guard and pulled back. Looking at her own hands, her eyes seemed filled with lingering regret. She had wanted to hold on a little longer; she decided she wouldn't wash her hands when she got home today.

Chen Luo grabbed Wen Wan’s hand, interlacing their fingers tightly, and cast a hostile glare at Su Qiang. Wen Wan took all of this in, the corners of her mouth curling upward. Oh my, my little guy is actually jealous—and jealous of a woman, no less. That’s a fresh experience.

His jealous expression was truly endearing. It seems this Su Qiang might be useful. Seeing my little guy act jealous again in the future would be quite nice indeed.

(Su Qiang: So, I’m just a pawn in your little game?)

The waiter brought the dishes out quickly, and Su Qiang eagerly stood up to serve Wen Wan some soup. Chen Luo snatched the bowl away immediately and smiled at Su Qiang.

"Vice President Su is a guest here in Hangzhou; how could we let you do the work? That should be the job of the host."

He promptly ladled a bowl of soup for Wen Wan. Su Qiang froze for a moment, and then a look of irritation flickered in her eyes. *Seriously? You're going to stop me from serving my idol soup, too? Do you live by the sea—are you trying to control everything?*

When she looked up, Su Qiang and Chen Luo locked eyes. Where their gazes met, there seemed to be faint, crackling sparks of hostility. *I am going to control it! I won't let you take advantage of my Wan'er no matter what!*

"President Chen is certainly being polite. At the end of the day, we are starting a partnership; there is no need to stand on ceremony, right?" As she spoke, Su Qiang placed a piece of fish into Wen Wan’s bowl. "I remember hearing somewhere that you like this fish, President Wen. I specifically asked the restaurant to add this dish. You should try it and see if it’s authentic."

Wen Wan glanced at Chen Luo, smiled, and picked up the fish to eat. "Mhm, it's authentic. You are very thoughtful, Vice President Su."

Su Qiang beamed with joy upon hearing this, her hands even trembling slightly. Chen Luo saw her trembling hands and his heart sank.

*Damn it! Confirmed! This damn lesbian is absolutely here for my wife! No way! I will never let her succeed!*

"Wan'er, come, have some beef to cover up the fishy taste."
