Xia Ruya immediately glanced at the direction that Wen Xinya was looking in, only to see the dashing and handsome man walking towards them slowly. His eyes glistened like polished gemstones and he exuded a confident composure.

It was Zhong Rufeng!

Shocked out of her senses, Xia Ruya subconsciously compared Zhong Rufeng to Chu Jingnan and realized that the latter paled greatly in comparison, in terms of looks, talent, character, family background and wealth.

Zhong Rufeng stood beside Wen Xinya and glanced at her apologetically. “I’m sorry for being late. Something cropped up at the last minute.”

Wen Xinya took a look at the time on her Patek Philippe watch and said with a smile, “You’re not late at all. There are still two seconds to go before the time that we agreed to meet at. I just arrived not too long ago as well.”

However, it was indeed not gentlemanly to make a lady wait.

Zhong Rufeng glanced at Xia Ruya and Chu Jingnan calmly.

“What a coincidence, Senior Zhong!” Chu Jingnan exclaimed, trying his best to contain his mixed emotions while greeting Zhong Rufeng smilingly.

“Not really. I’m here for a meal with Xinya.” Although Chu Jingnan had concealed his emotions well, the sharp and sensitive Zhong Rufeng could tell the passion in Chu Jingnan’s eyes when he was gazing at Wen Xinya.

Chu Jingnan could hear the animosity in Zhong Rufeng’s tone. After noticing the way that Zhong Rufeng was looking at Wen Xinya, Chu Jingnan figured out that he fancied Wen Xinya too.

A sudden tension filled the air.

It was not the first time that Xia Ruya had met Zhong Rufeng. Although she used to only find him to be outstanding in the past, she suddenly felt that he looked extremely captivating and opulent. She could not help but feel attracted to him…

Seemingly having sensed that she was staring at him, Zhong Rufeng glanced at her casually, displeased to see that she was clad in a dress that was similar to the one Wen Xinya was wearing.

After the brief exchange, Chu Jingnan and Xia Ruya left together.

Wen Xinya led Zhong Rufeng to one of the four private dining rooms in the restaurant. She had specifically chosen one that was beside the window.

“What would you like to eat? It’s my treat today,” Wen Xinya said smilingly while sliding him the menu.

“The chili fish pot looks good. Would you like to give it a try?” Zhong Rufeng suggested, holding the menu in his hands.

“Do you take spicy foods?” Wen Xinya asked in shock.

Zhong Rufeng smile and said, “My grandfather enjoys spicy foods, so I’ve acquired a taste for spicy foods too, after following his eating habits. My grandfather told me that you like eating spicy foods as well.”

In actual fact, he did not really enjoy spicy foods and was merely trying to please her because he heard from his grandfather that Wen Xinya enjoyed spicy foods. Hence, he decided to give them a try and get himself used to it.

Beaming with joy as if she had found a kindred spirit, she hurriedly ordered a few spicy dishes.

After she was done ordering, Zhong Rufeng asked, “Are you very close to Chu Jingnan?”
