Su Wanyi and Ye Chen are going to Grandpa Su's birthday banquet. They discuss their relationship and his grandfather's potential desire for great-grandchildren. Upon arriving at the lavish Crown Pearl Hotel, they make a grand entrance, drawing admiration and speculation about their identities as a seemingly perfect couple. Su Wanyi presents a longevity painting as a gift, endearing herself to her grandfather and confirming her identity to the assembled guests, though Ye Chen's presence still raises questions.

Everyone was speculating about the handsome young man standing beside Su Wanyi.

After all, anyone who could match up to Master Su’s granddaughter couldn’t be an ordinary person; he must be some rich family’s scion.

"Wanyi, who is this?" Elder Su asked, looking at the young man by his granddaughter’s side.

He felt like he had seen Ye Chen before, but couldn’t quite recall.

"Grandpa, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Ye Chen." Su Wanyi smiled as she linked her arm with Ye Chen’s.

Elder Su looked at the young man before him and nodded with great satisfaction.

"Not bad, not bad, truly an impressive young man," Elder Su praised.

"Grandpa, I wish you happiness as infinite as the East Sea and longevity greater than the Southern Mountain’s evergreen pines," Ye Chen said, bowing to Elder Su.

"Good, good." Elder Su couldn’t stop grinning at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was not only good-looking but also very talented, exactly the kind of grandson-in-law Elder Su favored.

Ye Chen wasn’t worried about Elder Su’s attitude, as all his assets were obvious for anyone with eyes to see.

Of course, Elder Su didn’t further question Ye Chen’s background, mainly because he felt a strong connection with Ye Chen and genuinely liked him from the heart, caring little about his family background.

However, what Elder Su didn’t know was that Ye Chen’s family was much more prominent than the Su Family. If the elder knew the truth, he’d be utterly shocked.

He thought the Su Family had enough money and didn’t care much about Ye Chen’s wealth.

Elder Su could tell from his granddaughter’s eyes that all she saw was Ye Chen, and that was enough.

He never misjudged anyone, believing that Ye Chen was indeed worthy of his granddaughter.

"Alright, Little Chen, you two go have fun. Don’t let this old man hold you up; I’m a bit tired and will rest in my room for a while." Elder Su smiled at Ye Chen.

Everyone could tell from the elder’s address just how pleased he was with this grandson-in-law.

After all, marrying Su Wanyi was a dream for many men, though her partner must have the elder’s approval, even more than her father’s.

"Grandpa, let me help you back to your room." Ye Chen promptly offered as he helped Elder Su.

The elder didn’t refuse and let Ye Chen assist him to the room.

"Grandpa, shall I keep you company for a chat?" Ye Chen offered to the seated Elder Su.

"No need, go on and keep Wanyi company. I’m old and my body can’t keep up; sitting too long makes me tired. I think I’ll rest here for a bit," Elder Su waved him off.

"Alright then, please have a good rest. If you feel bored, I can come to accompany you," Ye Chen nodded.

After speaking, Ye Chen turned and left the room, returning to the banquet hall.

"Ye Chen, judging from Grandpa’s attitude, I think he really likes you and is very satisfied with you," Su Wanyi said with a smile.

"Of course, I’m loved by all, flowers bloom at my sight," Ye Chen joked.

At that moment, a few people entered from outside, each holding expensive gifts for Elder Su’s birthday celebration.

In Elder Su’s absence, Father Su received the arriving guests of honor.

"Ye Chen, let’s go over there and grab something to eat," Su Wanyi suggested.

She wasn’t fond of chatting with the uncles, fearing her father might call her over to help entertain guests, so she quickly left.

Su Wanyi held Ye Chen’s arm as they moved through the crowd to the dessert and beverage section.

Ye Chen didn’t need to socialize with these people at all; his duty was simply enjoying the food.

Amongst these people, it was just a game of one-upmanship, each more boastful than the last.

Ye Chen felt that talking to them was a waste of time, time better spent savoring the delicious food.

"Oh, Ye Chen, look at us, how fated we are to meet again," a man’s voice sounded from behind.

Awkwardly, Ye Chen ignored it and continued eating his food.

The man was almost furious, being ignored in such a setting was truly embarrassing.

Zhao Qing saw that Ye Chen didn’t respond, so he hurriedly moved in front of Ye Chen and called out, "Ye Chen, what are you doing here?"

Ye Chen swallowed the food in his mouth, didn’t even look at Zhao Qing, and replied, "I’m here to eat, of course."

Zhao Qing was infuriated by being ignored again and this sort of answer. If it were outside, he would’ve been outraged, but in this situation, he had to control his emotions.

He thought to himself that Ye Chen, just a delivery man, couldn’t possibly attend such a high-class birthday banquet. Yet, everyone here was a notable figure in Modu.

But Zhao Qing wasn’t in that circle; he was only here to gain some insight due to Young Master Zhou’s influence.

At this moment, a woman with a graceful figure and noble temperament walked by, drawing the fixed stares of Zhao Qing and the surrounding men, unable to peel off their gaze from Su Wanyi.

Ye Chen continued to focus on eating his food, not sparing the elegant beauty even a glance.

This was hard for the men around to believe, as indeed, who doesn’t like looking at a beauty?

It’s like how beauty loves handsome guys.

But Ye Chen’s behavior was uniquely different, as if in his eyes there was no beauty, only delicious food.

"Ye Chen, what would you like to drink? I’ll get it for you," Su Wanyi offered with a smile.

"No need, I’ll get it myself in a bit," Ye Chen gestured with his hand.

Everyone knew this beauty was Elder Su’s real granddaughter, Su Wanyi. Many men wanted to approach her, but she didn’t even spare them a glance, directly approaching Ye Chen for cheerful conversation.

Some people knew Ye Chen was Su Wanyi’s boyfriend, while others didn’t know this.

Seeing Ye Chen getting attention from such a beauty made the men around him nearly lose their minds with envy, extremely jealous of this food-focused Ye Chen.

Zhao Qing was even angrier in his heart; after all, he was a departmental manager, and Ye Chen was just a delivery guy. What right did he have to get attention from such a beauty?

His ex-girlfriend’s attitude toward Ye Chen had already made him uneasy, and now seeing Hu Hai’s most beautiful woman, Su Wanyi, chatting and laughing with Ye Chen made him even angrier.

At this moment, Zhao Qing had an idea, deciding to settle both old and new scores, a smirk forming on his face.
