When Gu Yang entered the vehicle, she sighed when she saw her fiance’s grim expression, “Sorry to embarrass you today.”

Men want face, and after she calmed down, she knew that the mess in the buffet made Shu Haonan look bad.

“It’s fine. I’m already used to it.” Shu Haonan replied faintly. Ever since he attached himself to the Gu Family, he had never thought of dignity. He might not have married Gu Yang, but he’s already considered the Gu Family’s son-in-law. The entire Gu Family felt that it was due to their help that he could come this far, so they would often treat him with contempt.

Shu Haonan was already used to it. He had been bearing it all in his heart and it was just that he did not show it on the surface, for now.

Gu Yang sighed as she glanced at the relatives sitting on the backseat, pondering to prepare more gifts for them to make Shu Haonan feel better.

Sitting in the front passenger seat, Gu Yang stared at the traffic lights as she suddenly asked, “Who’s that young man earlier? Ye Sheng is famed for his temper in Beijing’s circle, and it’s unusual for him to be so polite with someone.”

Shu Haonan sighed upon listening to that question. Gu Yang was often smart, but she was also like a vase who knows nothing in some matters as he replied, “We’ve once met before.”

“We met before?” Gu Yang tried her best to recall and continued, “Why didn’t I have any recollection of him?”

Slamming on the horn impatiently, Shu Haonan replied, “Didn’t you tell me a month ago that he’s not an ordinary physician to be a National Healer in the Central Healthcare Committee in his twenties? He had previously treated Vice Premier Xiao in Russia and made a huge contribution. Furthermore, he has a close relationship with the Ni Family. The Ni Family owns shares in the branch of his pharmacy located in Beijing.”

“It’s him! Jiang Qinghan’s disciple?” Gu Yang sighed as her eyes lit up.

Shu Haonan fell into silence as he subconsciously took out a stick of cigarette, lighting it up and took a puff.

He did not recognise Su Tao in the beginning, and he only recalled Su Tao after they fought!

Previously when Jiang Qinghan went to look for Yan Sun in Russia, he has been paying attention to it at all times. He found out that she followed China's Representative Team to China, which Su Tao went along with as well.

After knowing that Su Tao was Jiang Qinghan’s disciple, he went to investigate Su Tao. However, he was surprised as Su Tao’s history was a piece of blank paper, it was as if he appeared out of nowhere.

Shu Haonan judged that Su Tao’s information might be highly classified or he really doesn’t have any past.

This is also the reason why Shu Haonan ultimately chose to take a step back.

He’s a person who knows how to advance and retreat. He knows what to do in a situation to gain the greatest benefit.

He never expected that Jiang Qinghan would have someone so formidable beside her, and at the same time, he was relieved.

Even now, he still couldn’t forget Jiang Qinghan. Now that she knows that Yan Sun is still alive, will she be able to lay down her obsession and find her own happiness?

Regardless of anything, it’s a pity that he’s currently bound to Gu Yang, and he couldn’t get himself out.

Between the woman he loves and the woman who loves him, and between women and his career, he chose the latter.

The staff in the restaurant started cleaning up. When the employees of the Three Flavour Hall wanted to leave after that incident, they were stopped by Ye Sheng, who offered to buy the bill. After the employees witnessed how Su Tao stood out for Chen Rui and even made the boss of this restaurant buy the bill, they were basking in a happy atmosphere despite that incident from before.

Ye Sheng was initially eating with a few friends on the second floor, but when he saw Su Tao, he immediately chose to eat with Su Tao instead.

Not all friends are the same, and Ye Sheng knew that those friends of his on the second floor were good-for-nothing. The moment he’s in trouble, those people will immediately turn their backs on him without any hesitation. However, Su Tao wasn’t the same as he was skilled. Aside from his medical skills, he also had a decent relationship with several prominent families. Acquainted with Su Tao, he wouldn’t have to be worried about getting used or being schemed.

Taking a few grilled steak and oysters, Ye Sheng placed them on the table and smiled, “Why don’t you have some? These are beneficial for men.”

“It’s good. I’ve eaten pretty full myself.” Su Tao smiled as he shook his head.

As Ye Sheng gobbled down the steak, he still distributed some oysters to Su Tao’s plate.

“You don’t have to be courteous with me. The moment I view you as a friend, I can share anything I have aside from my wife.”

That’s what Su Tao likes about Ye Sheng. When a person lacks something, they will be interested in what they’re lacking. Ye Sheng is a straightforward person, while Su Tao is a scheming person, and this is also the reason why Su Tao was willing to make friends with Ye Sheng.

After all, he definitely can’t do what Ye Sheng had done, making friends with the person who had beaten him up.

As Ye sheng ate his food, he shared about how he was left alone in the desert without any food and water. He was so miserable to the point that he even treated cactus as a delicacy.

On the other hand, Su Tao listened to the story silently.

Children of prominent families aren’t the same as what everyone had imagined them to be. To nurture their personality, their families would often toss them into a difficult situation to temper them, especially the Ye Family with their heir.

“It has been a long time since I’m so happy. When we’re done eating, let me treat everyone to karaoke!” Ye Sheng smiled as he suggested.

Su Tao is a good listener as he made Ye Sheng happy by listening to how the latter boasted his past.

“Let me ask everyone!” Su Tao smiled as he went to look for Ling Yu.

When the employees heard that they’re going to karaoke after the buffet, they immediately cheered.

The room inside the karaoke was luxurious, and they went into the largest room, which Ye Sheng took the start by picking a song. Although his singing wasn’t especially outstanding, he had done his best that left everyone’s blood to boil, creating a good atmosphere.

As Su Tao rarely sings, he sat in a corner as he watched his employees enjoying themselves.

Roughly half an hour later, the door was opened as a graceful woman entered. She wore a yellow sleeveless shirt that faintly revealed her exquisite collarbones along with a short skirt. Her hair was tied together and she had a diamond necklace hanging from her neck.

“Big sister, what are you doing here?” Ye Sheng smiled as he went over.

Glancing at Su Tao on the couch, Ye Ling replied faintly, “I wish to relax a little. What’s the matter? You don’t welcome me?”

“How would I?” Ye Sheng replied as he knew that her elder sister came because of Su Tao.

Ye Sheng immediately went to pick a song for his elder sister and added it to the queue.

When Ye Ling’s song played, she walked onto the stage and onto the mic as she started swaying her body. What accompanied was her beautiful sound, akin to an oracle singing. Her voice instantly left everyone silent as they sank into her voice.

The song was Vivid Star Under Sunlight.

“As the cozy sunlight crawls through the window along with a faint coffee scent, you’re beside me all of a sudden. Your smile was bright like a star, flipping through the next page of a storybook. You said that if the wind tears, the wind will try them...”

This is a song with a story behind it, and as Ye Ling sang it, it sounded as if she was telling a story about her first love.

Even Su Tao was instantly attracted by the song.

At the same time, he was startled inwardly as he started to wonder if she was trying to seduce him?

Correction, it should be seducing every single man in the room.

It wasn’t enough when Ye Ling finished her song. It felt as if the music was still reverberating in the air.

Walking over to Su Tao, she took a bottle of beer and started to gulp it down in mouthfuls.

Su Tao’s gaze fell on her neck as he watched her throat moving and sighed inwardly before he reminded her, “This beer is mine, and I even drank half of it.”

Ye Ling was briefly stunned as she gave a complicated look at the bottle before she smiled, “Even I don’t mind drinking yours. Do you?”

“Forget it, you can have it instead. I’ll get a new bottle!” Su Tao sighed as he shrugged.

Looking at Su Tao’s attitude, Su Tao was teased as he laughed, “It’s the first time I’m being despised by a man.”

If it was another man instead, he will probably rejoice upon seeing Ye Ling drinking his saliva.

“It’s not despising, but hygiene!” Su Tao emphasised as he looked at Ye Ling seriously.

Ye Ling smiled, “Alright, oh noble divine physician, may I ask if I have any contagious diseases to leave you so worried about me drinking from your bottle?”

After a brief pondering, Su Tao spoke out with a serious expression, “The lips of beauty are poisonous, and I’m afraid to have indirect contact with it.”

Ye Ling never expected that Su Tao would joke around with her as she chuckled, “I see, then I’ll not poison you then.”

When Ye Sheng saw how his elder sister chatted so happily with Su Tao, he was somewhat surprised. He understands his elder sister well. She generally wouldn’t turn up in this sort of environment, nor will she take the initiative to get close with a man. But looking at this scene, his heart shivered.

Big sister, you wouldn’t have fallen for him, right?

Ye Sheng can consider Su Tao as a friend or brother, but he felt that the latter was too unreliable as his brother-in-law. Not only does Su Tao have an unclear relationship with Shui Junzhuo, but he’s also close to Ni Jingqiu. His sister has always been a smart person, so why did she jump into this mess?

“I wish to discuss something with you!” Ling Yu whispered in Su Tao’s ears.

“Go ahead!” Su Tao’s heart trembled when he caught onto the fragrance that blew out from Ye Ling’s mouth.

“I wish to engage the Three Flavour Hall in a contract, to become my family’s medical consultant team.” Ye Ling spoke out as she added, “You can ask for any price you want.”

“This is good!” Su Tao smiled as he continued, “For the treatment fees, we’ll calculate it by the number of times we provide our service.”

“But I have a request. It has to be exclusive. After signing the contract with us, you’re not allowed to sign a similar contract with other families.” Ye Ling smiled.

“Reason?” Su Tao asked with his brows knitted.

“The moment you come in contact with the core members of my family, you will definitely be involved in some secrets.” Ye Ling spoke out solemnly as she continued, “So we have to ensure that the secrets won’t be revealed.”
