<h4>Chapter 1309: Chapter 1617: Liu Haicheng</h4>


    Nanrong Wanqing’s beautiful eyes shed with a hint of brightness, and she looked at Ling Chen with a faint smile, asking, "Are you asking me out?"


    Hearing this, Ling Chen’s old face flushed slightly, and he coughed lightly, smiling sheepishly, "Think of it as me asking you out."


    "So hesitant? In that case, I’d better note out."


    "No, no, no, that’s not what I meant." Ling Chen hurriedly corrected, "I want to ask you out, so please show me mercy and give me some face. Okay?"


    "Okay." Nanrong Wanqing pursed her lips and smiled, "Actually, there are a lot of people pursuing me right now, so I need a boyfriend to help me deter them. I heard you’re now the chairman of Falcon Private Security Company, that title should scare quite a few people."


    "Alright." Ling Chen nodded, "If anyone dares to pursue you again, just mention my name."


    As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps could be hearding from the side. Turning to look, they saw a handsome and dashing young man in a designer suit approaching, followed by two burly bodyguards wearing dark sunsses, looking imposing.


    The young man wore a smile, with his eyes seeming to only hold Nanrong Wanqing, ignoring everything else around, including Ling Chen.


    "Wanqing, why are you in such a hurry? Didn’t I say I’d wait for you at the courthouse entrance?" the young man said in a gentle tone.


    "Mr. Liu, I’m sorry, but I’ve already arranged to have dinner here with my boyfriend. Besides, I didn’t agree to your date yesterday." Nanrong Wanqing replied indifferently, ncing at the young man before turning her attention back to Ling Chen, "Ling Chen, let me introduce you, this is Liu Haicheng, who just returned from studying abroad. He’s the vice president of Pacific Shipping Company, with a wealth far surpassing mine. Hongyu Group is just a well-known enterprise in Huaxia, but Pacific Shipping Company is a Fortune 500pany, much more famous than our Hongyu Group."


    "Oh! So Mr. Liu is an overseas returnee." Ling Chen nced at Liu Haicheng, smilingly reaching out his hand.


    However, Liu Haicheng had no intention of shaking hands, not even looking him in the eye, with his gaze constantly fixed on Nanrong Wanqing.


    "Wanqing, even if you want to refuse my invitation, there’s no need to find such ame excuse. This kind of person isn’t even fit to carry my shoes, how could someone of your standards be interested in someone like him?"


    Hearing this, the corners of Ling Chen’s mouth slightly curled into a smile, as he asked, "Mr. Liu, what kind of person am I?"


    "I’m talking to Wanqing, everyone else shut up." Liu Haicheng gave Ling Chen a sidelong nce, his tone contemptuous, showing no regard for him at all.


    "Wanqing, I’ve prepared the car and reserved the restaurant,e with me." As he spoke, Liu Haicheng bowed gentlemanly, making an inviting gesture.


    However, Nanrong Wanqing wasn’t moved at all, sitting calmly there. Just then, a waiter came over with dishes, cing several dishes on the table.


    "Sir, the dishes you ordered are all served, please enjoy."


    "Thank you!" After saying this, Ling Chen picked up the chopsticks, pinched a piece of lotus root sandwich, and ced it in Nanrong Wanqing’s bowl, "Try this, it should taste good."


    Nanrong Wanqing responded softly, tasting the delicacy on her own,pletely ignoring Liu Haicheng.


    Seeing Ling Chen and Nanrong Wanqing happily eating, Liu Haicheng’s face suddenly turned cold. He turned his head, giving a signal to the two bodyguards behind him. Thetter immediately understood, stepping forward to Ling Chen and grabbing him to lift him up. However, they quickly realized that no matter how much force they used, they couldn’t move Ling Chen’s body.


    Seeing this situation, the two bodyguards exchanged a nce, a hint of doubt shing in their eyes.


    Theirbined strength should exceed several hundred pounds, how could they be unable to drag a single person? At this moment, they were unwilling to ept defeat, exerting all their strength in trying to drag Ling Chen, but his body seemed rooted to the seat, unmovable.


    "Hey guys, haven’t you eaten?" Ling Chen said with a friendly smile, "Do you want to sit down together and eat something?"


    "Useless." Liu Haicheng snapped coldly, grabbing a water cup from the table, preparing to pour the water over Ling Chen’s head. Seeing his action, Ling Chen casually flicked his hand. Instantly, Liu Haicheng’s arm trembled slightly, and the cup of water directly bypassed Ling Chen, pouring over himself.


    In an instant, droplets of water slid down Liu Haicheng’s bangs, trickling down onto his tens of thousands worth of suit.


    "Oh dear!" Ling Chen eximed, wide-eyed, "Mr. Liu, how can you be so careless? I’m not depriving you of water, there’s no need to hurry."


    Liu Haicheng gritted his teeth, looking at Ling Chen with resentment, saying coldly, "Kid, you’re bold. If I don’t make you crawl out of here today, I’ll take your surname." Saying this, Liu Haicheng took out his phone and began making a call, ignoring everything around him.


    Nanrong Wanqing frowned slightly; Liu Haicheng’s actions made her quite displeased. Hearing Liu Haicheng calling for reinforcements, Nanrong Wanqing opened her mouth, preparing to stop him. However, at that moment, it seemed someone gently kicked him under the table.


    Almost instinctively, Nanrong Wanqing nced at Ling Chen across from her, seeing him shake his head, signaling her not to speak.


    At this moment, Liu Haicheng put down his phone, looking coldly at Ling Chen, "You might not know who I am, but that’s okay, I’ll soon let you know that offending me is the biggest mistake you’ve ever made."


    "Really?" Ling Chen replied indifferently with a smile, "Well, I’ve made many mistakes in my life, one more won’t matter."


    "You two!" Liu Haicheng pointed at his two bodyguards, instructing them, and they immediately retreated. Shortly after, they found the restaurant manager, and although it’s unclear what they said, the manager nodded repeatedly, quickly calling all the waiters over.


    Soon, waiters approached dining customers with apologetic smiles. After about ten minutes, all the guests in the restaurant were asked to leave, leaving only Ling Chen, Nanrong Wanqing, Liu Haicheng, and his two bodyguards in the huge restaurant.


    Seeing Ling Chen and Nanrong Wanqing unaffected at all, Liu Haicheng sneered, walking to a dining table by himself. A bodyguard immediately stepped forward, pulling a few napkins from his pocket, wiping the table spotless. The other bodyguard walked over with tea, pouring a cup and cing it in front of Liu Haicheng.


    About half an hourter, Ling Chen and Nanrong Wanqing were satisfied, having devoured all four dishespletely.


    Patting his full belly, Ling Chen nced at Liu Haicheng sitting not far away, smiling, "Mr. Liu, have your people not arrived yet?"
