"Offended you?"

Brother Long laughed without restraint. He wasn't even afraid of that old fox Zhao Pengfei, so why would he be afraid of a woman?

No matter how powerful she is in the business world, whether she's a strong, domineering female CEO or not, none of that matters to him!

Thinking of this, Brother Long waved his hand, "Let them in. I don't believe a woman can take down this place!"

With Brother Long's permission, the underlings at the door let Chu Lan and Zhao Jing in.

The stench of blood that wafted through the underground passage made Zhao Jing feel dizzy. Having grown up in a family environment rife with intrigue and backstabbing, she thought herself to be knowledgeable and worldly-wise, but now she realized she hadn't seen enough.

"President Chu, will Xu Tian be alright?" Zhao Jing asked worriedly, covering her nose.

Chu Lan merely frowned slightly, without showing much emotion.

When they came in, Brother Long took a closer look and saw that there were only two women. Moreover, the legendary Chu Lan was indeed stunningly beautiful and had a great figure. He rubbed his hands together excitedly.

"Two beautiful ladies, what brings you here?"

Snapped!

Chu Lan slapped him across the face.

Brother Long paused for a moment, then realized what was happening and was about to get angry.

"You dare to arrest my people with whatever you're talking about!" Chu Lan said coldly.

Zhao Jing watched in horror. Her idol was indeed her idol. As a woman herself, and in this situation, she dared not do the same.

"Damn it, you dare to lay a hand on me on my turf? Don't think I won't do anything to you just because you're a woman!"

As he spoke, Brother Long rushed over. Today, he was going to take Chu Lan down first and then deal with everything else.

Before he could get close, Chu Lan threw a document out of her bag and hit him in the face.

With this second blow, Brother Long's pride suffered another heavy setback.

"Open your dog eyes and see clearly before you speak!" Chu Lan said sternly.

Brother Long was momentarily intimidated by her tough attitude. He obediently glanced at her, but his expression quickly changed. When he looked up again, he was terrified, as if he had seen a ghost.

"You...who are you?"

Chu Lan remained calm. "Release them or not?"

"Let it go!"

As he spoke, Brother Long personally untied the ropes binding Xu Tian.

Xu Tian stretched his limbs and looked at Chu Lan with a smile, "You really didn't disappoint me!"

Chu Lan sighed, "Shall we go?"

Xu Tian nodded and followed behind Chu Lan. The image of a strong woman and a weak man was vividly displayed at this moment, while Brother Long was already terrified and watched helplessly as the group swaggered away.

"Can you get home by yourself?"

After leaving, Chu Lan looked at Zhao Jing.

Zhao Jing nodded admiringly, "President Chu, you were so awesome today!"

Then she looked at Xu Tian with disdain, "Who says women are inferior to men? You should learn from them!"

After saying that, Zhao Jing hailed a taxi, turned around, and went back to the bar to get her own car.

Xu Tian looked at Chu Lan with a dejected expression, "You stole all the limelight today!"

Chu Lan couldn't help but laugh, "Young Master, please get in the car."

Once in the car, Xu Tian was still very curious about what Chu Lan had shown him that could make him so terrified.

Chu Lan parted her lips slightly.

"If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place; it's just some shady stuff."

Xu Tian stared at her, lost in thought. This woman was truly a master of all trades, capable of handling both formal and informal occasions, and even managing to sweep away criminal gangs. What else did she possess that he didn't know about?

"Would you like to come to my house for a bit?" Chu Lan suddenly asked.

Xu Tian subconsciously agreed. They had known each other for so long, but he had never been to her house before. He wanted to see what the home of a woman like Chu Lan was like.

Soon, Chu Lan drove to the suburban villa. Security was extremely tight there, with security guards patrolling every fifty meters. They were well-trained, looked burly, and made him feel very safe.

"The houses here must be expensive, right?" Xu Tian asked.

Chu Lan smiled slightly, "You like it? Pick any set you like."

Xu Tian was taken aback. "You're going to give me a house? That's not a good idea..."

Chu Lan stopped the car and turned to look at him. "No, this is a property under the Xu Group. To be precise, everything here belongs to you."

Xu Tian opened his mouth in surprise. How could he not have thought of that? The Xu Group's businesses are spread throughout Jiangcheng, and they are involved in almost every industry, so Chu Lan's words were not an exaggeration at all.

"Come in, change your shoes, I'm a germaphobe."

Xu Tian changed into slippers and looked around the villa.

The sunken living room and open kitchen are a sight to behold. The well-placed no-main-light design blends seamlessly with the unique design, and it must be said that Chu Lan has excellent taste!

"Would you like a drink?" Chu Lan asked, opening the liquor cabinet.

Xu Tian nodded. Chu Lan opened a bottle of red wine, poured it into a decanter, and then took out two wine glasses.

"I haven't asked you yet, what did you go back to Beijing for?" Xu Tian asked.

Chu Lan looked at Xu Tian and didn't know how to start the conversation.

If she came up to him and said that his mother had taken a liking to him and wanted them to be together, she was afraid it would scare Xu Tian.

Although this is what she has always longed for, she is now unsure of Xu Tian's feelings.

He used to think that Xu Tian had Su Nuannuan by his side, and that Su Nuannuan was especially valued by Xu Tian, ​​but today Zhao Jing has appeared as well.

Xu Tian rushed in to save the damsel in distress without any certainty of success, completely disregarding his own safety. Judging from this, it seems that Xu Tian also has feelings for Zhao Jing.

Thinking of this, a trace of melancholy flashed across Chu Lan's face. Whether before or after the divorce, Xu Tian had always had more women around him, and she didn't know if she had any chance...

"What's wrong? Is there a problem at the company?"

Xu Tian looked at her with concern.

Chu Lan smiled and shook his head, "Returning to the capital is just a routine work report."

"That's good. I thought something had happened." Xu Tian was relieved.

Chu Lan recalled what Xu's mother had told her, and looked at Xu Tian hesitantly. She didn't know if doing this would offend Xu Tian.

"By the way, my birthday is on the 5th of next month. I'm thinking of having a simple celebration, what do you think?"

Xu Tian looked at her with surprise and delight, "Your birthday is next month? You should have told me sooner! I should have prepared a big gift to thank you properly!"

Chu Lan poured the red wine from the decanter into a glass and then took a sip.

“I’ve never really celebrated my birthday before.”

"Then we'll have to go all out this time. Women should live a refined life!" Xu Tian said with a smile.

Chu Lan was slightly taken aback. As expected, like mother, like son. The mother and son said exactly the same thing.

Xu Tian then said, "Besides, you earn so much money and support so many people every year, you should treat yourself!"

Chu Lan nodded. "How about we hold it at the Yellow Crane Teahouse?"

Yellow Crane Teahouse?

Xu Tian's heart skipped a beat as he recalled how he had been inexplicably invited into the Yellow Crane Teahouse as a distinguished guest.

Chu Lan frowned, inwardly realizing something was wrong. Just as she was thinking of how to change the subject, Xu Tian had already come closer.

Standing close by, Xu Tian looked at Chu Lan with a probing gaze.

Chu Lan's breathing quickened, her mind went blank, and before Xu Tian could question her, she inexplicably sealed his mouth with her own lips.
