After stretching, Su Bai turned his attention to the buffet area. He nudged Hua Gengchen's elbow and gestured with his hand, "I'll go get some food."

Hua Gengchen nodded and stepped aside slightly. The Hua family always started dinner at seven o'clock, and it was almost eight o'clock now; Su Bai must be hungry.

Watching Su Bai hurry towards the dining area, busily stopping here and there like a little bee, and soon carrying two full plates of food, Hua Gengchen couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile again.

Su Mo was completely captivated by Hua Gengchen's good looks and followed the two of them. When she saw Su Bai go to get food, Su Mo instinctively felt that this was a good opportunity to get closer to Hua Gengchen, so she walked over gracefully.

Hua Gengchen looked up at the person blocking his view of Su Bai and frowned slightly.

When Su Mo met Hua Gengchen's gaze, her heart trembled uncontrollably. She controlled her breathing and tried her best to present her best self, saying, "Hello, I am Su Bai's younger sister, Su Mo."

Hua Gengchen looked at the slender hand extended in front of him as if it were a chicken claw, and looked away after only a moment.

Su Mo is a beauty, after all. She has never been ignored by any man like this since she was a child, not even Hua Gengchen!

She took a step forward, slightly bowing so that her full, white breasts were facing Hua Gengchen, and extended her hand again, "Hello, I am Su Mo!" Just now, she deliberately made things difficult for Su Bai, and Hua Gengchen did not say a word to help Su Bai, so Su Mo was convinced that there was no affection between Su Bai and Hua Gengchen, and this was her chance!

Hua Gengchen frowned even more. What exactly did this troublesome two-legged human want to do? Su Bai was coming back soon. What if he saw this and misunderstood?

Thinking this, Hua Gengchen's inherent chill suddenly erupted, and Su Mo, who was directly hit, immediately felt as if a bucket of icy water had been poured over her head, making her teeth chatter from the cold.

Several guests who were close to Hua Gengchen were also affected by the cold air, and they all shivered and rubbed their arms.

"Is the air conditioner broken? I feel a bit cold!"

"Me too."

Su Bai heard the sound and looked over, immediately noticing that Hua Gengchen was acting strangely. In order to prevent Hua Gengchen from making a big fuss, he gave up the idea of ​​getting another tiramisu, picked up the two plates of food, and walked back.

Su Mo now looked at Hua Gengchen with a hint of fear in her eyes. Could she really have any designs on such a powerful man who was as cold as ice?

Su Bai returned at that moment, forcefully stepping between Su Mo and Hua Gengchen, holding a plate of food in one hand and confronting Hua Gengchen, expressing his accusation with his eyes.

Hua Gengchen arrogantly turned his head away, not wanting to talk to Su Bai. If Su Mo hadn't come to him and blocked his view of Su Bai, he wouldn't have gotten angry, so it wasn't his fault!

Su Bai looked at Hua Gengchen and told him to immediately withdraw the terrifying cold air. What if it attracted the attention of Su Shengrong and Su Yangxia?

Hua Gengchen didn't want that; Su Mo, that troublesome human-like creature, was still around! What if she started chasing after him again? He hated flies the most!

Su Bai calmly met Hua Gengchen's gaze, and within seconds Hua Gengchen was defeated, reluctantly withdrawing his imposing aura.

Hua Gengchen himself couldn't explain exactly why he compromised. In any case, whenever he met Su Bai's eyes, Hua Gengchen's heart would pound uncontrollably. This feeling was completely unfamiliar to him.

The moment Hua Gengchen withdrew the chill, Su Mo felt she could breathe normally again. She hugged her chest, trying to help her frozen body recover quickly, but her gaze remained fixed on Hua Gengchen and Su Bai.

What's so good about Su Bai?

Hua Gengchen was so cold to her, but he was very protective and indulgent towards Su Bai. Why wasn't she the one who received special treatment?

Driven by insane jealousy, Su Mo forgot her fear of Hua Gengchen. She now had only one thought: she wanted to have Hua Gengchen!

Su Bai walked in past Hua Gengchen's feet, sat down, and put down the food. Only then did she notice that Su Mo was still there. To prevent Hua Gengchen from losing control again, Su Bai reminded him, "Do you want to get frozen again?"

He was afraid of the chill emanating from Hua Gengchen, but after spending a few days with him, he seemed to have developed some immunity, which allowed him to remain calm. However, Su Mo, being a delicate young lady, was seeing Hua Gengchen like this for the first time and probably couldn't withstand it.

Su Mo glared at Su Bai, then lifted her skirt and hurriedly left.

Su Bai then sat down to enjoy the food. This lavish banquet had nothing to offer except for the food!

Hua Gengchen watched Su Bai eat happily, his throat bobbing slightly. He took out his phone and typed a message: "Would you like something to drink? I'll get it for you."

Su Bai managed to distract himself from the food and typed: "I'd like a glass of orange juice."

After reading it, Hua Gengchen nodded, stood up, and strode towards the food pick-up area.

Hua Gengchen naturally attracted a lot of attention along the way, but his aura of "keep away" was too terrifying. Even if they wanted to, they didn't have the courage.

Hua Gengchen wandered around the food pick-up area. He had initially felt a bit hungry watching Su Bai eat, but now he had completely lost his appetite. He casually grabbed two glasses of orange juice and headed towards Su Bai.

After receiving the orange juice, Su Bai nodded his thanks to Hua Gengchen. He wasn't surprised at all that Hua Gengchen hadn't brought back any food, because Hua Gengchen's pickiness about food had reached an outrageous level.

I won't eat food that has any trace of scallions, ginger, or garlic in it, but I also won't eat anything that doesn't have scallions, ginger, or garlic in it; I won't eat meat that wasn't slaughtered that day; I won't eat vegetables that weren't picked that day; I won't eat anything that can be peeled unless it's peeled; I generally don't eat beans; I don't eat anything that's too spicy; I don't eat anything that's too sweet; I don't eat anything that's too sour; I don't eat anything that's sweet and sour... In short, a whole bunch of things.

What Su Bai found most objectionable was that they wouldn't eat anything that wasn't slaughtered or picked on the same day. Su Bai was puzzled as to how Hua Gengchen knew this, since they all taste pretty much the same after being cooked.

Out of sheer curiosity, Su Bai even asked Hua Jueming, who replied with absolute certainty, "Master will definitely know!" At that moment, Su Bai looked as if he had seen a ghost.

How could Hua Gengchen possibly know this? Does he possess some kind of supernatural ability that allows him to see through all lies?

That said, Su Bai took the orange juice and took a sip. He had been eating it a little too quickly and almost choked.

Hua Gengchen wanted to reach out and pat Su Bai's back, but just as he was about to reach out, he turned his head and picked up the orange juice on the low table. He took a small sip, but his eyes remained fixed on Su Bai.

With the water, Su Bai quickly came back to life, put down the orange juice and continued to fight against the food on the plate, while Hua Gengchen withdrew his gaze, put down the cup with some disgust, this orange juice was obviously not squeezed from freshly picked oranges!

Let's just keep watching Su Bai eat! At least it'll distract him.

Just then, the noisy hall suddenly fell silent again, just like when Hua Gengchen and Su Bai arrived.

Su Bai, with a shrimp in his mouth, craned his neck to look. As far as he knew, there shouldn't be anyone with a higher status than Hua Gengchen who hadn't appeared yet. So who could be coming now?

The man entered the Su family gate under Su Yangxia's greeting. As soon as he entered, he attracted everyone's attention. Unlike Hua Gengchen, almost everyone present knew his identity, so they were very shocked that he could come to the Su family!

Su Bai was some distance from the gate. After seeing the person's face clearly, he paused in his chewing, his face filled with disbelief!

Why is he here?

He had just received a message from the Wishful Thinking Studio yesterday: Su Chengjun hadn't seen Li Chengtian! And according to his memories from his previous life, Li Chengtian shouldn't have contacted the Su family until next year, so why was he here now...?

Su Bai frowned in distress. Did his decision to marry after being reborn have caused so many butterfly effects?

Can he still trust his memory about many things?

Su Bai was no longer sure!

Hua Gengchen noticed Su Bai's sudden change in expression, his eyes darkened, and he made a deep impression on the person who had been so at ease among the crowd!

He must thoroughly investigate the person who could cause such a drastic change in Su Bai's expression!

Just then, Su Chengjun pushed aside those who were fawning over Li Chengtian and came to Li Chengtian's side.

When Su Bai saw Su Chengjun talking eloquently in front of Li Chengtian, he immediately understood that Li Chengtian's sudden appearance at the Su family must have been his and Su Mo's doing!

He might have been deceived by Su Chengjun!

Su Chengjun must have taken precautions from the beginning, which is why he couldn't find anything out.

Just as he was thinking this, Young Master Gu rushed over, greeted Li Chengtian, and solemnly introduced Su Chengjun and Su Yangxia to Li Chengtian.

No wonder he had people follow Su Chengjun and Su Mo for days without getting any useful information. It turns out that Su Chengjun and Su Mo had already secretly agreed to take advantage of the chaos on Su Shengrong's birthday.

Su Bai had to admit that Su Chengjun's approach was indeed prudent!

Even he was fooled. Even if Su Yangxia found out what Su Chengjun had done, Su Chengjun could use Su Shengrong's birthday banquet as an excuse until Su Chengjun got things done!

It's just unknown whether Su Chengjun has the ability to win over Li Chengtian!

Su Bai felt that his trip had not been in vain, as he was able to keep track of the Su family's recent activities and learn such important news.

Hua Gengchen felt a surge of irritation as he watched Su Bai's increasingly intense attention on Li Chengtian, her unwavering gaze. Su Bai had never looked at him like that before!

Why does someone who is less handsome and less fit than him get so much attention from Su Bai?

Hua Gengchen felt he couldn't wait even a second longer; he needed to know immediately who this person was.

Taking out his phone, Hua Gengchen took a picture of Li Chengtian and sent it to Hua Jueming, ordering him to investigate all of Li Chengtian's information within half an hour, including things like when he stopped wearing diapers and when he wet the bed!
