The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

Zheng Zaien was distracted for a moment before he realized that Chen Yan, who had been sitting obediently next to him, had stood up at some point and had raised his feet, looking as if he wanted to walk towards the direction of the woman in front of him.

Zheng Zaien dangerously grabbed Chen Yan and whispered in his ear, "Are you crazy? Everyone present here is either rich or noble. How dare you approach them without hesitation? Aren't you afraid of being crushed to death with just a little finger?"

Chen Yan, who was very active, actually listened to Zheng Zaien's words this time. He looked at Xu Yiyu in front of him who exuded a sense of ease and comfort, and reluctantly stopped.

"She's alone now anyway, so it won't hurt to approach her and chat with her."

Chen Yan retorted somewhat unconvincedly, and narcissistically touched his handsome face which had been praised by many fans.

"If I can get a golden leg through this, I will be rich!"

Zheng Zaien was a little disappointed with Chen Yan. He pinched the back of Chen Yan's hand hard in the dark and semi-forced him to sit back in his original seat.

"You were looking down before and didn't see that this woman just came here with a man! And the two of them are obviously lovers or couples with a good relationship. They didn't come alone at all!"

Zheng Zaien pointed at Lu Sanshi who was picking up food at a distant table and explained quickly.

"Look at that man's aura. How many times do you think you can withstand the blows of a 80-pound actress with your tiny body?!"

Chen Yan looked in the direction of Zheng Zaien's finger with a puzzled look on his face. When his eyes fell on Lu Sanshi, a tall man wearing a high-end suit, he was obviously stunned for a few seconds.

"You know what, that woman has a pretty good eye for male companions. His body proportions are comparable to those of male models."

Seeing that his unreasonably careless teammate still had the mind to comment on other people's appearance, Zheng Zaien was immediately furious. He did not answer Chen Yan's words immediately, but just focused on eating the food he had just taken from the dining table without saying another word.

Seeing that the captain no longer paid attention to him, Chen Yan shrugged indifferently. However, he still listened to Zheng Zaien's words for once, and did not go up to Xu Yiyu to talk to him.

The woman's male companion didn't look thin, so he'd better not mess with her. After all, one more woman or one less backup wouldn't make much difference to him, and he didn't have to know Xu Yiyu.

Chen Yan had just turned his eyes away when Xu Yiyu, who had been keeping his head down, raised his head.

However, she did not look in the direction of Zheng Zaien and Chen Yan, but raised her eyes to look at Feng Can who had just sat down at the table.

When Feng Can saw the lady in the champagne-colored brocade cheongsam looking up at him, he did not feel unnatural. He just smiled apologetically at Xu Yiyu and did not take the initiative to talk to her.

In fact, before he came to the dinner, he went to see his master Meng Lingqi, whom he had not seen for a long time.

When Meng Lingqi saw his former proud disciple standing in front of him with a weathered face, he felt an indescribable complex feeling in his heart and didn't know what to say to him for a moment.

"Master, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you in good health?"

Although his stone has remained in the hands of the four major families, he has not made a public appearance in the imperial capital for a long time. Few people know that he has been living a secluded life like an ordinary person, but he is sent invitations to the auction every year as per convention.

Feng Can's eyes were clear and bright, and Meng Lingqi could see that the knot in the heart of his favorite disciple should have been untied. He smiled and reached out to pat Feng Can's shoulder gently.

"Very good, very good, what can I do wrong, old man?"

Meng Lingqi was able to meet Feng Can face to face at the auction, and the dark clouds that had been shrouding his heart for a long time seemed to dissipate in an instant, leaving only deep relief and joy.

"Xiaojiu, I am happier than anything else to see you let go of your worries."

Seeing that Meng Lingqi, who had done him a great favor, was so moved, Feng Can even called out the nickname that his fellow disciples had given him when he was still their disciple, and his eyes felt slightly warm.

"Master, Xiaojiu will never let you down again."

Feng Can solemnly performed the great ceremony between master and disciple to Meng Lingqi, and responded with a sob in his throat.

Meng Lingqi knew that his favorite disciple had come to see him for more than just a casual chat and reminiscing, so he immediately raised his hand to help Feng Can up and told him what he wanted to know.

"The person who took the photo of your stone today has already gone to the dinner. You should go meet her."

Meng Lingqi gestured with his eyes towards the dinner scene outside Taishan Pavilion and smiled with satisfaction.

"That young friend Xu is wearing a champagne gold brocade cheongsam. When you see her in person, you will know who she is."

Feng Can thought about what his master had said a moment ago, and occasionally casually glanced at Xu Yiyu, who was sitting a few seats away from him. He finally understood what his master meant.

The moment he saw her, he knew that she must be the one who could help him untie the knot in his heart.

"Master Feng, you have been looking at me for a long time."

Xu Yiyu put down his phone and took the initiative to talk to Feng Can who was sitting diagonally opposite him, with a gentle and friendly smile on his face.

"If my fiancé saw this, he might misunderstand me."

Although her words were teasing, she actually did not mean to make fun of or look down on Feng Can at all. She knew the boundaries and measure just right.

"Miss Xu has good eyesight. She can actually recognize me."

Feng Can took off his mask, revealing his slightly weathered hair and face, and responded with a smile.

In the years since he became Meng Lingqi's apprentice, he has begun to age and look haggard at a speed that is almost visible to the naked eye. Now almost no one remembers that he was once a handsome young man who was favored by everyone and famous in the imperial capital.

"Master Feng, your words are too serious. The carving skill of the knife in your hand is unparalleled, not to mention that it has also integrated the seal carving skills passed down to you by Master Meng. It can be said that it is well-known throughout China. It is difficult to meet you on weekdays, so I naturally have to do some homework in advance."

Hearing Xu Yiyu mention his mentor, Feng Can's eyes softened a lot. He now understood better why his mentor Meng Lingqi valued Miss Xu.

Lu Sanshi had just finished taking the first two plates of food and walked back to the dining table. Seeing that his baby seemed to be chatting with the master-like uncle, he was tactful enough not to interrupt. He just put down the plate in his hand quietly and sat back next to Xu Yiyu silently.

Baobao seemed to have mentioned this master to him before. If he remembered correctly, this person seemed to be the youngest disciple of Master Meng.

When Feng Can saw that there was another person beside Xu Yiyu, she calmly raised her hands and held the hands that the man stretched out to her, and immediately understood the relationship between the two people.

At that moment, he didn't bother her any further. He nodded politely to Xu Yiyu, stood up and walked towards the dining table which was already filled with food.

We still need to leave enough space for young people. He should stop being a light bulb and find a way to fill his own stomach first.
