Chen Fu's face turned awkward, his hand frozen in mid-air as he forced a hideous smile and said, "I was a bit presumptuous before, but during our university days, we had a pretty good relationship..."

"A good relationship during university? Ha, that must have been eight years ago, right?" Ling Feng casually said, while wrapping his arms around Chu Ziling's waist, "My dear Ziling once mentioned that during university many classmates constantly harassed her. Even after graduating there were quite a few. You're not included in that group, are you?"

Chen Fu's face flushed red: "That... Of course not... I..."

"It had better not be you!" Ling Feng glanced apathetically at Chen Fu and said, "I'm rather petty and I never show mercy to those who covet my wife, understand?"

As he spoke, Ling Feng's presence suddenly emitted a powerful aura. How could Chen Fu, just an ordinary person, withstand the pressure from Ling Feng?

"Yes, of course, I don't have such thoughts!" Chen Fu said instinctively, his eyes filled with fear.

Who exactly was this young man, and why did he exude such a fearsome aura? Could it be that he was from a prestigious family? Could it be that Chu Ziling had really been taken care of?

Even if that were the case, Chen Fu didn't dare to show a shred of disdain or contempt in his eyes, because the impression that Ling Feng was invincible had already planted itself in his heart.

Ling Feng was at a loss for words himself. He didn't want to exert mental pressure on an ordinary person, but this was the simplest, most direct, and most violent method!

"It's almost time, let's go in!" Chen Fu subconsciously stayed half a step behind Ling Feng and Chu Ziling, his tone uncontrollably tinged with a trace of respect.

"Not bad, it seems choosing you to be the shield was really the right decision!" Chu Ziling, holding Ling Feng's hand, said gently into his ear: "Looks like you're quite experienced!"

Ling Feng coughed lightly: "Don't go too far, we're just mutually benefiting from each other!"

Chu Ziling laughed heartily, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and walked briskly into the banquet hall with her arm in Ling Feng's.

Inside the banquet hall, four tables were already full of people. As soon as Chu Ziling and Ling Feng walked in, the previously noisy hall instantly quieted down.

Chu Ziling was stunningly beautiful and had an extraordinary presence, while Ling Feng was imposing without the need for anger, bursting with vitality! Together, they looked like a match made in heaven and instantly became the center of attention for everyone there.

"What's going on with them..." One of the men showed a hint of confusion: "That's Chu Ziling, right? She's even more beautiful than she was in college, almost unrecognizable!"

"My God, Chu Ziling, my goddess! Is that her boyfriend next to her?" Another man said in a low voice, his tone filled with disappointment. Although he knew he had no chance with the goddess, seeing her with someone made his heart sink.

And among the women, there was envy mixed with jealousy! Chu Ziling had already been breathtaking in her college days, but who would have thought that even after eight years, far from becoming dispirited or worn, she had become even more radiant! Looking at her boyfriend, in terms of temperament and appearance, he was obviously not just any ordinary man.

The gap between people, why is it so huge! A tinge of sourness rose in the hearts of those female classmates as they saw the infatuated look in their own partners' eyes, and they couldn't help pinching them hard below the table: "Stop ogling, aren't you satisfied with what you've got? Do you think she would take a second glance at you?"

At the main table, one of the men's eyes flashed with admiration, murmuring softly, "What a breathtaking beauty, truly a woman that belongs in the heavens above. Nice, very nice! It seems attending this dull class reunion was worthwhile after all!"

"Xiao Rou, who is this woman? Is she also one of your classmates?" the man asked his female companion.

A hint of jealousy flashed in Xiao Rou's eyes, "She is Chu Ziling, acting high and mighty just because she's a bit pretty. During college, she never even noticed us, and now heaven knows which wealthy guy she's clinging to, look at the flirtatious air about her!"

Hearing Xiao Rou's jealous words, the man didn't care, in his eyes, Chu Ziling was someone from a whole different world compared to all the women present! No one here was qualified to be her rival.

"Chu Ziling, what a good name! Truly, a good name!" the man commented indifferently.

"Section Chief Zhao, you're not interested in her, are you?" Xiao Rou's eyes darted around in panic as she spoke.

Zhao Ke smiled, "A beauty graced with elegance, a refined gentleman would desire such a companion! To miss out on such a divine beauty would be to invite divine punishment!"

Xiao Rou bit her lip, knowing her male companion was quite lecherous; otherwise, he wouldn't have done the deed with her in the office just five days after she started working!

However, Xiao Rou was very clear that as Section Chief Zhao's mistress, she had no right to be jealous!

"Teacher Qin!" Chu Ziling glanced around and then spotted a woman in her forties, smiling as she greeted her, "Teacher Qin, it's been a long time, you look even younger than you did eight years ago!"

Teacher Qin laughed, "You flatterer, I've gotten old, and with age, I can only continue to age. How could I possibly become younger! But you, you seem even more radiant than you were eight years ago, and it looks like... your life is going very well too, I indeed made no mistake about you."

Chu Ziling sat next to Teacher Qin, took her hand, and spoke affectionately, "Not at all, Teacher Qin, with such a youthful spirit, naturally, your face glows with vitality."

Ling Feng was surprised, as this was the first time he had seen such a genuine smile from Chu Ziling. With this kind of smile, she was much more naturally adorable and beautiful than when she tried too hard to act cute before!

"Is this your boyfriend?" Teacher Qin glanced at Ling Feng and quietly asked Chu Ziling.

Chu Ziling blushed and nodded shyly. Her bashful look was as authentic as it could be!

Ling Feng shivered, women truly were born actresses! In terms of acting skill, Chu Ziling was in no way inferior to those crowned as Best Actress!

Teacher Qin looked at Ling Feng with a curious gaze, figuring that for someone to win the heart of the most beautiful flower in the history of their school, this young man couldn't be ordinary!

The reunion began as everyone had arrived and it was time. Chen Fu took the lead in hosting this gathering of classmates.

As usual, Chen Fu talked about reminiscing school days, shared visions of the future, and finally hoped that everyone would continue to support and help each other in the future, not to lose the camaraderie of being fellow classmates.

Only this time, Chen Fu's mood was a bit downcast. However, seeing Ling Feng by Chu Ziling's side, everyone understood and empathized!
