Cen Binbin acted unusually.
After learning that Xu Yaoyao had a boyfriend, he not only showed no signs of dejection but was also extremely proactive.
Qin Ze and the others were initially confused, but later, everyone understood.
Silence was more eloquent than words.
In the presence of Cen Binbin and his companions, what was Chen Jinzhao, a mere security guard, worth?
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that Cen Binbin could crush Chen Jinzhao with a mere flick of his finger. Ignoring him was the best course of action, as they were from two different worlds.
As soon as the words fell.
The lights in the private room suddenly went out, plunging the space into darkness.
Immediately after.
Candlelight flickered to life, and Cen Binbin produced a bouquet of roses from a blind spot, walking towards Xu Yaoyao with deep affection. He firmly believed that any girl would find it difficult to resist a romantic declaration.
"Yaoyao, I've liked you for a long time."
"I'm not forcing you to agree right now, I just hope you'll give me a chance. I believe that in time, you will surely discover my sincerity and accept me."
With that said.
Cen Binbin knelt on one knee and presented the bouquet of roses to Xu Yaoyao.
Qin Ze and the others also joined in the teasing.
"Say yes! Say yes! Say yes!"
Xu Yaoyao was indifferent to Cen Binbin. The only reason she agreed to attend this dinner was to prevent Cen Binbin from staging a more outrageous confession ceremony on campus, which would have embarrassed her.
Before she could speak, Chen Jinzhao patted her hand, signaling her to relax.
Xu Yaoyao cast a grateful look at Chen Jinzhao.
Without a word, Chen Jinzhao took the bouquet of roses from Cen Binbin, astonishing everyone. Cen Binbin hesitated to speak, but Chen Jinzhao presented the bouquet to Xu Yaoyao, saying, "Yaoyao, these roses are indeed quite beautiful. Why don't you accept them? Consider them a gift from me. Would that be acceptable?"
"Thank you, Jinzhao Gege, I'll consider these flowers your gift." Xu Yaoyao smiled sweetly and happily accepted the flowers.
Chen Jinzhao turned to Cen Binbin and said, "Thank you, classmate. My girlfriend really likes them."
Cen Binbin: "..."
Qin Ze and the others were dumbfounded. What kind of maneuver was that?
Cen Binbin, who considered himself to have a good temper, could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. His face darkened as he stared at Chen Jinzhao. His body trembled slightly, and he almost lost control.
Xu Yaoyao knew it was time for her to step forward. Holding the flowers, she said to Cen Binbin, "Cen classmate, your flowers are lovely, but I prefer the ones my boyfriend gives me. Feelings cannot be forced. I hope you can find a more suitable partner in the future. If there's nothing else, my boyfriend and I will be leaving now."
"Wait!" Cen Binbin's anger flared.
He refused to believe he would lose to a security guard, considering it an utter joke.
Everyone looked at Cen Binbin. He stood up from the ground, his cold eyes sweeping over Chen Jinzhao before saying to Xu Yaoyao, "Can you give me a reason? In what way am I inferior to this security guard? If you can tell me, I absolutely won't stop you."
If it weren't for his consideration for Xu Hanchen, Cen Binbin would have already lost his temper at Xu Yaoyao.
Hearing Cen Binbin's impotent rage, Xu Yaoyao chuckled. Cen Binbin frowned and asked, "Yaoyao, what are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing at your arrogance and ignorance. Your current status is entirely due to your good family background. Without it, you wouldn't even be comparable to Jinzhao Gege's little finger. Of course, even now, you're not comparable to Jinzhao Gege's little finger. If we only talk about combat strength, Jinzhao Gege could defeat ten of you." Xu Yaoyao was very confident in Chen Jinzhao's combat prowess; otherwise, he wouldn't be the captain of the Candle Dragon special forces.
How could the insignificant Cen Binbin be Chen Jinzhao's opponent?
Cen Binbin originally wanted to retort, but then he considered that he might indeed not be a match for this security guard, as he had never seriously learned such skills since childhood.
Qin Ze then whispered a few words in his ear, and Cen Binbin's face instantly broke into a smile.
He turned to Xu Yaoyao and said with a smile, "We are all students. A wise man uses his words, not his fists. Besides, there are very few opportunities for me to act personally. As long as my brother can fight, that's enough. I forgot to tell you, I have another brother who is on his way and should be here soon."
"When he arrives, he can spar with this gentleman."
Xu Yaoyao's brow furrowed. She could clearly see the confidence on Cen Binbin's face. Could it be that the brother he mentioned was truly formidable?
But soon, Xu Yaoyao relaxed.
No matter how fierce he was, he wouldn't be even one percent as formidable as Chen Jinzhao.
Chen Jinzhao sighed, "Why go through all this? If I can't control my strength, I might seriously injure your brother. If anything happens to him, you won't be able to bear the responsibility."
Qin Ze chuckled.
He taunted, "Brother, please stop joking. Our brother is extremely fierce. At just 19 years old, he has caught the eye of a high-ranking military official and is about to be selected..."
"Qin Ze, be careful with your words!" Cen Binbin coughed.
As far as they knew, there was a high probability that the brother would be selected for a top-tier special forces unit. If successful, he would undoubtedly soar to great heights and become a sharp blade in the military.
As for that top-tier special forces unit, it was a secret within secrets, something Chen Jinzhao, a mere security guard, should not hear.
Chen Jinzhao's heart stirred. Could it be such a coincidence?
At this moment.
The door to the private room was pushed open from the outside, and a burly man, about 1.85 to 1.9 meters tall, strode in. His tank top accentuated his powerfully sculpted muscles, and just standing there exuded an aura of immense pressure.
Upon seeing this person, Cen Binbin immediately got up with a smiling face to greet him.
"Little Wu, you're here. We've been waiting for you for quite a while."
Wu Gang nodded at Cen Binbin and said in a loud voice, "There was some traffic on the road, so I'm a bit late. I'll punish myself with three cups of wine to apologize later."
Despite being only nineteen years old, Wu Gang exuded a steady and dignified presence.
Wu Gang scanned the private room and noticed an unfamiliar young man sitting next to Xu Yaoyao. He frowned and asked, "Hmm? Where is this brother from? I haven't seen him before."
Before anyone else could speak, Xu Yaoyao said, "This is my boyfriend, Chen Jinzhao."
Wu Gang narrowed his eyes. He had known the purpose of Cen Binbin's dinner party for a long time. Now that a boyfriend had appeared next to Xu Yaoyao, it was clear that there would be an unpleasant confrontation.
He then subtly looked at Cen Binbin, as if asking if he wanted to make a move.
Cen Binbin burst into laughter.
"Little Wu, you've arrived at just the right time."
"This gentleman just said he wanted to spar with you. Why don't you exchange a few moves with him? But be careful not to injure him."
