Chapter 12 Flowers Are Not Given Arbitrarily_1

In an instant, Gu Yi'an's face turned extremely pale.

At this moment, a voice full of character slowly rose from behind, "Am I very old?"

Hearing this voice, Gu Yi'an didn't know why, but she suddenly felt a sense of relief in her heart.

Tan Jincheng had already walked over, stretched out his hand, and wrapped Gu Yi'an's shoulder, pulling her into his arms. He looked at the three members of the Lin family and said lightly, "I didn't know when I turned into an old man."

Tan Jincheng's appearance was simply too outstanding, and his whole demeanor exuded an aura of nobility that was hard to resist with just one glance.

Mrs. Lin originally wanted to insult Tan Jincheng by calling him a pretty boy, but his imposing presence was too overwhelming. Just one look from him made her feel a chill all over.

Lin Chengjian was the first to react. He looked at Tan Jincheng with some disbelief, "Are you... Mr. Tan?"

Tan Jincheng's gaze merely brushed over Lin Chengjian indifferently, "You know me?"

This statement undoubtedly confirmed his identity.

Lin Chengjian immediately became excited, extending his hands in an extremely enthusiastic manner, "Mr. Tan, I am Lin Chengjian. Last month, our company reached a cooperation agreement with the Jinsheng Hotel, and our company is responsible for constructing Jinsheng's new building. It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Tan."

Tan Jincheng, however, furrowed his eyebrows slightly, "Are you sure your company is constructing Jinsheng's new building?"

"Yes, Mr. Tan, all aspects of the cooperation details have been agreed upon; only the signing is left. After signing, all procedures will be completed," Lin Chengjian said excitedly.

Tan Jincheng just nodded lightly, "Let's wait a bit. This project was originally handled by my assistant, but after today, it seems that I might have to oversee it personally."

With just one sentence, Lin Chengjian was dumbfounded.

What did it mean for Tan Jincheng to oversee it personally?

Lin Chengjian, who had started as a foreman, initially built rural houses, and then gradually expanded his business, seizing the right opportunities and finally establishing a construction company. After years of struggle, he had achieved his current success.

Because everything he had was fought for, Lin Chengjian's mind was very active.

Just at the moment Tan Jincheng spoke, his heart turned cold. It was over. If not handled well, this cooperation matter would definitely fall apart.

Thinking of this, Lin Chengjian quickly forced a smile and said, "Mr. Tan, our company's qualifications are absolutely unquestionable. We can completely guarantee the construction period and quality."

"Sorry, I don't like discussing business during my private time." Tan Jincheng's lips carried a faint smile, and his eyes were extremely cold.

Lin Chengjian's mouth twitched, but he dared not utter a single word of rebuttal or show the slightest dissatisfaction.

"My wife and I are about to dine. Since you want this private room, we'll leave it to you. Happy birthday to your wife."

Although Tan Jincheng's words were spoken with a smile, in Lin Chengjian and Mrs. Lin's ears, it sounded like a summons from a demon from hell.

Lin Chengjian's face had already stiffened to the utmost.

If word got out that he dared to snatch Young Emperor Tan Jincheng's private room, he was certain that those partners who were originally on good terms with him would immediately turn their backs on him. In S City, offending Tan Jincheng was absolutely a dead end!

"Mr. Tan, it's a misunderstanding. We didn't originally know there was someone in this private room. Since it was reserved by you, how can we take it? We can dine anywhere," Lin Chengjian said quickly, giving Mrs. Lin a meaningful look.

Mrs. Lin also quickly forced a smile, "Yes, we can dine anywhere."

Tan Jincheng chuckled softly, "I dare not be called an old man."

With these words, Lin Chengjian and Mrs. Lin immediately looked at a loss.

Gu Yi'an couldn't help but find it funny. Tan Jincheng really bore grudges. How could the two people opposite still face him?

Seeing the smile in Gu Yi'an's eyes, Tan Jincheng lowered his head and gave her a kiss on the face, "Fortunately, Mrs. Tan doesn't mind that I'm an old man."

Gu Yi'an hadn't expected that Tan Jincheng would kiss her in front of others and call her Mrs. Tan, causing her face to instantly burn as if all eyes were on her.

Gu Yi'an bit her lip and glared at Tan Jincheng, her cheeks flushed, her eyes full of affection.

Tan Jincheng couldn't help but let out a low laugh, "Mrs. Tan, please don't seduce your husband in public."

Gu Yi'an gritted her teeth, yet couldn't say a word.

Who was seducing you?!

Originally, Lin Chengjian and Mrs. Lin thought Gu Yi'an was Tan Jincheng's lover, but unexpectedly, she really was Mrs. Tan.

For a moment, their faces turned even paler.

There had been no news about Tan Jincheng getting married. How could there suddenly be a Mrs. Tan?

Moreover, it seemed that Tan Jincheng was quite fond of this Mrs. Tan, but they had just offended her, even calling her an old man's mistress...

"Do you still need my wife and me to leave the private room for you?" Tan Jincheng looked indifferently at the still-staying Lin Chengjian.

"No need, no need," Lin Chengjian quickly smiled apologetically.

"Then why are you still here?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Tan and Mrs. Tan, enjoy your meal. Mr. Lin will take his leave now." Saying this, Lin Chengjian quickly pulled his wife and son away.

Finally, peace was restored.

Gu Yi'an looked at Tan Jincheng, "Why are you here?"

Tan Jincheng raised an eyebrow, "Why, can't I come?"

"No, I mean, where were you when I called you earlier? How did you get here so quickly?" Gu Yi'an's tone softened a bit. If Tan Jincheng hadn't intervened just now, she wouldn't have been wronged, but she would have felt disgusted.

With her upbringing, she certainly wouldn't have argued with people like Lin Chengjian, but she would still feel disgusted when dealing with someone like Mrs. Lin.

Tan Jincheng didn't answer, instead leading Gu Yi'an into the private room, "Why did you suddenly decide to come here tonight, meeting someone?"

"Yes, a friend," Gu Yi'an said without much hesitation.

Tan Jincheng noticed the bunch of lilies on the table, "Was this bouquet ordered for him?"

For some reason, Gu Yi'an felt that Tan Jincheng's tone was a bit odd when he said this.

"Yes, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Gu Yi'an paused, and a thought suddenly popped into her mind. Could Tan Jincheng be jealous?

But how could that be? They had only met a few times, and their marriage was just because they both needed to get married. How could he be jealous?

"Mrs. Tan, I'm jealous."

"Cough—"

Lost in random thoughts, Gu Yi'an was caught off guard by Tan Jincheng's words and accidentally choked on her saliva.

She looked at him with disbelief!
