Jiangnan, Yunle Pavilion.

Nestled in a hidden corner of the city center, surrounded by towering skyscrapers, the moment you step through the lush, green alley, you're greeted by a magnificent, antique-style restaurant.

Just the cost of the two fountains at the entrance would be at least five million. The stone materials used are top-notch internationally, and the expenses for rerouting the water pipes in such a prime location are beyond what ordinary wealthy individuals can afford.

This was where Jiang Tianran had arranged to meet Qin Yun for dinner.

After the white Lamborghini parked at the entrance, Qin Yun got out of the car and was slightly taken aback when he saw the "Yunle Pavilion" sign.

Isn't this the place where Xu De invited Cuihua for dinner?

"What's wrong, Qin Yun?" Jiang Tianran, dressed in a black long dress with her hair down and wearing a diamond ring, walked up to Qin Yun.

Qin Yun shook his head, "Nothing."

"Oh, so now you don't call me Boss, just my name?"

Jiang Tianran sneaked a smile, "Didn't you call me enough last night?"

Qin Yun shrank back, "Cough, well, Tianran, what exactly is our relationship now?"

"Comrades, or... friends with benefits?"

"Or boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Hearing this, Jiang Tianran angrily punched Qin Yun, "What do you mean, you want to deny everything after getting what you wanted?"

"Huh?"

"I didn't mean that!"

Jiang Tianran directly linked arms with Qin Yun, "You're mine now, let's go in!"

"I'll introduce you to some people."

"Introduce me?" Qin Yun's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, could it be...

Indeed.

Just as he suspected, the moment they entered the private room at Yunle Pavilion, Qin Yun was dumbfounded by the sight of a large group of people sitting neatly inside.

"This is my dad, the current head of the Jiang Clan, Jiang Liuyun!"

"This is my grandfather, Jiang Zhengfa."

"This is my second aunt."

"This is my second uncle."

"My little aunt."

"My cousin."

"My younger brother..."

"My cousin..."

Without a doubt, he was being introduced to the family, and at an incredibly fast pace, leaving Qin Yun no time to react.

Now there was no need to consider whether they were comrades, friends with benefits, or in a romantic relationship. Damn, they were heading straight for marriage.

It turned out that tonight's dinner was Jiang Tianran introducing Qin Yun to her family.

After the introductions, the people before him were the core members of the Jiang Clan, who would also be attending their future wedding.

Jiang Liuyun smiled and looked at Jiang Tianran, "Alright, Tianran, it seems you've given Xiao Qin quite a shock."

Jiang Tianran pouted, "What shock? It's clearly a surprise. Aren't you all always urging me to get married? Now that I've brought him, you're still not happy?"

She paused and introduced, "Alright, let me formally introduce you. This is my captain from my five years in the army, Qin Yun, codename Dragon Scale."

Upon hearing this, all eyes lit up once more. It was clear that no one was dissatisfied with Qin Yun.

Codename Dragon Scale, the Soldier King in the army, the nemesis of mercenaries at the border.

What Qin Yun didn't know was that his codename had already shocked those beyond the borders, and his presence was one that commanded respect across the world.

Jiang Liuyun then solemnly stood up, walked over to Qin Yun, and extended his hand.

Qin Yun took a deep breath, maintained a calm expression, and reached out to shake his hand.

Jiang Liuyun said in a deep voice, "Captain Qin, on behalf of the Jiang Clan, I thank you for taking care of our Tianran over the past five years."

"I know, this sudden meeting must be quite overwhelming for you, but we are truly grateful to you."

"Tianran's women's special forces team is, after all, the first female unit newly established in China, and they have to undertake missions at the border, licking blood off the blade."

"These five years, we've been worried every moment, but knowing you were leading the team, we were at ease. We've wanted to meet you for a long time."

Qin Yun felt a bitter smile inside; he had been kept in the dark for a long time too.

He scratched the back of his head with his other hand, unsure of what to say.

Jiang Liuyun continued, "As for the future between you and Tianran, we won't interfere or put any pressure on you."

"Your relationship is for you to decide. No matter what decision you make in the future, the Jiang Clan will not interfere."

"And, the Jiang Clan will always stand behind you, because..."

At this point, Jiang Liuyun suddenly paused, as if he thought of something, and didn't continue, just smiled.

Qin Yun thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I'll take good care of Tianran."

Hearing this, Jiang Liuyun let out a heavy breath, "That's good."

"Alright, Tianran, take Xiao Qin to the next room! Sitting with us old folks, you young people won't feel comfortable."

"Go on!"

"Okay."

Jiang Tianran nodded, took Qin Yun's hand, and led him out. The purpose today was just to introduce him to her family.

The two of them went to the next private room, where the table was already filled with a dazzling array of dishes. Qin Yun didn't waste any time and picked up his chopsticks to dig in.

This was a habit developed in the army.

After finishing their meal, the two were ready to leave.

However, as they were walking downstairs, a familiar voice suddenly reached their ears.

In the lobby on the first floor, a group of Yunle Pavilion's security had surrounded Liu Ya and her companions.

At the forefront, Liu Ya's face changed drastically as she stared at the leading hotel manager, "What do you mean by this?"

"Didn't we reserve a spot? Why are you asking us to pay compensation?"

We are "pawread.co𝑚", find us on google.

"And even threatening to call the police on us?"

The hotel manager pointed at Xu De and snorted, "Our hotel only allows reservations with a membership card."

"But you stole our customer's card and used it to book a private room. Our customer called to confirm and said they never lent it to you."

"Doesn't such theft require police intervention?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ya's face turned pale. Being kicked out halfway through a meal and surrounded in the lobby, and now being told that the membership card Xu De used was stolen, not borrowed!

She knew well that Yunle Pavilion wasn't a place just anyone could afford to visit.

What was going on?

She looked at Xu De.

But found.

At this moment, Xu De's face was unusually calm, as if he had known about this all along.

Before she could react, the hotel manager sharply asked, "You'd better confess, who exactly stole our customer Zhao Tianfei's card!"

Whoosh.

Who?

Zhao Tianfei?

Liu Ya's eyes widened in shock. Zhao Tianfei? Isn't he one of those like Wang Tianhai who wanted to forcibly acquire the company?

And just then, Xu De suddenly pointed at Liu Ya and declared firmly.

"It was her!"

"She stole it, she's the one who brought us here, it's not our fault."

Liu Ya: "!!!!!!!!!!"
