It's normal for a villain like me to subdue a corrupted female protagonist, right?

He seemed to have... met the other person before?

He narrowed his eyes, searched his memory briefly, and immediately understood.

That woman was none other than Zeng Xueting, the daughter of the Zeng family, one of the four prominent families!

He Qinzhou never expected that the eldest daughter of the Zeng family, a family that has always disliked attending worldly gatherings, would actually appear here!

He Qinzhou looked around but didn't see any other members of the Zeng family there, which made him a little puzzled.

Logically speaking, Zeng Xueting is the eldest daughter of the Zeng family, showered with love and affection. How could the Zeng family leave her here alone?

She definitely needs bodyguards to protect her.

Even though the Zeng family is a martial arts family and Zeng Xueting was influenced by ancient martial arts from a young age, she was no exception.

He Qinzhou stroked his chin, vaguely sensing that this matter was not so simple...

At that moment, Zeng Xueting was savoring her champagne, unaware that by agreeing to come with Song Rongzhi to join in the He family's festivities, she had thus escaped a crisis.

Chapter 396: The Birthday Party Begins

"Damn it, what a coincidence! First of all, Zeng Xueting isn't home?"

"And her best friend isn't here either, what a coincidence..."

Han Feng looked at the dark villa in front of him with a frustrated expression and complained.

"Do you know where they went?"

Han Feng tentatively asked the Zeng family bodyguard beside him.

The answer he received left him even more frustrated.

"Fine, I'll just wait here! I don't believe they won't come back."

After a brief moment of thought, Han Feng made his decision.

Upon hearing this, the Zeng family bodyguard beside him immediately felt that this man was not quite right in the head.

If you can't find anyone today, can't you come tomorrow?

Are you really going to starve here?

However, they also knew that Han Feng was now a favorite of Old Master Zeng, and they had no other choice but to secretly complain in their hearts.

Several bodyguards found a step and sat down on it.

He Family Manor.

He Qinzhou watched Zeng Xueting slowly savoring her champagne. Although he found it strange that she was there alone, he did not intend to go up and ask her about it.

Although she was beautiful, He Qinzhou felt that he had too many women around him now.

If it weren't for his special identity as the female lead, He Qinzhou would probably rather not try to seduce ordinary girls.

Thinking this, He Qinzhou shook his head and decided to continue strolling around outside the mansion for a while.

Then she turned around and went back to her bedroom, intending to take a good shower and change her clothes before coming out again.

the other side.

The manor's kitchen.

Some people are washing and chopping vegetables, preparing for dinner.

One of the long-legged beauties, dressed in a chef's robe, was inspecting the ingredients. If she saw any that were not properly processed, she would have them reprocessed.

Some of the ingredients that require excellent knife skills will be prepared by hand.

At this moment, the long-legged beauty in the chef's robe is preparing a bluefin tuna.

Song Rongzhi's meticulous demeanor captivated everyone in the kitchen.

Beautiful, diligent, famous, and wealthy—all these words combined to describe her, making Song Rongzhi seem to radiate light.

Everyone who saw this scene found it pleasing to the eye.

"Hey, Chef Song is so beautiful, I wonder if she has a boyfriend?"

Even if they didn't, they wouldn't even look at us.

The two male chefs whispered to each other, their eyes filled with undisguised admiration.

Although they spoke very softly, Song Rongzhi could still hear them clearly.

What she hated most was being gossiped about. She put down her knife and glared coldly at the two male chefs. "Are you done with your work? How come you have so much time to gossip?"

Hearing Song Rongzhi's angry tone, the two male chefs knew that their words had reached her ears.

After quickly apologizing, he continued working.

Song Rongzhi snorted coldly, glared at the two of them fiercely, and then picked up the knife again to process the ingredients in her hand.

Before we knew it, the birthday dinner was about to begin.

He Qinzhou changed into a new outfit and appeared just before the birthday banquet was about to begin.

There were two tables at the birthday banquet: one for Jiang Suyue's friends and the other for her relatives.

He Qinzhou naturally sat at the relatives' table. As soon as he sat down, he saw Yang Zhixia sitting on the other side, constantly winking and giving him signals.

He pretended not to see it, pulled out a chair, and sat down directly.

This series of actions instantly infuriated Yang Zhixia.

They miss you, that's why they're sending you all sorts of messages, hoping you'll come and spend time with them.

And what about you?

Ignore me completely!

Wait until after the banquet, and see how I deal with you!

This is what Yang Zhixia is thinking at this moment.

The dishes were served one after another, and the banquet officially began.

He Qinzhou picked up a piece of sashimi made from bluefin tuna, put it in his mouth, and felt his taste buds explode.

too delicious!

He Qinzhou's eyes lit up, and he picked up several pieces and put them into his mouth.

Meanwhile, some incredulous sounds came from the table where Jiang Suyue's mother was sitting.

"Old He, where did you find this chef? His skills are amazing! I've eaten plenty of delicacies, but this is the first time I've tasted such delicious food."

These words came from Xu Bowen.

"Old Xu, you don't know this, but I've invited an internationally renowned chef to organize this birthday banquet. It's a world-class event."

"Compared to a typical five-star hotel chef, they are far inferior."

He Lintian responded with a smile.

"An international culinary master? Which one?"

Xu Bowen pressed for an answer.

"It's that internationally renowned genius female chef, Song Rongzhi."

He Lintian said with a smile.

He thoroughly enjoys the feeling of being the center of attention.

"That beautiful, twenty-something-year-old culinary goddess who received a knighthood from the Queen of England?"

As a war god, Xu Bowen was somewhat familiar with some international figures.

He was well aware of the renowned name of Song Rongzhi, the beautiful and talented chef.

Therefore, he couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Exactly."

He Lintian nodded, agreeing with his statement.

The other friends at the table, who had also heard of Song Rongzhi's name, all showed expressions of surprise.

The table next to it.

After hearing the conversation between Xu Bowen and He Lintian, He Qinzhou's hand, which was picking up food, trembled slightly.

In particular, when he heard the name "Song Rongzhi", he felt both familiar and unfamiliar.

After thinking hard for a moment, he realized that this was the female lead who had fallen in love with him at first sight.

He was worried about where to find Song Rongzhi.

Unexpectedly, the other party turned out to be the chef who organized his mother Jiang Suyue's birthday banquet.

"This beautiful chef isn't easy to invite, how did you manage to do it?"

On the other side, Xu Bowen asked He Lintian curiously.

"It's very difficult to invite them; you can't get them to come unless you have a good relationship with them."

He Lintian was too ashamed to say that when he came to her door, she still refused him outright when she heard that he was a member of the He family, showing him no respect whatsoever.

Only after spending a huge sum of money did he finally win her over.

To avoid Xu Bowen from pressing him further, He Lintian changed the subject.

"Hey, Lao Xu, where's Mengzhu? Didn't you say you'd bring her along? Where is she?"

"It was all arranged. I even sent a driver to pick her up from school, but she suddenly called and said that she had a lot of things to do at the company and couldn't get away, so she wouldn't be coming."

Xu Bowen gave a brief explanation, then turned to look at the table next to him.

"Qinzhou, how are things going between you and Mengzhu?"

Xu Bowen already knew about Xu Mengzhu and He Qinzhou's affair and had no objections.

He was extremely satisfied with this young man, He Qinzhou.

Chapter 397: Not Leaving Again

Xu Bowen was very concerned about the relationship between Xu Mengzhu and He Qinzhou, but Xu Mengzhu kept avoiding the topic, so he wanted to ask He Qinzhou about it.

Upon hearing this, He Qinzhou felt a jolt in his heart.

He wasn't sure if Xu Bowen would be angry if he knew he had many women.

He Qinzhou didn't dare to gamble, so he could only reply simply: "Well... it's alright, not bad."

Perhaps because he was carefree, Xu Bowen didn't pay attention to He Qinzhou's answer. He just smiled and continued, "Qinzhou, Mengzhu has never had any other male friends since she was a child. The fact that she got engaged to you without making a fuss means she must be very satisfied with you. You'd better work hard. Your uncle has high hopes for you."

"Okay, I'll definitely do my best."

He Qinzhou chuckled awkwardly and responded to Xu Bowen.

As they were talking, all the dishes were served. "Old He, don't you have connections with that beautiful chef? Won't you introduce us?"

Xu Bowen was somewhat tempted, thinking that he would invite this female chef to handle the banquets in the future, so he said to He Lintian.

Hearing this, He Lintian felt a little guilty, but still forced himself to say, "Okay." Besides, that female chef had been busy all day and probably hadn't eaten yet.

"From a courtesy standpoint, I should invite them over for a meal as well."

"Master, I'll go and call them."

Lu Zhiyun volunteered.

He Lintian nodded and reminded him, "Remember to be polite."

"Of course!"

Lu Zhiyun left the banquet hall in a few quick steps and jogged outside, soon arriving at the kitchen.

At this moment, Song Rongzhi had taken off her chef's robe, which she had been wearing on the outside, and seemed to be preparing to leave.

"Hello, my husband would like to invite you to have dinner together."

Lu Zhiyun remembered He Lintian's instructions, so his tone was still polite and respectful.

"Your master?"

Song Rongzhi frowned slightly, looking surprised.
