Hao Jianren stared blankly at Lu Qingzhou, his eyes wide with anticipation, eager to hear his answer.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingzhou chuckled inwardly, 'Damn, these two 'beasts' finally couldn't hold back and showed their true colors.'
Before he could even open his mouth, Su Qingyao deftly took his arm.
With a sweet smile on her face, she said in a clear voice, "Yes, it is. What's up, Brother Zhang?"
She listened to Lu Qingzhou and the others chatting for a long time, addressing each other as "brother" and "brother," so she followed suit and called them "Brother Zhang" in a friendly and natural way, giving them plenty of face.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ming's eyes widened even more, his face filled with disbelief. He stammered, "No, brother, you... you've been hiding this well!"
When did you find such a beautiful girlfriend? You didn't even let a word out.
If you hadn't said anything, I would have thought you were just very good friends.

As he spoke, his gaze inadvertently swept over Zhang Ming and Hao Jianren, noticing the envious and jealous expressions on their faces.
He chuckled inwardly: 'If I told you she's the president of the [Luyao Group], you'd all be shocked.'
Of course, he wasn't trying to show off; he just felt there was no need to bring up Su Qingyao's identity. Letting them know that Su Qingyao was his woman was enough; there was no need to provoke them further.
Leng Yue watched all this from the side. She lowered her eyes and pretended to be calm, but her fingers unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes.
