Miraculous Doctor in Flower City-Chapter 396

Today, Li Nanhu was wearing a fitted mermaid gown with an off-shoulder design, and the sleeves were adorned with luxurious gold lace.

Below were cream-colored high heels, and she carried a classic square handbag.

With her smooth, low bun, both her figure and her neck appeared longer and more graceful.

"You look really beautiful today. If Zhuo Tianming sees you, he won't be able to stop swallowing his saliva."

Liu Sanming sized her up, feeling tempted himself, let alone Zhuo Tianming.

Li Nanhu couldn't help but laugh, "It's all your fault. You said I could handle Zhuo Tianming tonight. If he takes me away, you'll be responsible."

"Alright, I'll take responsibility, but if there's only punishment and no reward, that's a bit inappropriate. If I manage to get Zhuo Tianming to behave tonight at the dinner, you'll have to reward me a little."

After Liu Sanming finished speaking, he winked playfully.

Li Nanhu's face instantly blushed slightly.

She could, of course, guess what Liu Sanming meant by "reward a little."

But she dressed so attractively today because she wanted to see Liu Sanming.

She also had thoughts of having a moment with Liu Sanming in her heart.

Otherwise, with Zhuo Tianming's character, why would Li Nanhu go out of her way to dress like this?

"Alright, alright, whatever you say."

After speaking, Li Nanhu's face reddened further.

Liu Sanming laughed heartily and went into the elevator with her.

After entering the elevator, Li Nanhu habitually hooked her arm around Liu Sanming's.

The soft mass turned into an oval shape against him, and Liu Sanming deliberately moved his elbow, prompting Li Nanhu to coquettishly scold him with a playful "nasty."

Liu Sanming, however, wasn't embarrassed and just laughed heartily.

Soon, the elevator reached the eighth floor.

The two walked out together and quickly found the reserved private room.

Once inside, Liu Sanming called over a waiter and ordered a table full of signature dishes, with Li Nanhu adding a few more.

The two then chatted and laughed in the private room, waiting for Zhuo Tianming to arrive.

In the past, Li Nanhu had refused Zhuo Tianming's invitations many times and was quite wary of him.

After all, he was the heir of a top noble family in Hu City, whose family's influence and background far surpassed that of the Li Family in Sea City.

But at this moment, there was not a trace of dread or unease on Li Nanhu's face.

Because Liu Sanming was by her side.

To Li Nanhu, Liu Sanming was a presence that made her feel more secure than even her mother, Li Qiuyun.

Just as the two were having a congenial conversation, the door to the private room sounded.

Immediately, a voluptuous waitress walked in slowly.

And behind her, three people entered in turn.

One was Zhuo Tianming, dressed in a black tailored suit, with a well-proportioned body, an arrogant expression, and a haughty, disdainful look in his eyes.

Accustomed to luxury and flattery from a young age, even though Zhuo Tianming had been massively inconvenienced by parasites that afternoon, he still maintained the usual demeanor of a cold young master.

Following behind him were a man and a woman.

The man was tall and burly, with deliberately short breaths, eyes like a tiger's, exuding a fierce aura.

The woman had a curvaceous figure and a touch of coldness in her beautiful eyes. But when she saw Li Nanhu looking at her, she obviously held a bit of apprehension.

Seeing the three enter, Liu Sanming stood up and greeted them, "Young Master Zhuo's visit truly brings glory to this place!"

"Well, a dog's mouth can't spit ivory. That's about all you can say, right?"

Zhuo Tianming sneered coldly.

Then he unexpectedly extended his hand, prompting Liu Sanming to hastily do the same.

To his surprise, in the next moment, Zhuo Tianming sidestepped him and approached Li Nanhu.

It wasn't a handshake at all, but a deliberate move to ridicule him, intending to shake hands with Li Nanhu instead.

It might have been a strategic move, considering many in the upper circle of Sea City were aware of the unusual relationship between Li Nanhu and Liu Sanming.

During a previous confrontation with the Lin Family, Li Nanhu had stepped in to support Liu Sanming, even at the expense of cutting ties with the Lin Family.

"Nanhu, you haven't changed a bit; you're still as stunning as ever. Truly a sight for my sore eyes."

The disdain and coldness on Zhuo Tianming's face disappeared as he spoke.

His demeanor transformed into that of a refined gentleman.

Unexpectedly, Li Nanhu didn't extend her hand, instead, she laughed dryly a couple of times, "Hello, Young Master Zhuo. My wrist is injured, so let's skip the handshake. Besides, your compliments are honestly very low-brow."

With these words, the atmosphere immediately froze!

Anyone could tell that Li Nanhu was standing up for Liu Sanming.

She even confronted Zhuo Tianming to avenge Liu Sanming.

It was truly shocking!

No matter how strong Liu Sanming was, he was merely a hero in Sea City.

But Zhuo Tianming was a top-level scion in Hu City. Could these two even be mentioned in the same breath?

The man and woman standing behind Zhuo Tianming each had a chilling look in their eyes amidst their shock.

"Interesting, who would've thought there'd be someone daring enough to speak so insidiously to Young Master Zhuo in Sea City? Miss Li, you're quite bold."

The woman chuckled coldly.

The man added, "Even though Miss Li has a prominent identity, her taste is appalling. To stand up to Young Master Zhuo for a country bumpkin. Some people just have extraordinary backgrounds, but they can't wash off the rustic scent they carry."

"Zhuo Shiyi, Sun Guanglei, you two better shut up! Can you meddle in the conversation between me and Young Master Zhuo?"

Li Nanhu's expression immediately turned cold!

Faced with Zhuo Tianming, she still harbored some dread, but she felt no such thing towards Zhuo Shiyi and Sun Guanglei!

Even though Zhuo Shiyi was the only daughter of Zhuo Fenghai, one of the three top leaders in Sea City, so what?

The Zhuo Family in Sea City had no connection with the Zhuo Family in Hu City.

And Sun Guanglei held a similar position; his grandfather was also one of the three leaders, named Sun Haixiao.

Sun Haixiao was also the founder of the Sea City Wolf Gang, equivalent in status to the Sea God Association of the Fu Family.

Though in the underworld, both Sun Guanglei and Zhuo Shiyi held significant status, compared to the Li Family, they were still lacking.

After all, the underworld's power can't be openly acknowledged.

And the Li Family, under Li Qiuyun's leadership, possessed colossal assets, holding a top-tier status not only in the business world but also with extensive connections in politics.

So Li Nanhu simply ignored these two.

Zhuo Tianming, seeing the trio about to clash, immediately stepped out.

Although Zhuo Shiyi and Sun Haixiao were indeed confronting Li Nanhu for his sake, Zhuo Tianming's goal on this trip was Li Nanhu, not those two.

So Zhuo Tianming could only laugh heartily and said, "Alright, enough talking. Let's sit down and start eating. The dishes can be served now."

After speaking, he signaled to Liu Sanming with a glance.

Liu Sanming too laughed heartily, grabbing Li Nanhu's soft arm and pulling her back to her seat.

"As they say, sometimes a little conflict leads to better understanding. Let's all have dinner first; we can discuss matters later."

"Hmph."

Li Nanhu gave face to Liu Sanming and sat down obediently, but she still glared fiercely at Zhuo Shiyi and Sun Guanglei with her beautiful eyes.

Yet the two didn't take it to heart, as they still had Zhuo Tianming to back them up.

The Zhuo Family from Hu City wasn't here for a brief stint; they planned for a long-term stay.

Once the Zhuo Family flourished, what place would there be for the Li Family?

Now the Zhuo Family in Sea City and the Sun Family were already picking sides.
