Chapter 785: Chapter 671: Times Change - Part 1

"Jingwan!"

Zhou Jingyun hurried down the stairs, intending to rush over and see if Zhou Jingwan was injured, but upon seeing Yan Wentao holding Zhou Jingwan, she forcibly stopped herself.

Zhou Jingwan, seeing the people in the restaurant watching them, tugged at Yan Wentao’s clothes, "Third Brother, put me down first."

Yan Wentao nodded and carefully set Zhou Jingwan down.

Perhaps due to the recent scare, Zhou Jingwan’s legs were a bit weak, and Yan Wentao noticed it, quickly supporting her.

"Shameless!"

Just then, a voice filled with mockery entered everyone’s ears.

Almost instantly, Yan Wentao’s eyes shot towards the direction of the stairs, his cold gaze piercing toward the speaker, Zuo Meng, like sharp arrows.

Zuo Meng felt her heart constrict under that gaze.

At that moment, Yan Wentao was wearing casual home clothes, not the Jinling Guard’s uniform, so Zuo Meng only thought he was a son from a family friendly with the Zhou family and did not take him seriously.

If Zuo Meng had known he was from the Jinling Guard, even if she had ten times the courage, she would not dare to speak carelessly.

Yan Wentao noticed the whispering around him and handed Zhou Jingwan over to Zhou Jingyun to hold, then, seeing Zuo Meng coming down the stairs, flicked a golden melon seed from his fingertip at high speed.

"Ah!"

Zuo Meng felt a sharp pain in her calf and instinctively fell backward, looking at the steep staircase. Without a thought, she reached out and grabbed Peng Mingchi next to her, and then, the two of them rolled down the stairs together.

"Ah~"

When the two tumbled down the stairs, the restaurant burst into successive cries of surprise.

At that moment, Zuo Meng was lying on top of Peng Mingchi, their lips coincidentally touching each other.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned. Then, not knowing who started it, the restaurant was filled with sounds of disdain.

"This is an insult to decency!"

"Corrupting public morals!"

"Shameless!"

On the staircase, Du Qing’s eyes reddened from the sight of Zuo Meng and Peng Mingchi kissing; why else would she deal with Zhou Jingwan if not for her admiration for Peng Mingchi? To think that instead of dealing with Zhou Jingwan, she ended up helping Zuo Meng.

Enraged, Du Qing dashed down the stairs, and the other girls, coming back to their senses, quickly followed. _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}

However, the girl walking at the back missed her step and plunged downward violently. Front overtook back, and in no time, several girls were dragged down the stairs together.

Yan Wentao didn’t look further and turned to Zhou Jingwan, "I’ll take you back."

Zhou Jingwan glanced at Du Qing and the others, who had fallen to the ground without any grace and were being watched by the crowd, feeling immensely satisfied. Without asking, she knew all this was Yan Wentao’s doing.

Back in Zhongzhou, whenever she was bullied, he would also stand up for her. Even if he couldn’t avenge her on the spot, he’d make sure to get back at them later.

Yan Wentao led Zhou Jingwan and Zhou Jingyun out of the restaurant. Before stepping out of the door, he looked back at Peng Mingchi, who had just gotten up from the ground and was still wiping his mouth.

Peng Mingchi was also watching Yan Wentao. When the others left, he quickly asked a friend who had come down after him, "Who was that man?"

The son of the Minister of Punishments, Fen Bofei, spoke with a somewhat solemn expression, "He’s the newly appointed commander of the Jinling Guard by the emperor for his great merits in the Northern Frontier, Yan Wentao."

Upon hearing this, Peng Mingchi’s eyelids twitched.

He remembered his father saying that the Zhou family and the Yan family were on very good terms.

Thinking of Yan Wentao’s protective manner towards Zhou Jingwan, Peng Mingchi felt very uncomfortable.
