You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

Faced with this epic battleground that could ignite World War III, Lin Chen showed no panic whatsoever, but instead revealed an extremely calm smile.

He gently patted Su Ke'er's back in his arms, then stood up very naturally, his movements as elegant as a magician about to go on stage.

"You're all right."

Lin Chen's voice was gentle and magnetic, as if it carried a strange soothing power, instantly easing the tense atmosphere in the restaurant.

"Without the support of Qingge and the Su family, I would find it impossible to move an inch in the capital."

"Without Qingcheng's strategic planning in the business world, we wouldn't have been able to take over a multi-billion dollar empire so smoothly."

"Without Tingxue's selfless companionship, I might have died in that laboratory long ago."

"No one takes such good care of my parents as Ke'er, allowing me to live without any worries."

He looked at the four women in front of him with sincere and profound eyes, without the slightest perfunctoriness or hypocrisy.

"Each of you is irreplaceable to me."

These words were so well-chosen that they instantly calmed most of the anger in the four women's hearts.

But they still looked at each other, their eyes still holding a hint of resentment.

Lin Chen knew that words alone were not enough; he had to take concrete actions to completely extinguish this fire.

He has unlocked [God-level Micro-expression Control] and [God-level Culinary Skills].

At this moment, he had nanometer-level control over his facial muscles, and could perfectly express any emotion he wanted.

His brain instantly transformed into an encyclopedia encompassing all the world's delicacies.

"Tonight is a celebration banquet, so why don't I personally cook a few dishes for my four great contributors?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, then very naturally unbuttoned his suit jacket, casually draped it over the back of the chair, and walked towards the open kitchen at the back of the restaurant.

The four women were stunned.

Lin Chen... is he going to cook himself?

None of them expected that Lin Chen would resolve the crisis in this way.

The open kitchen is fully equipped with a variety of top-notch kitchen utensils and fresh ingredients.

Lin Chen stood in front of the kitchen counter, tied on a black apron, and his entire demeanor instantly changed.

The usual laziness and domineering manner disappeared, replaced by an extreme focus and elegance.

He didn't even look at the menu; he just glanced at the ingredient section, and four perfect recipes instantly formed in his mind.

[God-level Magic Hand Speed] Instantly activated!

His hands transformed into two afterimages that were difficult to detect with the naked eye.

With a flash of cold light, a whole piece of top-grade Australian Wagyu beef was instantly sliced ​​into evenly thick pieces in his hand; with his other hand, he picked up a tomato, drew a graceful arc in the air, and when it fell, it had transformed into a blooming rose.

Tossing the wok, stir-frying, carving, plating...

Every movement he made was full of artistic beauty, flowing smoothly without a single superfluous motion.

The whole process took less than ten minutes.

Four exquisite dishes, each a masterpiece of color, aroma, and taste, were presented on the plate.

Lin Chen carried the first tray and walked up to Ye Qingcheng.

On the plate was a dish made with the finest ghost peppers and Wagyu beef, its color fiery red and its aroma extremely domineering and spicy.

"I call this dish 'Flaming Red Lips'."

Lin Chen's eyes were both affectionate and domineering, as if he could see right through Ye Qingcheng's heart.

"Your love is like fire, fiery and direct; only you can handle the domineering nature of this dish."

Looking at the fiery red dish on the plate, and then at Lin Chen's eyes that seemed to melt her, Ye Qingcheng felt a corner of the iceberg in her heart melt instantly.

Next, Lin Chen carried the second plate to Jiang Tingxue.

On the plate is a dish made by steaming extremely rare snow lotus and Tian Shan snow fish. It is pure white, without a trace of impurity, and exudes a cool and pure fragrance.

"This dish is called 'Snow Lotus'."

Lin Chen's tone became gentle and pure.

"Tingxue, your heart is purer than this snow lotus; none of the noise and clamor of this world can taint you."

Jiang Tingxue's pretty face flushed slightly. She lowered her head and looked at the pure white dish, feeling her heart enveloped by this pure warmth.

Then, it was Su Ke'er.

What Lin Chen placed in front of her was a plate of what looked like the most ordinary, yet most comforting, home-style sweet and sour pork ribs.

"Silly girl, this is my mom's best dish."

Lin Chen's eyes were full of doting affection as he reached out and gently pinched Su Ke'er's nose.

"I've been secretly learning how to make this for a long time, and this is the first time I've made it. I'm making it just for you."

"Brother Lin Chen..."

Su Ke'er's eyes instantly reddened; all her grievances and jealousy transformed into overwhelming happiness and emotion at that moment.

Finally, Lin Chen walked up to Su Qingge.

In his hands, he held a plate of dishes carefully prepared with lobster and chicken wings. The plating was extremely exquisite, shaped like a dragon and a phoenix, and exuded a noble and grand aroma.

"This dish is called 'Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Auspiciousness'."

Lin Chen's gaze became incredibly firm.

"Qingge, you are my strongest support in the capital, and my safest harbor when I soar through the sky."

"With you here, I feel at peace."

His superb persuasive words, combined with the divine cuisine, were like the most precise missile, instantly shattering all the four women's psychological defenses.

They looked at the dishes that had been carefully prepared for them, listened to the sweet words that touched their hearts, and looked at Lin Chen's face, which was full of sincerity and affection.

All the jealousy and resentment vanished at that moment.

Instead, a surge of intense, overwhelming love came over them.

An epic battleground capable of destroying the Earth was once again perfectly resolved by Lin Chen with just four dishes.

Li Mingyu, standing outside the door, was completely dumbfounded. His admiration for Lin Chen had risen to the level of worship.

This...this is a true master of balance!
