Ye Chen and Lin Yaru were also taken aback, but since the seats were arranged by the host, they gladly accepted them.
"Please, take a seat," said the middle-aged woman with a smile as she brought over another chair.
Lin Yaru looked at the seats on both sides, then pointed to a secluded spot on the left and said, "Let's sit there."
Ye Chen glanced at the secluded spot and didn't refuse. He didn't want to sit with others either; after all, he found these banquets extremely dull.
Soon, the host took the stage, the speech ended, and the banquet officially began.
"Yaru, I'm going to the restroom," Lin Yaru said as she got up and headed to the bathroom.
Ye Chen stood up and walked towards the other side of the main table.
"Hmm?"
Just as Ye Chen stepped into the restroom, he hesitated; he sensed danger.
He turned around and was surprised to see a handsome, burly man standing in front of him.
"Who are you?" Ye Chen asked coldly.
