Chapter 104: Chapter 124: Flirting in Person? _1

"Brother, shall we have dinner together tonight?"

"Sure!"

Almost off work, Lin Chen received a phone call from Gu Yuexi. Her soft, sweet voice was hard to resist.

The last time Lin Chen met with Gu Yuexi was the night they were attacked by the Four Fierce Beasts. It had significantly changed the nature of their relationship.

They had been pretending to be lovers before, but now that they had become more intimate, claiming it was still fake would seem irresponsible and deceiving.

Lin Chen figured that if he returned home, Chu Jiaxue might ask him numerous questions. So, he decided to hide himself to avoid the trouble.

Gu Yuexi had evidently put effort into her appearance today. With her curled hair, a one-shoulder top, and a short skirt, she wore simple yet fashionable high-heeled sandals. Her fair-skinned long legs attracted countless men’s attention as they stared at Lin Chen, their eyes filled with longing and envy.

"Where should we go?"

Gu Yuexi clung to Lin Chen’s arm intimately, no longer trying to hide their relationship.

They had been fake lovers before, now they were to become real ones!

Although Lin Chen had a three-month engagement with another woman, that was also fake, wasn’t it?

Lin Chen was so capable and manly; if Gu Yuexi didn’t snatch him up now, she would lose her chance later.

"Let’s have dinner and then watch a movie, okay?"

Lin Chen originally also planned to return home late, so he said with a laugh, "Sure!"

As they were eating, Gu Yuexi’s phone suddenly rang.

"Hello, Wenwen... I’m having dinner right now... with my boyfriend..."

After chatting for a while, Gu Yuexi covered the phone: "A friend has run into some trouble and wants to meet up. She seems quite upset. Can I invite her to come over?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Sure, I have no problem with that."

"Thank you, Brother."

After finishing the phone call, Gu Yuexi explained, "She’s a regular customer at my store, and we’re of the same age. We get along well and often hang out together. She just called me, saying she accompanied her boyfriend to a dinner party. At the party, a man took a liking to her, groped her leg, and verbally harassed her. Very upset, she told her boyfriend about it, but he didn’t care. Instead, he excitedly informed her about the man’s powerful background and influence. She got so angry that she stormed out."

Lin Chen said with a smile, "So he was harassing her right in front of her boyfriend? Seems like her boyfriend doesn’t care about her, but rather the benefits he can get. Your friend really chose the wrong person."

Gu Yuexi asked playfully, "Brother, what would you do if it happened to me?"

Lin Chen grinned and said, "What do you think?"

Gu Yuexi propped her chin and pondered, "I can’t guess, but I’m sure that guy would be miserable. I doubt he could leave the hotel without going straight to the hospital."

Lin Chen said with a smile, "You have that much faith in me?"

Gu Yuexi smiled proudly and lowered her voice, "I’ve been following Zhao Yiheng’s news these days. I heard he was hospitalized that very night, and two days later, he and his son died by falling off a cliff. Brother, did you do it?"

Lin Chen answered candidly, "Yes and no."

Gu Yuexi was instantly confused, "What do you mean?"

Lin Chen explained, "Indeed, I was the one who sent Zhao Yiheng to the hospital. I spared his life to lure his son back. I was indeed planning to kill them both, but something changed and someone else did it. I just watched."

Gu Yuexi’s eyes lit up, "I knew it! I guessed that the whole falling off a cliff thing was just an excuse. Brother, Zhao Yiheng was quite powerful, will there be any trouble?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I didn’t kill him, so what trouble could there be? Besides, someone will step in to handle the trouble. It’s not a big deal."

Gu Yuexi looked up to Lin Chen admiringly, "You’re so amazing! I really admire myself!"

Lin Chen asked in surprise, "Admire yourself?"

Gu Yuexi said proudly, "Yes! What were the odds of meeting you in such a vast sea of people? If I hadn’t taken the initiative, we’d only have been passers-by who had met once. How could you become my boyfriend? Don’t you think I have sharp eyes?"

Lin Chen burst into laughter, "Yes, yes, sharp eyes!"

Gu Yuexi’s friend Ye Wen soon arrived. She was a beautiful woman in her mid-twenties, with slightly swollen eyes, as if she had just cried.

After the introductions, Ye Wen politely apologized first, "I’m sorry for interrupting your date."

Lin Chen said with a smile, "It’s alright, the more, the merrier."

Gu Yuexi comforted her, "Just eat something first. Men are all the same. If you can’t tolerate it, just break up. It’s no big deal."

Ye Wen sighed, "We’ve been college classmates and have been dating for four years. He’s been good to me, but today’s incident has really upset me."

Gu Yuexi curiously asked, "I remember your boyfriend’s family is in trading, right? Aren’t they quite well-off?"

Ye Wen looked embarrassed, "Well, yes, they’re quite well-off compared to ordinary people. But in higher circles, they don’t really matter. Moreover, the man who took a liking to me was the Second Young Master of the Tian Family... "

Gu Yuexi widened her eyes, "Tian Family? You’re not talking about that Tian Family, are you?"

Ye Wen forced a smile, "Yes, that Tian Family."

Gu Yuexi sighed, "That’s really troubling..."
