Chapter 128: Chapter 148: Can’t Figure It Out, Where Did I Lose? _1

"Hello, Wang Jianbo."

"Lin Chen."

Lin Chen and Wang Jianbo shook hands and then Lin Chen very gentlemanly pulled out a chair for Chu Jiaxue.

Seeing this, Wang Jianbo felt a sudden sourness in his heart, burning with jealousy, and pretended to complain: "Chu Jiaxue, you got married so secretly, none of our classmates knew about it. You went too far by not even giving us a heads up."

Chu Jiaxue smiled faintly: "We just received our marriage certificate not long ago, and we haven’t even held a wedding banquet yet."

Just got the certificate?

That must be a joke.

Wang Jianbo laughed: "I never heard you had a boyfriend before, you kept it so tight. Suddenly you said you were married, it was quite a surprise."

Chu Jiaxue laughed: "My grandpa and Lin Chen’s master are old friends, our marriage was arranged by the two elders. Actually, Lin Chen and I haven’t known each other for too long. We got married first and then fell in love... "

Wang Jianbo was amazed. He had originally thought the man in front of him was a fake, but now that Chu Jiaxue had said this, he was no longer so sure.

"It’s such a modern age, and arranged marriages still exist?"

Wang Jianbo asked in doubt, and then looked at Lin Chen: "Mr. Lin, I don’t have any opinions on your marriage, just a little surprised."

No opinion?

You have a BIG opinion.

You are just short of carving disbelief and jealousy all over your face.

Lin Chen laughed: "I was quite surprised too when my master told me about it, just like you said, what kind of era is this? How could there still be arranged marriages? I hadn’t seen or experienced this before, so I was quite resistant at first. But my master’s orders were hard to defy, so I reluctantly came to Pingjiang. Fortunately, after spending time together, Jia Xue is beautiful, talented, and kind-hearted. I’m actually quite grateful to my master now."

Wang Jianbo’s heart was about to burst with anger.

You’re taking advantage of the situation and acting innocent!

Resistant?

What kind of resistance is that?

Such a beautiful woman, chased by others but out of their reach, and you resisted!

You’re blatantly showing off!

Chu Jiaxue’s eyes looked around, what Lin Chen said should be the truth.

He was also resistant to this arranged marriage at first.

Chu Jiaxue knew that she was very beautiful, but from the beginning until now, Lin Chen had never shown any unusual enthusiasm or initiative. They slept in the same room every day and he had always behaved impeccably, without any inappropriate words or actions.

Over time, Chu Jiaxue had understood that Lin Chen’s intention in playing the role of a fake husband and helping her without expecting anything in return was to repay her kindness, and eventually obtain the jade pendant.

Wang Jianbo laughed: "Chu Jiaxue was our school’s campus belle, a widely acknowledged goddess, and the dream lover of all the boys. If your words were heard by those male classmates, you’d probably get beaten up."

Lin Chen looked at Wang Jianbo with a smirk: "Do you want to beat me up too?"

Wang Jianbo was taken aback and then laughed: "To be honest, I am envious and jealous."

Lin Chen chuckled: "Well, that won’t work either, because you definitely can’t beat me."

Chu Jiaxue suddenly couldn’t help laughing, Lin Chen’s words were too funny.

Wang Jianbo’s face stiffened for a moment, and then he forced a smile: "Just joking, we wouldn’t really fight. I’m happy for Chu Jiaxue finding her happiness as a classmate... By the way, Mr. Lin, what do you do for a living?"

Lin Chen laughed: "I’ve been in the military for the past few years, just got discharged. Now I’m at Chuhe, living off my wife’s favor, following my wife around."

Wang Jianbo’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Living off his wife?

Eating off her?

"Uh, quite unexpected. Looking at Mr. Lin’s appearance and demeanor, I thought you had a successful career."

Lin Chen, seemingly oblivious to Wang Jianbo’s mockery, casually replied: "I don’t really care about my appearance. The watch was a gift from Jiaxue, and these clothes were bought today. I can dress casually at home, but I had to be more serious when meeting Jiaxue’s old classmates."

Chu Jiaxue didn’t expect Lin Chen to answer like this, she couldn’t help but pat Lin Chen’s arm, and chided: "What are you talking about? I gave you the watch because you did me a huge favor, as a token of my appreciation. Buying clothes is because you’re usually too lazy, and when I buy them for you, you don’t accept them..."

Lin Chen laughed: "It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter. Didn’t Jiaxue pay for the clothes today? Just don’t pay attention to the details."

Chu Jiaxue was helpless, smiling at Wang Jianbo: "He’s used to being alone and is very straightforward in his speech, don’t take it to heart."

"Mr. Lin is frank and straightforward, which is a good thing."

Wang Jianbo forced a smile on his face, his heart bleeding inside.

Lives off his wife?

He’s clearly a freeloader, but Chu Jiaxue is still desperately defending his face!

Why isn’t that person me?

In terms of appearance, family background, and ability, how am I not better than this freeloader?

Why did I lose?

Just because I don’t have an elder who is a good friend of your grandpa’s?
