Chapter 226: Chapter 246: Tell Me Quietly, I Won’t Tell Her _1

Lin Chen glanced at Lu Yan and found that he looked calm without any uneasiness, so he immediately understood.

Lu Yan probably didn’t care either. He should be well aware that with Xu Meiling’s family background, there was no chance for any real feelings or a future between them.

It was just a game, played willingly by both parties.

Leaving aside Xu Meiling’s identity as a wealthy daughter, given the opportunity, what man wouldn’t sleep with her based on her personal charms?

Zuo Yingying may have seen it all, which is why she could be so blunt about it, well aware that no one would care.

The dining table was temporarily peaceful.

Halfway through the meal, Zuo Yingying got up to go to the bathroom. Xu Meiling picked up her wine glass, "Lin Chen, how did you and Zuo Yingying meet?"

Lin Chen picked up his glass and clinked it with hers, "We met while playing games."

Xu Meiling was taken aback; she had not expected this answer.

"Playing games?"

Lin Chen replied, "We were in a bar, drinking at booths next to each other. I was playing games and lost a few in a row. She saw that I was playing poorly, so she teamed up with me to duo queue. That’s how we met."

Xu Meiling looked surprised; who knew that was possible?

"So what’s your relationship now? She seems so protective of you, as if she couldn’t bear to leave you when she went to the bathroom just now..."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "We are friends. She’s just afraid you’ll bully me."

Xu Meiling laughed out loud, her laughter making her body tremble and her cleavage heaving, drawing attention. "You’re a grown man and I’m a frail woman. How could I bully you? By the way, I like to play ranked games when I’m bored. Add me, and we can play together. I’m awesome!"

Lin Chen politely declined with a smile, "No need. I don’t really play that often."

Xu Meiling laughed softly, leaning closer to Lin Chen and whispering, "Don’t worry, I won’t tell Zuo Yingying. The more friends, the better, right? I love making friends."

As Xu Meiling bent down to talk to Lin Chen, her neckline opened up, revealing a deep cleavage that Lin Chen couldn’t help but stare into.

Lin Chen was speechless. She was trying such a trick on him, as if he had never seen a woman before?

If he really added her, she would surely continue with more tricks. If she wanted to embarrass Zuo Yingying in the short term, she could just tell her that her boyfriend had added her and even exchanged flirtatious messages, making Zuo Yingying angry.

If she wanted to be more advanced and devious, she could pretend to keep it a secret while flirting with him privately, like fishing, possibly even sleeping with him. Then, once she had collected all the evidence, she could tell Zuo Yingying, slapping her face hard.

Your charm is not enough.

Your boyfriend slept with me, so it proves your charm is not as great as mine.

He also said you have no fun in bed, like a wooden block.

Wouldn’t Zuo Yingying be furious?

Lin Chen smiled and directly refused, "No, Zuo Yingying will get angry if I add you."

Xu Meiling blinked, "You are really a gentle and principled man, no wonder Zuo Yingying cares about you so much."

Lin Chen didn’t fall for it, "Friends should always consider each other’s feelings."

Xu Meiling laughed but didn’t bring up adding contacts again. After all, she wasn’t sure whether Lin Chen was actually Zuo Yingying’s boyfriend. If he was, she would naturally increase the pressure, but if not, it would be a waste of effort, right?

Zuo Yingying returned and looked at Lin Chen and then at Xu Meiling, "Did she ask you to add her contact information?"

Lin Chen smiled, "Yes."

Zuo Yingying sneered, "She must have said that she wouldn’t tell me if you added her, right?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes."

Zuo Yingying looked sideways at Lin Chen, "You must have refused. What was your reason?"

Lin Chen answered, "Friends should consider each other’s feelings."

Zuo Yingying’s eyes brightened and a smile appeared on her face. She raised her glass to Lin Chen, "To friendship. Cheers."

Lin Chen smiled and clinked glasses with Zuo Yingying.

Xu Meiling showed no embarrassment at being exposed, naturally changing the subject, "My brother is going to race tonight."

Zuo Yingying looked puzzled, "Who’s he racing against?"

Xu Meiling replied, "A competitor, General Lu from Taian Biology. They are competing for a project’s bidding rights. They agreed to settle it with a race; whoever loses will give up."

Zuo Yingying frowned, "Taian Biology is also a big company. Who is the driver they hired?"

Xu Meiling shook her head, "I don’t know, but he must be a top-notch driver. After all, this project is worth ten billion, and completing it would bring at least 50% profit. In biotechnology, profit margins are very high. For this project, they can hire the most awesome drivers."

Zuo Yingying became more interested, "Does Xu Bin have enough confidence to race himself?"

Xu Meiling said proudly, "In other places, my brother may not beat those super racing drivers, but on this track, anyone who comes will lose!"
