The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 147 How about we link arms or something?
accompany?
Lin Chen turned his head slightly in surprise: "Socializing?"

Chu Jiaxue pursed her lips, her expression slightly unnatural: "Sort of. He's my college classmate. He's from Xijing and runs a company in Linhai. He came to Pingjiang this time to discuss some kind of cooperation and said he wanted to treat me to dinner. I'm the host, so I couldn't refuse."

Lin Chen suddenly realized and laughed, "A suitor?"

Chu Jiaxue nodded: "Right, I told him I was already married, but he didn't believe me. He even said that if I really was married, he would invite my husband and me to dinner. I didn't want him to pester me, so I wanted to completely put an end to his idea."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "So this time I'm not playing the driver, but the husband, right?"

Chu Jiaxue looked a little embarrassed. After she told Lin Chen about it, she realized that it seemed a bit unfair to ask him for help. This nominal husband hadn't gotten any benefits from her, yet he was still playing the role of her husband, which didn't bring her any advantages.

"Never mind... I'll bring my marriage certificate; that should prove I'm married."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "You've chased me all the way to Pingjiang. Looks like you're a die-hard pursuer. Even if you show me your marriage certificate, it probably won't do you any good. After all, you can get divorced even if you're married... I'm free anyway, so I'll go with you."

Chu Jiaxue stared at Lin Chen's cheerful smile, her eyes slightly puzzled: "Aren't you angry?"

Lin Chen was taken aback: "Why should I be angry?"

Chu Jiaxue answered frankly, "We're a fake couple, but I still expect you to protect me from the wind and rain, without giving you any real benefits..."

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "I thought it was something. We're married, after all. Even if we're not a real couple, we can still be considered friends. What's wrong with helping each other out? Besides, if I help you now, it's just to repay a favor I owed you before. You don't need to feel embarrassed."

Should we repay the favor?

No wonder Lin Chen always maintained a peaceful mindset. He complied with all my requests. It turns out he was interacting with me out of a sense of repaying a favor.

Chu Jiaxue's feelings were somewhat complicated. Everything seemed to make sense, yet she also felt a strange sense of loss.

"Okay, please."

Lin Chen joked, "It's great to get another free meal."

Chu Jiaxue glanced at the T-shirt Lin Chen was wearing and thought for a moment, "We have some time now, let's go shopping at the mall."

Lin Chen immediately understood. Since he was to appear as Chu Jiaxue's husband, it did seem a bit inappropriate for him to be wearing a T-shirt that cost only a few dozen yuan. There was bound to be another round of ridicule.

"Okay, I'll go buy some decent clothes and decorate the storefront."

After Chu Jiaxue finished breakfast, the two drove to the mall.

Once inside the mall, Lin Chen became a walking clothes rack, constantly changing into the clothes Chu Jiaxue had picked out for him, which made the sales clerks next to him look rather subtle.

Lin Chen and Chu Jiaxue are a perfect match, but Lin Chen's clothes together cost less than a thousand yuan, while Chu Jiaxue is dressed in designer brands, exuding elegance and clearly a wealthy and beautiful woman. Will this poor boy climb the social ladder by marrying this rich and beautiful woman and reach the pinnacle of life?
Is he some gigolo being kept by a rich woman?

As he strolled around, Lin Chen changed his entire outfit. Clothes make the man, and with the change of clothes, Lin Chen seemed like a completely different person, transforming from a poor boy into a young master from a noble family. In particular, Lin Chen's lazy composure added a touch of untamed masculinity to his appearance.

So handsome!

Chu Jiaxue's eyes lit up as she looked at him, secretly admiring his looks and demeanor—truly the image of a male god.

If it weren't for the many troubles she was facing, Chu Jiaxue would have wanted to turn their fake marriage into a real one.

In the evening, Lin Chen drove Chu Jiaxue to the restaurant.

After getting out of the car, Lin Chen smiled and said, "Want to link arms or something?"

Chu Jiaxue's face flushed slightly: "Okay!"

Lin Chen joked, "Be natural, otherwise, you'll end up giving yourself away instead of acting."

Chu Jiaxue hummed in agreement, seemingly explaining her unease: "I've never linked arms with anyone before, so I have no experience."

Lin Chen smiled and reassured him, "Just think of it as proper etiquette between men and women. You see, at many award ceremonies, female guests are always holding the arms of male guests."

Lin Chen's words immediately eased Chu Jiaxue's tension, and her movements as she took Lin Chen's arm became much more natural and fluid.

Chu Jiaxue's classmate Wang Jianbo had already arrived. Seeing Chu Jiaxue walk into the restaurant arm in arm with Lin Chen, his handsome face instantly turned gloomy.

Chu Jiaxue said she was already married, but Wang Jianbo didn't believe her.

He had been keeping an eye on Chu Jiaxue's situation. Wasn't she busy managing the Chuhe Group? She had always had a boyfriend, so why would she suddenly get married?
Chu Jiaxue might have said that on purpose, hoping to make me give up pursuing her.

As for the man who suddenly appeared in front of him, Wang Jianbo was more inclined to believe that he was Chu Jiaxue's friend, or simply an actor hired by Chu Jiaxue to put on a show for him.

As Lin Chen and Chu Jiaxue approached, Wang Jianbo glanced at them, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

The man was very manly and handsome, dressed in designer clothes, and wearing a new Patek Philippe worth millions on his wrist. He exuded a calm and lazy air of a wealthy young master, and he and Chu Jiaxue seemed to be a strangely compatible match.

Wang Jianbo suddenly became unsure.

Did they really get married?
