The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 148 I can't figure it out, where did we lose?

"Hello, Wang Jianbo."

"Lin Chen."

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

Seeing this, Wang Jianbo felt a pang of jealousy and said with feigned complaint, "Chu Jiaxue, you got married so quietly, none of your classmates knew. This is too much! You didn't even tell them."

Chu Jiaxue smiled slightly: "We just got our marriage certificate not long ago, and we haven't even had the wedding banquet yet."

Just got your marriage certificate?
That's just a hoax.

Wang Jianbo laughed and said, "I've never heard of you having a boyfriend before. You kept it a secret so well. It's quite surprising that you suddenly announced your marriage."

Chu Jiaxue smiled and said, "My grandfather and Lin Chen's master are old friends. Our marriage was arranged directly by the two elders. Actually, Lin Chen and I haven't known each other for very long. We got married first and then fell in love..."

Wang Jianbo was stunned. He had already decided that the man in front of him was a fake, but after Chu Jiaxue said that, Wang Jianbo was no longer sure.

"What era are we living in? There are still people arranging marriages with their elders?"

Wang Jianbo asked in confusion, then looked at Lin Chen: "Mr. Lin, I don't have any objection to your marriage, I'm just a little surprised."

No comment?
You have a lot of opinions.

You practically have disbelief and jealousy written all over your face.

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I was also very surprised when my master told me about this. Just like you said, what era is this? How can there still be arranged marriages? I've never seen or had any contact with them. Actually, I was also very resistant, but I couldn't disobey my master's orders, so I had to bite the bullet and come to Pingjiang. Fortunately, after getting to know Jia Xue, I found that she is beautiful, capable, and kind-hearted. I am somewhat grateful to my master."

Wang Jianbo was furious.

You're being hypocritical, you got the benefit but are still acting innocent!

resist?

What are you resisting for?!

Such a beautiful woman, others would chase after her but couldn't get her, they would dream of having her, and you're still resisting!

You're clearly showing off!

Chu Jiaxue's beautiful eyes flickered; Lin Chen must have been telling the truth.

Lin Chen initially resisted this arranged marriage, and he probably did too.

Chu Jiaxue knew she was beautiful, but from beginning to end, Lin Chen did not show any unusual enthusiasm or initiative. Even when they slept in the same room, Lin Chen behaved himself and did not say or do anything inappropriate.

After a while, Chu Jiaxue had come to understand that Lin Chen was pretending to be her husband, and that his selfless help to her was all motivated by a desire to repay a favor and ultimately obtain the jade pendant. Wang Jianbo laughed and said, "Chu Jiaxue is our school's most beautiful girl, a universally acknowledged goddess, and the dream girl of all the boys. If those male classmates heard you say that, they would probably get beaten up."

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

Wang Jianbo paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Indeed, a mixture of envy and jealousy."

Lin Chen chuckled: "That won't work either, because you definitely can't beat me."

Chu Jiaxue couldn't help but burst out laughing; Lin Chen's words were hilarious.

Wang Jianbo's face stiffened for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Just kidding, how could we really fight? As her classmate, I'm happy for Chu Jiaxue that she has found her happiness... By the way, Mr. Lin, what do you do for a living?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I was in the army for the past few years. I just got discharged and now I'm in Chuhe, benefiting from my wife's fame and following her around."

Wang Jianbo's eyes widened in disbelief.

Relying on his wife?

Eating soft food?
"Well, that's a bit of a surprise. Mr. Lin is such a handsome man, and his attire and demeanor made me think he was a successful entrepreneur."

Lin Chen seemed oblivious to the sarcasm in Wang Jianbo's words and casually replied, "I don't usually care much about what I wear. The watch was a gift from Jiaxue, and I just bought this outfit today. I can wear whatever I want at home, but when I meet Jiaxue's old classmate, I should dress more formally."

Chu Jiaxue didn't expect Lin Chen's answer, and couldn't help but slap Lin Chen's arm, saying reproachfully, "What are you saying? I gave you the watch because you helped me a lot, and I wanted to express my gratitude. As for buying clothes, it's because you're usually lazy, and you wouldn't accept them even when I bought them for you..."

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "It's not important, it's not important. You paid for the clothes today, so don't worry about the details."

Chu Jiaxue sighed and smiled at Wang Jianbo, "He's used to being a loner and speaks his mind, so don't take it to heart."

"Mr. Lin speaks frankly, which is good."

Wang Jianbo forced a smile, but his heart was bleeding.

Is he trying to live off a woman?

He's clearly a freeloader, and he's so shameless, yet Chu Jiaxue is still desperately trying to save face for him!

Why isn't this person me?

In terms of looks, family background, and abilities, how am I not better than this gigolo?
Where did I go wrong?

Just because I don't have an elder who was good friends with your grandfather?
