You're wasting money again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is your injury alright now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan shook his head, \"It's been fine for a while now. After the cast comes off in a bit, I'll be able to walk as swiftly as ever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're talking nonsense again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By this time, the three girls behind her had finally caught up, their eyes curiously examining Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ruochu, aren't you going to introduce us?\" teased one of the girls who was very fashionably dressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu held the flowers, looking a bit embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me introduce you. These are my dormitory roommates, Sun Xiaoxiao, Xu Ting, and Lin Yumo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled as he looked over the three girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Xiaoxiao was wearing denim shorts, her long legs very eye-catching, with a V-neck T-shirt on top, looking quite bold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ting was a short girl less than 1.6 meters tall, with short hair and even some baby fat on her face, a typical baby-faced look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Su Ruochu hadn't introduced her, Chen Fan would have thought she was a high school student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Lin Yumo, she was the most fashionable of the four, with exquisite makeup, wearing a beautiful tube skirt, high-heeled crystal shoes, and carrying an LV bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Su Ruochu could speak, Sun Xiaoxiao teasingly said, \"So you're Ruochu's boyfriend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Su Ruochu, holding the flowers, smiled and moved closer, linking her arm with Chen Fan's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's not my boyfriend, he's my fiance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three girls' eyes widened, somewhat incredulous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"fiance? You two are engaged?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yumo's gaze swept over the Passat parked next to Chen Fan, and when she noticed it had Beijing license plates, she thought she had figured something out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled and greeted them, \"Hello, beautiful ladies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ting waved her hand, asking curiously,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you two really engaged?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When you meet such an unbelievably beautiful girlfriend, of course you have to act fast and secure the relationship. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three girls were amused, and Xu Ting covered her mouth, laughing lightly, \"You're really funny.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu explained, \"Chen Fan and I were classmates and deskmates in high school, and we studied the same major in university. We dated for 4 years and got engaged after graduating from college.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Really?\" Sun Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, \"I thought you were joking with us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not joking, it's true. Chen Fan is my fiance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yumo curiously looked Chen Fan over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... you said you two were high school classmates? Then how come you're driving a car with Beijing plates?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled and explained, \"This car belongs to a friend. I borrowed it to drive for a few days while I'm in Beijing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh. I see.\" Lin Yumo nodded, realizing she had guessed wrong earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, seeing Chen Fan arrive in a car with Beijing plates, she thought their relationship might be something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ting teasingly said with a grin,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder you rejected all those pursuers at our school, Ruochu. So you were already engaged.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Xiaoxiao suddenly exclaimed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, then what about our school's handsome senior brother...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Sun Xiaoxiao suddenly realized she had misspoken and quickly shut her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, Xu Ting and Lin Yumo exchanged glances and giggled silently, clearly understanding what she meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu, however, didn't mind at all and looked at Chen Fan with a face full of happiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How long are you staying in Beijing this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled and said, \"I'm not sure yet. I'm here on a business trip, so probably two or three days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's great. You can spend more time with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was evident that Chen Fan's arrival had made Su Ruochu very surprised and delighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled and said, \"I have nothing to do this afternoon, so I can stay with you the whole time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu happily linked her arm with Chen Fan's, \"You haven't been to our school before, right? Do you want to go in and look around?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can cars enter your school?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They can if you register.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh right, I brought you a gift too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Chen Fan turned and opened the car door, taking out a shopping bag from the trunk in the back seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here, a gift for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow! It's a Gucci bag!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Xiaoxiao, with her sharp eyes, noticed first and couldn't help but exclaim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu looked a bit embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did you buy a gift? The bag I'm using is still fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled sheepishly and said, \"Isn't there a saying? A girl's closet is always missing one more bag.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can never have too many of these. You can switch between them in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Xiaoxiao mumbled beside them, \"Ruochu, your fiance is so good to you. If my boyfriend could be half as good as him, I'd be smiling even in my dreams.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Su Ruochu holding the shopping bag awkwardly, Sun Xiaoxiao urged, \"Open it and let us see too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Su Ruochu open the bag and take out the handbag inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's so beautiful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Xiaoxiao and Xu Ting exclaimed in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undeniably, women have an innate weakness for items like handbags.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Lin Yumo spoke up with some surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This bag... I think I've seen this bag in a magazine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's Gucci's latest limited edition from this year. It costs nearly 100,000 yuan each.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, all four girls were startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan shrugged and explained to Su Ruochu,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't really understand these things. I just thought this bag would suit your style, so I bought it casually.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three girls looked at the bag in Su Ruochu's hands with envy written all over their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Lin Yumo, who loved luxury goods the most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was carrying an LV bag right now, though it was a second-hand one she bought herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, looking at the limited edition bag in Su Ruochu's hands, it was impossible not to be envious. She almost wanted to snatch it away to admire it closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze shifted to Su Ruochu's boyfriend, then casually swept over to the back seat of the car beside them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yumo's expression suddenly froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt as if her breathing had stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the trunk of the back seat, there were many shopping bags piled up, with several designer handbags among them.\u003C\u002Fp>",1379,"2026-06-05T15:06:59.735Z",1,"novelbin.me","e4c90df20b25d80f8a412d9ea66091010e6aef2fb46942069a4aa2295042b0a1","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-582","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-580",761,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-cover.jpg"]
