147: Do You Want to Hold Arms or Something?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>_1 Accompany?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen slightly tilted his head in surprise: “A social engagement?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Jiaxue pursed her lips, her expression slightly unnatural: “Sort of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is my university classmate, from Xijing, and he owns a company in Linhai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He came to Pingjiang for some cooperation talks and invited me to dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the host, I couldn’t really refuse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen suddenly understood and smiled: “A pursuer?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Jiaxue nodded: “Yes, I told him that I’m already married, but he doesn’t believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even said that if I’m really married, he would invite both my husband and me to dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t want him to pester me, so I want to completely put an end to his thoughts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen laughed: “So this time, I’m not pretending to be a driver but a husband, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Jiaxue’s expression was a bit awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After telling him about it, she realized that it might be a bit improper to ask Lin Chen for this favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This nominal husband hadn’t taken any advantage, but still had to play the role of her husband without gaining any real benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Never mind…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll bring my marriage certificate, that should be enough to prove that I’m married.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen laughed: “Since he’s come all the way to Pingjiang, he must be a die-hard pursuer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if you show your marriage certificate, I’m afraid it won’t help much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, being married doesn’t mean you can’t divorce…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have nothing better to do anyway, so I’ll accompany you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Jiaxue stared at Lin Chen’s hearty smile, her eyes slightly puzzled: “Aren’t you angry?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen was taken aback: “Why should I be angry?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Jiaxue candidly replied: “You and I are fake husband and wife, but I also want you to support and protect me without giving you any real benefits…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen laughed: “I thought it was something serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although we’re not real husband and wife, we can still be considered friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s nothing wrong with helping each other out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, now that I’m helping you, I’m just returning the favor you did for me before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You don’t have to feel embarrassed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning the favor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Lin Chen always maintained a calm attitude, even when she made various requests, he still complied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turns out that he was dealing with her with the intention of repaying her kindness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Jiaxue’s mood became a bit subtle, as if everything was within reason, yet she felt an inexplicable sense of loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen joked: “I get to enjoy a lavish meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s great.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Jiaxue glanced at Lin Chen’s T-shirt and thought for a moment: “We have time now, let’s go shopping at the mall.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen instantly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he was going to appear as Chu Jiaxue’s husband, wearing a cheap T-shirt didn’t seem quite appropriate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might be ridiculed for it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’ll buy some decent clothes to improve my appearance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After having breakfast, Chu Jiaxue and Lin Chen drove to the mall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they entered the mall, Lin Chen became a walking clothes hanger, constantly changing the clothes that Chu Jiaxue picked for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sales assistants looked on with subtle expressions on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen and Chu Jiaxue were both handsome and beautiful, but Lin Chen’s outfit added up to less than a thousand yuan, while Chu Jiaxue was dressed head-to-toe in designer clothes, exuding elegance and looking like the epitome of White, Rich, and Beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A poor young man climbs the social ladder with a wealthy woman and reaches the peak of life?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must be a gigolo taken care of by a rich woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they continued shopping, Lin Chen changed his entire outfit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People are judged by their clothes and horses by their saddles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dressed in his new attire, Lin Chen transformed from a poor young man to an elegant gentleman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His laid-back and casual demeanor added an unrestrained charm to his manly allure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So handsome!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Jiaxue’s eyes sparkled with admiration as she quietly praised Lin Chen’s good looks and temperament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He truly had the air of a male god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for the numerous troubles she was facing, Chu Jiaxue would want to turn their fake marriage into a real one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the evening, Lin Chen drove Chu Jiaxue to the restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting out of the car, Lin Chen smiled and said: “Do you want to hook arms or something?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Jiaxue’s cheeks reddened slightly: “Okay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen joked: “Be natural, or our act will backfire.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Jiaxue nodded in agreement, as if to explain her awkwardness: “I’ve never hooked anyone’s arm before, so I don’t have any experience.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen reassured her with a smile: “Just think of it as etiquette between men and women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look at all the award ceremonies, female guests always hook their arms with the male guests.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Lin Chen’s words, Chu Jiaxue’s nervousness subsided quite a bit, and the action of hooking arms with Lin Chen suddenly became much more natural and smooth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her classmate Wang Jianbo had already arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chu Jiaxue walk into the restaurant with Lin Chen’s arm hooked, his handsome face instantly turned gloomy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Jiaxue said she was already married, but Wang Jianbo didn’t believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d always been paying attention to Chu Jiaxue’s situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t she busy managing the Chuhe Group?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t even had a boyfriend for such a long time, so how could she suddenly be married?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps Chu Jiaxue said this on purpose, just to make him give up chasing her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the man who suddenly appeared, Wang Jianbo tended to believe that he was Chu Jiaxue’s friend or an actor hired by Chu Jiaxue just to put on a show for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Chen and Chu Jiaxue approached, Wang Jianbo glanced at them a few times, his eyes filled with uncertainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy was very manly, very handsome, and dressed in all brand-name clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wore a Patek Philippe watch worth millions on his wrist, and had a laid-back, idle air of a wealthy young master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His appearance with Chu Jiaxue seemed inexplicably well-matched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Jianbo suddenly became unsure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that they were really married?\u003C\u002Fp>",1057,"2026-06-06T01:51:32.142Z",1,"novelbin.me","ed0144f8db89e72049c93fde887bb06bdcdc377532a2c67f3e1bcaf87f7bc9b6","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-128","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-126",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
