148: Can’t Figure It Out, Where Did I Lose?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>_1 “Hello, Wang Jianbo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Chen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen and Wang Jianbo shook hands and then Lin Chen very gentlemanly pulled out a chair for Chu Jiaxue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Wang Jianbo felt a sudden sourness in his heart, burning with jealousy, and pretended to complain: “Chu Jiaxue, you got married so secretly, none of our classmates knew about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You went too far by not even giving us a heads up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Jiaxue smiled faintly: “We just received our marriage certificate not long ago, and we haven’t even held a wedding banquet yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just got the certificate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That must be a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Jianbo laughed: “I never heard you had a boyfriend before, you kept it so tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly you said you were married, it was quite a surprise.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Jiaxue laughed: “My grandpa and Lin Chen’s master are old friends, our marriage was arranged by the two elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, Lin Chen and I haven’t known each other for too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We got married first and then fell in love…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Jianbo was amazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had originally thought the man in front of him was a fake, but now that Chu Jiaxue had said this, he was no longer so sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s such a modern age, and arranged marriages still exist?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Jianbo asked in doubt, and then looked at Lin Chen: “Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin, I don’t have any opinions on your marriage, just a little surprised.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No opinion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You have a BIG opinion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You are just short of carving disbelief and jealousy all over your face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen laughed: “I was quite surprised too when my master told me about it, just like you said, what kind of era is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could there still be arranged marriages?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hadn’t seen or experienced this before, so I was quite resistant at first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But my master’s orders were hard to defy, so I reluctantly came to Pingjiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, after spending time together, Jia Xue is beautiful, talented, and kind-hearted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m actually quite grateful to my master now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Jianbo’s heart was about to burst with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re taking advantage of the situation and acting innocent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resistant?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of resistance is that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a beautiful woman, chased by others but out of their reach, and you resisted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re blatantly showing off!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Jiaxue’s eyes looked around, what Lin Chen said should be the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also resistant to this arranged marriage at first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Jiaxue knew that she was very beautiful, but from the beginning until now, Lin Chen had never shown any unusual enthusiasm or initiative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They slept in the same room every day and he had always behaved impeccably, without any inappropriate words or actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over time, Chu Jiaxue had understood that Lin Chen’s intention in playing the role of a fake husband and helping her without expecting anything in return was to repay her kindness, and eventually obtain the jade pendant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Jianbo laughed: “Chu Jiaxue was our school’s campus belle, a widely acknowledged goddess, and the dream lover of all the boys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If your words were heard by those male classmates, you’d probably get beaten up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen looked at Wang Jianbo with a smirk: “Do you want to beat me up too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Jianbo was taken aback and then laughed: “To be honest, I am envious and jealous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen chuckled: “Well, that won’t work either, because you definitely can’t beat me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Jiaxue suddenly couldn’t help laughing, Lin Chen’s words were too funny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Jianbo’s face stiffened for a moment, and then he forced a smile: “Just joking, we wouldn’t really fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m happy for Chu Jiaxue finding her happiness as a classmate…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin, what do you do for a living?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen laughed: “I’ve been in the military for the past few years, just got discharged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now I’m at Chuhe, living off my wife’s favor, following my wife around.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Jianbo’s eyes widened in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Living off his wife?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eating off her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh, quite unexpected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin’s appearance and demeanor, I thought you had a successful career.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen, seemingly oblivious to Wang Jianbo’s mockery, casually replied: “I don’t really care about my appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The watch was a gift from Jiaxue, and these clothes were bought today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can dress casually at home, but I had to be more serious when meeting Jiaxue’s old classmates.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Jiaxue didn’t expect Lin Chen to answer like this, she couldn’t help but pat Lin Chen’s arm, and chided: “What are you talking about?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I gave you the watch because you did me a huge favor, as a token of my appreciation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buying clothes is because you’re usually too lazy, and when I buy them for you, you don’t accept them…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen laughed: “It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t Jiaxue pay for the clothes today?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just don’t pay attention to the details.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Jiaxue was helpless, smiling at Wang Jianbo: “He’s used to being alone and is very straightforward in his speech, don’t take it to heart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin is frank and straightforward, which is a good thing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Jianbo forced a smile on his face, his heart bleeding inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lives off his wife?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s clearly a freeloader, but Chu Jiaxue is still desperately defending his face!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why isn’t that person me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of appearance, family background, and ability, how am I not better than this freeloader?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did I lose?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just because I don’t have an elder who is a good friend of your grandpa’s?\u003C\u002Fp>",941,"2026-06-06T01:51:32.142Z",1,"novelbin.me","1169520ad859b59b540cf29fc9b379c3f725668260e6d7bbb91198c140785bf7","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-129","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-127",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
