Knowing that Mrs. Gao was used to sleeping late, Liang Mulan hurriedly went upstairs to call Mrs. Gao. She then asked Mrs. Gao if she could give the two kids another chance to go on a date.

  Logically speaking, if your son didn’t take a fancy to their daughter after meeting up with her, and now he’s asking for another date with her, the woman’s mother was definitely going to make her appear hard-to-get!

  Liang Mulan was already prepared to be made difficult for her son. She didn’t expect Mrs. Gao to agree so readily. She even took the initiative to set the dinner up for tomorrow.

  After hanging up the call, Liang Mulan couldn’t believe that it went so smoothly. Could it be there was something about Miss Gao that her family was trying to hide? Did Miss Gao, perhaps, have some kind of illness?

  Liang Mulan almost hit the nail on its head……

  This young lady from the Gao family already had someone that she liked…… but that person was a woman. This made Mrs. Gao worried.

  When her daughter came back from having a meal with Lin Chen last time, Mrs. Gao saw that her daughter actually blushed when they talked about Lin Chen. Therefore, Mrs. Gao felt that Lin Chen might be able to cure her daughter’s fondness for women. Alas, Lin Chen hadn’t taken a fancy to her daughter, and she had been worrying about this for a long time.

  Now that Lin Chen suddenly agreed to have another meal with her daughter, Mrs. Gao naturally and happily agreed to it.

  Putting aside the fact that Lin Chen’s family background and capabilities were top-notch, even if Lin Chen was a poor lad, as long as he was a man…… she was willing to lower herself to let her daughter return to normal and like men.

  Therefore, Lin Chen and Miss Gao’s date was set up by the parents on the following night.

  During dinner that night, Lin Chen and Miss Gao had confirmed their relationship as a couple.

  The two of them talked about this deal in a business manner……

  Miss Gao could be friends with the person she liked in the future, but at least in Haicheng, she couldn’t let others see them being intimate in public.

  Lin Chen would also attend any gatherings with Miss Gao as her boyfriend.

  If Lin Chen met someone he liked in the future, then Miss Gao would break up with him. If Lin Chen didn’t meet someone he liked in the end, then…… Miss Gao and Lin Chen could get married, and after they got married, they could also give birth to Lin Chen’s child through the In-Vitro Fertilisation method.

  This method was indeed suitable for two people who didn’t wish to have a baby in a normal manner.

  After the two of them came to an agreement, Lin Chen sent Gao Jingjie home as his “boyfriend”. On the way…… Gao Jingjie bought a bouquet of flowers at the flower shop to show her parents that she’d gotten it from him.

  Lin Chen nodded and apologized, then said politely to Gao Jingjie, “I’ll take note of these small details in the future. If you have any ideas, you can tell me.”


  When Gao Jingjie’s parents saw Lin Chen sending Gao Jingjie to their doorstep, the old couple almost burst into tears……

  They hid in the dark and watched secretly. Gao Jingjie was on her guard, so she hugged Lin Chen at the door. “Sorry, my parents are watching……”


  Lin Chen nodded in understanding and watched as Gao Jingjie entered the villa before driving off.

  Gao Jingjie changed her shoes and entered the house. Indeed, her parents were standing at the door, smiling as they watched the flowers in Gao Jingjie’s arms…… Their eyes filled with tears.

  Finally, their daughter was taken over by a man, not a woman……

  Indeed, it was not that women wanted to be gay, but many men were just not outstanding enough. Gao Jingjie had been on blind dates with so many men, but none could move Gao Jingjie’s heart!

  Now that she had finally met such an outstanding man like Lin Chen, Gao Jingjie finally decided to get together with a man.

  After Lin Chen sent Gao Jingjie home, it started to rain.

  Lin Chen glanced at his wristwatch and didn’t return to the Lins’ house. After giving Liang Mulan a call, he drove to his apartment in the city.

  Ever since Jian Qiqi begged her family to buy an apartment in the same building as Lin Chen’s, Lin Chen didn’t return to the apartment much. After work, he would return to the Lins’ house. But because Lin Chen had an early meeting the following morning, and if he were to go back at this hour, Liang Mulan would definitely be waiting for him to ask him about the details of his date with Gao Jingjie. Therefore…… Lin Chen still decided to return to his own apartment to avoid his mother. He felt that he shouldn’t be that unlucky that he’d cross paths with Jian Qiqi that evening.

  Lin Chen drove his car to the entrance of the building. He then got out of the car to buy a pack of cigarettes at the convenience store just across the street. By the time he came out, the rain was already pouring heavily.

  He stood at the entrance of the convenience store and shook out a cigarette from the opening of its box and put it at the corner of his lips. He lowered his head to protect the lighter with one hand as he lit the cigarette.

  “Jian Qiqi!”


  Hearing a sharp female voice calling out Jian Qiqi’s name, Lin Chen frowned and looked up……

  In the rain that was like a thin line, Jian Qiqi was wearing a human-shaped umbrella. She was wearing a white shirt and black sweatpants. Her legs were long and straight, and she had a slight smile on her lips.

  Lu Yunfan, who was standing opposite Jian Qiqi in a white t-shirt, jeans, and white shoes, clenched her fists tightly. Her chest was heaving up and down furiously as she glared at Jian Qiqi with reddened eyes.

  Lin Chen recognized the girl that called out to Jian Qiqi…… She was the younger daughter of the Lu family in Wei City, Lu Yunfan.

  Speaking of which, Lin Chen had been pestered by Jian Qiqi because of this young lady, Lu Yunfan.

  Lin Chen had a meeting in Wei City, and Lu Yunfan would always drag Jian Qiqi to look for Lin Chen with all sorts of excuses.

  Lin Chen narrowed his eyes. Although he wasn’t interested in the young lady’s quarrels, it wasn’t wise for him to go over now. Lin Chen didn’t want to be entangled with any of them.

  “Why must it be Lin Chen? You clearly know…… I really like Lin Chen! Why must you use someone to woo Lin Chen and make a bet with him? Why must you use this to compete with me?” Lu Yunfan’s throat choked. “You can compete with me, and you can make a bet with me on anything else. Why must it be Lin Chen?”


  Lu Yunfan choked.

  If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have dragged Jian Qiqi to come to look for Lin Chen with her.

  “What’s the point of betting on other things……” Jian Qiqi smiled as she looked at Lu Yunfan, who was standing in the rain. “The man you like has been wooed by me. This is the only way to prove that I’m stronger than you. Moreover, I know many girls like Lin Chen. If I succeed in wooing him, wouldn’t it mean that not only I’ve defeated you, but I’ve defeated those girls too? So why shouldn’t I go for Lin Chen?”


  Lu Yunfan clenched her fists tightly……

  “Why? Don’t you have confidence in yourself? Ever since you transferred to our school, all the teachers and classmates said…… that you, Lu Yunfan, not only are you good at your studies, but you’re also pretty. Ever since you came here, you’ve been better than me in every way.” Jian Qiqi smiled. “Don’t you think that you’re all that yourself? You think that you’re the best in the world, so why are you afraid to compete with me?”
