Chapter 2398: Just a Meal

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chu Peihan understood that Han Chenglin was their target when they came to talk to her. Because although they talked to her, they were staring at Han Chenglin the entire time.

Chu Peihan gave Han Chenglin a cold glance. Whenever she was with him, she would always encounter trouble.

Han Chenglin felt he was innocent, because he had done nothing wrong!

Even though Chu Peihan understood that they targeted Han Chenglin, she had to be polite since they greeted her, so she said in a flat voice, “Hi, what a coincidence!”

“Is this your boyfriend?” one girl asked. She was the Deputy Class Leader of their class, Liu Lufei.

Upon thinking that such a handsome man might be Chu Peihan’s boyfriend, Liu Lufei and the other girls got jealous. Why could Chu Peihan have a powerful family and a handsome boyfriend? Moreover, given the man’s clothes and his watch which was from an international brand, he must be rich too.

“Yeah, I’m Peihan’s boyfriend,” said Han Chenglin before Chu Peihan opened her mouth. He didn’t mean to embarrass Chu Peihan at this moment, although he wanted to see her reaction after he said that.

In fact, he could see what Liu Lufei wanted to do. If he didn’t say that he was Chu Peihan’s boyfriend, Liu Lufei would start to strike up a conversation with him, and he didn’t want to waste time on her! Therefore, he directly said that he was Chu Peihan’s boyfriend to keep the girl away.

Chu Peihan, however, gave Han Chenglin a glare. Since when did he become her boyfriend?

She understood that Han Chenglin purposely said that to Liu Lufei because he was Liu Lufei’s target.

If she denied it, Liu Lufei would certainly strike up a conversation with Han Chenglin. Therefore, Han Chenglin simply wanted to keep his distance from Liu Lufei.

Chu Peihan was a little displeased, but didn’t deny it. She didn’t care whether Liu Lufei misunderstood their relationship. Anyway, she could kick Han Chenglin away after she got a real boyfriend.

Han Chenglin didn’t miss Chu Peihan’s reaction. Although she disliked what he said, she didn’t deny it, which meant she didn’t hate him.

It wasn’t very satisfying, but it wasn’t too bad. Perhaps he was losing his patience.

Hearing Han Chenglin’s reply, Liu Lufei and the other girls were disappointed, but they weren’t surprised because they had thought that they might be a couple.

“Alright, we have to leave now. Enjoy yourself.” Han Chenglin then ignored the girls and left holding Chu Peihan’s hand.

Chu Peihan struggled a little in vain before she eventually accepted it.

In fact, if Chu Peihan really wanted to get rid of him, it was impossible for Han Chenglin to hold her hand. After all, compared with Chu Peihan, Han Chenglin was too weak.

Chu Peihan gave up simply because she didn’t want Liu Lufei to laugh at her. She just agreed that Han Chenglin was her boyfriend, so she couldn’t get rid of him right now.

“Well, since we have met and it’s time for dinner, why don’t we sit together?” Liu Lufei suddenly stopped them.

Although she knew that the man was Chu Peihan’s boyfriend and she didn’t dare to do anything to him, she still wanted to know more about such a handsome man.

“Sorry, we already have an appointment, and we’re not familiar enough to share a meal,” said Chu Peihan in a flat voice. Afterwards, she left Liu Lufei behind and quickly walked away with Han Chenglin.

They were indeed unfamiliar, so Chu Peihan didn’t hesitate to embarrass her.

Liu Lufei was furious. She knew that Chu Peihan did it deliberately, but she couldn’t do anything about it because she didn’t dare to anger Chu Peihan. If Chu Peihan was angered, she might be beaten.

“Chu Peihan is as arrogant as always. I think she’ll cause herself trouble sooner or later if she doesn’t change,” said Girl A. She only dared to bad-mouth Chu Peihan now that Chu Peihan was far away.

“Right, I wonder whether she’ll be arrogant when she’s amongst kids of wealth and power. If she annoys those trust fund kids, she might be punished seriously,” said Girl B.

Although Chu Peihan was born in an influential family, her family only had influence in City F. It meant nothing after she went to the capital.

“I bet she has already been punished many times,” said Girl A. She wasn’t sure of it, but she hoped that it had happened to Chu Peihan.

“Did you forget that Chu Peihan and Gu Ning are close friends? Gu Ning has unbelievable connections. Chu Peihan will be fine unless she offends someone who has a very high status,” said Liu Lufei. She had heard a lot about Gu Ning.

Hearing that, Girl A and Girl B closed their mouths. They almost forgot that!

…

Chu Peihan held Han Chenglin’s hand so he felt very excited, although he knew it was just an act.

When they had walked far away, Chu Peihan let Han Chenglin go at once. Han Chenglin felt upset, but didn’t show his feelings, nor did he say anything.

Chu Peihan felt it was weird when she held Han Chenglin’s hand. She didn’t hate it, but her heart was pounding.

However, Chu Peihan composed herself, because she didn’t want Han Chenglin to know what she was thinking. It would be embarrassing.

“There is always trouble when I’m with you.” Chu Peihan complained.

“Well, how about this? I’ll buy a meal for you this afternoon to make it up to you,” said Han Chenglin. He asked Chu Peihan out to see her, so he had no intention of asking her to buy him a meal.

“You came to my city. I should pay the bill. It’s just a meal. I can afford it,” said Chu Peihan. She couldn’t forget her manners.

“Fine, you can buy me a meal this afternoon, and I’ll buy you a meal after I finish my work tomorrow.” Han Chenglin stopped arguing with Chu Peihan, and instead directly used that excuse to ask her out again tomorrow.

“Sure!” Chu Peihan didn’t think further about it. She thought it was acceptable, so she agreed.

When Chu Peihan wasn’t paying attention to him, Han Chenglin put on a satisfied smile.

After that, they got in the car and left.
