CH 20.1

Li Ran was Chu Chen's flash marriage partner?

Huo Ling's eyes were full of astonishment, and his eyes turned back and forth between the two of them.

No matter how he looked at it, these two people didn't seem like people who could live together in the same place.

One of them always looked affectionate, and there had been many bad rumors about him in the past. Although it was true that Huo Ling misunderstood him this time, but Chu Chen really loved to play, and it couldn't be a lie.

Someone like him was destined to be impossible to get married. Even if he was married, there was a high chance of finding someone outside.

And the other's expression was always indifferent, but it could be seen that he was very imposing and had a serious personality. Unfortunately, his spirit became extremely low, and under these circumstances, every time he had mental riot he became violent, he also only had two years to live... 

Oh... Huo Ling finally understood, why did Chu Chen choose Li Ran?

Ah.

This Chu Chen really made a good plan. He found Li Ran, who would die in two years, and when Li Ran left, wouldn't he be single again, not only inheriting a fortune, but he even had the Li family as a backing?

Wouldn't it be possible for him to mess around again.

In this regard, Chu Chen was very smart.

Huo Ling was thinking like a heavenly steed, soaring across the skies, but in reality, it was only for a split second. After that he glanced at Li Ran again, unconsciously there was complicated emotion in his eyes.

[天马行空 tiān mǎ xíng kōng: like a heavenly steed, soaring across the skies (idiom); (of writing, calligraphy etc) bold and imaginative; unconstrained in style]

In the current situation, he didn't know whether he should sympathize with Li Ran or not.

Withdrawing from his small thoughts, Huo Ling nodded and said, "So you have this kind of relationship, it means that I have misunderstood you before that."

Chu Chen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. People are definitely different. Some people are born with shortcomings, and we have to make room for them. Their physique was so big, so their thinking was relatively limited. I and Ran Ran can understand."

Huo Ling: "..."

Huo Ling knew that Chu Chen was calling him an idiot again, so he was a little angry, but with so many people at the banquet, if he really made a move on Chu Chen or Li Ran, then the next day, this matter would spread throughout the entire Wangcheng District.

Let's not talk about how madam Feng Ruyun would nag him, just because he was a future soldier with S-level mental power, but he openly bullied two B-level mental power, which was really embarrassing.

Besides, what happened just now...

He really didn't figure it out beforehand.

However these two people had nothing to do and were having fun. As soon as he came, he heard Chu Chen's words that he wanted to take Li Ran by force. Huo Ling was startled and he thought that Chu Chen was threatening Li Ran.

Huo Ling suffered a loss, but he could only hold his breath and say: "Okay, this matter is indeed my fault, I apologize to you, I won't say anything else, but you also don't forget your plan. You are so close to Li Ran at the banquet, it will definitely be rumored, you should first think about how to explain this matter to the Chu family. "

"You don't have to worry about it."

Chu Chen said lightly.

After Huo Ling left, Chu Chen slowly sat down beside Li Ran as if nothing happened just now.

Li Ran asked lightly: "Aren't you going with him? Didn't you say you want to come here to meet people?"

Chu Chen took it for granted and said: "If you don't come, I must be bored, so it's okay to just follow Huo Ling to meet people. But since you're here, I will accompany you."

Li Ran lowered his eyes, suppressing all the thoughts in his eyes.

"No need." He said, "I can do it by myself. You can do whatever you want?"

Chu Chen looked at Li Ran for a while. When he saw that Li Ran really didn't care, and his personality was indeed independent, so he nodded and said: "Alright, anyway, when I'm here with you, it will attract the attention of many people around, I guess you will feel even more uncomfortable."

Chu Chen got up and left, he found the waiter and asked him to bring something to eat for Li Ran. Only then did he turn his gaze to his target.

Although everyone at the banquet casted disdainful glance at Chu Chen, but it was rare to see him. As the common saying said, don't reach out your hand to hit someone with smiling face, although they wouldn't be warm to Chu Chen, they wouldn't ridicule him.

[伸手不打笑脸人:  don't reach out your hand to hit someone with smiling face (idiom), it means if a person is showing a positive attitude, you’d better forgive him even if he has made a mistake.]

After a social interaction, Chu Chen changed a few people's inherent impressions of him with his conversation skill and temperament. Chu Chen exchanged contact information with them and planned to contact them in the future.

When the banquet was about to end, Chu Chen didn't say hello to Huo Ling, he turned around and went home with Li Ran.

By the time Huo Ling realized it, he had already been left at the banquet by himself.

Feeling the faint sights around him. Huo Ling could guess what these people might think, and he wished he could go back immediately to the past and strangle himself who promised to take Chu Chen to the banquet to death.

Just when he was thinking, a gentle voice sounded from behind Huo Ling: "Brother Huo Ling, where is my brother? Did he go back first?"

Huo Ling knew it was Chu Zhou when he heard it.

Huo Ling, like Feng Ruyun, had never been very fond of people from the Chu family. Even if this Chu Zhou's mental power was A+, and he was also still a famous person in Wangcheng district, but Huo Ling was not interested in getting to know him, let alone talk to him.

He said impatiently, "Don't mention your brother to me, I don't know where he went."

Chu Zhou didn't expect Huo Ling's tone to be so bad.

He was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Brother Huo Ling, did my brother make you angry again? I apologize to you on his behalf, and hope you don't take the previous matter to heart. He was spoiled by the Chu family before. So, in terms of behavior..."

Huo Ling suddenly glanced at Chu Zhou.

His cold and sharp eyes made Chu Zhou's scalp tingle, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say in an instant.
