The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2836 I can't help you with this. Good luck!
"Nobody would want to be his daughter-in-law."

Gong Jianying seemed to have been pricked by a hedgehog and stood up abruptly: "I'm here to offer birthday wishes on behalf of Mount Taixu, not to go on a blind date!"

Lin Chen smiled with a hint of schadenfreude: "Who told them to take a liking to you? As parents, when they see someone outstanding, they'll definitely want to bring them into their own family. Speaking of which, Wanyan Jie is from a wealthy family, and you're a disciple of a master. You're a perfect match, a very good couple..."

"Shut up!"

Gong Jianying punched Lin Chen's arm and shouted angrily, "Aren't we friends? I'm in this state and you're still gloating. You're inhuman!"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "No way, I'm just stating the facts. Neither of us is married, so there's nothing wrong with getting to know each other. What if we're really the right person? Unless you're planning to stay single forever, it's not a bad thing."

Gong Jianying glared at Lin Chen: "If you want to marry, then you marry!"

Lin Chen shrugged and laughed, "You should go out now, they're waiting for you."

Gong Jianying reluctantly took a few steps, then turned back and said, "Come with me."

Lin Chen shook his head vigorously: "No, don't drag me into this. Otherwise, if they don't accept my advances, they'll probably think I'm the one who caused all the trouble and they'll hate me again. Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?"

Gong Jianying pouted: "I just introduced you as a rising star favored by my master, who would dare to make things difficult for you?"

Lin Chen waved his hand without hesitation: "Little Gong, I beg you to let me go. I've acted as a shield for people several times, and every time something bad happened. So, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I'm really not suited to get involved in this matter."

"The Master and the Sect Leader have a good relationship, so it's not a bad thing that the Sect Leader has this intention. You should meet him. If you don't like him, just say so. It won't hurt your relationship. But if I get involved, things could easily get complicated."

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Gong Jianying stopped insisting. She pouted and walked out, but after taking two steps, she turned back and said, "Tell me about using you as a shield later."

Lin Chen only wanted to stay out of this matter, so he agreed without hesitation: "Okay, as long as you don't ask me for help, I'll tell you."

Gong Jianying went out and returned shortly afterward, looking distressed.

Lin Chen sat in the chair, grinning at her: "Why the long face? Is the other person not good-looking?"

Gong Jianying shook his head and said, "To be honest, he is quite handsome."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "What's wrong? I see resistance written all over your face..." Gong Jianying thought for a moment and said, "Something feels off. He's too enthusiastic towards me, so enthusiastic that it feels fake. It doesn't feel like genuine enthusiasm, but rather polite enthusiasm."

Lin Chen comforted him, "You are the guest, and he is the host. His father gave the order, so whether he wanted to come or not, he had to come. How did the conversation go?"

Gong Jianying replied, "We didn't talk much. He just came over to say hello and told me to rest well today. He said he would take me around tomorrow and mentioned some fun places nearby. I couldn't refuse him. Ugh, so annoying!"

Lin Chen blinked: "What do you think? Is he just completing the task his father assigned, or does he have feelings for you himself?"

Gong Jianying thought for a moment: "The meeting was too short to say. As I just said, I felt that he was a little too enthusiastic, which made me feel a little uncomfortable."

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "I can't help you with this. Good luck to you. Go take a look tomorrow. If you really don't like it, then just make an excuse to decline and don't want to see me again."

Gong Jianying frowned and said angrily, "These things are so annoying."

After a pause, Gong Jianying looked up and asked Lin Chen, "You have a Daoist partner, right?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes."

Gong Jianying asked, "How did you and your Daoist partner meet?"

Lin Chen tacitly agreed that the Daoist partner he was referring to was Chu Jiaxue, since Chu Jiaxue was his legal wife, and they had a marriage certificate.

"Our relationship was arranged by both sets of parents. We were complete strangers when we first got together, but after going through a lot, we gradually developed feelings for each other. In that sense, we were quite lucky."

Gong Jianying blinked: "Was it awkward between you and her at the beginning?"

Lin Chen couldn't help but chuckle as he recalled the early days of his relationship with Chu Jiaxue: "Awkward, of course it was awkward. We got together because of our elders, and we were forced to stay in the same room at night. But we didn't have any feelings for each other, so we ended up sleeping in the bed and each other on the floor..."

"Think about it, two people who don't know each other well, have only met for two days, and are sleeping in the same room, yet they feel completely unfamiliar with each other. How can they not feel awkward?"
