Chapter 1333: What Great Ideals
But today, for some reason, he actually wanted to come to the beach. Even if it wasn’t for a walk, he felt good to stand there and enjoy the sea breeze…
Listening to the sounds of children playing with their parents on the beach, as well as the sounds of couples whispering sweet nothings to each other, Lin Chen, who used to think it was noisy, suddenly felt it was a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
Lin Chen propped himself up with one hand against the car hood that was still hot. Looking at a little brother chasing after his sister on the beach, the corners of his lips subconsciously curled up.
His relationship with Lin Nuan could only be siblings, like Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan, so he would try his best to be a good brother.
As for his partner…
Even though he would feel sorry for the person who would stand next to him in the future, he had to fall in love as soon as possible so that his parents and grandparents wouldn’t worry.
Lin Chen thought of the Gao family’s daughter, whom he had met previously. When he first met her, the Gao family’s daughter told Lin Chen that she liked people of the same gender and already had someone she liked. She wanted to pretend to be in a relationship with Lin Chen to delude her family into believing that she was straight. She told Lin Chen she could even marry him for that.
But Lin Chen didn’t want to play such tricks, so he rejected Miss Gao.
Now that he thought of Miss Gao again, if Miss Gao hadn’t found anyone who was willing to pretend to be a couple with her, perhaps Lin Chen could give it a try. That way… at least his family wouldn’t be so worried.
Lin Chen finished smoking the cigarette by the beach and locked the car. Like with Lin Nuan in the past, he walked along the coast, occasionally bending over to pick up a few shells.
A little lady who was picking up the shell from the beach saw Lin Chen and bounced to him, handing him the prettiest shell she had picked up. “Brother, I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before. I’m not trying to hit on you! This… is for you!”
Lin Chen looked up and saw a five or six-year-old girl in a flowery dress standing in front of him, staring at him with bright eyes.
The sea breeze blew at the young lady’s two bunches and dress. She stepped barefoot on the beach, her calves and feet were covered in sand, and she smiled brightly.
“I think that you look familiar too.” Lin Chen couldn’t help but smile. “Thanks…”
Lin Chen took the shell and was thinking about what he could exchange with the young lady when he heard the young lady’s mother calling out to her.
“Little Candy! Home!”
“Coming!” Little Candy smiled at Lin Chen and said, “Brother, you’re so handsome! Goodbye, Brother!”
Then, the young lady ran towards her mother…
Lin Chen looked up and was surprised to see Lin Nuan’s female bodyguard.
You Nainai was also surprised to see Lin Chen. She nodded slightly at him.
Tang Zheng, who had returned with two ice creams in his hands, also saw Lin Chen. He looked surprised… It was Fu Huai’an’s older brother-in-law!
Tang Zheng handed the ice cream to You Nainai and Little Candy before walking towards Lin Chen.
“President Lin!” Tang Zheng smiled and reached out his hand to Lin Chen. “Sorry, my daughter didn’t bring you any trouble, did she?”
“No!” Lin Chen looked down at the shell in his hand and smiled. “Your daughter is very cute!”
“Thank you!” Tang Zheng turned around and glanced at Little Candy, who was talking to You Nainai with her head raised. “Ah… I have something to tell President Lin. Recently, rumors have been spreading that the young lady from the Jian family has been trying to woo President Lin. That young lady isn’t as pure and innocent as she looks. President Lin, you have to know this!”
After all, Lin Chen was Fu Huai’an’s brother-in-law. Since they’d crossed paths with each other there… Tang Zheng couldn’t help but warn him.
“I got it! Thank you.” Lin Chen nodded at Tang Zheng.
Lin Chen was very clear about Jian Qiqi’s character…
She was as smart and cunning as a wolf in sheep’s clothing!
“Then, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first…” Tang Zheng smiled at Lin Chen.
“Okay!”
Lin Chen watched as Tang Zheng walked to Little Candy’s side and lifted her up to his neck. The young lady giggled happily, then turned around and waved goodbye to Lin Chen.
A rare smile appeared on Lin Chen’s lips as he waved at Little Candy.
Little Candy hugged Tang Zheng’s head and whispered to him, “Tang Zheng, Tang Zheng! I feel like I’ve seen that older brother before. Perhaps in my previous life! He’s so handsome! If Tuan Tuan doesn’t let me marry him when I grow up, I want to marry him!”
Tang Zheng was speechless.
Whom did their Little Candy get her fickle trait from? She loved everyone she saw!
“That’s not Brother. That’s Uncle. You saw him at Tuan Tuan’s parents’ wedding. That’s Tuan Tuan’s uncle, didn’t you know that?” Tang Zheng said to his daughter.
“Oh…” Little Candy nodded thoughtfully. “So it’s Tuan Tuan’s uncle! No wonder that brother is so handsome. So he resembles Tuan Tuan!”
Tang Zheng was speechless.
Who does Little Candy take after? She’s so unfaithful… She falls in love with every new person she sees!
“Anyway, I’ve decided to marry Tuan Tuan first. If Tuan Tuan doesn’t want me, I’ll marry Tuan Tuan’s uncle…” Little Candy clenched her fists to cheer herself up.
“If you can’t be Tuan Tuan’s wife, are you going to be Tuan Tuan’s aunt? You’re so ambitious…” Tang Zheng said to his daughter.
Little Candy’s hair was tied into two bunches, and she smiled so widely that her eyes were narrowed. “Anyway, we have to become a family with Tuan Tuan!”
Tang Zheng was speechless.
His daughter loved Tuan Tuan deeply!
Lin Chen held the seashell in his hand and took a walk by the beach before driving home.
Liang Mulan, who had just finished showering and was drinking water, was a little surprised to see Lin Chen return. “Why are you back so early? Didn’t you say you were meeting your friends?”
Lin Chen nodded and changed out of his shoes. Just as he was about to head upstairs, he suddenly thought of something and stopped in his tracks. He looked in Liang Mulan’s direction and said, “Mom… help me ask the lady from the Gao family if she already has a partner. If she hasn’t, please help me set us up for a meal!”
Liang Mulan nearly choked on the water in her mouth. She probably hadn’t expected to hear something like this from her son today. She coughed hard and widened her eyes as she looked at her son, suspecting that he’d gotten possessed…
“Is it inconvenient?” Lin Chen asked.
“No… cough cough!” Liang Mulan patted her chest and asked Lin Chen with a frown, “Didn’t you say you didn’t have anything to do with that lady from the Gao family…”
Liang Mulan wanted to say something but stopped herself. She corrected herself. “Didn’t she give you her contact number after you had dinner together?”
“I thought it was useless, so I didn’t save it,” Lin Chen said honestly to Liang Mulan.
“Okay, okay, okay!” Liang Mulan quickly nodded. “I’ll call Mrs. Gao and ask if her daughter already has a boyfriend. If she doesn’t, I’ll arrange a date for you!”
“Thanks, Mom!” Lin Chen then headed upstairs.
Liang Mulan was afraid that Lin Chen would take back his words, so she quickly took action…
