Su Jian's Boyfriend

Su Jian quickly shook her head. "No, no. I really don't need a blind date."

Yang Huihui insisted, "What do you mean? It's tomorrow. I'll make the appointment now!"

Jin Pingchuan couldn't help but scoff.

Su Jian lowered her head and saw that her phone was still on the call screen. Awkwardly, she pulled Yang Huihui aside. "Wait, hold on. Look at the phone..."

"What is it?" Yang Huihui was puzzled. She followed Su Jian's gaze and realized that the call hadn't been disconnected. Well, that's all for the better!

Yang Huihui intentionally raised her voice. "Some people really need to reflect on themselves. Without any money, car, or house, how could they still think that they stand a chance with our beautiful Su Jian. Dream on!"

Su Jian was unable to bear it any longer and hung up the call.

Jin Pingchuan tossed his phone aside with a wry smile on his face. Marriage was a tough business these days. On one hand, he had to guard against his ex-lover's attacks, and on the other hand, he had to be cautious of his wife's friends. He would need to carefully plan on how to solidify Su Jian's position as Mrs. Jin and make others give up on her.

Before Su Jian could leave after work the next day, she was caught by Yang Huihui.

Su Jian had a headache. "Do we really have to go?"

Yang Huihui replied, "Of course we have to go! Even if you're not interested in Qiu Shan, he makes for a good friend. In our line of work, having a wide network is important..."

There was a problem. She was already married. Going on a blind date didn't seem right. Su Jian pulled Yang Huihui aside. "Just wait one second, I have something to tell you..." She wanted to tell Yang Huihui the whole truth. It was alright if she got scolded for it.

Just then, someone called Su Jian's name. Yang Huihui looked up and saw a tall man in a black shirt standing at the entrance. He had a handsome face with well-defined features.

"Who would you be?" Yang Huihui frowned. She had never seen this man before.

"I'm here to pick up Su Jian," Jin Pingchuan said with a smile.

Su Jian quickly snapped out of her confusion and approached him. "Why are you here?" She was a bit stunned.

Jin Pingchuan's previously cold expression immediately melted into a warm smile when he saw Su Jian. "If I don't show up, wouldn't you be forced to go on a blind date again? I had to come here for the sake of my lifelong happiness."

Su Jian was speechless. So he had heard the entire phone conversation yesterday without missing a word!

Yang Huihui was taken aback. Her gaze quickly darted between Su Jian and Jin Pingchuan. She seemed to realize something. She reached out with a hand. "I'm Yang Huihui, Su Jian's good friend."

Jin Pingchuan lightly shook her hand. "Jin Pingchuan, Su Jian's boyfriend." He didn't directly reveal that he was Su Jian's husband. He would leave that up to Su Jian.

The word "boyfriend" was enough for Yang Huihui to catch the hidden meaning in Jin Pingchuan's words. Su Jian already had a boyfriend and didn't need to go on blind dates.

Yang Huihui had a discerning eye. But no matter how discerning she was, she couldn't find any faults in Jin Pingchuan's appearance. His manners were also on point. It was no wonder that Su Jian liked him. It was a shame that he was still a pauper. He had no house, no car, and lived with his grandparents. Yang Huihui felt sorry for Su Jian.

Yang Huihui cracked up a wry smile and said to Jin Pingchuan, "Yes, you're just a boyfriend. Whether you can upgrade from a boyfriend to a husband depends on your performance."

"Of course, I'll do my best," Jin Pingchuan replied.

As she watched Jin Pingchuan leave with Su Jian, Yang Huihui furrowed her brow and called Han Rui. "I just saw Su Jian's blind date. He's good-looking, but he's dirt-poor. He even showed up in a borrowed car. Can you believe that someone in their thirties can't even afford a car worth more than 10,000 dollars? He either lacks capability or character. If Su Jian ends up with someone like him, she'll only suffer in the future!"

Han Rui was speechless.

Jin Pingchuan was indeed driving a borrowed car. To be more precise, he had traded cars with Changhe. This car belonged to Changhe, while Jin Pingchuan's Land Rover had been taken by Changhe.

Jin Pingchuan did not enjoy hiding his family background. He understood that if he revealed it all, Su Jian might not agree to go on a blind date with him, let alone get married.

When Grandma Wang mentioned Su Jian to Jin Pingchuan, she had also said, "Su Jian just wants to live a peaceful life. Let's not bring up your family background for now. If you're interested in her, feel her out. If you like her, you can perform the grand reveal later. Su Jian's heart is cold and dead. If you want to win her heart, you need to warm it up first."
