Chapter 23 He's My Fiancé!_1

"No, absolutely not!"

Zhou Yuan stood up anxiously, speaking with sincere fear, "I've only seen those things on TV; I've never touched them in reality!"

He was a child from a poor family who ate coarse grains, so he had no idea how to handle high-end ingredients.

"Hee hee..."

"Silly, I'm just teasing you!"

Chu Ran laughed contentedly, "I'll treat you to a big meal another day!"

Perhaps it was because there was no need to pretend to be a lofty young lady in front of the honest Zhou Yuan, right?

Just like an ordinary girl, she could disregard the etiquette of the wealthy and eat rice and vegetables heartily without a care in the world!

"Gulp..."

Twenty minutes later, Chu Ran burped contentedly, and when she noticed Zhou Yuan's fixed gaze, she smiled sheepishly!

There were only empty plates left of the shredded pork with Beijing sauce and the stir-fried green peppers with shredded potato.

Still, she pouted coquettishly and said, "What are you looking at? It's all your fault!"

"Ah?" Zhou Yuan was taken aback, "My fault?"

Chu Ran pouted, "Of course, it's your fault. Would Miss Chu be like this if you hadn't made the food so delicious?"

Her feigned anger was just like that of a little girl coquettishly selling cuteness to her boyfriend during the heat of romance!

Meanwhile, at the villa gate!

"Elder Wei, could you please announce my visit, I've come especially to see Miss Chu!"

Lin Bufan held a bouquet of roses, his face full of a gentleman's smile.

Wei Shen responded indifferently, "Miss is not at home!"

"Master Lin, perhaps you should come another time!"

Although he didn't care for Zhou Yuan, he liked Lin Bufan, the second-generation rich kid, even less.

And Miss Chu didn't like these suitors disturbing her, so without the need to consult her, he could reject them.

"Elder Wei!"

Lin Bufan said with a smile, "You are Miss Chu's personal bodyguard. If you're home, where else could she be?"

"The Lin Family from East Sea Domain is at least one of the top families there; surely you wouldn't turn me away when I come to visit?"

The subtext in his words was already very clear, almost like a threat.

High society has its own set of rules.

There wasn't any enmity between the Chu and Lin families, and there were even quite a few collaborations. If Lin Bufan, who came to visit, were turned away at the door, even if no one dared to speak ill of Chu Ran openly, there would inevitably be plenty of cold sneers and ridicule behind her back.

And to the wealthy families, face was even more important than life!

So even though Wei Shen really didn't like being threatened, he had to report to the living room.

"Elder Wei, is something the matter?"

Upon seeing him, Chu Ran promptly greeted him.

Wei Shen frowned, "Lin Bufan is here!"

"I don't want to see him, ask him to leave!" Chu Ran responded decisively. That Lin Bufan was like a fly, following her wherever she went.

Besides, she didn't like pointless pleasantries and wasn't nearly as happy as she was when she was with Zhou Yuan.

"Ranran, this is where you're wrong!"

Lin Bufan, holding a bouquet of roses, appeared in the dining room, looking proud, "I've just returned from Capital City to the East Sea, and now I'm here in Jiang City. Auntie said that the future is ours as the younger generation, so we should get to know each other well."

To pursue Chu Ran, he had really put in a lot of effort.

The reason he could pinpoint Chu Ran's whereabouts had to do not only with informants spread across different places but also with his painstaking efforts to please her mother.

Chu Ran was clearly unhappy, but with her mother backing Lin Bufan, she could only bear it, "We met just three months ago, so I think that's been quite enough interaction!"

"Also, please call me by my name, or my boyfriend might misunderstand!"

Zhou Yuan was stunned!

Boyfriend?

Was she using him as a shield?

However, to be Chu Ran's shield was a supreme honor, and he had just been wondering how to repay Chu Ran's support.

"Boyfriend?"

Lin Bufan gave Zhou Yuan a disdainful glance and then arrogantly laughed, "Do you think I would believe you would pick a pretty boy to be your boyfriend?"

Everyone knew that Zhou Yuan was unworthy of Miss Chu, so it must have been just to annoy him, but Lin Bufan wasn't brainless; of course, he could see that!

"You're really quite smart. I admit he is indeed not my boyfriend!"

Chu Ran said this and paused briefly, but before Lin Bufan could feel pleased, she continued, "You must have heard from my mother about my fiancé. Actually, he is my fiancé. Are you satisfied now?"

Lin Bufan's complexion instantly turned awkward, "Ranran, you… Your fiancé, wasn't he missing?"

If it were any other time, Wei Shen would definitely have issued the order to kick the guest out on behalf of Miss Chu, after all, they had met, and there were no rudeness issues!

But he did not; instead, he wanted to see what was so unusual about the man Miss Chu was so enamored with!

"Only I am allowed to call her 'Ranran', and I have always been in Jiang City, never missing. If you dare to speak out of turn again, do you believe I will slap you?"

Zhou Yuan stood up assertively, positioning himself in front of Chu Ran, staring down Lin Bufan with a final warning!

Lin Bufan trembled with rage, "Who do you think you are? You think you can call her 'Ranran'... "

"Slap..."

However, before he could finish speaking, he was struck by a slap!

He was suddenly dizzy and felt a burning pain on his face!

That slap, which surprised not only Wei Shen but even Chu Ran, came unexpected; after all, Lin Bufan's background could not be compared to those of the powerful families of Jiang City.

And since he was greatly favored by her mother, she also had to concede in some respects.

But Zhou Yuan's slap really made her feel good!

Therefore, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but fill with additional admiration!

"And who do you think you are?"

Zhou Yuan didn't give any face, not only was he unaware of who Lin Bufan was, but even if he knew, he would still slap without hesitation!

After obtaining the family inheritance, he had already changed greatly.

All that was missing from gaining fame and success was just a process!

"Zhou Yuan, you're fucking done for!"

Lin Bufan screamed hysterically and then turned and shouted again, "Chu Ran, are you going to just let this mad dog bite people?"

"Slap..."

However, the reply he got was not from Chu Ran but another slap from Zhou Yuan!

Such decisiveness caught even Chu Ran off guard!

Elder Wei shook his head; the boy was too arrogant. Even with Miss Chu's support, he shouldn't have slapped Lin Bufan.

It was a pity, he had thought Zhou Yuan was a man of deep schemes.

"Listen well!"

"Ranran doesn't want to see you!"

"Get lost!"

Zhou Yuan bellowed!

"You… just wait!"

Lin Bufan waved his hand angrily, pointing and saying, "I won't let you off, this isn't over, you will definitely kneel before this young master and sing 'Conquest'!"

But when Zhou Yuan saw the black aura on the bracelet on his wrist, which was the negative energy recorded in the "Great Zhou Secret Technique," he knew that constantly wearing such an ornament of dark objects was bound to cause big problems.

He examined closer and saw Lin Bufan's brow darkened—clearly, this was a prelude to being cursed—then he sneered dismissively, "You're heading to a major disaster and you still dare to threaten me?"

"Don't come kneeling to me then!"
