Stunning Dragon Wife-Chapter 770: Falling Out

"Young Master Han, over here, over here, right here."

Sitting by the window on the second floor of the Chinese restaurant, Mrs. Lin immediately waved her hand in excitement as soon as she saw the man appear, extremely enthusiastic.

"Auntie, sorry to have kept you waiting, no need to be so polite, just call me Han Fei."

The man responded politely to Mrs. Lin.

Unlike the arrogant and domineering young thug downstairs, he was also a seasoned actor.

"Hehe, Han Fei, come and take a seat."

Han Fei walked over to the dining table

"Why don’t I see your daughter here?"

Han Fei looked at Mrs. Lin sitting there alone, slightly displeased.

He had not yet met his blind date, but had heard that she was a top-tier beauty, which was why he had rushed over in excitement, and now, not seeing her, he couldn’t help but feel a bit let down.

Mrs. Lin explained.

"My daughter went to pick someone up, hehe, Han Fei, you see, the thing is, Auntie wants to match my daughter with you, but we’ve run into a bit of trouble and might need your help."

Mrs. Lin began to share her plan with Han Fei

"Where is he, how come he’s not here yet?"

Lin Yanran stood at the intersection, looking around for Zhang Xiaoshan’s figure.

"If you weren’t coming, why didn’t you say it earlier, why stand me up?"

Lin Yanran suddenly felt a bit aggrieved, tears already spinning in her eyes.

So many men pursued her, wishing to have a meal with her, and she wouldn’t give them the time of day. This was the first time she had extended an invitation to a man, and yet he was disrespecting her; naturally, she felt somewhat dejected.

"Miss Lin."

Suddenly, a voice rang out.

She was startled and looked up in the direction of the sound.

There she saw Zhang Xiaoshan appearing not far away, walking briskly toward her.

Black casual pants, white casual shoes, a black sweater, and a light coffee-colored coat worn over it.

"Dr. Zhang..."

Seeing Zhang Xiaoshan, Lin Yanran was overjoyed and hurriedly wiped the tears from her eyes.

"What, you’ve been crying?"

Zhang Xiaoshan saw Lin Yanran’s misty eyes and couldn’t help but ask.

Lin Yanran said.

"If it weren’t for you, I would have thought you weren’t coming. You made me cry."

"Hehe."

Zhang Xiaoshan laughed a little.

"It wasn’t on purpose, the traffic was too heavy, so I’m late. I’m really sorry. You must be starving, let’s go eat, and as an apology, this meal is on me."

Zhang Xiaoshan walked towards the Chinese restaurant.

"Hey, wait up!"

Lin Yanran tugged at the hem of Zhang Xiaoshan’s coat.

"Dr. Zhang, don’t rush, I, I haven’t told you something yet."

"What is it?"

"It’s, it’s just that I didn’t come alone, my, my mom is also inside," Lin Yanran said, looking down, her face blushing, a bit guilty.

"What, your mom is here too?"

Zhang Xiaoshan was surprised.

"Weren’t you meeting me alone?"

"What, are you afraid an extra person, my mom, will eat you out of house and home? Don’t worry, I’ll pay for the meal."

"No, that’s not what I mean, it’s just that, us, this, this sudden meeting with parents, it seems a bit..."

Zhang Xiaoshan looked troubled.

Lin Yanran took a deep breath and said

"Alright, I won’t hide it from you anymore, the truth is, I invited you over because, aside from dinner, the main reason is my mom wants to meet you."

"Your mom wants to meet me? What for?"

"This, this, us, this..."

Zhang Xiaoshan was somewhat at a loss for words.

How had he and Lin Yanran reached the step of meeting the parents?

Lin Yanran’s face turned so red it looked like it could bleed, as she stuttered and spoke with a tremble.

"I have to be honest with you, I asked you here today to bail me out. My family has been pressuring me to get married and even introduced me to potential matches, but you don’t know how terrible the reputation of my suitor is. If I really married that person, I would be in utter misery."

"Moreover, I don’t want to get married yet, so, in a moment of desperation, I lied and said I already had a boyfriend, and my mom insisted on meeting him, but where could I possibly find a boyfriend?"

"I don’t really know any men at all; you’re the only one I can ask for help."

"Dr. Zhang, please, would you do me this favor?"

Lin Yanran looked at Zhang Xiaoshan with hopeful eyes.

That look could melt hearts.

"You’re not joking with me, are you?"

Zhang Xiaoshan felt overwhelmed.

His love life was just too much of a mess, wasn’t it?

There were far too many women, and though Lin Yanran was charming, he was not someone who could afford to get involved with her.

He had previously pretended to be Teacher Xu Jing’s boyfriend at a class reunion, and ever since, she had been infatuated with him, to the point where he now felt guilty. Now Lin Yanran was taking it even further by wanting to meet the parents; what was next, forcing a marriage?

The thought was frightening.

"No, Miss Lin, we’re friends, and I’ll definitely help you with anything within my power, but, but with such a life-changing matter, how can I assist you?"

"You’re the heiress of Lin’s Pharmaceutical, and I’m just a village doctor. Even if I have a little property, there’s still quite a gap between me and the Lin family. Even if I agree to pretend, your mom won’t be convinced."

"Why not find someone else to help you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yanran’s expression instantly fell.

"Forget it, I thought we were friends and you would help me out."

"Who would have thought that you’d just stand by and watch me suffer."

"Besides, is it such a huge imposition for you to pretend to be my boyfriend for a bit?"

"Am I that unlikable?"

"Never mind, never mind, let’s pretend I never asked you. I’ll just marry someone at random."

Lin Yanran rattled on like a machine gun, then turned and walked away.

She wasn’t normally so sensitive, but right now, Zhang Xiaoshan had truly hit a nerve.

"Wait a minute."

Zhang Xiaoshan, somewhat speechless, dashed after her and grabbed Lin Yanran’s arm.

"Why are you pulling me? Let go."

Lin Yanran looked extremely aggrieved.

Zhang Xiaoshan couldn’t help but sarcastically comment.

"Are you a dog, flipping out just like that? Fine, fine, you scare me."

"So does that mean, you’re agreeing?"

Lin Yanran’s eyes immediately lit up with surprise.

Zhang Xiaoshan began to suspect that Lin Yanran’s anger was just an act.

"Yes, you terrify me, Miss Lin. Let’s go."

"Hehehe, alright, alright, don’t worry, I’ll remember this favor, let’s go."

Lin Yanran giggled, worried that Zhang Xiaoshan might change his mind, she quickly grabbed his arm and hurried into the Chinese restaurant.

...

"Oh, I understand what you mean, Auntie. Don’t worry, I, Han Fei, am confident I’m one of the finest of the younger generation. It’s just a country bumpkin; if he doesn’t show up today, it’s even better. But if he does come, just wait and see how I’ll humiliate him."

After listening to Mrs. Lin’s description, Han Fei was brimming with arrogant confidence.

"Han Fei, it makes me very happy that you can say this. Rest assured, Auntie supports you. If all goes well, your marriage to Yanran can be settled soon."

In his mind, Han Fei thought: "Idiot, who wants to marry your daughter? But I’ve heard that the heiress of Lin’s Pharmaceutical is quite a catch in both looks and figure; should be quite enjoyable to get with."

Just at that moment, Zhang Xiaoshan and Lin Yanran came up the stairs.

"Hmm, why is this woman appearing here?"

"Wait, that guy with her seems familiar too?"

As Han Fei looked at Lin Yanran and Zhang Xiaoshan, he furrowed his brow.
