Chapter 1369: Promoting Herself
“Moreover, I’m the daughter of the Lu family. The marriage between the Lu family and the Lin family would make a strong alliance… Don’t you agree, Brother Lin Chen?”
“You’re still too young!” Lin Chen raised his head and looked at Lu Yunfan. “It’s not that I despise you for being young, but I don’t want to hold you up… Do you understand? It’s not that every relationship that differs in age can lead to a good outcome! In our era… men’s lifespans are shorter than women’s to begin with. I’ll most likely leave first after we live together for so many years. When that happens, what are you going to do afterwards?”
Lu Yunfan’s eyes were watery as she looked at Lin Chen in surprise. “Brother Lin Chen, truthfully, do you like me so much? You’ve even thought that far ahead for me.”
Lin Chen was speechless.
Indeed, Lu Yunfan’s brain wasn’t an ordinary one. He couldn’t talk to her in a normal way.
“Brother Lin Chen!” Lu Yunfan exclaimed with sincere eyes. “Don’t worry, I’ll never think you’re old. I’m not afraid that you’ll leave before me!”
Lin Chen narrowed his eyes.
“You said that men’s lifespans are generally shorter than women’s. It’s because men are put under greater societal pressure. Women in our society are getting even stronger now. In workplaces, many of them even have better positions than men, making their male counterparts feel useless about themselves. Since most people in our society are still used to male chauvinism, a lot of men would definitely feel psychological pressure. But if you get married to me, you won’t have this kind of pressure!” Lu Yunfan looked at Lin Chen innocently.
Lin Chen was speechless.
“I’m such an unambitious person, so I definitely won’t put pressure on you, Brother Lin Chen!” Lu Yunfan said seriously, trying to convince Lin Chen. “Moreover, I’ll take good care of your health. I’ll urge you to work out, not skip meals, and eat healthily! I’m a cheerful person, so Brother Lin Chen will often smile and laugh whenever you’re with me. Don’t people always say that… smiling and laughing will help you live at least ten years longer! So, if you marry me, Brother Lin Chen, you won’t be at a disadvantage!”
Lu Yunfan started promoting herself again…
Lin Chen was rendered speechless.
Lu Yunfan really spared no effort in promoting herself!
Lin Chen was amused by Lu Yunfan’s words. He sighed and shook his head.
“Brother Lin Chen, just promise to give me a chance and give a relationship with me a try! Just treat it as goodwill towards me. If you still feel I’m unsuitable to be with you after spending some time with me, then I won’t force you anymore. Okay?”
Looking at Lu Yunfan’s large and moist eyes, Lin Chen couldn’t utter the words of refusal that were already in his mouth. As he listened to the sound of the rain outside the gallery, he suddenly recalled the softness of Lu Yunfan’s lips.
Lin Chen didn’t dislike Lu Yunfan…
It was probably because of Lu Yunfan’s lack of brains that they got along rather well.
“Lu Yunfan, you probably haven’t figured it out yet, but if you get together with me, you’re the one at the worse end of the deal, not me…” Lin Chen said as he looked at Lu Yunfan seriously. “You’re still young… do you understand what I mean?”
“Since I’m the one at the worse end of the deal, why won’t you give it a try? You’re right! I’m still young! That’s why I can still afford to lose. If we end up breaking up after trying, at least I won’t feel any regrets for the rest of my life! So, Brother Lin Chen, just promise to give it a try!”
Lu Yunfan gently shook Lin Chen’s arm, her tone as cute as a newborn kitten.
Lin Chen sighed. After a long while, he said, “One month… Just one month. If any of us feel that it won’t work out after a month, we’ll separate…”
Lu Yunfan hadn’t expected Lin Chen to agree. She was so happy that she nearly jumped up. She covered her mouth with both hands, tears welling up in her eyes.
Lu Yunfan had wanted to say “Brother Lin Chen, you’re so nice,” but all of her words were stuck in her throat.
Lin Chen looked at Lu Yunfan’s reaction and asked, “You’re unwilling?”
Lu Yunfan immediately shook her head. “No, no! I’m especially willing!”
Lin Chen drew a tissue and handed it to Lu Yunfan. “Wipe it. You still have to meet your guests. It won’t look good if you cry!”
Lu Yunfan quickly took the tissue and wiped her tears, smiling at Lin Chen. “Brother Lin Chen, you’re so nice! Then… what about Miss Gao?”
“I’ll tell her.”
Lu Yunfan was elated. “Then, can I share this with my good friend?”
“You can share it if we’re still together after a month!” Lin Chen said as he stood up.
Lu Yunfan got up and asked, “Brother Lin Chen, are you leaving?”
“I still have matters to attend to at the company. My mother and Lin Ran won’t be coming over today. It’s Lin Ran’s future mother-in-law’s birthday, so it’s inconvenient for her to come.”
Lin Chen explained, perhaps because he was afraid that the young lady would be upset over his mother’s and sister’s absence.
“Okay, okay! I understand!” Lu Yunfan nodded.
“I’ll get going first…” Lin Chen got up and buttoned his suit jacket.
“Then… can I look for you for lunch this afternoon?” Lu Yunfan asked with a flushed face.
Lin Chen nodded. “Call me before you come. I’ll get my secretary to come downstairs to pick you up!”
“Okay!”
Lu Yunfan sent Lin Chen to the door. Lin Chen didn’t allow Lu Yunfan to come out, so Lu Yunfan could only watch as the man she loved walked into the rain with his black umbrella. Her mood soared so high that she felt she almost exploded with happiness.
Lin Chen got into the car. Seeing the young lady still waving at him from the art gallery’s entrance, he started the car and left…
Once Lin Chen left, Lu Yunfan jumped up and down happily in the gallery. “Yay! Yay! I succeeded!”
The staff who was busy at the gallery looked in their boss’ direction. They didn’t know what their boss had succeeded in, but since their boss was so happy, they were also happy.
The atmosphere in the gallery, which was initially gloomy due to the heavy rain, suddenly became livelier because of Lu Yunfan’s excited screams. Everyone started to work more proactively and began to place items that were needed during rainy days within reach, in the event guests needed one.
Even though it was raining, Lu Yunfan’s art gallery’s opening still took place as scheduled. The Lu family had long prepared for this. Not only had they informed the media, but they had also invited an influential person from the art industry. Not to mention, Lin Nuan also came after that. The venue was bustling.
Lu Yunfan didn’t expect You Jiaxin to tag along with her older brother, Lu Yunhang. She hugged You Jiaxin excitedly.
But Lu Yunfan still kept her relationship with Lin Chen a secret from You Jiaxin. In the end, Lu Yunfan followed Lin Chen’s instructions.
The event continued until noon. Lu Yunfan glanced at her watch and saw that it was already past noon. She was going to have lunch with Lin Chen!
Lu Yunfan then said to Lu Yunhang, “Brother, I have something very important to do! I’ll leave the gallery to you! Help me look after the guests!”
