Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Too Thick-Skinned

“I don’t mind going, Guo’er, but with both of your parents there, wouldn’t it be inappropriate for me to just barge in? Wouldn’t that reflect poorly on the Lin Family?

“Your family is going there for a partnership to begin with. If I were to show up, wouldn’t I be causing a disruption? Wouldn’t that negatively affect the Lin Family? Could the Zhao Family suppress you because of it?” Lin Kuang asked worriedly. He wasn’t concerned about himself, but about Lin Guo’er.

“Relax. I wouldn’t do this if I wasn’t sure. Although our Lin Family doesn’t have the financial power of the Zhao Family, it’s not so easy for them to target us. Even if this happens, the worst-case scenario is that our families’ relationship is ruined. My dad is the Family Head of the Lin Family. Even if I cause a scene, what can he do to me? At most, he’ll give me a harsh scolding. What else can he do?” Lin Guo’er huffed. For the sake of her own happiness, what was a little scolding?

She certainly didn’t want to be the object of an arranged marriage, especially since the Lin Family wasn’t in such dire straits that they couldn’t survive without it. It was for this reason that Lin Guo’er dared to boldly fight for her own happiness; she didn’t have to worry too much about the consequences.

Hearing Lin Guo’er’s explanation, Lin Kuang nodded, reassured.

“That’s good. So, is there a reward for me?” Lin Kuang asked with a mischievous smile, looking at Lin Guo’er’s tempting face.

“First, a kiss for you.” Saying this, Lin Guo’er blushed and planted a fiery kiss on the corner of Lin Kuang’s lips.

“That’s not enough,” he said with a chuckle. He embraced Lin Guo’er’s delicate body and kissed her passionately.

After a good while, a satisfied Lin Kuang finally let her go. Lin Guo’er’s face was flushed, her lips slightly parted in a bewitching way that was almost too much to resist.

“Guo’er, when should I go? And where can I find you?” Lin Kuang asked with a grin after the kiss.

“It starts at 7:30 in the evening. Here’s the invitation. Just take it and go to the villa at the address on it.” As she spoke, Lin Guo’er took a luxurious, red and gold-stamped invitation from her bag.

“Tsk tsk, this thing is pretty well made. I could probably sell it for a few hundred, huh?” Lin Kuang said with a smirk, looking at the invitation.

“Oh, stop it. I’ll be arriving a bit late, so just find a place to sit downstairs. I’ll find you when I get there,” Lin Guo’er said with a smile.

“Oh, right, a lot of influential people will be at this so-called engagement ceremony, so don’t get intimidated. Also, Shilin and Shiyu will be going too. The three of you should go together,” Lin Guo’er added with a smile.

“Huh? They’re going too? Wouldn’t it be bad if they see me there?” Lin Kuang asked awkwardly.

“I’m not afraid, so what are you afraid of? Now, go on back. I’ll talk to Shilin about this later,” Lin Guo’er huffed.

Hearing this, Lin Kuang nodded reluctantly and headed back to Liu Shilin’s office.

A short while later, Lin Guo’er arrived, explained the situation to Liu Shilin, and asked Lin Kuang to pretend to be her boyfriend. Liu Shilin was somewhat surprised, but she didn’t object, considering how close the two of them were. Still, as she thought about the relationship between Lin Guo’er and Lin Kuang, a strange, unidentifiable feeling surfaced in her heart. Her woman’s intuition told her their relationship wasn’t so simple, but she didn’t want to ask too many questions, leaving her feeling conflicted.

Even so, the matter was settled.

After work, Lin Kuang took Liu Shilin home.

Once he was home, he went straight to Yang Ruoxi’s house. After all, he had to attend Lin Guo’er’s engagement ceremony at seven-thirty. No, that wasn’t quite right. To be more accurate, Lin Kuang was going to cause a scene and stir things up.

Arriving at the Yang residence, Lin Kuang wasted no time infusing Yang Ruoxi with True Qi. After staying for a little while, he returned to the Liu residence at six o’clock.

Liu Shilin and the little Witch were both getting ready, choosing their clothes and doing their makeup. Seeing them, Lin Kuang decided to change as well. He put on a white suit since it was a formal occasion and he couldn’t dress too casually.

After changing into the white suit and a white shirt, Lin Kuang looked at himself in the mirror.

“Hmm, still as handsome as ever,” he said with considerable narcissism, making a show of flicking his neat buzz cut, which of course didn’t move.

It wasn’t an entirely narcissistic claim, either. The guy was quite handsome to begin with, and the white suit made him look truly dashing.

Just then, Liu Shilin and the little Witch started coming down the stairs.

Liu Shilin wore a wine-red evening gown that perfectly showcased her exquisite curves. Her ample bosom, shapely hips, and pretty face adorned with light makeup were stunning. Her glossy black hair was swept up, giving her the air of a noble lady and making her radiate charm.

Beside her, the little Witch wore a white tulle dress, her ample bust pushed up high in a way that could easily make one’s thoughts wander. A large expanse of her fair, long legs was visible, looking incredibly enchanting.

The sight of the two beauties, one mature and one youthful, was incredibly striking. Even Lin Kuang, who spent a lot of time with them, was stunned.

Seeing his dumbfounded gaze, both Liu Shilin’s and the little Witch’s cheeks reddened, but they felt a sweet thrill inside. They seemed quite pleased to have him looking at them like that.

However, when they saw Lin Kuang in his white suit, their beautiful eyes also flashed with astonishment. Lin Kuang was normally a handsome, sunny guy, but in this suit, he looked even sharper and more dashing than ever, easily rivaling the most popular young stars.

“Ahem,” Lin Kuang said, the first to snap out of it. He smiled awkwardly, though his eyes never left them. “Shilin, little Witch, you two look really beautiful today.”

“You look very handsome today, too,” Liu Shilin said with a smile, her face flushed.

Upon hearing this, Lin Kuang gave a mock-humble laugh. “Oh, this is nothing. I’ve always been this handsome. Hadn’t you noticed before?” he asked, feigning surprise, as if he couldn’t believe they had overlooked his handsomeness until now.

At his words, Liu Shilin and the little Witch simultaneously rolled their eyes. This guy is so shameless!

“Hmph. Mr. Driver, go and start the car,” the little Witch snorted, deliberately teasing him.

“As you wish, my two beautiful princesses.” Lin Kuang gave a slight, perfectly executed gentleman’s bow, which caught them both by surprise.

He had already turned to start the car, so he missed the expressions on their faces.
