Chapter 195 Playing the field

Li Lei and Wu Gang also looked over, following Zhang Peng's gaze.

When they saw Li Sisi, they also froze instantly.

Their eyes were full of amazement and shock, and the chopsticks in their hands almost fell onto the table.

They had known Lin Chen for so long and knew he was handsome.

They also knew he had high standards; although there was no shortage of girls showing interest in him normally,

He had never brought a girl to their roommate gatherings.

"And wasn't Lin Chen pursuing the campus belle Chen Qian?"

"He's also pursuing the twin class beauties in our class!"

"Does this guy really have that many fish in his pond?"

Unexpectedly, after only a short while, Lin Chen brought out a new girl again.

And this girl was even several years older than Lin Chen; not only was she beautiful, but her temperament was absolutely stunning.

The oatmeal-colored Chanel coat she was wearing looked very expensive at a glance.

The subtle double-C pattern on the cuffs exuded a sense of luxury, making her look gentle and poised.

Every movement of hers exuded an elegance enhanced by high-end brands.

Different from the greenness of girls like Chen Qian, she was practically the female lead from a novel.

Li Sisi felt a bit embarrassed by their staring and subconsciously leaned closer to Lin Chen.

Holding his hand tightly, her cheeks flushed slightly, yet she still gave a polite smile.

She nodded, considering it a greeting.

Lin Chen felt her unease and gently squeezed her hand.

He gave her a reassuring look, then smiled and said to Zhang Peng and the others:

"Let me introduce you, this is Li Sisi,"

"She is also the manager of my Qichen Investment Company, and... my girlfriend."

Lin Chen said the last few words very naturally, with a hint of doting in his voice.

His gaze fell on Li Sisi, full of tenderness.

When Li Sisi heard the words "girlfriend,"

Her cheeks instantly turned crimson; she looked up at Lin Chen with a gaze full of shyness and joy.

But she didn't refute it; instead, she nodded gently, tacitly accepting the identity.

"Holy crap! Brother Chen, you're amazing!"

Zhang Peng was the first to react and couldn't help but shout.

His face was full of excitement and envy.

"How long has it been, and you already have such a beautiful girlfriend?"

"And she's even your company's manager—beautiful and capable. Brother Chen, you're too smooth!"

Li Lei also quickly chimed in, his eyes full of amazement:

"Yeah, Brother Chen, Sister Sisi is just too beautiful,"

"Her temperament is great too. Your taste is absolutely top-notch!"

Wu Gang also nodded and said with a smile:

"Brother Chen, you've kept this hidden too well. You're only bringing out such a beautiful girlfriend to show us now."

"Quick, Sister Sisi, sit down, please sit!"

The few of them chimed in one after another, their voices full of envy and shock.

Their eyes kept lingering on Li Sisi, making her feel increasingly embarrassed.

Her cheeks were burning hot; she could only lower her head and gently tug at the corner of Lin Chen's clothes.

Lin Chen smiled, ruffled her hair, and said to Zhang Peng and the others:

"Alright, stop staring. If you keep looking, I'm going to get angry."

His tone carried a bit of a joke and a hint of possessiveness.

"Fine, fine, we won't look, we won't look."

Zhang Peng quickly waved his hands and said with a smile.

"Brother Chen, hurry and have Sister Sisi sit. We were just waiting for the two of you; the food is almost cold."

Lin Chen nodded, holding Li Sisi's hand.

He walked to the table, pulled out a chair, and let Li Sisi sit down.

Then he sat down beside her, subconsciously shielding her; the movement was natural and intimate.

After Li Sisi sat down, Zhang Peng quickly poured her a glass of juice.

He said with a smile, "Sister Sisi, I didn't know if you drink alcohol, so I poured you some juice first. Please, make yourself at home."

"Thank you."

Li Sisi took the juice and gave a polite smile, her voice gentle.

"I'm not much of a drinker, so juice is fine."

"No problem, juice is fine."

Zhang Peng said with a smile, his eyes full of enthusiasm.

"Sister Sisi, are you the manager of Brother Chen's company?"

"The three of us are also minor shareholders in the company. We hope you'll lead us to make a fortune."

Li Sisi smiled and said modestly:

"Not at all, it's just Lin Chen thinking highly of me. Making a fortune depends on Lin Chen's leadership!"

She was telling the truth; if it weren't for Lin Chen's trust and giving her this opportunity,

She could never have become the manager of Qichen Investment at such a young age.

"What do you mean 'thinking highly'? Sisi is naturally very capable."

Lin Chen chimed in, his tone carrying a bit of pride.

"All the company's affairs, big and small, will be handled by Sisi from now on."

"I'm only responsible for directional guidance and decision-making. Without her, the company wouldn't be able to develop so quickly."

"Everyone can look forward to her work. I believe Sisi's experience and ability will lead to great results."

Hearing Lin Chen's praise, Li Sisi's heart felt warm.

She looked up at him, her eyes full of tenderness and gratitude.

Zhang Peng and the others watched the interaction between the two, their eyes full of envy.

They glanced at each other, both seeing shock and admiration in the other's eyes.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chen not only did well in his career but was also so skilled at dating.

And he was so good to his girlfriend, doting on her like this.

"Brother Chen, you're way too doting on Sister Sisi."

Li Lei said with a smile, "We're all envious."

Lin Chen laughed and reached out to gently pinch Li Sisi's cheek.

His tone was suggestive, "But a girl as good as Sisi is hard to find."

Li Sisi's cheek felt itchy from his pinch, and she couldn't help but laugh, reaching out to pat his hand.

She pouted playfully, "Stop it, there are people here."

"What's there to be afraid of? They aren't outsiders."

Lin Chen smiled and didn't stop; instead, he rubbed her hair even more affectionately.

Zhang Peng and the others watched the flirtatious interaction between the two.

They all laughed knowingly and didn't disturb them.

The atmosphere in the private room instantly became lively and harmonious.

Zhang Peng and the others served food to Lin Chen and Li Sisi.

While chatting with Lin Chen, they asked about what business the company was about to engage in.

They would also occasionally chat with Li Sisi, their tone enthusiastic and polite.

At first, Li Sisi was a bit reserved, but with Lin Chen's company and Zhang Peng and the others' warm hospitality,

She gradually relaxed and would occasionally chat with them, her smile gentle and her conversation refined.

After several rounds of drinks and food, Zhang Peng was feeling a bit tipsy.

He leaned in close to Lin Chen and lowered his voice.

His tone was suggestive.

"Brother Chen, you're something else. Sister Sisi is beautiful, capable, and so considerate to you."

"You better hold on tight and not let anyone else snatch her away."

Lin Chen smiled and glanced at Li Sisi, who was eating with her head down beside him.

His eyes were full of tenderness and doting, his voice firm.

"Don't worry, she's mine. No one can take her away."

Li Lei also added,

"Brother Chen, your pick-up skills are impressive. Why don't you teach us?"

"You still have those campus belles waiting for you!"

Wu Gang had drunk less and heard Li Lei start to let things slip.

"Isn't this just exposing the fact that Brother Chen is two-timing?"
