Chapter 187: Inexplicably Jealous
In the afternoon, Peter Zhang suddenly came here and clamored to see Lin Yilan. Lin Yilan thought that Peter Zhang was Huo Juncheng's partner, and it was difficult for her to refuse. She had no choice but to tell Chu Siran that they would go out to play together tomorrow and meet Peter Zhang in the afternoon.
Lin Yilan knew that Peter Zhang had come to her just to ask her to teach him martial arts. These days, Lin Yilan had video chats with Peter Zhang, and although she only taught him a few things perfunctorily, Peter Zhang was like a "studious baby" and was having a lot of fun learning.
His martial arts have also improved a lot. He suddenly came here and said that he wanted to thank Lin Yilan. Lin Yilan didn't need his thanks at all. She would rather play with Chu Siran than go out to eat with Peter Zhang.
She originally thought that Peter Zhang's visit here was really just his personal trip, but she didn't expect that Huo Juncheng and Lin Yilan said that there were some follow-up matters to be dealt with regarding the cooperation between the company and Peter Zhang, and they wanted Lin Yilan to attend as his female companion.
"Are we going this afternoon?" Lin Yilan asked Huo Juncheng while chewing potato chips.
"Well, it's better to resolve this kind of thing as soon as possible. Besides, I have other things to do tomorrow and may not be able to discuss the contract with Peter Zhang."
But didn't Peter Zhang say he'd treat Lin Yilan to dinner this afternoon? So what exactly did Peter Zhang mean? Lin Yilan didn't say this to Huo Juncheng. She swallowed the potato chips in her mouth and called Peter Zhang.
"Pete Zhang, Huo Juncheng told me that you guys were going to discuss a collaboration this afternoon, right? Then why did you invite me to dinner?"
"Master, I've already told my assistant to explain this to Mr. Huo. Since I've made a dinner appointment with you this afternoon, I can't go back on my word. Cooperation is nothing, and delaying it for two days won't matter."
Hearing Peter Zhang say this, Lin Yilan laughed unkindly, hung up the phone, and looked at Huo Juncheng who was not far away. "Huo Juncheng, let me tell you something. Peter Zhang may not have time to discuss cooperation with you this afternoon because..."
Before Lin Yilan finished speaking, Huo Juncheng's phone rang. The assistant just happened to tell Huo Juncheng that Peter Zhang was not available in the afternoon and said they would make an appointment another day.
"How do you know that Peter Zhang is not free this afternoon?" Huo Juncheng hung up the phone and looked at the smiling Lin Yilan with a confused look on his face.
Looking at Huo Juncheng like this, Lin Yilan deliberately wanted to whet his appetite, and replied mysteriously, "Because I just called Peter Zhang, and he said he wanted to thank me for teaching him martial arts and invited me to dinner."
Hearing Lin Yilan's words, Huo Juncheng immediately replied decisively, "No, I won't allow it."
"Why? He just invited me to dinner. What's the big deal? And how can I refuse? I don't work every day, so I can't refuse."
"That won't work either."
Lin Yilan looked at Huo Juncheng's determined face and couldn't understand why he suddenly got angry. "What's wrong with you? Are you angry because Peter Zhang canceled his afternoon appointment with you because he wanted to have dinner with me?"
"You!" Huo Juncheng looked at Lin Yilan's grinning face and felt the urge to beat her up. Why didn't this woman understand? Who was Peter Zhang? He was a "legendary figure" with a fondness for beautiful women and a ton of gossip. Was he really treating Lin Yilan to dinner just to thank her? How could that be possible?
"You are my fiancée, how can you eat with other men casually? Either go out with Chu Siran, or stay at the Huo family honestly."
Hearing what Huo Juncheng said, Lin Yilan's temper suddenly flared up. She could go wherever she wanted, but Huo Juncheng actually wanted to restrict her freedom. How could it be possible!
"I won't go. The more you tell me not to go, the more I'm going. So what if she's your fiancée? Doesn't that mean she doesn't have personal freedom? I don't care. I'm going, and I'm going now!"
"If you want to go, I'll go with you!" Huo Juncheng said this directly after hearing Lin Yilan's words. After saying it, he felt something was wrong and added, "We are discussing cooperation."
Okay, since Huo Juncheng said so, Lin Yilan couldn't refuse. Then, the two of them went to the restaurant that Peter Zhang had booked.
Peter Zhang obviously didn't expect Huo Juncheng to come over. When he saw Huo Juncheng, he was slightly surprised. "Why is Mr. Huo here? I only made an appointment with my master today, not Mr. Huo."
It was not known if it was Lin Yilan's illusion, but when Peter saw Huo Juncheng, Lin Yilan felt that Peter Zhang seemed a little unhappy. "It's okay, it's just a meal, let's go together. It's a good opportunity for Huo Juncheng to talk to you about cooperation."
"Forget it. I think it's better for us to discuss the cooperation in a few days at the company. I just want to treat Yilan to a meal. If Mr. Huo wants to eat, you can consider going to another restaurant. After all, I only reserved two tables."
Hearing Peter Zhang's words, Lin Yilan smiled awkwardly, glanced at Peter Zhang, and tried to help Huo Juncheng out. "Then let's go to another restaurant to eat, okay?"
"Oh no, Master, you don't know how difficult it is to book this restaurant. I finally made a reservation here, how can I just not eat? Besides, I also booked a movie tonight after dinner and wanted to go to the movie with you."
"Forget about the movie... Hey, how about we make an appointment next time? This restaurant is so hard to book, so you can find a friend to eat with you. Huo Juncheng and I will go somewhere else first."
Lin Yilan laughed dryly and stood up to leave. Peter Zhang quickly grabbed Lin Yilan and said, "Master, didn't you agree to have dinner with me? Why did you suddenly change your mind now? You're already here, so why would you leave? Besides, isn't keeping promises the most important thing in your country?"
That was indeed the case, but she couldn't abandon Huo Juncheng and have dinner with Peter Zhang alone, right? Besides, she didn't really want to have dinner with Peter Zhang...
Lin Yilan looked at Peter Zhang's little expression, which seemed to be so cute as if he was acting coquettishly, but when she looked at Huo Juncheng's face, it had already turned extremely dark, so what should she do now?
Lin Yilan was still hesitating, and Huo Juncheng simply grabbed Lin Yilan and walked out. Peter Zhang wanted to stand up to stop him, but when he saw Huo Juncheng's frighteningly cold face, he shrank his neck and did not move forward.
When they got outside, Huo Juncheng pushed Lin Yilan against the wall. Their eyes met. "Why didn't you reject Peter Zhang just now? Do you like him?"
"Huo Juncheng, are you sick? Why do I like him? I'm just thinking about how to reject him. Besides, why are you so excited? It's as if I've committed some horrific crime. Is it really that serious?"
"Why not? Peter Zhang specially invited you to dinner. Do you really think it's just to thank you for teaching him martial arts? Do you know what kind of person he is? He just asked you to dinner and you agreed?"
