This woman arrived uninvited and clung to Ye Chen's arm, leaving Zhang Xinlan completely stunned.
She was none other than Su Binglan, the gorgeous pilot.
"Is this the woman you've been pining for?" Su Binglan looked toward Zhang Xinlan and said, "She does look decent and has an alright figure, but she's not even giving you the time of day!"
When Su Binglan saw Zhang Xinlan, she knew she was facing a formidable rival.
However, it seemed that Zhang Xinlan was somewhat hostile toward Ye Chen, which delighted Su Binglan.
"Who is she?" Zhang Xinlan asked Ye Chen seriously and earnestly.
Just now, Zhang Xinlan had wanted Ye Chen to leave, but now she was getting anxious again, afraid that he might actually walk away!
"Su Binglan, my admirer, is currently pursuing me!" Ye Chen said.
As he spoke, Ye Chen was visibly exuberant. Su Binglan was exceptionally beautiful, and the fact that she was pursuing him was a point of pride among his fellow men.
"Wrong, I'm not your admirer, I'm your girlfriend!" Su Binglan interjected at that moment. "It seems you've said that if you can't prove you have a girlfriend, you'll obediently accept me!"
"Zhang Xinlan, my girlfriend!" Ye Chen said reluctantly, pointing at Zhang Xinlan.
"Hahaha~!" Su Binglan glanced at Zhang Xinlan and burst into laughter instantly. "You're joking, right? She clearly doesn't care about you. I even heard her telling you to disappear just now!"
Su Binglan was a great beauty with a charming aura, and her laughter was as radiant as a field of blossoming flowers – breathtakingly beautiful.
"Yan, who is this woman?" Liu Shihua couldn't help but ask Li Yan.
"Su Binglan, a friend of mine. She's been single for decades and now, for some unknown reason, she's got a crush on Ye Chen!" Li Yan said and sighed slightly. "I'm really at my wit's end; she was never this foolish before. Is this the consequence of falling in love with someone?!"
Su Binglan's provocative gaze put Zhang Xinlan on edge and made her somewhat afraid of Su stealing Ye Chen away.
Whether on impulse or out of inevitability, Zhang Xinlan stepped forward confidently and said, "I am Ye Chen's girlfriend. We were just having an argument, sorry to have caused you amusement."
"Ye Chen, come over here!" Zhang Xinlan summoned Ye Chen.
"At your service!" Ye Chen grinned from ear to ear; Su Binglan's uninvited appearance actually worked to his great advantage!
At the sound of Zhang Xinlan's words, Su Binglan felt like she was about to spit out a mouthful of old blood.
Liu Shihua and Li Yan were simply astonished.
"Stop kidding, I've been eavesdropping for a while, and you guys are definitely not in that kind of relationship," Su Binglan said.
"We really are in that kind of relationship!" Zhang Xinlan retorted with a provocatively light smile.
Ye Chen obediently stood by Zhang Xinlan's side, watching the two women spar. It felt good to be fought over by beautiful women!
"You think I'll believe you just because you say so?" Su Binglan scoffed. "Ye Chen is my ultimate male god; even if you don't want him, I won't let you keep him on the back burner!"
Su Binglan stated her case clearly. There are always some women in society who like to play such games, clutching onto something they don't even like, just to keep it as a backup option!
"Ye Chen and I have already discussed marriage, see?" Zhang Xinlan said happily, showing off her jade hand with a silver ring bearing a little star on it. "This is Ye Chen's engagement ring for me. The little star on it represents Ye Chen. Do you get my drift?"
Indeed, that silver ring was a gift from Ye Chen to Zhang Xinlan, and its implicit meaning was curious. To call it an engagement ring wouldn't be too far off.
"He gave that to you?" Seeing the ring, Su Binglan was visibly shocked.
Ye Chen nodded.
Zhang Xinlan laughed triumphantly, having the upper hand. She had wanted to throw away that ring several times, but ultimately, she hadn't had the heart to do it. Heaven rewards the diligent, and she had finally waited out this rascal.
At this moment, with Su Binglan's arrival, Zhang Xinlan felt the threat and truly realized that she indeed cared a great deal for Ye Chen!
"Go ahead and bluff!" Su Binglan scorned the two of them. "Who would propose with a street stall ring? Think you can deceive me? No way!"
Zhang Xinlan, hearing Su Binglan say that the ring Ye Chen gave her was cheap street vendor merchandise, instantly felt unhappy. This woman was certainly beautiful, but why were her words always so prickly!
"Love is priceless!" Ye Chen, honest and forthright, spoke earnestly. In his heart, love was indeed priceless!
Indeed, upon hearing Ye Chen's words, Zhang Xinlan's expression softened, and she felt a little thrilled inside.
Su Binglan looked at Ye Chen, very unhappy.
But she really didn't want to give up. She had lived so long and had only just found someone who moved her heart. Even if she was older than him, even if he already had a girlfriend, she was determined to snatch Ye Chen away!
"No matter what you say, it's useless. I just like Ye Chen!" Su Binglan declared.
That bold confession was undoubtedly the most incisive attack, and Zhang Xinlan felt like she had been struck by an arrow.
"She doesn't believe it," Ye Chen said.
"Then prove it to her!" Zhang Xinlan was ready to risk it all; today she had to repel her strong rival.
"Alright!"
Ye Chen stepped closer to Zhang Xinlan, wrapped his arms around her waist, and made an intimate gesture.
"Do you believe it now?" Zhang Xinlan taunted Su Binglan.
"Hehe." Ye Chen giggled goofily, overwhelmed with sudden happiness!
"So what if you're boyfriend and girlfriend? So what if you get married?" Su Binglan refused to be crushed. "The man I like, I will definitely have him, even if you have children, I'll still steal him away from you!"
By the end of her speech, Su Binglan was practically dripping with dominance, her presence unbounded.
Zhang Xinlan: "..."
Li Yan: "..."
Liu Shihua: "..."
The words that came out of Su Binglan's mouth left everyone present deeply moved.
They were all goddess-like figures, usually high above, turning the world upside down, accustomed to being surrounded by adoring men.
However, Su Binglan discarded her halo for Ye Chen, spouting such a remark without hesitation!
Li Yan was most shocked by Su Binglan's behavior, as she knew Su Binglan's background well.
Su Binglan was a proud daughter of heaven, her family also a powerful clan in the capital. But she refused to be confined by her family and be used as a tool for an arranged marriage. As a single woman, she achieved tremendous success in her career. She was not only a beautiful pilot but also the behind-the-scenes owner of a company.
Such a female BOSS figure, even if not comparable to Chu Yanran, was still among the most dazzling ones!
But Li Yan never imagined that Su Binglan would not only pursue Ye Chen but, in front of everyone, would utter such a shameless declaration.
Only Ye Chen was delighted, smiling radiantly. For Su Binglan to pursue him, he couldn't pretend to be unhappy.
"I will keep a close eye on him!" Zhang Xinlan declared boldly, never fearing any challenge.
Su Binglan made her intentions very clear. She aimed to be the other woman, to conquer Ye Chen, and that serious look in her eyes made Zhang Xinlan consider the situation gravely.
Even if Zhang Xinlan trusted Ye Chen's self-control, but in this world of endless temptations and imperfections, who could truly remain untainted?
"Yan, I'm leaving!" Su Binglan glanced at Ye Chen, then turned and left. "We grew up together. From now on, Ye Chen is your brother-in-law. You must take good care of him!"
