CHAPTER 276: CHAPTER 276 FIRST KISS GIVEN TO YOU (1)

"Good day, Mr. Chu!" A few beautiful women smiled like flowers, their voices sweet and charming, each with their own allure.

However, Chu Chen was not the kind of lascivious person who would get excited at the sight of a beautiful woman. With a cold face and tightly furrowed brows, he said coldly to the manager, "Tell your people to stay away from me."

"Sure, sure. If you have any requests, just let us know, and we’ll do our best to meet them." This was a god of wealth they had been eagerly awaiting. It felt like winning the jackpot to have him visit, so the manager didn’t dare show any negligence!

Ignoring the sycophants and those who tried overly hard to be friendly, Chu Chen had seen many like this. Looking at the flattering smile on the manager’s face, Chu Chen felt disgusted and didn’t bother to respond. Instead, he focused his gaze on Ruan Pianran.

She seemed to be in a deep sleep, not waking up even as he carried her from the car into the hotel, all the noise and clamor isolated from her dreams!

"Get the room card," Chu Chen said expressionlessly to the driver standing beside him, then carried Ruan Pianran straight ahead.

At his words, the alert manager immediately took out the prepared room card and handed it to the driver, saying, "This is the card for the presidential suite on the tenth floor."

"Thank you." The driver quickly took the room card and then hurriedly followed Chu Chen.

Perhaps Chu Chen’s presence was too overwhelming. Sharing the elevator with him made the driver nervous and uncomfortable. He even breathed cautiously to minimize his presence until the elevator reached the tenth floor and the doors opened, when he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You can leave now." After the driver opened the room door and inserted the card, Chu Chen dismissed him.

Should he go back down? Should he go home?

The driver wanted to ask but didn’t dare to speak up. He lowered his head and silently drifted away.

With a "bang," Chu Chen gently closed the door with his leg and then steadily carried Ruan Pianran toward the large bed inside the room.

"What are you doing?" The moment her body landed on the soft bed, Ruan Pianran suddenly opened her eyes, sleepily but warily looking at Chu Chen.

"What do you think I’m doing?" Chu Chen had never taken care of a woman like this before, not even his own mother. Seeing Ruan Pianran’s wary little eyes, Chu Chen felt stifled and retorted angrily.

Even though Chu Chen sounded righteous, Ruan Pianran, being a woman with a strong sense of crisis, quickly realized her situation. She found herself lying on the bed with Chu Chen’s half body hovering over her and his hand on her back!

Clearly, he must be up to no good!

Confirming this "fact," Ruan Pianran immediately went berserk. She lifted her leg, trying to kick Chu Chen away while cursing, "Pervert! Beast! Stay away from me!"

Among his five brothers, Chu Chen’s martial skills were the weakest, but he was still better trained than the average person. Therefore, as Ruan Pianran kicked at him, he quickly twisted his body to dodge and then firmly pressed her leg down, pinning her in place.

"You ungrateful woman!" Chu Chen looked down at Ruan Pianran, his words almost squeezed through his teeth in anger.

What did he mean by that?

Did he expect her to be grateful that he found her attractive while trying to take advantage of her? Wasn’t this man too arrogant and full of himself? So what if he’s rich and handsome!

Ruan Pianran thought furiously, wanting to kick Chu Chen off the bed, but her legs were restrained, leaving only her arms free. Given that he was a strong man, even if she used all her strength, she probably wouldn’t be his match. So, after careful consideration, she gave up on violence and calmly said, "For the sake of you being Jingjing’s husband’s friend, I won’t hold this against you, but you need to leave immediately!"

Not hold it against him?

He had spent time and effort bringing her here, and not only did she not thank him, but she also accused him of being a pervert and beast?

Dammit!

He had reached his limit!

Chu Chen angrily laughed, lifting a strand of hair from Ruan Pianran’s cheek, and asked, "If I don’t leave, how exactly do you plan to hold it against me?"

To be honest, Ruan Pianran had just sobered up and was reacting emotionally. Now that she had calmed down, facing Chu Chen’s teasing, she felt much more composed.

After all, they were friends of friends. Even if Chu Chen had some improper thoughts, he probably wouldn’t act on them out of respect for Mi Jing and Shen Lingxing.

"You look like someone who submits easily," Ruan Pianran said expressionlessly.

Submit?

Chu Chen was not intimidated by Ruan Pianran’s aggressive words but rather infuriated!

Growing up, he had always had a youthful face, looking younger than his age, and because of his cute and charming appearance, he had once been teased by a classmate who said he was perfect for playing the submissive role. That classmate never showed up at school again afterward.

Since then, no one dared to joke with him like that again!

Ruan Pianran had stepped on a landmine! Like any normal man, who wanted to be called submissive? This was about a man’s dignity!

"Do you think you can handle me?" Chu Chen smiled softly, looking deceptively harmless with his cute, charming expression.

This left Ruan Pianran stunned. She thought a proud man like Chu Chen would have a strong ego and react aggressively to her words, either hitting her or storming out in anger. But Chu Chen’s reaction was completely unexpected—he didn’t hit her, didn’t leave, and didn’t even get angry!

The more calmly Chu Chen smiled, the more dangerous Ruan Pianran felt he was. She grew inexplicably nervous.

"I was just joking earlier, you..."

"Joking? I took it seriously."

Before Ruan Pianran could finish her words of conceding, Chu Chen interrupted, his smile growing even brighter.

"You... I’m sorry, I drank too much, I didn’t mean what I said. Please forgive me." Ruan Pianran, seeing how being tough wasn’t going to work, decided to apologize. For her, admitting defeat and apologizing were minor, but getting Chu Chen to leave was essential.

Damn! This woman had some clever tricks. However, Chu Chen felt unsatisfied and didn’t want to let her off so easily!

"If ’I’m sorry’ worked, why would we need the police?" Chu Chen said arrogantly, pinching Ruan Pianran’s chin.

Hearing that, Ruan Pianran rolled her eyes dramatically, thinking, Couldn’t he come up with a fresher line?

"Woman, what’s with that look?" Chu Chen asked, displeased.

"My name is Ruan Pianran. Please call me by my name." Although annoyed by Chu Chen’s constant "woman" and "ungrateful woman" labels, she spoke calmly, even with a hint of detached indifference.
