CHAPTER 36: CHAPTER 36: YOU BE THE GROOM

Li Jianxing brought people in a small car to chase Lin Fan and Su Jinjin. He originally thought that Lin Fan was on an electric bike, so how could he outrun a car?

However, as a delivery rider, Lin Fan knew the streets and alleys of Yun City like the back of his hand. Plus, the electric bike could go into narrow alleys where the car couldn’t fit. With twists and turns, Lin Fan shook off Li Jianxing and his men.

Li Jianxing and his group were left dizzy, and by the time they realized, Lin Fan and Su Jinjin were long gone.

Li Jianxing flew into a rage, "Lin Fan, how dare you run off with my wife? I’ll kill you!"

Zheng Xue’e was also very angry and immediately ordered people to track down Lin Fan and Su Jinjin’s whereabouts: "We must bring Jinjin back. The marriage alliance between the Li and Su families must not be ruined by her!"

In a quiet alley, Lin Fan carried Su Jinjin, with no cars chasing them anymore.

Lin Fan had successfully shaken them off.

Su Jinjin was very happy and breathed a sigh of relief. She definitely didn’t want to be taken back.

"Lin Fan, thank you for helping me," Su Jinjin said gratefully. If it weren’t for Lin Fan, she certainly wouldn’t have been able to escape.

Lin Fan said, "Do you have somewhere you want to go? I can take you there."

Su Jinjin said blankly, "No... I definitely can’t go home, and my best friend isn’t in the city... Lin Fan, if it’s inconvenient for you, just let me off here."

Lin Fan said, "It’s late at night, and you’re still wearing a wedding dress. I can’t just leave you here. Since I brought you out, I need to ensure your safety. How about this, I’ll take you to my place."

Lin Fan took Su Jinjin back to the apartment he rented.

Lin Shanshan had just finished showering, holding an apple and eating it while chatting with Cheng Xiaolu on WeChat.

Cheng Xiaolu had been asking about Lin Fan’s situation.

"Shanshan, tell me honestly, does your brother have a girlfriend?" Cheng Xiaolu finally asked the most pressing question.

Lin Shanshan said, "No, my brother’s been single for three years... Why do you ask? You’re not thinking of becoming my sister-in-law, are you?"

Cheng Xiaolu laughed, "Yes, do you think I have a chance?"

Just then, Lin Fan pushed the door open, followed by a stunning beauty in a wedding dress.

Lin Shanshan dropped her apple in shock and said to the other end of the WeChat, "Little Lu, I don’t think you have much hope."

She hung up the WeChat call and exclaimed, "Brother, what’s going on? Where did you abduct a bride from? Are you getting married today, and you didn’t even tell me?"

Lin Fan led Su Jinjin inside, closed the door, and said, "Let me introduce, she’s Su Jinjin, and she’s my sister Lin Shanshan."

Su Jinjin smiled and said, "Hello, Shanshan."

At first, when Lin Fan said he would take her home, Su Jinjin felt a bit awkward, as they were alone and their relationship was ambiguous. It could easily lead to rumors.

It wasn’t until she learned that Lin Fan had a sister living with him that she felt relieved.

Lin Shanshan was even more shocked, "Su Jinjin? You’re my brother’s ex... What is going on here?"

Although she hadn’t met Su Jinjin, she knew about Lin Fan and Su Jinjin’s past relationship, which was the most surprising part.

Lin Fan said, "Jinjin ran away from her wedding."

Lin Shanshan laughed, "Runaway bride? Brother, are you saying you took your ex-girlfriend from her wedding? That’s amazing, brother, I’m in awe."

Lin Fan sweated, "Stop saying that, I didn’t take her away. She wanted to run away herself."

Lin Shanshan curiously asked Su Jinjin, "Why did you run away yourself?"

Lin Fan also wanted to know why.

Su Jinjin sat on the sofa and said, "I have no feelings for Li Jianxing. I only met him for the first time a week ago. Our marriage is an alliance between the Li and Su families. The Su Family Company is not doing well, and only by attaching ourselves to the Li Family is there hope. If I don’t marry Li Jianxing, the Su Family might be finished. I’m just a pawn, and my family is forcing me to be that pawn, but I don’t want to be."

Lin Shanshan nodded, "I see! How did you find my brother, then?"

Lin Fan said, "Tonight I was at a class reunion, which coincidentally was at the same place as her wedding, and she recognized me..."

Lin Fan briefly explained what happened.

Lin Shanshan laughed, "You two are really meant to be. Brother, maybe you should just be the groom."

At her words, Su Jinjin couldn’t help but blush.

Lin Fan sweated, "Lin Shanshan, that’s enough. Tonight, you’ll share the room with Jinjin, I’ll continue sleeping on the sofa."

He only had one room, and since Lin Shanshan arrived, he had been sleeping on the sofa.

Lin Shanshan laughed, "Alright, I’m just joking. Sister Jinjin, I’ll take you to the room to change clothes first."

Su Jinjin said, "Thank you, Shanshan."

Then Su Jinjin went to the room with Lin Shanshan.

Lin Fan watched her go in and took one last look at her in the wedding dress, feeling a bit complicated.

Back then, in romantic moments, he swore to give Su Jinjin a perfect wedding, making her the most beautiful and happiest bride in the world.

He imagined countless times how Su Jinjin would look in a wedding dress, but he never thought it would be like this.

Su Jinjin in a wedding dress was indeed beautiful, stunning even, but it was a terrible, failed wedding, very embarrassing.

Embarrassing to the extreme.

Moreover, it had nothing to do with him.

Three years ago, the powerful Su Family shattered all his dreams.

Su Jinjin entered the room, removed her makeup, took off the wedding dress, and put on Lin Shanshan’s clothes. Their figures were similar, so it fit well enough.

The bare-faced Su Jinjin still amazed Lin Fan.

She looked so good, unchanged from three years ago, still full of youthful charm and beauty.

Memories of everything about Su Jinjin surged like a tide.

Su Jinjin sat down next to Lin Fan with a bit of nervousness.

Since leaving Lin Fan, she had imagined countless times reuniting with him, but never thought it would be like this.

"I need to apologize to you. Sorry for getting you misunderstood tonight," Su Jinjin said awkwardly.

Lin Fan smiled slightly, "It’s nothing. I don’t care what they think."

Su Jinjin responded with a hmm, and knew that Lin Fan was still Lin Fan, so distinctive.

Su Jinjin changed the topic, "Lin Fan, have you been well in these three years? Are you working as a delivery rider now?"

She hadn’t expected Lin Fan to be a delivery rider and was indeed a bit surprised when she learned.

Thinking Su Jinjin looked down on her brother, Lin Shanshan couldn’t help but say, "My brother, he actually..."

She wanted to tell Su Jinjin that although her brother seemed to be a delivery rider, he was actually very wealthy, richer than everyone in the Su Family combined.

But Lin Fan’s look stopped Lin Shanshan.

Lin Fan said, "Yes, I’m working as a delivery rider."

Lin Shanshan explained, "My brother used to work in a company, but he was set up and lost his job, so he’s temporarily working as a delivery rider."

She was a bit puzzled why her brother didn’t want her to reveal he had money. Wasn’t he afraid Su Jinjin would look down on him?

Su Jinjin laughed, "Shanshan, don’t misunderstand. I don’t look down on delivery riders. Any legitimate job where you earn money through your own efforts deserves respect."

Lin Fan knew well that Su Jinjin wasn’t someone who looked down on the poor and favored the rich, or she wouldn’t have dated a poor guy like him back then.

He didn’t let Lin Shanshan say he was wealthy because he felt it unnecessary.

Lin Fan said, "Do you have any plans for the future, Jinjin?"

Su Jinjin said blankly, "I don’t know yet."

Lin Fan said, "You can stay here for now."

Even if Su Jinjin stayed at his place permanently, he wouldn’t mind.

Su Jinjin said, "Okay."

She just felt that meeting Lin Fan tonight was really great.

That night, Su Jinjin slept in the room with Lin Shanshan, and Lin Fan slept on the sofa.

The next morning, Lin Fan turned over on the sofa and sat up.

"Ding!"
