Chapter 825: Pretending to Be My Girlfriend

Wen Chi brought Ling Lin around and saw that it was almost time. He made up an excuse to say that he had to deal with some matters at the hospital and sent Ling Lin home.
Actually, Ling Lin knew that he was just making an excuse, but she couldn’t say anything.
When Wen Chi returned to his own residence, it was already past five in the afternoon.
He suddenly remembered something and immediately called Gu Huanhuan.
Gu Huanhuan was exercising on the treadmill at home when she was startled by the sudden phone call.
“Who is it?” Gu Huanhuan asked politely. Actually, she was waiting at home for news of the last audition. It had been two days, but there was still no news. She could only wait until Monday.
“It’s me. You didn’t save my number?” Wen Chi’s calm voice came from the other end of the phone.
Gu Huanhuan could tell at once. It was strange. She seemed to have saved his phone number previously.
“Uh, yes…” Gu Huanhuan suddenly stuttered.
“Do you have time? Didn’t you want to pay me back for the car repair? Shall we have dinner together later?” Wen Chi invited her.
“Okay, sure. Then let’s go to the usual place.” It was safe and convenient there.
“Alright, I’ll go pick you up,” Wen Chi suggested.
Gu Huanhuan hung up after agreeing.
She usually did not put on makeup when she was resting, let alone when she was going to eat. There was no need for that. She just wanted to have a relaxed meal.
Therefore, when Wen Chi came to pick her up, he was a little shocked to see her plain face and casual sportswear.
She was really different from what he knew. She did not seem to carry any celebrity baggage.
“Aren’t you afraid of being recognized?” Wen Chi was a little puzzled.
“There aren’t many people there, and it’s evening. Don’t be afraid. Besides, celebrities have to eat too, right?” Gu Huanhuan said heartlessly.
Wen Chi nodded and felt that she was right.
When they arrived, Gu Huanhuan ordered the dishes. She wanted to eat everything she saw. She had been hungry for a few days because of the audition that she had.
“What should we do? I really want to eat it.” Gu Huanhuan placed her index finger by her mouth, looking very troubled.
Wen Chi found it a little funny, but he also found her expression very cute.
“If you like it, then order it. If you can’t finish it, don’t you still have me?”
“However, you can’t eat too much at night. Just order a few things that you especially want to eat.”
Gu Huanhuan finally made up her mind.
When the boss took the menu and went to prepare it, Gu Huanhuan finally remembered what was important.
“Dr. Wen, you haven’t told me how much the repair fee is,” Gu Huanhuan asked anxiously.
“Well, there’s no rush. I want to discuss something with you. Then, we’ll be even. You don’t have to pay me for the repair.” Wen Chi looked at her seriously.
Gu Huanhuan’s heart skipped a beat. What happened? Why was he so serious?
“Well, it’s like this. My mother was urging me to get a girlfriend, and your commercial happened to be playing. Then, I pointed at it and told my mother that you were my girlfriend.” Wen Chi was still a little embarrassed when he said that.
Gu Huanhuan was dumbfounded.”What? Girlfriend?”
“Fake girlfriend,” Wen Chi quickly explained.
“You’re using me as a shield?” Gu Huanhuan was speechless.
“I’m sorry. I was in a hurry at that time. Moreover, you hit my car and I didn’t even hold it against you. You shouldn’t hold it against me for this matter, right?” Wen Chi carefully observed her expression.
Gu Huanhuan looked conflicted. She asked, “Then what do you need me to do?”
Wen Chi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. He said, “Just come home with me for a meal. I’ll tell my mother in the future that we’re not suitable for each other and that we’ve broken up.”
“Isn’t that lying to the elderly?” Gu Huanhuan frowned.
“That’s a white lie.” Wen Chi had a helpless look on his face. Actually, he didn’t want to, but there was nothing he could do.
