<h4>Chapter 1405: Chapter 1713: Jiang Hao’s Girlfriend (2)</h4>


    Regarding Nanrong Hao’s special request, the waiter had no choice but to find the restaurant manager. Shortly, the manager came over to Nanrong Hao, smiling, and said: "Mr. Nanrong, don’t worry, we’ll make sure you’re satisfied."


    "You know me? That’s good. Just so you know, if things don’t go well, I won’t hesitate to ruin your restaurant."


    "Yes, of course." The manager quickly retreated.


    At this moment, the beauty at the next table noticed Nanrong Hao’s gaze repeatedly drifting toward her, and she couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed. However, she said nothing, just lowered her head, ignoring Nanrong Hao’s eyes. Sensing his girlfriend’s difort, Jiang Hao asked concernedly, "Liu Xin, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"


    "No." The beauty named Liu Xin gently shook her head and whispered: "The guys at the opposite table keep looking at me. I don’t like that look."


    Hearing this, Jiang Hao frowned and said seriously, "Wait here, I’ll deal with them."


    "No." Liu Xin quickly grabbed Jiang Hao’s hand, "Don’t go. It’s rare for us to have time to go out on a date today. Let’s not let those few people ruin the mood. How about we change seats?"


    "How can that be? My girlfriend isn’t someone anyone can just stare at." Saying this, Jiang Hao patted Liu Xin’s delicate shoulder and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll just talk to them and reason it out. I won’t get physical."


    With that, Jiang Hao stood up despite Liu Xin’s attempts to dissuade him, turned to look at the table behind, and said coldly, "You guys... uh!"


    No sooner had he spoken than Jiang Hao froze. At this moment, Ling Chen and his twopanions were sitting in a row, smiling at Jiang Hao, and asked, "What about us?"


    Hearing Ling Chen speak, Jiang Hao finally came to his senses and said with a wry smile, "Chen, howe you guys are here?"


    "We’re here for a meal. We thought about inviting you, but you seemed too busy. So we didn’t call you. It’s okay; you keep busy. We’ll eat without disturbing you."


    With a face of helplessness, Jiang Hao said, "Chen, can’t I just admit I was wrong?" After speaking, Jiang Hao coughed lightly and turned to Liu Xin, saying, "Xinxin, let me introduce you."


    Liu Xin curiously walked to Jiang Hao’s side and asked, "You know them?"


    "This is Ling Chen, this is Haozi, and this is Zhao Zhengxiong. They’re all like brothers to me, my closest friends."


    Zhao Zhengxiong chimed in with a smile, "Brothers are brothers, but whether we’re the closest isn’t certain. Chen, what do you think?"


    Ling Chen nodded and said, "True, having a girlfriend and not telling your brothers."


    "Yes, yes, my mistake." Jiang Hao hurriedly admitted his fault: "Chen, I was wrong; how about I punish myself with three drinks?"


    "Alright! Just joking with you,e and sit down." Ling Chen pointed to the seat beside them and said, "Haozi specially ordered nine dishes for you guys, soter we can all eat together." At this point, Ling Chen apologized to Liu Xin, "Miss Liu, sorry for interrupting your date."


    Liu Xin smiled slightly: "It’s fine, I’m d to meet Jiang Hao’s friends. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself; I’m Liu Xin, a middle school Chinese teacher."


    "Pleased to meet you. Jiang Hao is lucky to have you as his girlfriend. If he ever dares to bully you, just let me know, and I’ll set him straight."


    "Jiang Hao, we’ve known each other for so long, howe you’ve never mentioned your friends?"


    Jiang Hao coughed lightly and awkwardly smiled: "I was waiting for the right moment to tell you."


    Liu Xin rolled her eyes at Jiang Hao, "What’s a right moment then? Does it have to be when we’re married?" Without waiting for Jiang Hao to respond, Liu Xi looked at Ling Chen and hispanions and said: "I’ve been curious; we’ve been dating for months now, and I’ve never met his friends. It’s like he’s doing something shady."


    Nanrong Hao helped smooth things over: "Actually, it’s not Jiang Hao’s fault. We’re often on business trips, rarely staying in East Sea City, and this time it’s a rare opportunity to gather together."


    "Business trips? What kind of work do you do?"


    "I’m with Hongyu..." Nanrong Hao was about to exin when he felt a kick on his left foot. Looking up, he saw Jiang Hao winking at him incessantly.


    "Xinxin, Haozi works for Hongyu Group, they’re often on business trips," Jiang Hao quickly filled in.


    Liu Xin nodded and then turned her gaze to Zhao Zhengxiong. Before Zhao Zhengxiong could speak, Jiang Hao immediately said, "Xiong is in the small business of selling alcohol."


    "Haha! I’m currently unemployed, not doing anything," Ling Chen jokingly interjected. Although he didn’t understand what Jiang Hao was up to, Ling Chen yed along.


    "Haozi, Xiong, chat with Xinxin for a while. I’m going to get some wine with Chen." With that, Jiang Hao gave Ling Chen a look and then walked toward the restaurant counter with him.


    "What are you up to?" Ling Chen asked puzzled, "Are you afraid your girlfriend will find out our real identities?"


    "Chen, I really have no choice. I can’t very well tell her I’m involved in shady business, right? When we first met, she told me she dislikes those little punks who loiter and cause trouble everywhere, even corrupting students in schools. If I told her I’m the leader of those punks, she’d definitely dump me."


    Jiang Hao was full of helplessness: "Chen, I really like her, please help me and don’t expose me."


    "Even if you keep it a secret now, what about the future? Are you nning to hide it from her forever? I think you guys have been dating long enough, and since you know each other so well, why not try telling her the truth? She might ept it. After all, women hate being deceived the most, and you’re ying with fire here."


    "I know, that’s why I’m so troubled right now and don’t know what to do. Otherwise, I’d have taken her to meet you guys long ago."


    "As long as you’re sincere, I think she shouldn’t mind." Pausing, Ling Chen asked, "What did you tell her you do for a living?"


    "I told her I’m a bar owner and that I run a small bar."


    That exins it!


    Ling Chen nodded to himself; earlier, when he saw Jiang Hao outside the restaurant, he noticed he was driving a Hyundai sedan. That car was bought a long time ago, and since he got a luxury car, he hadn’t driven it. At the time, he thought it was odd; Jiang Hao has several multi-million-dor cars, so why drive an old car to pick up his girlfriend? Now, after his exnation, he understood.


    "Although I, as a brother, want to help, this is the kind of thing you’ll have to solve yourself. Like I said earlier, the sooner you find an opportunity to tell her the truth and ask for her forgiveness, the less likely things will get worse."
