Han Chen's face darkened a little, and the brightness in his eyes became much dimmed. They knew each other well that Mrs. Han gave Lin Yike's white jade bracelet not just a gift, it was equivalent to a token of a close friend.

Lin Yike returned the bracelet, which was equivalent to rejecting the Han family's marriage.

Han Chen subconsciously clasped his palms and asked in a calm tone, "Don't you like that bracelet?"

"It's too expensive, it's not appropriate for me to accept it." Lin Yike answered.

"What do you think is inappropriate?" Han Chen raised his eyes, looked straight into Lin Yike's eyes, and asked in a pun.

Lin Yike was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Han Chen to ask so persistently.

She always said it very tactfully, just because she didn't want to hurt each other's affection. But Han Chen pressed her step by step, so she could only speak out directly.

"I'm not worthy of you." Lin Yike's tone was filled with a slight sigh.

"I don't think so." Han Chen replied, with a bit of heat in his eyes when he looked at Lin Yike.

Han Chen was also a young master born with a golden spoon in his mouth. There were so many girls around him since he was a child. Later, he entered the entertainment industry and had never seen any kind of beauties.

But Lin Yi is different. Her smile is always bright, but there is a faint sadness in her eyes. She does not have the pretentiousness of female celebrities in the entertainment industry. She treats others and herself very sincerely.

Lin Yi is not the rich peony she keeps. She is more like a sunflower blooming in the sun, living so brilliantly and vigorously.

As long as he approached her, Han Chen felt that he had become alive. He had never had such an impulse to marry her home impulse.

However, Lin Yike did not have any impulse when facing marriage, and she was even rational and excessive.

She knew very well that Han Chen was a good man and a good marriage partner, but she and him had no future at all.

Neither he nor his family would accept her past.

"In addition to each other's identity and family background, Han Chen, how much do you know about me?" Lin Yike spoke indifferently. This was the first time she called him his name, rather than respectfully calling him Teacher Han.

Han Chen had a moment of hesitation. Indeed, his understanding of Lin Yike was limited to her being the daughter of Deputy Mayor Lin Jianshan, and her profession was an actor.

"We have time to get to know each other slowly." Han Chen replied that his parents were in a political marriage, and they had never even met a few times before marriage, and they are living a happy life now.

Lin Yike shook his head lightly, some things can be understood slowly, but some cannot. If you wait until you break the window paper after marriage, it will be suspected of cheating.

"I'm not what you imagined. I'm not a simple little girl. I have a child who is almost two years old." Lin Yike said lightly, still without any emotion, as if he was telling someone else's affairs.

Han Chen was so shocked that he couldn't speak. After a while, he lost control and said, "How is that possible!"

Lin Yike smiled faintly, with a hint of irony and bitterness mixed in his smile.

"My parents divorced very early. The current Mrs. Lin is my stepmother and I have two half-sisters. To me, the Lin family is an unfathomable vortex full of exploitation and calculation. Two years ago, I was young and didn't know anything. I was plotted against by them and gave birth to a child.

This may sound incredible, but there are not many people who know it. Just ask for a little bit and you will know if what I said is true.

Han Chen, what you need is a girl with a talented and innocent wealth as your wife. You don’t need to get involved in this muddy water from the Lin family, and I don’t want to drag you into the water.”

The Han family was not originally from City A. It was this time when Han Qingming became the deputy mayor of City A. Their family moved to City A. Otherwise, they would have heard of Lin Yike's past. After all, thanks to Lu Huixin, the news that she was raped was spread in the circle.

Lin Yike said this. She had already explained everything to Han Chen clearly what should be said or not. Han Chen is a smart person and knows how to do it well for each other.

Lin Yike told him frankly, so naturally he would not worry that Han Chen would talk nonsense everywhere. She could trust his character.

Han Chen fell into a constant silence, and he had not yet come back to his senses from the shock.

Lin Yike was only in his early twenties and was just blooming like a flower. He could not associate her with his two-year-old mother.

Han Chen kept not talking, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Lin Yike didn't want to continue the topic just now, but she felt it was necessary to remind him of some things.

"The Han family and the Lin family were originally irrelevant. This time it was Nalan Qi who wanted to promote the marriage between our two families." Lin Yike spoke again and broke the silence.

When Han Chen heard this, he looked up at her with a slightly cold look. Although Han Chen was devoted to his acting career and rarely asked about his family affairs, it did not mean that he knew nothing.

At present, his father serves as the deputy mayor of Urban Construction, which is the target that the Nalan family is eager to win over. The Nalan family is so eager to promote the marriage between the Lin family and the Han family, and it is obvious that they plan to get benefits from the Han family through the Lin family.

Han Chen didn't like Nalan Qi very much, and now he is even more disgusted with him.

"Vice Mayor Han has just been transferred to his post, and many things are not clear. The Nalan family has not been able to get up early without any profit. At that time, the eldest lady of the Tang family was the fiancée of Master Nalan. The Nalan family has gained a lot of benefits from the Tang family, but after the incident, Deputy Mayor Tang was kicked away. The fate of the Tang family is worthy of alertness." Lin Yike kindly reminded.

Han Chen nodded, and was still very grateful for Lin Yike's kind reminder.

"My father is a person with clear public and private affairs. Even if we get married and become in-laws with the Nalan family, my father will not give Nalan Qi a green light without principles. What's more..."

What's more, they are destined to be passers-by.

Lin Yike sent Han Chen out. Before Han Chen left, he looked at her deeply. That glance contained too many emotions, heavy regrets, and endured pain, as if he had a look of ten thousand years.

Even Lin Yike was infected with a little sadness and couldn't help but think about it, it would be great if he knew him before he was eighteen years old. At least, Han Chen was much more reliable than Zuo Ye.

However, this sadness is only short-lived. She already has Fanfan and her unemployed vagrants. She just said today that it is good to raise them, and she really thinks it is good. They gave her heart a harbor and made her feel stable and happy.

The next day, Lin Yike dragged a wounded leg to shoot. He couldn't run fast and couldn't jump up, which was very frustrating.

Han Chen was as concerned about her as always, but she was obviously absent-minded during the filming process. The program team lost from beginning to end, and they could award the Best Participation Award.

After the filming, Lin Yike followed Lu Yao back to City A. This time, Han Chen did not take the same flight with them, and the marriage between the two ended in failure.
