Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1168 – Song Lingshan’s Refusal

Yufeng lay on the ground hiding his face- he knew that he couldn’t hide this anymore, and so he stood up and raised his head, “Song Lingshan, I’m Yu Feng, House Yu’s Yu Feng…”

With that, he extended his hand for a handshake.

“House Yu? Yu Feng? Why are you here?” Lingshan blinked, not expecting to meet a Yu here. Nor did she understand why Yu had become her fiance.

Yufeng felt awkward that Lingshan wasn’t shaking his hand, but he kept talking, “Lingshan, I believe Grandpa Song’s already told you about us, right? I was about to ask you out tomorrow, but I was scouting for a good place…”

“Wait about us? What us? What did my grandpa say to me?” Lingshan interrupted, her brows knotted.

“Our marriage- my dad’s talked with Grandpa Song already, settling on an engagement…” Yufeng was quite surprised. He didn’t think that she wouldn’t know! Did House Song not tell her?

“How come I don’t know about this?” Lingshan looked at Yufeng, feeling that he was unreliable. This wasn’t fake, was it? How would she not know that she was engaged to a Yu?

“Ugh…” Lingshan’s words made Yufeng pause, but he didn’t panic, “You could call your Grandpa Song and validate my words!”

At this point, Yufeng didn’t mind whether or not this was humiliating anymore. He had to let her know this was true first.

“Liu Wangli, look after these three- I’ll go make a call!” LIngshan’s face was uncertain. While she didn’t know whether or not these were people from House Yu, it seemed rather true from the way he spoke, but since when was she engaged??

“Yes, Captain Song!” Wangli said, thinking that another had showed up. Were they allies with Lingshan’s House? Then what about Lin Yi?

Lingshan walked back to the police car with a solemn face as she called her grandpa.

“Shanshan, why’re you calling grandpa all of a sudden?” Song Xiangwen said with a happy tone. Lingshan had become his pride, and so his mood was bright every time she called.

“Grandpa, there’s a guy claiming to be House Yu’s Yu Feng, claiming to be my fiance. What’s with this?”Lingshan got straight to the point.

“Oh? Haha, House Yu’s Yu Feng? That young man is quite a candidate! Well, what do you think, Shanshan? I went with your standards and found someone stronger than you in your generation. Yu Feng!” Xiangwen smiled. “He’s a Mystic mid phase, after all!”

“Mystic mid phase?” Lingshan froze. Yu Feng was quite strong!! But, even though she acknowledged her strength, she wasn’t touched at all- even if she didn’t already have someone she liked, she wouldn’t fall for this Yu Feng!

At least, from her first impression, she really disliked him. He wanted to hide so that she wouldn’t know that he got beat up like that, what sort of man was this? Couldn’t he own up to his actions? He was far beneath Lin Yi!

Lin Yi never tried to hide it when he got hurt. This was a true man! That Yu Feng, on the other hand, mumbling about this and that…

“Well, what do you think?” Xiangwen said happily. This was a great step forward for their house, after all- with the support of House Yu, they’d be a noble house for a very, very long time!

“Grandpa, how could you make decisions for me like this! I don’t like this Yu Feng. I won’t marry him!” Lingshan didn’t hide anything. She expressed her stance right away. She couldn’t delay this. She needed to stop this before it got worse!

“Shanshan, why? Didn’t you say that your man has to be stronger than you? Yu Feng clears that condition! He’s far stronger than you, isn’t that what you wanted? He’s from House Yu, too, this is a perfect match! Why do you not want it?” Xiangwen asked, confused.

“Grandpa, you can’t force stuff like relationships. I don’t have any feelings when it comes to him. I don’t like him!” Lingshan said determinedly.

“Shanshan, this marriage I got for you. All the noble houses are envious of it!” Xiangwen said, his face turning serious. “Feelings can be developed, Shanshan, but it’s extremely difficult to find someone as outstanding as Yu Feng!”

“Grandpa… I… I already have someone I like…” Lingshan gritted his teeth.

“Someone, you like?” Xiangwen blinked before his face darkened. “Who? It’s not that House Chen kid, is it?”

“No, it’s not, grandpa! Stop asking!” Lingshan naturally couldn’t just say it was Lin Yi, firstly because his identity was a sensitive subject, and secondly because ha already had a girlfriend. She couldn’t tell her grandpa that she wanted to be a mistress, could she?

“No matter what, this is what the head of House Yu and I have settled on. Yu Shuixing settled on it, this can’t be changed unless House Chen’s kid is able to force Yu Feng out! But evidently, this is impossible!” Xiangwen said faintly. “Shanshan, I hope you’ll be reasonable and don’t forget what you’ve agreed on! Alright, I’ll leave it at that. You solidify this marriage!”

“Grandpa!” Lingshan looked at her phone after getting hung up on- what happened? Why did the grandpa who always loved her become like this? Was the family name that important? House Yu was simply that good?

She sighed, but she didn’t worry too much. So what if it was House Yu, didn’t Lin Yi cripple one and kill the other? Lingshan believed that Lin Yi would never let her be married off like that if he truly cared about her, but she wasn’t certain about that!

Although, it did seem that her relationship with Lin Yi was getting along rather nicely- at least, they had turned into friends compared to the enemies they were before, and possibly beyond even that.
