Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chu Peng Zhan’s Phone

“It’s okay, safety first!” Jianwen smiled lightly. Taizao was good at acting!

Mengyao was a little depressed. She eyed Yushu, hinting that it was all her fault. Why couldn’t she just ask Lin Yi to make her some food if she was hungry? Why would she ask Taizao to get her food? Could things be any more annoying with Jianwen staying here?

Yushu pouted, realizing that it was her fault. But, she had an idea! She glanced at the clock, Jianwen only had seven minutes to hit on Yaoyao now….

Jianwen started a conversation with Mengyao, gentlemanly, and while Mengyao replied once in a while, she couldn’t bother much.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi went back to his own room. He was too lazy to care about Jianwen, and since they were in the villa, there was nothing much he could do without looking at Jianwen.

“Oh, time for cartoons! Today is Saturday so we’ve got ‘The pleasant sheep and big wolf’, movie version!” Yushu jumped in excitement. She turned on the TV and the familiar opening song of ‘The pleasant sheep and big wolf’ played…..

Jianwen was used to Yushu’s craziness. She was pretty but no one would be able to handle her anyway. Luckily, he was in love with Mengyao, not Yushu, or else he would be doomed for the rest of his life.

He ignored Yushu as he continued the chat with Mengyao.

“Hey, stop talking. I can’t listen properly if you do that!” Yushu waved her hand at Jianwen impatiently. “Where are your manners? Can’t you see me watching TV here?!”

Jianwen was furious. What’s with Yushu? But he couldn’t offend her so he kept quiet. First, Yushu was from House Chen, a noble house. No one would have the balls to cross her? Even though he had Firewolf gang backing him, he couldn’t represent himself as part of the Firewolf gang. There was no way he would be daring enough to make house Chen his enemy!

Second, even if Firewolf gang was going to fully support them, Yushu was Mengyao’s friend from birth. If Mengyao started to hate him, dating her would be impossible!

“Yaoyao, let’s talk over there?” Jianwen swallowed down his discomfort, a smile still on his face and pointed at the dining table.

“I want to watch too. I haven’t watched this yet.” Mengyao pointed at the TV and said, “Why don’t you watch with us?”

“Eh?” Jianwen almost jumped up in surprise. Him? watching cartoons? He would be laughed at for his whole life if people heard about it. However, he wasn’t fixated on that. After all, this was the first time Mengyao invited him to do something together. It was like a date to him. Watching TV and watching a movie were all the same. He convinced himself that Mengyao invited him to date and that they were watching a movie together now!

“Alright, let’s watch together!”

Naturally, they wouldn’t be able to speak while watching cartoons, and while Jianwen hadn’t watched this kind of series before, he just couldn’t get himself into it. He was just forcing himself to sit there. Why wasn’t Taizao coming back? He should have come back earlier so he could leave this suffering sooner!

Failure, it was a total failure. If he knew that Yushu was going to watch cartoons, he wouldn’t have stayed here. He may as well leave this living hell! He couldn’t stand it any longer. He stood up, walked out of the villa, and made a phone call, “Where are you? Why aren’t you coming back? There weren’t that many things I asked you to buy? Do you need a whole year?”

“Ah? An bro, I thought you wanted me to stay outside longer?” Taizao parked his car at the roadside, carefreely taking his cigarette and enjoying the night scenery. Jianwen gave him a fright with the call.

“It’s done, get here as soon as possible! Make it quick.” Jianwen said restlessly.

“See Yaoyao sis? I’m a pro, aren’t I?” Yushu said cockily.

“Haha, thank god you are smart! Or else, I’d be annoyed to death talking to him!” Mengyao knew that her bosom buddy wasn’t stupid, in fact, she was pretty brilliant. Her way of conducting this genius was “special”.

Taizao came back after a while, fruits and dinner in his hand. Yushu invited Jianwen to eat while watching the TV together but he quickly turned her down. He couldn’t bear it anymore, watching a cartoon while he couldn’t talk to Mengyao took a toll on him, there was no way he could continue sitting there, could he?

After Jianwen and Taizao left them, Mengyao opened up the boxes and said, “Go invite Lin Yi. Get him to join us.”

Taizao bought five portions, evidently planning to have dinner with them but they were unable to do so. She glanced at the food and found out that they were all luxury food. It wasn’t bought from some low-end restaurants.

“Oh…..” Yushu looked at the delicacies and started drooling. She refused to stand up. She had to an urge to wolf down all the food.

Mengyao saw no reaction from Yushu and hmphed helplessly. She walked to Lin Yi’s room and hit on the door, “Lin Yi, come out and have your dinner!”

Mengyao didn’t know why she would want to invite Lin Yi but she felt like doing so because he had been preparing food for Shu and her all this time. Se didn’t feel right if they started eating without calling him. She wasn’t an ungrateful person.

“They left?” Lin Yi was lying on his bed, texting Tangyin. He told her that he had contacted Er Goudan and he should be arriving with the medicine sooner or later.

“Yeah, Taizao bought us some food. Do you want to grab some?” Mengyao pointed at the food and asked.

“Sure, I can save some time since I don’t have to prepare dinner.” Lin Yi followed Mengyao. Normally, Uncle Fu wouldn’t deliver food for them during Saturday so Lin Yi had to figure things out himself.

When Lin Yi seated himself on the sofa, Yushu had almost finished one box, and she wasn’t intending to slow down, either.

“Be careful, you might puke if you eat too much again.” Lin Yi reminded.

“Stop eating!” Mengyao was afraid that Yushu might get herself into trouble, so she put the two boxes away from her.

“Oh, okay….” Yushu followed unwillingly. She wasn’t brave enough to oppose and didn’t want to go through that suffering again.

After the meal, Lin Yi cleaned up the boxes and put the remaining two boxes into the refrigerator, planning to heat the food up for breakfast tomorrow.

Later, much to his surprise, he received a phone call from Chu Pengzhan.

“Uncle Chu?” Lin Yi answered the call. “Is there anything you need?”

“Yeah, there are two things I want to talk to you about,” Pengzhan said. “Is Yaoyao beside you? Are you free to talk?”

Lin Yi startled. Was this supposed to be kept as a secret away from Mengyao?
