Beauty and the Bodyguard

But after leaving Lin Yi, she seemed to have a lot of understanding. Her alchemy skills weren't something even those Masters could master.

After recovering his strength with Jingjing, Lin Yi took the small reversion pill and nine nerve opening pills back to his villa. He saw Mengyao sitting on the sofa as soon as he entered the door. She didn't turn on the TV or the lights in the living room, and Lin Yi jumped in surprise.

"Yaoyao? What are you doing?" Lin Yi blinked.

"Ah ... Lin Yi, you're back." Mengyao snapped out of her daze. She didn't even notice Lin Yi entering the room, only to realize that the living room was already so dark. The sky darkened faster and earlier in December, and the living room was still bright when Mengyao sent Yushu off. "I'll go turn on the lights ..."

"I'll drive. " Lin Yi was at the door, and was closer to the light switch in the living room. He turned on the light and asked,"Shu? Did she drive the car in the courtyard away? And, Yaoyao, what were you doing just now?"

"Ah ... Shu went to buy food ..." Chu Mengyao hesitated, but she made up her mind and said,""Lin Yi, do you have time now? Since Shu's not here, I have something to tell you ..."

"Now? There is. " Lin Yi nodded, confused. He walked over and sat down on the sofa beside Mengyao. "What's wrong? You and Shu are acting weird today?"

Lin Yi thought that Mengyao was going to talk to him about Xinyan, but there was no need to hide Xinyan from Shu.

"You think there's something wrong with Shu too?" Chu Mengyao heard Lin Yi's words and was slightly happy,"If that's the case, I don't have to explain. I think Shu's acting weird too, like she's hiding something from us?"

"Ah? Shu? Didn't you ask her?" Lin Yi realized that Mengyao was talking about Shu's problem. He pondered for a while."It was quite normal before, but after going out for a stroll, it felt a little strange ..."

"Yeah, I think so too." "I asked her a few times today, but she wasn't paying attention. I asked her what's wrong, but she didn't answer. I'm a little worried, but I don't know what to do ..." Mengyao said.

"Then ... What do you want to do?" Lin Yi thought that Yushu was acting weird today as well, especially when she was pouring the tea. He had no idea what she was up to.

"I don't know ..." Chu Mengyao shook her head,""Just now, she wanted to go out to buy food. I wanted to go with her, but she didn't agree. I keep feeling that she has something on her mind and is afraid that I will ask ... Why don't you help me ask?"

"Me?" Lin Yi pointed at himself, stunned.

"Yeah, Shu's very special to you. She'll listen to everything you say." "And she likes you," Mengyao said.

Lin Yi went silent after hearing Mengyao's words. He didn't object to what Mengyao said-Shu did listen to him, and she'd mess with anyone but him, even Mengyao sometimes.

However, that didn't mean that Shu could tell him about her troubles. Lin Yi felt that there was something deeper hidden under that crazy appearance of hers. She pretended to be a happy little B * stard, but there were some things that she didn't do.

"I'll try. " "I'll find a chance to ask her these two days,"Lin Yi said.

"En, many thanks." "I'm worried about her ..."Mengyao said.

"What are you thanking me for? I'm actually quite worried about her too. She's not your only friend." "You don't see me as a part of this family?" Lin Yi waved his hand.

"Then you should thank me too." Mengyao's mood improved after Lin Yi agreed.

"I was just about to thank you. Oh right, have you asked about Xinyan?" Lin Yi asked.

"I did ..." Chu Mengyao was worried about Shu and almost forgot about it if Lin Yi didn't mention it,""I called Xinyan just now, she said ... She only sees you as a good friend, and she's always had a fiancé ..."

"Fiancé? Zhaolong?" Lin Yi had always known about this, but he'd never thought much of it. House Kang was a thing of the past, and they couldn't do anything about it. Miracle doctor Kang's Medical Group was on the verge of destruction, too. This small house was on the decline, so why did Xinyan still take the engagement seriously?

"Yes, that's what she said. She said it was her parents 'decision and she didn't want to put her parents in a difficult position. She agreed to it back then ..." Chu Mengyao said.

"I see ..." Lin Yi frowned. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

In theory, Xinyan and Zhaolong's relationship shouldn't be that good. If they were already a couple, Xinyan wouldn't have done so many things with him. Even if they didn't end up together, they wouldn't do it again.

But with their current relationship, it was only a matter of time before they became a couple. Xinyan didn't give a definite answer, but her actions more or less showed that something was wrong.

But Xinyan rejected it, and the reason she gave was so ridiculous, yet so reasonable! A marriage contract was a good reason, but Lin Yi thought it was a little weird.

"That's all she said, she even said I shouldn't force her ..." Mengyao smiled bitterly," "I'm sorry, I couldn't complete the task you gave me. "

"Never mind, it's nothing. Let's focus on Shu's problem first." Lin Yi said with a wave of his hand. He was guessing that Xinyan had her own difficulties. Or was there something he was hiding? However, Mengyao probably wouldn't be able to get the answers out of him. He'd have to find out on his own.

With that, Lin Yi stood up and walked to the spot where Shu knocked over the cup. He bent down and sniffed the floor, frowning as he thought about it. But after a while, Lin Yi stood up and spoke before Mengyao could ask.

"Don't say anymore ... Shu might be back. " Lin Yi heard the familiar sound of the car outside, and knew that Shu was back.

"Okay, don't mention this topic later." Mengyao stood up as well, following Lin Yi out of the villa. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendation and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
