Beauty and the Bodyguard

A Load On Miss' Mind

"Thanks to you, Shield bro, we were saved. What would you think if Yaoyao devoted her heart to you as a token of appreciation?" Yushu blinked innocently.

"Shu, my dad is around, what are you talking about?" Mengyao panicked as if someone just stepped on her tail and she glared at Yushu.

Yushu stuck her tongue out- she had been joking all this time, the words had just slipped out of her mouth without her remembering Pengzhan who was sitting beside her. Fortunately, she didn't have enough time to blurt out the buy one free one package, it was such an embarrassment.

"Hahaha," Pengzhan laughed lightly, his expression still the same, "Now that we have Shu with us, the atmosphere is getting merrier. Yaoyao, it's your turn now."

Lin Yi rescued Mengyao, couldn't she at least say a thank you to Lin Yi? Being grateful to the rescuer was an unquestionable moral truth but for Miss to make herself give Lin Yi a toast, she was simply unable to do so. After all, she was the one who wanted to brutally kick out Lin Yi, wasn't she?

At the very least, she had already allowed him to stay with her under the same roof, but giving him a toast was too much for her- didn't that mean she was willing to compromise? After offering the toast, there was no way she could give him anymore attitude in the future, could she?

However, no matter how unwilling she was- she had to do it because her father was now staring at her. She couldn't help but forcefully raise her cup, and drank the toast directly like she wasn't honouring Lin Yi and was just drinking by herself, "Thank you!" she said after drinking.

Lin Yi didn't bother- Miss was passionate and cold at times, that was her personality. He then raised his cup and smiled, "That's my job."

Seeing Lin Yi's blank face displeased Mengyao- at the end of the day, she was still a Miss. She was his employer, he should at least show some happiness when she gave him the toast, shouldn't he? Ultimately, Mengyao had never given a toast to a man before- Lin Yi was the first.

However, she couldn't voice her unpleasantries as she internally sulked and cursed Lin Yi - jerk Lin Yi, broken Lin Yi, why couldn't you just treat me a little better? Was I inferior to Tangyin? Even if I lose to her a little, what about Shu? If both of us were together as a combo, how could he not be attracted to us?

Despite all that, Lin Yi still went out to flirt with other girls- unacceptable! Mengyao was pissed off at Lin Yi for ignoring them completely!

This was something Mengyao couldn't tolerate as a Miss, who was Tangyin anyway? She didn't even have the right to be their opponent in the slightest. How could both of them lose to Tangyin? Either, Lin Yi was blind or both of them, Mengyao and Yushu weren't alluring enough.

"Yaoyao, how's Yi in school? Was he able to catch up in the class? If he isn't able to follow, you and Shu should help him out, after all, he just transferred to this school, tutoring might be needed," Pengzhan said randomly.

"Huh? What?" Mengyao was still bad-mouthing Lin Yi internally- she didn't realise her dad was talking to her until her father started staring at her again.

"Haha, Yaoyao, what are you thinking? You've been in your own world for quite some time," Pengzhan asked with a laugh.

"Nothing….. I'm not thinking about anything," Mengyao flushed.

"Woohoo, Sir, I've got a report. I know what Yaoyao sis is thinking!" Yushu raised her hand like they were in the classroom, and she was the student.

"Owh? Shu, tell me about it," Pengzhan was in a good mood so he asked Yushu.

"Yaoyao was thinking about love!" Yushu said solemnly.

"Thinking about love?" Pengzhan was taken back- he didn't know he should be laughing or crying, "Yaoyao, why are you thinking about love?"

"SHU! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" Mengyao didn't want to admit it but Yushu had hit a jackpot- this made her frustrated! Besides, she wasn't thinking about love- she only wanted Lin Yi to care about her, was that considered as love?"

"Woohoo, Yaoyao is going on a rampage…." Yushu was startled and started running away.

"Hahaha….." Pengzhan was used to the girls fighting- they had been fighting since young after all. Yushu always dared to speak about anything she desired, and while Pengzhan had witnessed her bravery, he didn't mind at all.

Lin Yi could only shake his head when this happened. Yushu was still Yushu in every occasion, her attitude never changed.

Naturally, Mengyao couldn't afford to let herself run loose- she was also used to Yushu's idiocy already so she stayed where she was and it wasn't like she could just leave the dining table when her dad was around, could she?

"Dad, don't listen to Shu, she was the one thinking about love!" Mengyao was afraid of creating misunderstandings so she quickly explained to her father.

Pengzhan was once again taken back, if Mengyao had just left the topic aside without explaining, he wouldn't be suspicious but now that she had explained herself- Pengzhan could no longer just ignore that, could he? Normally, Mengyao would just ignore Yushu's joke, and she wouldn't even bother explaining.

But, it was different today, she even explained with her face flushed- Pengzhan found something was up but he wasn't going to ask her directly in the dining table, he decided to ask her privately after the feast.

"Well, Lin Yi, I heard that Zhong Pinliang's kidney was taken, what actually happened? Is this event somehow connected to you?" Pengzhan changed the topic.

Although, Zhong Fabai didn't want to announce his son's misfortune, people with some backgrounds in SongShan City were well informed.

All of them were discussing about the misfortune. Who did this to Zhong Pinliang? How heartless could this guy be?

"Nope, but I think that it has something to do with An Jianwen," Lin Yi told Jianwen the details about the kidnapping and the next day his kidney was taken so Lin Yi assumed that it was Jianwen's doing.

But what concerned Lin Yi was why An Jianwen chose to cut Zhong Pinliang's kidney? He remembered that Lingshan mentioned about the organ-trafficking crime organization and he even had firsthand experience in sabotaging the next of the crime syndicate. Could it be that An Jianwen was part of that criminal organization?

"An Jianwen?" Pengzhan flinched slightly and continued, "Probably."

"Uncle Chu, who is this An Jianwen actually? His house seems to have some connection with you guys," Lin Yi asked.

"An Jianwen's house was very powerful in SongShan before, their business was massive and through business, our Houses got to know each other, so our relationship wasn't that bad either. An Jianwen was the youngest son in House An and he was on pretty good terms with Yaoyao at that time…." Pengzhan continued, "They could be considered as childhood friends…."

"Who's his childhood friend?" Mengyao suddenly interrupted him as if she didn't want people to misunderstand their relationship.

But after finishing her comment, she felt weird- why was she explaining? So what if they were childhood friends?
