The Beautiful CEO's Close Bodyguard-Chapter 1371 - 1384

Actually, Yuwen Kangli meeting Han Wanwan here was purely accidental. He didn’t expect that Han Wanwan, to avoid marrying him, would go to such lengths.

However, since it happened, it gave him a solid reason.

Han Wanwan was indecisive, sitting there in silence, contemplating what Yuwen Kangli had said.

Beside her, Zhang Wan noticed Han Wanwan’s hesitation and couldn’t help but step forward and say, "What are you hesitating about? This situation is pretty good for you. You don’t have to get pregnant, have an out-of-wedlock child, or deal with all those scandals! The key is that you’re still in the midst of a scandalous storm, aren’t you? Let Yuwen Kangli help you fend it off for a while."

Han Wanwan suddenly felt that what he said made some sense. She nodded slightly, "Alright, I understand. So what should I do?"

Looking at Yuwen Kangli, Han Wanwan asked, "So today, let’s say we reach an agreement. What do you think we should do?"

Yuwen Kangli cleared his throat, "I think it’s better for you to first give me Mr. Chu’s bottle."

Han Wanwan blushed and then handed the bottle to Yuwen Kangli.

Yuwen Kangli continued: "Actually, it’s quite simple. Aren’t you in the limelight right now? We can go out on a date and pretend to be caught by someone. Then you can come forward to clarify the situation, and that’s it."

"Is this the solution you came up with?"

Han Wanwan asked, puzzled.

Yuwen Kangli nodded, "Yes, and it’s quite straightforward. We only need to do it this once; we don’t have to repeat it every day. Doing it regularly would be annoying, wouldn’t it?" Yuwen Kangli said wistfully.

Han Wanwan rolled her eyes at him and snorted, "Isn’t that just stating the obvious?"

In the end, Han Wanwan agreed to Yuwen Kangli’s request for cooperation, saving a lot of hassle!

After Han Wanwan left, Yuwen Kangli looked at the small bottle from Chu Ge and sighed slightly. He actually received news about Chu Ge, even though he didn’t know what Chu Ge had gone through. His disappearance had become a mystery, yet he couldn’t let Han Wanwan end up a widow.

Or perhaps I should say differently, Yuwen Kangli scratched his head, smiling bitterly, "If you were pregnant with Mr. Chu’s child and he couldn’t marry you, you’d indeed become a single mother."

...

Things were going smoothly here, but it wasn’t the same over at the Man Yue Clan.

Jian Chunqiu arranged for Lin Dong and Long Ang to take turns secretly protecting the Great Elder. The night sky within the Man Yue Clan was different from their Capital City.

Here, countless stars filled the sky, creating a beautiful sight. Lin Dong lay on the rooftop, hands behind his head, and couldn’t help but exclaim, "If not for these troublesome matters, I’d really want to spend my whole life here!"

Long Ang glanced at him, chuckled, and said, "You’re just dreaming. People like us don’t really belong here."

Lin Dong sighed, "I feel like we’re just asking for trouble, giving up a good life for one filled with conflict. Not to mention, it’s risky for our lives!"

Long Ang glanced at Lin Dong, smiling slightly, "But now that you’ve experienced this, you wouldn’t want to go back to a normal life."

Lin Dong shook his head, "Not anymore. Even though I say that, I still prefer this thrilling and challenging life. Feeling my martial arts improve every day is a happiness of its own."

Long Ang liked Lin Dong’s optimistic nature; being easily pleased by little things meant fewer worries wherever he went.

"By the way, wasn’t Master supposed to separate us? Why are you out here now?"

Lin Dong asked, curious.

Long Ang shook his head with a smile, "You got captivated by the scenery here? It’s already time. You’re up for the first half of the night, and I’m up for the latter half." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Lin Dong was surprised, "But it’s still early! It’s not even midnight yet."

"Precisely because it’s not midnight that I’m telling you to rest earlier. I’m used to these tasks, but you’re not. We need to conserve energy because we don’t know what tomorrow will bring. Rest during the first half, so you’ll sleep more soundly."

Long Ang genuinely wanted Lin Dong to rest well, even though Lin Dong pouted, "Long Ang, I don’t like hearing that. I’m an Ancient Martial Daoist now too. Don’t treat me like an ordinary person."

Lin Dong wasn’t genuinely mad; he just felt that Long Ang often treated him like a child.

Long Ang sighed, "That’s not what I mean. If we’re taking shifts, why separate it so clearly? Since I’m up for the second half, I won’t rest well anyway. So I’m just trying to let you rest properly, so if something happens tomorrow, at least not both of us will be in poor condition."

Lin Dong sighed, "Sigh, I can’t sleep now."

Long Ang looked at him, puzzled, "What’s wrong?"

Lin Dong shook his head, "I’m just wondering when Mr. Chu will return. Can he even come back? Where is he now? Why is it that only Mr. Chu has gone missing while the rest of us are safe?"

Long Ang had the same doubts and sighed, "I don’t know either. We can only wait for the Great Elder to recover. Elder Jian mentioned that only the Great Elder would understand?"

Lin Dong nodded, "That’s all we can do now."

The two of them chatted on the rooftop for a long time, but Lin Dong still didn’t feel sleepy. Eventually, with no other choice, Long Ang stopped trying to make Lin Dong go to bed and let him be.

The night grew deeper, with a slight chill in the air, but it didn’t bother Lin Dong and Long Ang. Having eaten the Water Phoenix Fruit and the pills Old Wang brought, their martial arts weren’t suppressed by the scents in the Man Yue Clan’s territory.

"Oh right, due to time distortion, we’ve gained memories from other timeframes. Long Ang, do you have any special memories?"

Lin Dong asked, curious, "Since we have nothing else to do now, why not tell us what extra memories you’ve got?"

Long Ang knew Lin Dong was quite nosy, but since there was nothing else to do, Long Ang pondered over the additional memories he had, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Seeing Long Ang’s face blush in the dim light, Lin Dong couldn’t help but sit up in curiosity, "Long Ang, why are you blushing? Is it embarrassing?"

Long Ang cleared his throat awkwardly, "It’s not particularly embarrassing...it’s just that I feel like my life in another timeline was very happy and leisurely."

Lin Dong was a bit puzzled, "Then why are you blushing? What’s there to be embarrassed about?"

Long Ang cleared his throat, "The key is... there were also those kinds of things involved."
