Chapter 17 - 17 17

17: Chapter 17, 17: Chapter 17, Lin Yuanhao fell to the ground with a loud thump, yelping in pain.

Immediately, a woman started shouting angrily at Ye Qing.

“How can you behave like this!

Do you realize who you just hit!”

The woman had hair dyed wine red and was dressed lavishly in gold and silver.

Although beautiful and elegant, her abrasive and sharp-tongued demeanor made her instantly unlikeable to him.

Fang Yi merely glanced at her indifferently.

Without a word, he watched Lin Yuanhao writhing in pain on the ground, waiting for him to get up, just to… throw him down again.

However, the woman with wine-red hair was not about to let it go.

Aside from shouting, she also prepared to take action.

She took off one of her high heels and strode toward Fang Yi, intending to hit him with it.

Fang Yi wouldn’t let her succeed.

He bent down, picked up a small stone from the ground, then flicked it with his finger.

The woman shrieked as the high heel flew out of her hand.

Another woman who had come with Lin Yuanhao witnessed the whole scene.

Unlike the woman with the wine-red hair, she stood there very calmly.

Her long, straight black hair flowed like a waterfall, and she wore a simple dress.

Her natural face could not hide her radiant beauty; with finely sculpted features and a slender waist encased in a pure white dress, she embodied the simple beauty akin to a white jasmine flower.

She stood there with the little girl Yiyi leaning against her, holding her hand, having observed everything that had just happened with a hint of astonishment.

“What amazing finger skill!” she murmured so softly only she could hear.

The woman with wine-red hair was in pain, and Lin Yuanhao had managed to get up from the ground.

His hair stuck with dust, he looked disheveled and resentful as he stared at Ye Qing.

“Who are you!” Lin Yuanhao gritted his teeth.

“He’s my bodyguard,” Shen Binan said before Fang Yi could respond.

At this voice, Lin Yuanhao was suddenly taken aback.

When he saw Shen Binan, he exclaimed, “Shen Binan?!”

Shen Binan nodded slowly, “Yes, it’s me.”

Lin Yuanhao narrowed his eyes slightly.

As the CEO of Longteng Group, he had naturally heard about and even met Shen Binan a few times.

He hadn’t recognized her earlier, so he couldn’t identify her.

For Lin Yuanhao, Shen Binan was generally someone he did not want to mess with.

Though he was a man of status, Binnan’s increasing fame and capabilities in Moon City were enough to keep him at bay.

Yet… he couldn’t swallow his pride this time.

Lin Yuanhao spoke coldly, “Alright, since he’s your bodyguard, Binnan, and he hit me, I, Lin Yuanhao, need an explanation.”

“What kind of explanation would you like?” Shen Binan responded indifferently.

Lin Yuanhao sneered, “Let me hit him back.”

Shen Binan shook her head.

With her arms crossed in front of her and an indifferent demeanor, she said, “I’m sorry, but he’s my bodyguard.

Hitting him is like hitting me, Shen Binan; I cannot allow it.”

Lin Yuanhao’s voice grew colder, “Are you implying that you don’t regard me, Lin Yuanhao, with any respect?” His words were tinged with both a threatening and warning tone.

However, Shen Binan’s response was…

“Since you already know, why ask me?” Shen Binan spoke briskly and bluntly, “If I don’t regard you, Lin Yuanhao, what of it?”

“You!” Lin Yuanhao was furious, “This isn’t over!”

A strange laugh echoed; it was Fang Yi laughing.

After he laughed, he spoke in a challenging tone, “You want to hit back?”

Lin Yuanhao responded coldly, “I, Lin Yuanhao, have never been humiliated like this before.

You are just a bodyguard of Shen Binan’s.

It would be simple and easy for me to destroy you.”

Fang Yi chuckled and said, “You can try.”

Lin Yuanhao was immediately provoked and balled his fists, preparing to strike Fang Yi, when a voice rang out, “Lin Yuanhao, stop!”

Lin Yuanhao turned his head and said, “Mengyan, are you protecting this outsider?”

“She’s not protecting me, the outsider, she’s doing this for your own good,” Fang Yi responded indifferently.

“I don’t care how impressive your status is, but if it comes to fighting, you really can’t beat me.

What just happened was only a warning.

If you really make a move, I’ll make sure you can’t get up off the ground.”

Lin Yuanhao’s eyes immediately darkened, and his clenched fists tightened even more; a surge of anger flared within him.

By then, the woman called Mengyan had already walked over and said coldly, “Lin Yuanhao, think it through yourself.

Don’t regret it later!”

Lin Yuanhao’s facial expression flickered uncertainly; he was thinking, then slowly calmed down.

Looking at Fang Yi, who appeared relaxed yet wore a mild smile, Lin Yuanhai had never seen such an unpredictable person before.

Meanwhile, Shen Binan had already ignored him, her gaze shifting to the woman with long, black, straight hair, “Lin Mengyan, what is your relationship with this little girl?”

“Shes my sister,” Lin Mengyan replied.

A look of realization crossed Shen Binan’s face as she said, “She fell into the water by herself; it had nothing to do with the female nanny.”

Lin Mengyan then said, “In your eyes, Shen Binnan, am I a very frightening woman?”

Tension filled the air between the two, while Fang Yi watched them, clearly sensing that they were well-acquainted but did not get along.

Both women were of exceptional beauty, each carrying an air of noble aloofness.

At this moment, Fang Yi noticed Lin Mengyan’s gaze resting on him.

Lin Mengyan smiled sweetly and asked, “What’s your name?”

“Fang Yi.”

“Fang Yi?

Alright, how much did Shen Binan pay you?

I’ll double it.

Come work for me as a bodyguard,” Lin Mengyan offered.

Shen Binan’s expression subtly shifted while Fang Yi inwardly cursed, this woman really doesn’t get along with Shen Binan by openly trying to poach me.

Fang Yi shook his head and said, “I appreciate your kindness, Ms.

Lin, but I believe in being devoted when trusted with responsibility, so…”

Lin Mengyan did not show any embarrassment, replying, “That’s fine, I won’t insist.

But I know that as long as the hoe is swung well, no corner is unbeatable.” She stared at Shen Binan, “You better be careful, Shen Binan.”

Shen Binan merely smiled faintly, saying nothing.

Upon leaving the park and sitting in the car, Fang Yi rolled down the window, lit a cigarette, and heard Shen Binan say coldly from the back seat, “Why aren’t you tempted?”

Fang Yi knew what she was referring to and smiled, “Didn’t I say?

I believe in being devoted when trusted with responsibility.”

But Shen Binan replied, “That’s fine for fooling that foolish woman, Lin Mengyan, but it won’t fool me.”

Fang Yi laughed, looking through the rearview mirror, catching Shen Binan entirely off guard as she raised an eyebrow, “Is that not so?”

Fang Yi replied, “I value integrity the most, but…

you’d better not make me angry.

If you do, I might just go work for that ‘foolish woman’ you mentioned.”

“We’ll see what you do then?”

Shen Binan said, “The double salary she offered you isn’t really that much more.”

Fang Yi responded, “Doesn’t matter.

After all, she’s got bigger breasts than you, pleasing my eyes everyday isn’t so bad.”

“…”

The car started and left the park.

While driving, Fang Yi asked Shen Binan where to next, home or back to the company.

But Shen Binan shook her head, “Go to Tianqing Hotel.”
