The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 143

Chapter 143: Chapter 143

This feeling had been lingering in his heart until he caught sight of the woman, silently gazing from afar, and finally, the feeling settled.

Gu Yue, Gu Dao, they’re both from the Gu Family.

It was probably unexpected for Ye Tian that Gu Yue would notice him. She was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to react. Then she turned and quickly walked away, hand covering her face. Ye Tian wasn’t certain if she was wiping her eyes, but he was sure that this elegant white dress was avoiding him.

"Yue!"

Ignoring Chen Xing’s calls from behind, Ye Tian dashed towards the white figure. He really couldn’t understand why he would encounter Gu Yue here. It was not so much that he couldn’t comprehend, but rather he did not want to see her. Although there wasn’t much interaction between them, and this young lady had brought him big trouble, the undefined relationship was countless. How clear could the relationship between a man and a woman be? Otherwise, would it still be a relationship between a man and a woman? Ridiculous!

The former battlefield King of Soldiers chasing after a girl was nothing difficult. But just as Ye Tian was about to catch up, a black figure suddenly blocked his path. Without thinking, Ye Tian threw a punch, but it was parried, the force redirected to the right. In this brief encounter, Ye Tian watched helplessly as the white dress disappeared into a small house and the door shut behind her.

"Why are you still chasing after her?"

Ye Tian looked at the mastermind behind this courtyard, who was also the man called Gu Dao, and asked coldly, "Are you from the Gu Family?"

"Gu Yue’s elder brother, Gu Dao."

Ye Tian remembered Gu Yue had mentioned her family situation to him, including her elder brother, but not his name—just that he was the eldest son of his Second Aunt. So this guy was Gu Dao.

"Gu Yue mentioned you to me, saying you’ve always taken good care of her."

Gu Dao smiled, yet his tone remained cold, "That is our family matter. I would rather you keep your distance from her in the future. For her good and for your own."

Gu Dao’s words held an undercurrent, and Ye Tian, frowning, could not grasp his meaning, "Is she in some kind of trouble?"

"I said it’s our family matter; you, an outsider, cannot interfere. Originally, you left suddenly, abandoning her, do you know how long she was heartbroken for you? I can’t believe you’re foolish enough not to see even this simple sentiment from Yue. But what I can’t understand is, you left her behind initially, and now upon seeing her again, you’re chasing after her. What are you thinking? Do you think you are her only true love in this world, her one true Emperor? The heartbreaker was you, the disgusting one is you, Ye Tian. Now seeing her again, you want to play the good guy, is it?" Gu Dao’s gaze towards Ye Tian was clearly unfriendly, but he still maintained a certain distance.

"I never intended to play the good guy."

"Don’t worry, I don’t blame you. Grandfather said that you had your difficulties back then, necessitated by circumstances. Okay, I believe that. But I just want to ask you this—if it hadn’t been for those difficulties, would you still have chosen to keep avoiding Yue, to avoid seeing her if possible?"

Ye Tian calmly met Gu Dao’s gaze and said lightly, "Yes."

"That’s good then. Now, Gu Yue also doesn’t want to see you. Since both parties choose to avoid, there’s not much else to say. Don’t talk to me about any ’misunderstandings or discussions.’ This isn’t a TV drama; this is reality. She有 has her own path to walk and her own fate to fulfill. Our Gu Family, though not like some major conglomerates fighting for power, still cannot entirely avoid these common scenarios. Please be mindful of yourself. Goodbye."

Gu Dao nodded politely, and as he was about to leave, he turned around and added, "I forgot to congratulate you, with red and green jades in hand, today is your lucky day. Visit more often in the future, but, you change masters quite swiftly." Gu Dao glanced behind Ye Tian and then left.

Indeed, he was right. Initially, avoiding Gu Yue was his choice, he was in the car cursing her when Lei Bao injured Shen Jingwei, and even when he left Huai Zhou City, he didn’t say a word or even see her face. What right did he have now to chase her? Where did he, a mere security guard, find the nerve? Absurd!

"What, did someone cuckold you?"

Ye Tian’s master came over, standing behind him; she had only seen Gu Dao’s departing cold back and Ye Tian’s sullen face. With her understanding, she naturally assumed Ye Tian had been cuckolded—doesn’t the saying go, "lucky at cards, unlucky in love"?

Patting Ye Tian’s shoulder, Chen Xing pointed at Gu Dao’s departing figure, her expression full of certainty, "Want to mess with him?"

Ye Tian turned his head to look at her, then shook his head, "No."

"Ah? Oh. Then let’s go."

Chen Xing had only meant to tease him, not expecting Ye Tian to truly have no intention, and simply walked away. Fine, let’s go then. She didn’t wait on him anyway!

The black Mercedes sped along the Beijing-Tianjin Expressway, the scenery outside the window relentlessly being tossed past and mercilessly thrown behind the car, over and over, cruel and unforgiving. Ye Tian rested his arm on the car window, coldly watching everything outside continually disappearing. Little Bun drove, paying him no attention, Chen Xing had earphones in, holding a piece of freshly acquired high-quality stone which she was planning to gift her beloved, not sparing a moment to bother with Ye Tian.

Perhaps it was better this way, avoiding one another spared the trouble of explanations, and even with an explanation, what could be clarified? Nothing but causing the woman to be sad and the man’s energy to be drained—fruitless and boring. Let it be thus, out of sight, out of mind.

Having thought it through, Ye Tian’s heart also cleared up somewhat. He was never a man to dither; on the battlefield, when the lives of your squad brothers depended on you, any hesitation could cost them their lives. Hesitation was not permitted.

With this in mind, Ye Tian’s heart finally quieted. If one can’t let go, then they must let go.

Returning to the side of Fengyue Lake, Ye Tian took out the red Fei and showed it to Pig Hu and Liu Zhongshi immediately.

"Are you saying that the Essence Qi from the green jade you have absorbed makes you feel comfortable?"

"Yes. I was wondering if these Essence Qi-filled objects could replace my blood, providing nutrition for the Nine Emperor Bell?"

As Ye Tian said this, he kept his eyes on Pig Hu.
