The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 212

Chapter 212: Chapter 212

"Ye Tian."

"Um? What’s up, Sister Lin?"

Lin Jingran’s naturally beautiful figure coupled with her peerless, delicate face became even more alluring under the light. In this empty elevator, with just a man and a woman, it was hard to avoid the possibility of some unexpected occurrence.

Watching Lin Jingran slowly draw nearer, Ye Tian couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh in his heart. The women of the Chen family really are no easy opponents; the eldest kicked me to the curb, and now the second comes to pull me back in. Reusing discarded goods, huh?

Had it been before, Ye Tian might have surrendered to Lin Jingran. But not now, he had learned how to use others to his advantage and to counteract their manipulations. Faced with Lin Jingran’s seductive trap in the elevator, he felt a natural resistance in his heart; any woman who doesn’t want to be pushed down on a bed is no good woman at all!

"Sister Lin, I’ve noticed that Chen Xing seems quite reluctant to go home. May I ask why that is?"

Lin Jingran, who had been drawing slowly closer, suddenly stopped in her tracks, the sound of her black high heels clicking on the ground ceasing as her body halted, leaving her standing right there.

"Sister Lin, haven’t you noticed this?"

"...Evading the question. You’re really bad. Alright, I won’t tease you anymore."

"Hehe."

Ye Tian breathed out in relief, watching as Lin Jingran stood up straight, waiting honestly for the elevator’s arrival. A surge of annoyance suddenly rose in his heart – this irritation stemmed from the normal mindset of a man, from the embarrassment of being toyed with by a female animal he couldn’t control. But Ye Tian still couldn’t figure out why Lin Jingran was toying with him, someone already eliminated from the game.

Little did he know, Lin Jingran had her own principles.

Lin Jingran was once the top courtesan of Tianhe, desired by countless men but seen by few; many men went crazy for her, yet they were helpless against this woman’s picky taste. She looked down on wealthy tycoons and didn’t care for the suave second-generation officials either, ultimately marrying Eunuch Rui. At that time, Chen Pingrui was just a businessman beginning to see some success, far from his current glory, and he had beside him a dominant legal wife.

Outsiders said Lin Jingran was gambling, yet unknown to them, Lin Jingran had her own rules. Other women hook up with men for money and power, but Lin Jingran wouldn’t die. When she picked men, money was the third criterion, power the second, and the most important was the man’s potential for future appreciation. How else could Lin Jingran become the top courtesan? She had all the cunning that one ought to have.

Ye Tian was ousted from Zheng Xinru’s plans; it wasn’t told to her by Zheng Xinru, but something she deduced on her own. As long as Liu Ping was alive, whatever Ye Tian should have, he would at least temporarily have. But once Liu Ping was dead as a doornail, the first one to be unlucky would definitely be Ye Tian. Who was Zheng Xinru? Someone who’d think many steps ahead, even a thousand steps. How could she tolerate someone she couldn’t control by her side? Keep in mind, Zhang Xiayang is not yet dead – the timeless truth that ’one mountain cannot hold two tigers’ applies. She’s playing with that morose yet subtly strong spirit in Ye Tian; this kind of man, just give him a slight chance, and in time, he’ll achieve great things!

"Ding-dong." The elevator arrived, empty.

Ye Tian stepped in, Lin Jingran with a slight smile, swung her graceful body to follow suit. She wasn’t deliberately flaunting her seductiveness; she was naturally a woman whose very speech could drip with charm. After all, aren’t all women made of water?

"Come with me to the rooftop..."

Before she finished speaking, Ye Tian pressed the "-1" button for the underground parking location, instantly Lin Jingran’s heart began to panic.

"Going to the rooftop is too quick, let’s go underground instead, it has more flavor than the rooftop, and it’s more thrilling. What do you say, Sister Lin?"

In the elevator with just the two of them, the space wasn’t cramped, but as Ye Tian got increasingly closer, Lin Jingran suddenly regretted taking Ye Tian down. With Ye Tian gradually closing in, Lin Jingran could only helplessly retreat; here, without a doubt, no third person would appear, she would’ve welcomed anyone from any floor pressing the button.

Finally, when Ye Tian’s hands were braced against the walls, trapping Lin Jingran inside, she realized, in the game of cat and mouse, she might have underestimated the mouse, or rather, perhaps he was never a mouse to begin with.

"Ye Tian, I think, maybe another day I will... uh!"

Ye Tian abruptly pulled her closer, her body pressing against his, nestled into his embrace, while his two strong hands held her tightly from behind, without wandering up or down, nor gently consoling, they just stayed there, immobilizing the woman.

Lin Jingran, filled with shame and indignation, fiercely pinched the side of his lower abdomen, hoping he would let go, but to no avail, Ye Tian remained unmoved.

"Sister Lin, you better stop moving, or I can’t guarantee what I might do."

Ye Tian’s icy voice was more despairing than the chill of autumn. Lin Jingran suddenly remembered, this is the man who faced off alone against more than twenty people with blades on Nanshan, and having just been kicked out of the game by Zheng Xinru, who knows what kind of resentment he held in his heart.

Lin Jingran felt fear; she was scared Ye Tian might kill her right there in that elevator. Her hands gradually stopped pinching him and dropped to her sides; as long as she could keep her life, she would let him do as he pleased!

Ye Tian felt a breath as soft as orchids by his ear, tickling and making him itch, only hearing Lin Jingran’s faint voice, "Ye Tian, come on, whatever you want, I’ll give it to you."

What I want? You think you can offer it?

A cold smile flickered across Ye Tian’s lips, Lin Jingran leaning on his shoulder didn’t see this smile; if she had, she would’ve likely broken out in a cold sweat.

"Alright, Sister Lin, I was just joking with you. It’s enough for me to get off on the first floor."

He let go of the hands that were firmly wrapped around Lin Jingran’s back and then pressed the "1" button, leaning in another corner of the elevator, Ye Tian watched Lin Jingran with a playful look.

As Lin Jingran looked at the man opposite her returning to normalcy with a teasing expression on his face, she suddenly understood, this guy was just like Chen Pingrui and those others, all of them love to control everything. When she was desperately struggling, he was completely unaffected, and when she quietly decided to let him manipulate her, he released her and just quietly watched her. He was showing her that he could control everything according to his will, including you, Lin Jingran.

If there was a cigarette to smoke at this moment, Ye Tian would definitely have taken a drag, then coolly stood in the corner of the elevator watching Lin Jingran, as if he had already played with her once and was now carefully examining her body. It’s just a pity that this cigarette scene certainly wouldn’t happen.
