The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 31 - 31 28 027 The Fox in the Sky is So Beautiful

31: Chapter 28 Chapter 027: The Fox in the Sky is So Beautiful 31: Chapter 28 Chapter 027: The Fox in the Sky is So Beautiful When he walked out of the locker room, his gaze immediately landed on Li Ruo.

His expression was a treasure trove of emotions, shifting from a beaming smile to utter shock, then to a face full of gloom, and finally, his complexion turned dark as he slouched forward, the very picture of utter defeat.

Li Ruo stood with her arms folded across her chest, a blush coloring her fair face, and a sly twinkle in her eye.

All of a sudden, she realized that this game stirred the childlike joy within her heart.

She couldn’t help but chuckle internally, thinking this guy was really interesting.

Standing nearby, Lin Ziwen covered her red lips, snickering quietly.

She had thought Ye Chen had escaped disaster, only to realize that one can run from the monk but not from the temple.

And people like Li Tieniu were profoundly shocked; they reckoned the kid was done for.

His recent insolence had blasted everyone into a stunned mess.

“Mr.

Li…

were you looking for me?” Ye Chen hunched over, a picture of defeat.

Damn it, he thought, actually losing to this little girl.

“Why is it ‘Mr.

Li’ now?

Weren’t you talking about ‘that little girl’?” Li Ruo curved her lips into a cold smirk with a unique charm to it.

Unfortunately, Ye Chen was in no mood to admire the beauty, thoroughly defeated by Li Ruo.

“Not at all, I definitely wasn’t talking about you just now!” Ye Chen quickly shook his head.

“Then who were you talking about?” Li Ruo looked at him coldly.

“I…” Ye Chen’s gaze fell on Lin Ziwen, and he immediately pointed at her, saying, “Her, I was talking about her just now.”

As he spoke, his eyes pleaded with Lin Ziwen, hoping she would take the fall for him.

Lin Ziwen was instantly infuriated, her brows like willow leaves furrowed in anger.

This jerk, he had no loyalty!

She had spared him in the locker room, and now he was trying to saddle her with the blame.

“Hmph, no matter who you were talking about, you’re not getting away today!” Li Ruo glared at Ye Chen.

“You, come to my office with me!”

After saying that, she turned and walked away.

Lin Ziwen watched Ye Chen coolly and huffed, “Hurry up and follow!”

Inside the security room, there was an uproar as everyone looked at Ye Chen with sympathy, each shaking their heads in pity.

A fine bodyguard, likely to be either demoted or fired.

Becoming an advanced guard was the envy of the security staff.

“Bro, don’t blame Tie Niu for not helping you!” Li Tieniu patted Ye Chen’s shoulder and said, “It’s not that I won’t help you, but Mr.

Li is just too cunning!”

“That’s right, that little girl is really cunning, like a sly fox!” Ye Chen said through clenched teeth.

“What did you say?” Li Ruo, who had just left, came back.

“Nothing…” Ye Chen hurriedly shook his head, his eyes fixed on the ceiling, and said, “I said the fox in the sky is so beautiful!”

Pfft…

Lin Ziwen burst into laughter.

Li Ruo, not amused, left again, and Ye Chen quickly followed.

“What happened?” Li Cheng blinked his shifty eyes.

“Fatty, you have to save me this time!” Ye Chen hurried over, pulling out two hundred yuan.

“Caught by that little girl Mr.

Li, I’m not dead this time, I’m going to be skinned alive.

Two hundred yuan for you, my brotherly gift, please put in a good word for me!”

“No, I can’t take this money!” Li Cheng quickly shook his head and said, “You better deal with this yourself, whether you live or die, leave it to fate.”

CEO’s office.

Li Ruo furiously gulped down a big mouthful of coffee, enraged that the guy had dared to insult her in front of so many people, which was just too much.

Miss here was certainly not so easy to bully.

Angered, Li Ruo wished she could tear Ye Chen apart right there and then.

Thump, thump, thump!

Ye Chen knocked and entered, Li Ruo’s expression cold as ice, sending chills down one’s spine.

God damn it, I didn’t force myself on you, is that icy face really necessary?

Ye Chen cautiously approached, heart in his throat.

“Mr.

Ye, please have a seat!” Lin Ziwen, still following the old rules, brewed a cup of tea for Ye Chen.

“Thank you!” Ye Chen nodded his head in thanks.

“You’re welcome!” Lin Ziwen was quite fond of Ye Chen.

The guy was a bit handsome, and he was humorous as well as comical.

She just wondered what his family background was like.

She stood behind Li Ruo, holding a file folder.

“Mr.

Li, did you need me for something?” Ye Chen looked up at Li Ruo.

Her icy demeanor was one thing, but her face and skin were top-notch.

A sight for sore eyes.

However, he wasn’t into her type—too cold.

Plus, Ye Chen seriously doubted whether the girl had a split personality.

How else could she be one way at night and another by day?

“Hmph, you’re the one who injured Captain Cao?” Li Ruo snorted coldly.

“He was the one giving me a hard time first!” Ye Chen shrugged.

“But he is your direct superior, and you actually broke his leg?” Li Ruo was somewhat chilled.

“Ah, well, that’s only because his kung fu wasn’t strong enough.

It’s no big deal if he doesn’t act as team leader!” Ye Chen waved a hand dismissively, “To be a team leader, one must have exceptional capabilities and solid kung fu.

Look at him, vindictive and petty-hearted, where does he have the mindset of a superior?

His kung fu is no match for mine; he’s not fit to be a team leader, might as well let me take over!”

Pfft…

Lin Ziwen was truly amused by Ye Chen’s eloquence.

This guy always managed to make people laugh whenever he opened his mouth.

However, it was also for this reason that Lin Ziwen appreciated Ye Chen; if he were like the rigid Li Tieniu, who blushed at the sight of women, she wouldn’t even bother giving him a second glance, let alone appreciate him.

“Bastard!” Li Ruo was infuriated by Ye Chen’s remarks.

“I’m just telling the hard truth!” Ye Chen looked at Li Ruo, and suddenly the timidity in his heart vanished, replaced by curiosity about Li Ruo’s two-faced character.

Lin Ziwen, unable to bear watching anymore, quickly stepped forward with a smile, “Mr.

Ye, here’s the situation: Next week, there is a real estate launch event!

Captain Cao was supposed to lead the security team to ensure Mr.

Li’s safety.

As you know, after the factory gunfire incident, the board is concerned about Mr.

Li’s safety.

They hired a few bodyguards, but they didn’t make the cut, leaving only you.

Originally, we wanted Captain Cao to lead the team, but now that he’s in the hospital because of you, what do you think we should do about this…”

Uh!

Ye Chen was suddenly taken aback, realizing that his actions had landed their bodyguard in the hospital, leaving next week’s launch without a leader?

As for Vice Captain Jin, there’s no point in mentioning him; he’s a complete mess.

Maybe he could go head-to-head with the urban management officers, but against armed thugs, it might be quite difficult.

After all, to become a competent team leader, one must possess keen insight and observational skills.

Not only should one have sharp eyes, but also acute hearing abilities.

Ye Chen had spent a year in the Golden Triangle and fully understood the qualities required of a team leader, which were definitely not something an ordinary soldier could achieve.

“Hmph!” Seeing Ye Chen go silent, Li Ruo was even more irritated.

“How about I do it?!” Ye Chen suddenly became serious, standing up and saying, “Let me lead the team and ensure the safety of the launch event!”

“You?

Are you up to it?” Li Ruo looked at Ye Chen coldly.

“I definitely can!” Ye Chen nodded confidently, “Have you forgotten what I said during the interview?

You asked me, what should a hired person do when facing a life-threatening danger?

I said I would defend the duties of a bodyguard with my life!”

Ye Chen’s voice suddenly became deep and resonant, causing both Li Ruo and Lin Ziwen’s hearts to throb uncontrollably.

When had this guy ever been so serious?

Wasn’t he always giggling and impish?

“Alright!” Li Ruo nodded.

She chose to trust Ye Chen, swayed by that statement and his current expression.

She chose to trust him unreservedly, just like the day on Xiangming Mountain Road when she handed over the car to him.

And this time, she decided to entrust him with her life, hoping he would fulfill a bodyguard’s duty to the fullest.

After a brief meeting, Ye Chen left Li Ruo’s office.

This time the responsibility was heavy.

To Ye Chen, he wasn’t just protecting Li Ruo’s safety; he was upholding the duty of a bodyguard.

A strong conviction firmed within him, as if he had felt this way before.

Ye Chen shook his head with a strange sensation surfacing in his mind, not knowing where this feeling came from or ever having anticipated it.

A surge of fervor seemed to well up within him…

“Mr.

Li,” Lin Ziwen asked curiously, “can he…

really handle it?”

“At this point, we have no other choice!” Li Ruo sighed and rubbed her temples, “Captain Cao probably won’t be able to move for the next couple of months.

So, we either choose Vice Captain Jin or Ye Chen.

Which do you think is more reliable?”

“Ye Chen!” Lin Ziwen chose without hesitation.

“That settles it then!” Li Ruo nodded and added, “I just hope there won’t be any mishaps at the event!”

“Ah, on the day of the launch, there will probably be a lot of civilians at the scene.

While the police department will send officers to help, I’m worried those thugs in black will show up again!” Lin Ziwen sighed, “If it hadn’t been for someone taking a bullet for you last time, the consequences would have been unthinkable!”

Recounting that day’s events still made Lin Ziwen tremble: the chaos, the workers scattering in disarray upon hearing the gunshots, people looking out for only themselves.

That’s when the competence of a bodyguard would show; they must keep calm in the midst of chaos.

The assailants were vicious, with several converging at once.

After one bodyguard was sacrificed, the criminals seized the confusion to flee as the police arrived.

“I just hope there’s no danger this time!” Li Ruo prayed.

“There definitely won’t be!” Lin Ziwen nodded affirmatively.

But could it truly be safe?

Was everything behind the scenes really just as simple as a shooting?
