Chapter 100: Lin Xiyen: A Bit Comfortable, A Bit Ticklish
In the CEO’s office of the Lin Corporation.
“Who told you to follow me?” Lin Xiyen irritably said to Ye Tian standing before her. Is this guy deaf? Didn’t he hear her saying she didn’t need a bodyguard?
“Master Lin instructed me to protect you, so naturally, I follow his orders.” Ye Tian replied with a grin, his eyes filled with admiration when he looked at Lin Xiyen.
Lin Xiyen was much more attractive than the foreign women he had flirted with over the years, not just in looks but also in temperament.
“Get out!” Lin Xiyen’s cold gaze fell on Ye Tian, her expression sour.
“Okay.” Ye Tian didn’t persist and left immediately.
He knew such things couldn’t be rushed and there was no hurry; in his eyes, Lin Xiyen was already in the bag. Ye Tian walked out of Lin Xiyen’s office and lit a cigarette by the corridor window.
Jiang Che, exiting the elevator, noticed him immediately. Perhaps due to frequently dealing with protagonists, Jiang Che felt an instinctive awareness whenever he encountered one.
The system’s alert also confirmed his suspicion.
“Ding, a protagonist’s aura detected nearby. System has automatically compiled the protagonist’s information. Host, would you like to view it?”
“Ding, detected the Son of Luck—Ye Tian, initiating assassination mission. Completion rewards available, no time limit or failure penalties.”
“View.”
Protagonist: Ye Tian
Cultivation: Innate Peak
Luck: 15000
Identity: Leader of Heizhou Sky Wolf Mercenaries
Skills: Advanced Firearms Mastery, Advanced Combat Techniques…
“15,000 luck?” Jiang Che’s gaze towards Ye Tian changed, as if seeing a crop ready for harvest. 15,000 luck meant 30,000 villain points! Enough to elevate his cultivation to the peak of the Transformation Stage!
Ye Tian sensed someone watching him. He frowned, turned his head, and saw Jiang Che entering Lin Xiyen’s office. He didn’t think much of it and turned back to his cigarette.
…………
“Why are you here?” Lin Xiyen was surprised to see Jiang Che. Since their last encounter at her grandfather’s birthday banquet, she hadn’t seen him for nearly half a month.
Busy dealing with the beauty pill business, she had no time to meet anyone. Moreover, Jiang Che, who had professed his affection, hadn’t visited her even once. This made her quite annoyed. Had he just flirted and then stopped caring?
“Don’t you welcome me?” Jiang Che raised an eyebrow, sitting opposite Lin Xiyen, his tone playful.
“Not welcome, please leave.” Lin Xiyen glanced at him, annoyed. Didn’t he know that pursuing a girl required striking while the iron is hot? After being charmed by him last time, he just disappeared?
“Let’s have dinner together later.”
Jiang Che swiftly changed the subject, not wanting to linger on this matter. After all, being so popular, he couldn’t just hover around Lin Xiyen all the time.
“Wanna go to dinner?”
“Why did you suddenly think of inviting me to dinner? Aren’t you afraid your senior sister will be jealous?” Lin Xiyen sarcastically commented.
This scoundrel already had a stunning beauty like Shen Qingqiu as his fiancée, yet he flirted with her, and she actually fell for it. Thus, she harbored both love and hate for Jiang Che.
“She won’t be, she’s very obedient~” Jiang Che said with a smile, now fearless even if Shen Qingqiu found out. Worst case, he would persuade her until she had no complaints!
“Humph.” Lin Xiyen snorted, then lowered her head to continue working on documents.
Jiang Che didn’t disturb her, quietly watching her, admiring her stunning beauty. He found Lin Xiyen quite attractive when she was focused on work.
…………
“I’m done. Where shall we eat?” An hour later, Lin Xiyen finally finished her documents, rubbing her forehead and asking. Although she knew Jiang Che had no good intentions in asking her out, she didn’t want to refuse him.
Women are mysteriously complex; if a man gives them a different feeling, even if they know they’re being deceived, they willingly fall for it. That’s why good girls often get taken advantage of by scoundrels like Jiang Che.
“Let’s go to a private restaurant.” Jiang Che suggested with a smile, leaving the office first, with Lin Xiyen following close behind.
“Where are you going?” Ye Tian, seeing Jiang Che and Lin Xiyen walking together towards the elevator, frowned and quickly followed.
“Where I go is none of your business.” Lin Xiyen coldly retorted, finding Ye Tian increasingly annoying. Wasn’t it enough for him to mind his own business? And why did this bodyguard think he had the right to ask about her whereabouts?
“I…” Ye Tian was at a loss for words, realizing he was just a bodyguard with no right to question his boss’s private matters. But in his heart, Lin Xiyen was already his woman; how could he tolerate her going out with another man?
“I’m just ensuring your safety.” Ye Tian made up an excuse, then turned to Jiang Che with a threatening look. “Young man, better stay away from our CEO, or you’ll regret it!”
Hearing Ye Tian’s words, Lin Xiyen’s face showed a bizarre expression. This guy really thought too highly of himself.
“Are you threatening me?” Jiang Che was amused. Aren’t villains supposed to threaten the protagonist? Yet here was the protagonist threatening him.
Jiang Che slapped Ye Tian across the face, sending him flying down the corridor until he stopped near a window.
Ye Tian struggled to his feet, wiping the blood from his mouth, looking at Jiang Che in disbelief.
How could this happen? He hadn’t sensed any martial arts aura from Jiang Che!
“Young man, I’m letting you off this time for being Xiyen’s bodyguard. Next time, I’ll cripple you! Some people you can never afford to provoke.” Jiang Che looked disdainfully at Ye Tian and pulled Lin Xiyen’s delicate hand, heading for the elevator.
Lin Xiyen let Jiang Che lead her, not glancing back at Ye Tian. After they disappeared into the elevator, Ye Tian finally came to his senses. Touching his aching cheek, he glared at Jiang Che, filled with murderous intent.
For how many years had no one dared to treat him like this? He, the leader of the Sky Wolf Mercenaries, got slapped on his first day back in Jiuzhou Country? If this got out, wouldn’t people laugh their heads off?
“Good, you’ve successfully angered me!”
Ye Tian didn’t linger and chased after them, determined to ensure Lin Xiyen’s safety.
…………
Jiang Che drove his Ferrari with Lin Xiyen in the passenger seat, followed by several Maybachs driven by their bodyguards.
At a crossroads, while waiting for the traffic light, Jiang Che began his mischievous moves.
“What are you doing!” Lin Xiyen’s face turned crimson, bewildered by Jiang Che’s actions, seeming somewhat lost. She hadn’t expected Jiang Che to possess such mysterious medical skills…
“Nothing, I’m helping you expel the coldness in your body.” Jiang Che replied seriously, discovering Lin Xiyen also had a strange constitution like Ah Qing’s.
“But I don’t have any coldness in my body.” Lin Xiyen’s face was flushed, both embarrassed and annoyed by Jiang Che’s actions. And she didn’t know she had any internal coldness.
Besides, who treats it like Jiang Che does? And this sensation was really ticklish…
“That’s because your cultivation is shallow, so you haven’t noticed the coldness in your body. I’m currently expelling it for you, don’t move!”
“You…” Lin Xiyen was dumbfounded by Jiang Che’s actions, truly shameless! Is this how his family treats illness? Instinctively, she thought of struggling, but Jiang Che stopped her again.
“Stop… it’s ticklish~” Lin Xiyen murmured softly, her face reddening, forehead beaded with sweat, hair slightly disheveled. She hadn’t expected Jiang Che to have such a hobby…
…………
On Tianhua South Road, Jiang Che parked his Ferrari by the roadside, allowing Lin Xiyen to finally reclaim her black silk-clad foot.
Jiang Che, feeling refreshed, stepped out of the car and lit a cigarette.
Lin Xiyen, having put on her shoes, slowly got out of the car, her head lowered, feeling incredibly shy. After all, it was her first time receiving such “treatment” from Jiang Che, and now she understood why he was so obsessed with stockings…
“How does it feel now? Better, right?” Jiang Che asked Lin Xiyen with a grin, pleased regardless of her feelings.
“You… shameless!” Lin Xiyen glared at Jiang Che and entered the restaurant.
Jiang Che extinguished his cigarette, glanced back at a taxi that had been following them from Lin Corporation, and smiled playfully before heading inside.
The taxi had followed them from Lin Corporation, and Jiang Che knew it was Ye Tian inside.
