Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

While Luo Chen was still pondering how to "sacrifice family for the greater good" and send his parents to prison in a way that wouldn't cause them to suffer a stroke, Ye Shu was hugging his arms and trembling as he walked towards a luxury residential area.

River View Villa.

The best residential community in Yuecheng, bar none.

Located by the river and backed by mountains, this place is incredibly valuable; money alone cannot buy it. You also need extensive connections and a strong background. Almost all the important figures in Yuecheng live here, and living here is itself a symbol of status.

This indicates that they have entered the top circle of Moon City.

But Ye Shu didn't care about any of that; he just wanted to go home and sleep as soon as possible.

It's cold now... I've had my fill at the engagement party.

In short, I need to go home and sleep.

"It's so cold, I should have worn more layers."

His teeth chattered from the cold, and he quickened his pace.

Just as the gate of the residential complex came into view, a sneer suddenly came from across the entrance:

"Yo yo yo, isn't this Bodyguard Ye? You've gotten so tired in just a short while?"

Ye Shu looked up; it was truly a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road.

The one who spoke was a petite girl, her thin, bright green floral dress fluttering in the cold wind, her straight calves exposed and slightly bluish from the cold.

The girl's gaze towards Ye Shu held a childlike dislike.

Liu Weiwei.

Liu Ruyan's distant cousin, a spoiled little girl who was pampered since childhood.

Standing next to Liu Weiwei was Liu Ruyan.

She gently tugged at her cousin's sleeve and whispered, "Weiwei, stop talking."

Although the doctor said there was nothing wrong, and her face was even smoother and rosier than before, the humiliation of being publicly restrained still lingered in her mind. As a result, whenever she saw Ye Shu, her face would ache slightly, and she would feel a chill in her heart, instinctively wanting to avoid him.

However, Liu Weiwei was unaware of the details and did not attend the banquet due to other commitments.

I only heard that my sister was beaten up, by that lousy bodyguard she despised the most, who only knew how to live off women.

Now that she's caught in the act, all she wants is to vent her anger for her sister.

"Don't be afraid, Sister Liu. There's a security booth right next to us. He won't dare to do anything to us," Liu Weiwei whispered back.

Liu Ruyan was inwardly groaning.

What's the use of security guards?

Didn't you see how many people were at the engagement party? Ye Shu didn't hesitate to hit them without any mercy. She would rather there be no one around, so that if Ye Shu went crazy and hit her, it wouldn't be so embarrassing if no one was watching.

Ye Shu wasn't annoyed by Liu Weiwei; he just clicked his tongue in admiration.

"It's good to be young, you're not afraid of the cold."

"Hmph! You think I'm like you? I'm not afraid of this temperature at all!" Liu Weiwei retorted, her neck stiff. "With your puny build, you want to be a bodyguard? You're not even as good as me!"

"Didn't you just say you were freezing and needed to go back and put on your long johns?"

Liu Ruyan was somewhat bewildered.

My cousin was clearly shivering from the cold, and I just told her to hurry home and put on her long johns. Why did she change her mind now?

Upon hearing this, Ye Shu almost couldn't help but laugh.

Liu Weiwei's face flushed red to her ears instantly. She turned around and complained softly to Liu Ruyan, "Sis! Why do you always undermine me?"

Immediately, she turned around and glared at Ye Shu, both embarrassed and annoyed, trying to cover up her embarrassment with her voice, "What are you laughing at? I suddenly don't feel cold anymore, okay?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a cold wind suddenly blew in.

"Achoo!"

A loud sneeze from Liu Weiwei shattered her grand pronouncements.

He even blew out snot bubbles.

The scene was very embarrassing.

"puff!"

Seeing the big snot bubble on Liu Weiwei's face, Ye Shu couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

He's a professional at suppressing laughter, unless he absolutely can't help it.

Liu Ruyan also looked tense, almost bursting into tears, and quickly covered her mouth and turned her head away.

"You! None of you are allowed to laugh!"

Liu Weiwei wiped her nose with the back of her hand, but the more she wiped, the more it spread, covering half of her face. She was so anxious that her eyes turned red. In the end, Liu Ruyan handed her a pack of tissues and she was able to wipe it clean.

These few moves did nothing to curb her arrogance.

Instead, all the blame was placed on Ye Shu.

It's all because of that lousy bodyguard! Why did he have to come at this time of year? He made her freeze and embarrass herself outside. It's all that guy's fault!

Today, she really went after him!

Liu Weiwei put her hands on her hips and said angrily:

"What are you doing at Jiangjing Villa, you stinking bodyguard? You think she'll still take you in after you hit our Sister Liu? Let me tell you, the Liu family has already fired you. Without our Liu family, you wouldn't even be allowed to enter Jiangjing Villa. If you know what's good for you, go back to sleeping under your bridge and stop embarrassing yourself!"

After saying that, she looked relieved, finally getting her revenge.

It's even more refreshing than eating a big bite of ice cream on a sweltering summer day!

However, a pale white hand tugged at her sleeve.

"Weiwei..."

"What's wrong, Sister Liu?" Liu Weiwei asked, turning around in confusion.

"Um...did you say something a bit harsh?"

"ha?"

Liu Weiwei looked at Liu Ruyan with disbelief.

"Sister Liu, are you kidding me? This guy bullied you in public, and now you're defending him? Is it really like what people are saying, that you like this gigolo bodyguard?"

"No way! I'd rather like a dog than him!" Liu Ruyan glared at her, embarrassed and annoyed, and stammered, "I just... I just felt that it's so cold outside, what if he gets sick from the cold?"

Liu Ruyan knew a little about Ye Shu.

This guy is lazy and doesn't have a penny to his name. If we don't let him go back to the Liu family, given his assets and personality, he might actually end up sleeping under a bridge.

Are people sleeping under bridges?

Liu Ruyan, who had been pampered since childhood, could not even imagine it.

Even if she really hated Ye Shu, she didn't want him to end up like that.

There was another half-sentence she didn't say.

Actually... after thinking about it carefully, she realized that she was indeed in the wrong at the banquet. Luo Chen had struck first, but she had tried to hit Ye Shu without even asking what happened, and in such a humiliating way as slapping him across the face. Even she, a woman, couldn't stand it, let alone Ye Shu... although shameless, he must have some male chauvinism, right?

However, her girlish modesty prevented her from doing so.

"Please, I'm begging you, okay?"

Seeing Liu Weiwei frown, Liu Ruyan softened her tone.

My younger sister is the type who responds best to gentle persuasion but not to force; she has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

"Okay, okay, I know. Who told our Sister Liu to be so kind?" Liu Weiwei sighed helplessly and shouted at Ye Shu, who was squatting by the roadside playing with dog poop with his tail.

"Hey! You stinky bodyguard, stop playing with dog poop there!"

She raised her chin and said haughtily,

"I'm being kind today. If you apologize to Sister Liu now, I can forgive your rude behavior and let you stay at the Liu family's house for the night. However..."

She was about to say something when Liu Ruyan poked her waist and changed her mind.

"I'll let you stay until you find a new job, how about that? Hurry up and kneel down to thank me for my great kindness!"

"Oh?"

Ye Shu, who was squatting on the ground playing with dog poop, looked up, somewhat surprised.

As the Dragon King, although he neglected physical training, he had been constantly practicing his hearing to avoid being chased by debt collectors. He had heard everything Liu Ruyan said just now.

Surprisingly, this seemingly foolish woman has some redeeming qualities.

That makes sense, she's the female lead.

It can't be completely without any advantages, can it?

A creature with only flaws is called a terrifying whale.

"What? Aren't you going to thank me quickly?"

Liu Weiwei urged.

"My time is very precious. If I miss this opportunity, I won't get another one."

She was 100% certain that this guy would back down.

Even she couldn't withstand the cold wind tonight.

Could this gigolo be more resilient than her?

Are you kidding me!

"It seems I have no other choice."

Ye Shu stood up with a smile, twirled the foxtail grass around, put the clean end in his mouth, and said coolly.

"But the thing I love most in my life is saying no to those guys who think they're in control of everything."

"Therefore, I refuse."
