"You mean you thought I would attend the Luo family's engagement party, so you didn't come home today?"

"So I canceled the Luo family's engagement banquet, painstakingly cooked a meal for you, and waited for you at home with an empty stomach, while you went to the Luo family's engagement banquet, and ate and drank until your belly was round?"

"And then it's all my fault?"

Su Qingyue asked, looking completely bewildered.

I'm so annoyed, but I also feel like laughing.

Is it strange that Ye redeems it?

Nobody knew she would cancel her engagement to the Luo family.

"Then, what about all that I've done?"

Her tone was no longer as assertive as before; it carried more grievance and less resentment. She looked at Ye Shu pitifully, like a kitten that had been soaked by the rain and hadn't yet seen its owner return home.

"Consider yourself sentimental, consider yourself delusional."

Ye Shu wanted to say that, but looking into those big, watery eyes, he changed his mind and said, "It's fate playing tricks on me, I was blind, I didn't know how to appreciate it, and I failed to live up to Miss Su's kindness."

A normally cold and domineering female CEO suddenly looks at you with this kind of gaze.

No one could withstand that, right?

Ye Shu knew he couldn't remain indifferent.

He's not a eunuch.

Faced with such beauty, who is also his future wife, and whose sincerity is genuine, even the hardest heart would melt into tenderness.

"That's not right!"

Su Qingyue suddenly realized what was happening and grabbed his collar.

"You're just an ordinary person. How did you get into the Luo family's engagement banquet without me taking you? The Luo family isn't a place anyone can just walk into. You're lying to me, aren't you?!"

She glared fiercely at Ye Shu, baring her two small, white fangs, as if to say, "If you dare to fool me, I'll breathe on you and bite you."

"Didn't I tell you?"

Ye Shu looked at her with an innocent expression.

"Actually... I am Liu Ruyan's personal bodyguard."

"ha?!"

The shock of this news was no less than hearing that you should add ketchup to dumplings. Su Qingyue's eyes widened suddenly, and she even sobered up a bit. She pointed at Ye Shu in disbelief.

"You mean to say that the fiancé of the eldest daughter of the Su family, the most prestigious of the four great families in Yuecheng, is a bodyguard for that good-for-nothing young lady from the Liu family? And a close bodyguard at that?!"

She was so angry she was about to go crazy.

This was even more unacceptable to her than Ye Shu forgetting her own birthday and going to the engagement party!

That good-for-nothing from the Liu family, he has absolutely no brains.

She actually wants her fiancé to be her bodyguard?!

Close-fitting?!

They can't compete with her in business, so they resort to dirty tricks, right?

Su Qingyue's chest heaved violently, and she was like a cherry bomb that could be ignited at any moment. If she was not careful, she would spiral into the sky with Ye Shu.

Seeing her like this, Ye Shu shrugged innocently.

"Please, you're the one who told me to go out and find work. Now that I've finally found some, and you're looking at me like that? What do you want from me, Miss?"

"I still can't be that good-for-nothing's bodyguard for the Liu family!"

"I won't accept it!"

Su Qingyue's attitude was extremely firm.

After briefly processing the information, Su Qingyue gradually calmed down. That good-for-nothing from the Liu family probably didn't know about her relationship with Ye Shu, and Ye Shu wouldn't go around spreading this information.

On this matter of keeping secrets, she trusted Ye Shu exceptionally.

After all, if Ye Shu were the kind of vain and smooth-talking person, he would have gone to great lengths to coax her into bed, instead of marking his territory in the toilet every day as if it were a task to be completed.

If this gets out, where will she put her face?

In just a moment, Su Qingyue had already come up with the best solution.

She returned to the sofa, pulled a black gold card from her bag, slapped it on the sofa, raised her chin slightly, and looked arrogant, like a wicked mother-in-law in an old TV drama who uses money to break up the male and female leads.

"Double pay, leave that woman."

No one understands Ye Shu better than her.

He would pluck the stars from the sky for her if he had money.

However, Ye Shu didn't even blink and shook his head.

"I refuse."

Upon hearing this, Su Qingyue frowned.

Is this an attempt to raise the price on her behalf?

She didn't think that Ye Shu liked Liu Ruyan, after all, even her charm couldn't make this guy take a second look, so it was even less likely that the good-for-nothing Liu family member would.

She naturally assumed that this was an attempt to inflate prices.

"Isn't that enough, you greedy bastard..."

Su Qingyue muttered under her breath and raised the stakes again.

"three times."

"no."

"Five times!"

Ye Shu shook his head again.

"ten times!"

"No, it's not about the money..."

Before he could explain, Su Qingyue, already fueled by the alcohol, started acting crazy again after her hard-won sobriety returned, and she yelled at him defiantly:

"A hundred times! A thousand times, is that enough?!"

"Here's all the money in the card! Leave that woman!"

"I cannot do it."

Ye Shu sighed helplessly.

Su Qingyue stared at him blankly, not understanding why he refused. Could it be... could it be that he really had his eye on Liu Ruyan? Otherwise, given her sky-high price, Ye Shu would have no reason to refuse.

In that instant, Su Qingyue felt like her world had collapsed.

She never imagined that the good-for-nothing she had suppressed her for her entire life would actually win against her in this one particular way.

However, before she could feel dejected for long, she heard Ye Shu say resentfully, "The Liu family didn't pay me a salary at all. No matter how many times you pay me, it's still zero. What the hell am I supposed to do? Do what the hell? Besides, I've already been fired, what's the point of leaving?"

? ? ? ?

Still immersed in grief, Su Qingyue was completely bewildered.

She looked at Ye Shu, whose face was full of hatred, and tentatively asked:

"Then...you...you don't like Liu Ruyan?"

"What do I like about her? Does she have two heads or three legs?"

Ye Shu retorted irritably.

Upon hearing this, Su Qingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, she abruptly raised her head, grabbed Ye Shu by the collar, pushed him down onto the sofa, and glared at him fiercely, baring her two little tiger teeth: "You're still going even without pay?"

"You're the kind of guy who won't get up early for nothing. How could you possibly work for someone for free? You must have something else in mind. Tell me! Are you after that good-for-nothing Liu from the Liu family, with his beauty and body, and that good-for-nothing's good-for-nothing sister?"

"Don't send it anymore!"

Ye Shu said with some resentment.

"It makes me angry just thinking about it."

Seeing that his anger seemed genuine, Su Qingyue's jealousy subsided somewhat, and she loosened her grip on his collar.

"Oh? Tell me about it."

"If I'm not satisfied, I'll bite you!"

After saying that, she defiantly revealed her two sharp canine teeth.

Seeing her like this, Ye Shu knew he had no choice but to speak up.

He then sighed softly and began to recount that sad past.

"You told me not to look for work before, so I went out for a walk to see if there were any good jobs. I hadn't been out for long when I met an old man on the street. His eyes lit up when he saw me, and he insisted on taking my hand, saying that I had extraordinary bone structure and was incredibly handsome. He insisted on introducing me to a job that would ensure I would be set for life."

"I hid it so well, but he still discovered my extraordinary nature."

"That's why I knew right away that this old man was no ordinary person!"

Ye Shu spoke with such conviction that he seemed to firmly believe it.

Old man?

Su Qingyue tilted her head.

Combining Ye Shu's words with his own experiences.

She was certain that the old man was the patriarch of the Liu family.

Grandpa Liu usually enjoys sitting in the neighborhood basking in the sun, but who would have thought that this shameless old man would actually set his sights on her fiancé!

"And then?" she asked, puzzled.

"And then? Then I happily followed him back to the Liu family, only to find out that I was going to be Liu Ruyan's bodyguard. I was just about to ask him how much he was paid when Old Bi suddenly rolled his eyes and fainted."

"Then why didn't you leave?" Su Qingyue asked curiously.

"Where are we going?"

Ye Shuyi shrugged.

"Since I'm already here, and they even arranged a room for me, a single room with a double bed. My job is to eat whatever Liu Ruyan eats and sleep wherever she sleeps. As long as there's food, drink, and entertainment, I'll accept it. At worst, I'll just wait for the old man to wake up."

"So, tell me, is that absurd or not?"

"At the Luo family's engagement banquet, Liu Ruyan suddenly went crazy and tried to slap me across the face, and then fired me on the spot!"

He beat his chest and stamped his feet, sighing and lamenting, looking as if he had lost five million.

"After working for so long, I haven't earned a single penny. It's all been volunteer work."

Upon hearing this, Su Qingyue was taken aback.

She looked at Ye Shu and repeated:

"You mean you were tricked into becoming a bodyguard, but as soon as you got home, your employer passed out and didn't sign a contract. So, to wait for him to wake up, you planned to work first and get paid later. But before he even woke up, you were fired by another employer. Not only did you not get a penny, but you also wasted your time and energy."

"right!"

Ye Shu suddenly clapped his hands.

"That's a very insightful summary. Don't you think I've been wronged?"

"I work hard and live diligently, getting up earlier than pigs and going to bed later than chickens, but I haven't earned a single penny and people even look down on me. I'm more wronged than Pigsy!"

"puff--"

Su Qingyue couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing.

"Hahahahahahahahahaha!"

She clutched her stomach and rolled around on the sofa.

"You...you've finally met your match? Hahahaha!"

"Serves you right for bullying me, hahaha!"

What could be more gratifying than this money-grubbing, life-risking guy getting ripped off for free?

She couldn't stop laughing, laughing so hard she was out of breath, her stomach twitching, and she rolled under the table.
