“Sister, I swear to protect you with my life, if only for the benefit of my stomach!”
The simple meal was quite appetizing.
“You don’t have to, really. The situation is tense now. They probably wouldn’t dare to do anything foolish right now.”
She was a simple nobody who was not even properly accepted into the Huo family. All the effort to protect her seemed excessive.
“No can do. This is a precaution we must take,” Yan Se replied firmly and continued with her dinner.
After they were done, the bodyguard even offered to wash the dishes.
When she was done, she said, “I am living upstairs. Just holler if you need anything.”
“Upstairs?” Lu Zhaoyang recalled that the unit upstairs was occupied.
“You have to believe in the efficiency of our boss!” Yan Se waved goodbye and left.
The truth was, she had told her employer that she could sleep on the sofa, but that idea was rejected straight away.
She realized later that if her boss was to visit in the middle of the night, she would definitely be a huge inconvenience.
Lu Zhaoyang felt that Yan Se would never leave until they found the shooter behind the attacks.
In the end, she accepted the reality of things. She brushed her teeth and went to bed.
The next morning, she was awoken by a knock on her door. She opened the door to see Yan Se with a cup of fresh soybean milk and in black exercise outfit.
“Morning, sis. What’s for breakfast?”
Lu Zhaoyang rubbed her eyes and asked, “If you bought soybean milk, shouldn’t you buy breakfast too?”
Yan Se sat down lazily on the sofa and crossed her legs. “I saw this idiot during my morning run. He was wearing only shorts and short-sleeved shirt. Then, I snatched his soybean and ran away just for kicks.”
Lu Zhaoyang stared at her bodyguard. How hungry was she to casually steal food from someone else?
That unfortunate person must definitely be Lu Bai.
Lu Zhaoyang sighed. After refreshing herself, she was about to start making breakfast when she heard the doorbell ring.
“I’ll get it!” Yan Se tossed her finished drink into the bin and went to open the door.
“I bought you breakfast, sister.” Lu Bai spoke from the door.
When Yan Se noticed it was him, she immediately turned away and muttered, “Please don’t recognize me, please don’t recognize me…”
“Come in.” Lu Zhaoyang came and threw a quick glance at Yan Se, who was trying to hide herself.
“I met a funny robber downstairs who ignored my wallet and stole my soy milk. Ah, I think she looked like the lady who went inside.”
Lu Bai passed a pack of soybean milk that he bought again and a steamed bun for Lu Zhaoyang. He then fixed his eyes on Yan Se, who had her back toward them.
“It’s her alright.” Lu Zhaoyang rather enjoyed the drama.
Lu Bai was disgruntled. “Aren’t you going to apologize to me?”
Yan Se turned to face him with an awkward chuckle. Her eyes widened in appreciation as she noticed his face. “Hey there handsome, I was only trying to find a way to say hi to you. It’s effective, right? You’re talking to me now.”
“Cough cough…” Lu Zhaoyang reached for the tissue, having nearly choked on her soybean milk drink.
Even falling in love at first sight would take longer than that.
Lu Bai watched her approach him slowly and frowned in concern. He extended an arm to her and said, “Stop! Since you know my neighbour here, I will forgive you!”
“Are you trying to touch me?”
Yan Se smiled dangerously at him.
