“Every single one of them is gorgeous.”
Chu Tian wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth.
He had been imprisoned for three whole years without seeing a single woman. Now, no matter which woman he looked at, she seemed as beautiful as a fairy.
A beautiful woman walked past him up ahead. In the city, a sight like this was perfectly ordinary, yet Chu Tian’s eyes immediately went wide. He could not resist whistling at her twice.
The young married woman turned around and gave him a disgusted look.
Chu Tian, however, seemed completely oblivious to her disgust and continued staring at her with a lecherous grin.
‘I wonder what Shen Mengying looks like. It’d be great if she’s as beautiful as that woman.’
Chu Tian had already begun fantasizing about the future.
Once he became Shen Mengying’s personal bodyguard, there would surely be plenty of intimate and ambiguous encounters between them.
“You’re Chu Tian, right?” At that moment, a female secretary approached him.
“That’s right. I’m Chu Tian.” Chu Tian immediately straightened his expression and answered solemnly.
There was no trace of the lecherous appearance he had displayed moments earlier.
“I’m sorry, but your qualification for today’s interview has been revoked,” the female secretary said coldly.
“Why? I saw everyone else go inside!” Chu Tian immediately became anxious.
“You concealed your criminal record. Our company does not hire security personnel with criminal records.” The female secretary adjusted her glasses.
Even an ordinary company would generally avoid hiring people with criminal records as security personnel to reduce the risk of internal theft.
“This is discrimination! Blatant discrimination! I’m going to sue you!”
Chu Tian immediately began shouting.
Seeing his reaction, the female secretary frowned. She promptly called over the security guards in the distance, preparing to have this troublesome man escorted out.
He had not even been hired yet, and he was already behaving like this.
If they actually allowed him to become the CEO’s personal bodyguard, who knew what kind of trouble he might cause?
Several security guards immediately stepped forward and attempted to throw Chu Tian out.
How could Chu Tian possibly be afraid of them?
He immediately attacked, knocking the security guards to the ground one after another.
He even tried to rush toward the female secretary and hit her.
“Call the police! Hurry and call the police!” the female secretary screamed in terror.
The moment Chu Tian heard the police were being called, he immediately fled.
He was an ex-convict who had only recently been released after serving his sentence.
If he committed another offense, there was no telling how many years he might be imprisoned this time.
As for his promise to the old man that he would protect Shen Mengying, that would have to wait until later.
Still, Chu Tian had no intention of giving up.
If he could successfully win Shen Mengying over, he would never have to worry about food or money for the rest of his life.
…
Ye Yun returned home completely dejected, his heart filled with frustration.
After leaving the mall, Ye Yun had caught up with Wu Jiarui. However, the moment he tried to explain himself, Wu Jiarui had simply told him to get lost.
The date he had meticulously planned for today had been completely ruined. New chapters come out on g.com first.
And it was all because of Zhou Feng!
The mere thought of Zhou Feng made Ye Yun furious.
“You’re back!”
Qin Xiaoxue entered the living room with bloodshot eyes.
She had barely slept the previous night and had simply skipped work today.
Part of the reason was what had happened between her and Zhou Feng.
But Qin Xiaoxue had also spent the entire night checking information about cryptocurrency trading.
What she discovered completely extinguished the last trace of hope in her already despairing heart.
The cryptocurrency she had chosen had become worthless trash. There was no possibility of it ever recovering.
“That bastard Zhou Feng!” Ye Yun suddenly cursed.
“W-What… what did he do?” Even Qin Xiaoxue’s voice began trembling slightly.
Ye Yun immediately told her everything that had happened that day.
After hearing the whole story, Qin Xiaoxue breathed a sigh of relief.
‘So that’s what happened.’
However, after learning that Zhou Feng seemed to have a very close relationship with Wu Jiarui, Qin Xiaoxue could not understand why something felt strange in her heart.
It was an indescribable feeling.
‘Wasn’t Zhou Feng supposed to be interested in me? Why is he getting involved with another woman now…?’
‘As expected, he’s nothing but a scumbag rich kid.’
‘The moment he sees a woman, he loses all self-control, just like an animal.’
“Mom, all of this happened because I don’t have a car. Buy me one later,” Ye Yun suddenly said.
“A car? With our family’s current financial situation… Why don’t you drive mine for now? I can take a taxi to the company.” Qin Xiaoxue immediately looked troubled.
Even the money she had given Ye Yun today had been borrowed.
Where could she possibly find enough money to buy him a car?
“Your car is already several years old! I’d lose face driving something like that. I want a sports car,” Ye Yun immediately refused.
“A sports car?! Absolutely not!” Qin Xiaoxue stared at him in disbelief.
Even the cheapest sports car would cost hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Where was she supposed to find that kind of money?
“I don’t care! If I can’t win Wu Jiarui over because of this, I’ll hate you for the rest of my life!”
After throwing those words at her, Ye Yun returned to his room.
Qin Xiaoxue was left alone in the living room, wiping away her tears.
She had never imagined that Ye Yun would become like this.
‘What am I supposed to do now?’
‘Who can I ask for help?’
‘Who could possibly lend me that much money?
To Qin Xiaoxue’s surprise, the only person who appeared in her mind was Zhou Feng!
Apart from Zhou Feng, there seemed to be no one else she knew who could easily produce that much money.
Moreover, her relationship with Zhou Feng was no longer ordinary.
As long as she asked him, Zhou Feng probably would not refuse.
But…
Hesitation appeared on Qin Xiaoxue’s face. She knew perfectly well what price she would probably have to pay.
‘It’s already happened once. Would a second time really make any difference?’
‘Besides, I already owe Zhou Feng many more times.’
‘There will probably be more in the future anyway.’
‘No, no!’
‘No matter what, Zhou Feng is still Ye Yun’s classmate.’
‘If Ye Yun ever finds out, what would he think?’
‘He might really cut all ties with me.’
Her only choice was to find some way to persuade Ye Yun to abandon the idea of buying a car.
After all, even if he bought one, that did not necessarily mean he would win Wu Jiarui’s heart.
Qin Xiaoxue knew that Ye Yun merely wanted a car so he could show off.
For ordinary university students like them, how many could possibly own their own cars?
Much less a sports car.
At that moment, Qin Xiaoxue’s phone rang.
To her surprise, Zhou Feng had sent her a message.
The two had previously added each other on WeChat because of work.
The moment Qin Xiaoxue saw the contents of the message, she immediately glanced around nervously, terrified that Ye Yun might suddenly appear and see it.
That was because Zhou Feng’s message was astonishingly direct.
[Aunt Qin, I miss you!]
‘This guy!’
How could Qin Xiaoxue possibly fail to understand what Zhou Feng wanted?
She hesitated for a moment but ultimately chose to pretend she had not seen the message.
‘I can’t respond to him. Otherwise, who knows what he’ll try to do?’
‘He’ll probably demand a second time…’
After only that one time, Qin Xiaoxue was already filled with regret.
There absolutely could not be a second time!
However, what Qin Xiaoxue had not expected was for Zhou Feng’s messages to keep arriving one after another.
[Ignoring me? Have you already forgotten me so quickly?]
[That can’t be right. Aunt, you don’t seem like such a fickle person.]
[Are you feeling shy? That’s pretty cute.]
[If you keep ignoring me, I’ll go chat with Ye Yun instead. We can talk about what’s happened recently.]
