The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 181 Your tone is very expert-like.
"It's your birthday today, I should do something for you."

Gu Yuexi held her wine glass and chuckled, "It's not your fault. I deliberately didn't tell you. As long as I have you, that's enough!"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Although I'm touched by what you said, I still think we should have something to commemorate this moment, after all, it's your first birthday since we met..."

Gu Yuexi was about to speak when she saw Lin Chen raise his hand and wave to the waiter next to him.

Gu Yuexi opened her beautiful eyes wide. What was she about to do?
To Gu Yuexi's disbelief, a waiter pushed a food cart out from the bar. On the cart was a small but exquisite cake with lit candles on it and a bunch of bright red roses next to it, with a box on top of the roses.

Gu Yuexi's eyes were filled with undisguised surprise: "When did you prepare this?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I heard it was your birthday, so I picked out a birthday present and asked a colleague who was busy outside to run an errand for me. I had to give something, so that I could remember it in the future."

Gu Yuexi was pleasantly surprised. She deliberately didn't tell Lin Chen beforehand because she didn't want to put him in a difficult position. After all, the two of them seemed to be a little less than lovers, but she didn't expect Lin Chen to still find a way to prepare a gift for her in such a hurry.

"While in the car?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes... Yueyue, happy birthday! Make a wish and blow out the candles!"

"Ok!"

Gu Yuexi's heart was bursting with joy, not for the gift Lin Chen gave her, but for Lin Chen's thoughtfulness.

He cares about me!

He likes me too!
Gu Yuexi clasped her hands together, made a sincere wish, and then blew out the candles.

Lin Chen handed the box to Gu Yuexi: "Take a look, do you like it?"

Gu Yuexi bit her lip and gently opened the box, inside which was a dazzling diamond necklace.

Gu Yuexi recognized it at a glance; it was a new Van Cleef & Arpels product released this year, priced at 880,000 yuan.

"Ah, brother, this gift is too precious!"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I see you like wearing off-the-shoulder or one-shoulder dresses. Your collarbones are beautiful, and your skin is very fair. This diamond necklace would look great on you... Do you like it?"

"I like it! I like it very much!"

Gu Yuexi's eyes were full of joy: "Brother, can you help me put this on?"

"it is good!"

Lin Chen stood up, went behind Gu Yuexi, and put the diamond necklace around her neck.

Under the lights, the diamonds sparkled, her skin was fair, her cheeks were rosy, and she was breathtakingly beautiful.

"Thank you, brother! This is the first gift you've ever given me. It's very meaningful, and I'll cherish it for the rest of my life."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it."

In a happy and sweet atmosphere, the two finished their birthday dinner. Downstairs, Lin Chen looked at Gu Yuexi, who was dressed in a formal gown, and smiled, "Wait for me a moment, I'll go get the car."

"it is good!"

Lin Chen drove to the parking lot and arrived at the hotel entrance, but his gaze darkened.

Beside Gu Yuexi, there was an elderly man with silver hair, staring at her with a half-smile.

Unaware of what was happening, Gu Yuexi was about to get into the car when the silver-haired old man suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm, smiling as he said, "Miss Gu, Mr. Lin, my young master invites you in."

Gu Yuexi was taken aback and turned around to look at him: "Who are you?"

Just as Lin Chen was about to push the door open and get down, the silver-haired old man smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, don't move. If you do, I'll slap her. Guess what will happen?"

Lin Chen stopped opening the door and asked in a calm tone, "Chu Tianyu?"

The silver-haired old man smiled: "Yes."

Lin Chen readily nodded: "Okay, how do we get there?"

The silver-haired old man opened the back door, pulled Gu Yuexi to sit in the back seat, and smiled, "Would it be alright if Mr. Lin were to be the driver this time?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "No problem, tell me, where do you want to go?"

The silver-haired old man gave an address, and Lin Chen followed the navigation, then started the car and glided into the traffic.

Lin Chen drove steadily while asking, "I've never seen you before. Are you a member of the Chu family?"

The silver-haired old man smiled and replied, "My surname is Chen, and my given name is Huai. I have been with the Chu family for over forty years. Now, I serve as your driver and protect your safety."

Lin Chen nodded knowingly: "Butler, an expert, right?"

Chen Huai smiled: "That's one way to understand it."

Lin Chen asked casually, "Chu Tianyu, it's not very friendly of you to invite us like this today. Are you planning to settle accounts with me?"

Chen Huai's smile was calm, as if it were etched on his face: "You have insulted the young master and the Chu family, so naturally it needs to be sorted out."

Lin Chen continued to ask questions like a curious child: "So how does Chu Tianyu plan to deal with me? Will he cripple my cultivation, or just kill me and make me disappear from the face of the earth?"

Chen Huai replied, "I don't know, but the destination isn't too far. You'll know the answer soon, so don't worry."

"Just be patient?"

Lin Chen glanced at the rearview mirror: "You sound like a pro, keep it up!"
