The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 199 What do you think of me?

"It's not pessimism. If pure love were as common as cabbage and radish, there wouldn't be so many novels and movies praising love, and everyone wouldn't yearn for it during their growth. It's precisely because it's rare that it's so longed for and anticipated."

Lin Chen spoke casually, but his words carried a profound sigh: "Most couples nowadays have a 'AA' marriage. They live together for the sake of each other. If things go smoothly, they might just grow old together. After being together for a long time, they become like family. But if they encounter any hardships or tribulations, then they'll just abandon each other when disaster strikes."

Chu Jiaxue blinked: "That's pretty realistic. What about you? What kind of person are you looking for?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "It's hard to say."

Chu Jiaxue smiled and said, "Tell me about it, I'm quite curious."

Lin Chen thought for a moment and said, "Actually, if you're going to insist on saying what the standard is, there isn't really any standard. If I really had to say, I'd like to find someone with whom I feel very comfortable and at ease."

Chu Jiaxue thought for a moment: "Do you mean personality?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "You could also think of it as a feeling. It's like making friends. When you meet someone, you feel a special connection with them. Even just sitting together in a daze feels comfortable. But if two people are both very reserved and uncomfortable, and can't stand each other, how can they live together?"

Chu Jiaxue blinked, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.

Previously, Chu Jiaxue was worried that she would implicate Lin Chen, so she refused to open her heart or express her feelings for him. However, things changed. Because of his background, Lin Chen wanted to cause trouble for the Chu family, and the two became partners, working together to deal with the Chu family. This caused a subtle change in Chu Jiaxue's thoughts.

So, are we on the same side now?

Can we stand together through thick and thin?
Chu Jiaxue couldn't fathom Lin Chen's thoughts at all, because from beginning to end, despite being so close to her, Lin Chen never showed any intention to cross the line or take things further, which even made Chu Jiaxue begin to doubt herself.

Am I not pretty enough?

Or is it because you usually act too aloof?
"Hmm... what about me?"

Chu Jiaxue mustered her courage and asked a question, then added superfluously, "I've never been in a relationship either. I just want to understand myself from a man's perspective, to see what kind of person I am in a man's eyes. We live together and sleep in the same room, so you know me the most. That's why I wanted to ask you."

Lin Chen smiled: "The truth?"

Chu Jiaxue felt a sudden surge of nervousness: "Tell the truth, there's no point in lying."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Aside from being a bit aloof, she's great. She's beautiful, capable, filial, has sound values, is strict with herself, and lenient with others..."

Lin Chen subconsciously recalled the scene where Gu Yuexi asked him to compare himself with his sister, and subconsciously compared the two of them again in his mind.

In terms of character and ability, Chu Jiaxue is obviously better than Gu Yuexi, but in terms of getting along, who is more comfortable to be with?
Gu Yuexi. Lin Chen's heart gave an unwavering answer. With Gu Yuexi, you don't need to think too much. She will naturally make you happy and satisfy your pride as a man, making you feel relaxed. At the same time, she is willing to go through life and death dangers with you and share life and death with you. She is the kind of person who would help you bury the body if you killed someone.

Thinking of Gu Yuexi, Lin Chen's gaze softened slightly, and his eyes flickered for a moment.

Chu Jiaxue, who was staring into Lin Chen's eyes, keenly sensed that Lin Chen was thinking about another woman.
Even his gaze softened, and a slight smile seemed to appear at the corners of his mouth...

Chu Jiaxue suddenly felt a little down.

Has your personality become a bit more aloof?
Although Lin Chen only mentioned it briefly and offered more praise, the fact that he said it showed that he cared about it as a man.

Chu Jiaxue asked casually, "Do you have a woman you like?"

Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly came back to his senses. He smiled and said, "I would say there is one. We have some mutual affection, but it's still early."

Chu Jiaxue was startled: "Is it someone you knew before, or someone you met in Pingjiang?"

Lin Chen replied, "We met recently."

Chu Jiaxue felt a pang of sadness in her heart: "That's good. Don't worry, when the time comes, we'll get the formalities done. It won't delay you."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "No rush."

Chu Jiaxue didn't dare look Lin Chen in the eye. She turned her head and saw a restaurant, so she quickly changed the subject: "How about this one?"

"to make!"

During the meal, the two did not discuss their relationship again, but instead talked about how to deal with the Chu family and exchanged their understanding of the Chu family.

"Let's go back to the hotel."

The two took the elevator down to the underground parking garage. After taking only a few steps, a panicked woman's voice rang out in the garage.

"Help! Is anyone there? Help!"

Lin Chen subconsciously quickened his pace, moved aside the car blocking his view, and looked ahead, his expression changing slightly.
