The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2558 Does she like me?

Lin Chen was unaware of the high regard Fan Tianxing and Shangguan Wenyin held for him, and he was happily drifting along with the wind.

In a secluded valley, Lin Chen landed in front of a waterfall, summoned the Exquisite Pagoda, and released Shang Wenyan, who had been hiding inside for a long time.

Shang Wenyan looked around: "Where is this?"

Lin Chen took out the Hidden Divine Jade Stem and waved it at Shang Wenyan: "Got it!"

Shang Wenyan's eyes lit up immediately: "Hidden Divine White Jade Stem?"

Lin Chen nodded and smiled, "Not only did we obtain the Hidden God White Jade Stem, but also the Heavenly Secret Mystic God Water and a considerable number of pearls. This trip has been quite fruitful."

Shang Wenyan looked at Lin Chen with bright eyes, her tone full of sincere admiration: "You're really amazing!"

When Lin Chen met Shang Wenyan, Lin Chen had not yet reached the peak of the Great Luo Profound Immortal realm. In just a few years, Lin Chen directly entered the Great Luo Supreme Immortal realm in one go.

He clearly only has so little strength, yet he can still act arrogantly in front of many top big shots or powerful forces, reap rich rewards, repeatedly humiliate his opponents, and then escape unscathed.

Is this something an ordinary cultivator could do?

Lin Chen was slightly overwhelmed by Shang Wenyan's beautiful, expressive eyes, especially those filled with admiration.

This is like when you're in college and the most beautiful girl in the entire university, recognized by tens of thousands of students, is always by your side and looks at you with adoring eyes. How would you resist that?

Moreover, Shang Wenyan is more than just a school beauty; she is considered one of the three great goddesses by the male cultivators of Beihai. Her charm to men is no less than ten or a hundred times greater than that of a school beauty.
Even though Lin Chen's Dao heart was firm, he could not withstand those seemingly speaking eyes. He looked away, split the entire Hidden Divine White Jade Stem in two, and handed one half over.

“We’ll each take half and refine and absorb it. The special fluctuations of cultivating the Primordial Profound Water Technique will no longer be detected by others, and we won’t have to worry about the Guixu Sect tracking you. The world is vast, you can go anywhere, you are free.”

Shang Wenyan gently bit her lip, looked at the Hidden Divine White Jade Stem in front of her, and said softly, "You went through so much trouble to get it, and you just give it to me like this?"

Lin Chen laughed and said casually, "We're friends. Didn't I take your Primordial Profound Water Technique before? You were very generous with yours, weren't you? Besides, this was for two people. I had already planned to take yours."

Shang Wenyan glanced at Lin Chen, her expression subtle.

This one glance, and the beauty of spring is irresistible.

This man is so straightforward; from beginning to end, he didn't seem to have any feelings for me at all!
It wasn't that Shang Wenyan wanted men to do anything to her, but rather that countless men had coveted her since she was a child. If it weren't for her cultivation of the Primordial Profound Water Technique, she would probably have been taken as a Daoist partner long ago.

After cultivating the Primordial Profound Water Technique, she gained a transcendent status within the sect, and no one dared to covet her anymore. The sect protected her greatly, but looking back now, this protection wasn't genuinely for her sake, but rather because of the Guixu Sect's patriarch. She had been chosen by the Guixu Sect's patriarch!
Who would dare to touch or snatch a woman that the patriarch has set his sights on?
She had become accustomed to those burning, undisguised, and subtly greedy gazes. If someone did her such a big favor, she would probably expect some kind of reward in return.

Lin Chen, however, did not.

Lin Chen never made any demands, and he was always open and honest with me.

Oh, and Shangguan Wenyin is one of them.

No wonder these two people became such close friends, a true friendship between gentlemen.

Suddenly, Lin Chen's expression became somewhat unnatural. He quickly looked away and coughed lightly, saying, "The sooner this fluctuation dissipates, the better. Let's enter the Linglong Tower, absorb the energy first, and then we won't be trapped inside anymore..."

Shang Wenyan snapped out of her daze, smiled slightly, and her smile was as gentle as a spring breeze, making people feel comfortable.

Hey, it seems it's not that I'm unattractive; he's panicking too.

Shang Wenyan's mood suddenly brightened, and her voice softened as she said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Lin Chen didn't look at Shang Wenyan, and simply hummed in agreement: "Then come in."

Look?
In front of Lin Chen, Shang Wenyan always showed her true self. With those eyes and that voice, what man could resist?

Previously, Shang Wenyan concealed his true nature, maintaining a distance in both his attitude and speech. Although this was quite alluring, Lin Chen was able to suppress his instinctive impulses, staying within bounds and not crossing any lines. He avoided saying or doing anything ambiguous, maintaining a normal friendship.

Now that Shang Wenyan has lived on the island for several years, she is very familiar with him. She has voluntarily abandoned any boundaries, and her words and tone make people wonder.

Does she like me?

Otherwise, why would they look at me like that, and why would they speak to me in that tone?

Would this happen in a normal male-female relationship?
What about a sense of boundaries?

Lin Chen was only human, and naturally, he couldn't escape the common fate. Faced with Shang Wenyan's beautiful face and her tender yet adoring eyes, cracks immediately appeared in the wall he had forcibly built around himself...
