The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 27 We hit it off immediately!
"He's being so generous by even inviting me, so naturally he wants to take this opportunity to target me, to embarrass me, and to make me lose face. As my girlfriend, you'll definitely think I'm useless and weak, and you'll break up with me. Wouldn't that give him his chance?"

Lin Chen replied casually, completely ignoring Gu Yuexi's offer of a 'reward': "Just you wait and see, they've got a lot more tricks up their sleeves for me these next few days."

Looking at Lin Chen's calm expression, Gu Yuexi asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "What am I afraid of? I'm not your real boyfriend."

Gu Yuexi glared at her: "You're not allowed to abandon me and run away. If you run away, I don't know how I'll cope on my own."

Lin Chen chuckled casually, "Even if I'm going to run away, I'll definitely take you with me. I'll just glare at you and ask, 'I'm leaving, are you coming with me or not?' Then you'll put on a pitiful look and leave with me. Wouldn't that solve the problem?"

Gu Yuexi immediately relaxed and laughed, "Sure, no problem. Just act a little domineering and unreasonable, and I'll look all wronged and leave with you like a wronged little wife. Wu Jiajun will definitely be so angry he'll explode!"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I don't know if it will explode or not, but I bet that the moment we leave, he will complain to your parents about how incompetent I am, how I can't take a joke, how I was mean to you, how you were wronged, and how your dad already dislikes me, so he will have a legitimate reason to intervene and make me leave you."

Gu Yuexi laughed so hard her body shook, her chest heaving with each laugh: "It's such a waste that you're not a screenwriter!"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "It's not impossible, as long as someone is willing to pay."

"You're obsessed with money; everything you talk about is money!"

Gu Yuexi joked for a moment, then said seriously, "They're targeting you. Just don't engage in anything you're not confident in. I'll get you out of that situation."

"Row!"

Mingyue Mountain is located 200 kilometers north of Pingjiang City. It is an undeveloped, continuous mountain range with dense forests and overgrown weeds. A river runs through the mountain range.

When the car reached the foot of the mountain, Lin Chen stopped it and laughed, "There's no road ahead!"

"Lin Chen, you're amazing! You've left them far behind!"

Gu Yuexi got out of the car, took out two bottles of drinks from the trunk, handed one to Lin Chen, and said with admiration, "Your driving skills are good enough to be a race car driver."

Lin Chen took the drink, smiled, and didn't answer.

He discovered that although Gu Yuexi had some of the arrogance of a rich girl, she wasn't actually as difficult to get along with as he had imagined. She wasn't condescending or bossy, and pretending to be her boyfriend was more like being friends, which was quite pleasant.

Both were impersonations, but Gu Yuexi chose him as her fake boyfriend because she actively accepted it. In addition, she felt grateful to him for saving her grandfather and accepted him. On the other hand, Chu Jiaxue's choice of him was completely passive, because it was decided by Old Master Chu and she had no choice at all.

Although the two shared a room at night, Chu Jiaxue always wore long sleeves and trousers, covering herself up completely, for fear of being exposed. Moreover, Chu Jiaxue was a very alert sleeper; she would wake up at the slightest noise, which showed that she had never let her guard down.

Lin Chen and his companion rested for a while before Wu Jiajun's convoy arrived. Gu Yuexi said smugly, "You just arrived? We've been waiting for you for ages, we've even finished a bottle of water."

Wu Jiajun stared at Lin Chen with a stiff expression: "Your driving skills are pretty good. Were you a soldier in the army before?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "No, I've just dabbled in steering a few times in my spare time."

Wu Jiajun's expression darkened further.

Are you saying we're not even as good as amateurs?
"Wow, that's impressive, bro. Which unit are you in?"

Zheng Li walked over and stretched out his large, fan-like hand: "Zheng Li, I once served in the Sky Eagle Special Forces Brigade, but retired due to injury."

Lin Chen held out his hand: "It's a small unit, not many people, let's not talk about it."

As they clasped hands, Lin Chen felt a sudden tightening in his grip; Zheng Li's hand was like a vise.

Discontinued?
Lin Chen waved his hand and laughed, "Let go when that's enough. It's quite uncomfortable for two grown men to hold hands like that."

Zheng Li was surprised. He had already used 80% of his strength, yet the other party could still laugh.

I can't believe it!
Zheng Li tightened his grip as he laughed, "We're all veterans, we're so friendly at first sight, it's uncontrollable. We have to have a good drink today."

Lin Chen felt Zheng Li's grip tightening, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes: "That's true, we should indeed get intimate."

Zheng Li laughed loudly and arrogantly: "Absolutely! We... ah!"

Zheng Li tried his best, but it felt like he was holding a block of iron. No matter how hard he tried, it remained the same shape. It was as if he had grasped nothing at all.

Just as he was wondering what was going on, Lin Chen's hand suddenly seemed to turn into a pair of pliers, snapping shut on his four fingers.

It broke our hearts!

Zheng Li let out a scream, which immediately drew everyone's attention.

Lin Chen grasped Zheng Li's hand and shook it up and down with great enthusiasm: "What's that word? Oh, it's 'love at first sight,' that's exactly how I feel about Brother Zheng right now. We've been in the military, so we just feel close to each other, don't you think?"
