The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 30 You have princess syndrome, it needs to be cured.

"Acting my foot! My legs are really weak!"

Gu Yuexi blushed and explained indignantly, "Such a long, big snake, so colorful, it's obviously a venomous snake, who wouldn't be afraid?"

Lin Chen thought about it and realized it made sense. Okay, we can't judge others by our own courage.

"Let's wait a bit, there's no rush."

Gu Yuexi looked at the mountain peak right in front of her, stamped her foot to calm herself down, and said, "I'll grab your arm, let's go, we can rest up there."

"also!"

Lin Chen continued to lead the way, while Gu Yuexi grabbed Lin Chen's arm and lagged behind, following cautiously.

Upon reaching the hilltop, Lin Chen casually picked some broad leaves from the side and laid them on the grass, then smiled and said, "Nice view, have a seat."

Gu Yuexi sat down on the broad leaf, her legs together and slightly bent, her long, fair legs attracting attention.

"Thank you, you're very thoughtful."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "You've discovered another good point about me? Don't fall in love with me because of it."

Gu Yuexi scoffed, "Dream on!"

After a pause, Gu Yuexi suddenly asked, "By the way, have you met your fiancée?"

Lin Chen nodded: "I've met you."

Gu Yuexi immediately perked up: "How is it? Am I ugly?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "No, quite the opposite, very beautiful."

Gu Yuexi opened her eyes wide, looking incredulous: "Whether it's true or not, you don't need to be afraid of losing face by lying. I won't laugh at you."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I'm not lying to you, she's very pretty, and she looks quite like you."

Gu Yuexi asked curiously, "Like me? Pretty, and from a good family?"

Lin Chen was actually referring to appearance, but Gu Yuexi's interpretation seemed correct, so she nodded and said, "Yes."

Gu Yuexi pressed on with a gossipy look, "Didn't your fiancée look down on you?"

"You're disgusted."

Lin Chen answered frankly, "She couldn't say anything because of her grandfather's influence, but she told me privately that she wasn't interested in me." Gu Yuexi burst out laughing, then quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I really wasn't mocking you, I just think this seems pretty normal."

Lin Chen didn't feel offended and nodded: "Yes, I understand."

Gu Yuexi stared into Lin Chen's eyes, seemingly trying to see disappointment in them, but she found nothing; all she saw was composure and calmness.

"So what's your situation now?"

Lin Chen casually plucked a blade of grass, put it in his mouth, propped himself up on the grass, and looked up into the distance: "In front of her grandfather, we'll pretend to be husband and wife, but in private, we won't care about each other. Anyway, we've all agreed to pretend for three months, and after three months, we'll go our separate ways."

Gu Yuexi chuckled: "Pretending to be a married couple?"

Lin Chen naturally understood why Gu Yuexi was laughing, and glared at her: "Now you know why I don't want to pretend to be your boyfriend anymore, right?"

Gu Yuexi laughed so hard she almost fell onto the grass: "I understand, I understand. At home you have to pretend to be my husband, and when you go out you have to pretend to be my boyfriend. Two beautiful women, you can see them but you can't have them. Doesn't that make you feel really uncomfortable and frustrated?"

Lin Chen didn't bother to correct him: "You know it."

Gu Yuexi laughed and said, "I suddenly feel sorry for you. You're so unlucky."

Lin Chen's eyes widened: "You still dare to laugh at me? Believe me or not, I'll turn around and leave, and before I leave, I'll tell Wu Jiajun that you and I were just acting?"

"No, no, no!"

Gu Yuexi quickly tried to smooth things over: "Just kidding, don't flip the table. Besides, even though you're pretending to be my boyfriend, look how good I am to you, just like the real thing. I've never treated any guy like this before..."

Lin Chen casually said, "You were just acting, let's not talk about it. But speaking of which, you're not young anymore, why don't you find a proper boyfriend?"

Gu Yuexi pouted, plucked a blade of grass, and twirled it around her finger: "There's no such thing as a perfect match. Either they're after my figure and looks, or they're after my family's money. I don't want to date people like that."

Lin Chen scoffed at Gu Yuexi's statement: "You have princess syndrome, it needs to be cured! If you weren't rich and looked like an ugly monster, don't even mention Wu Jiajun would never pursue you, even if you paid me to pretend to be your boyfriend, I wouldn't do it!"

Gu Yuexi said angrily, "Can't there be pure love? Can't it just be liking me as a person?"

Lin Chen showed no mercy: "Pure? He doesn't love your looks, he doesn't love your money, so does he love your pampered life, or your arrogant princess personality?"

Gu Yuexi was taken aback by Lin Chen's words, and her face turned red with anger: "Am I that bad?"

Lin Chen had no psychological burden about being the bad guy and continued to hurl insults: "Think about it carefully. Putting aside your family background, your figure and appearance, do you have anything attractive about you? Are you gentle, capable, virtuous, or good at managing a household?"

Gu Yuexi grabbed Lin Chen's arm angrily, baring her beautiful, even teeth: "You're laughing at me, believe me or not, I'll bite you!"
