Chapter 46

“Then, you can explain to Granddad yourself.” As she uttered that sentence, she turned to leave through the door.

“Fine! I’ll go, alright!” Ling Chen was genuinely terrified of this lass.

“Good, you’re being obedient. Hehe.” Su Lin was gleeful that her ploy succeeded and turned around while giggling. The lass even purposefully puffed up her ample bosom, deliberately giving Ling Chen an eyeful, before confidently striding out the door.

Amitabha!

Ling Chen hurriedly chanted the Buddhist rites in his heart.

As the saying goes, if I don’t enter hell who will? For the sake of all the males in the world, he could only valiantly sacrifice himself.

After leaving the Nanrong Villa, Ling Chen sat in the driver seat of the Maserati and started the engine. Under Su Lin’s guidance, he manoeuvred onto the road outside.

“Miss Su, Chairwoman seems to be in a good mood today.”

When Nanrong Wanqing spoke to him, he had already sensed the change in the latter’s attitude, which was starkly different from a few days ago. Feeling curious, he decided to ask Su Lin about it.

“What has Wanqing’s mood got to do with you? You only need to ensure her safety, that’s all. As for her personal life, there’s no need for you to pry into it.”

Ling Chen shrugged his shoulders. What Su Lin was saying was not wrong, he had asked too much.

Shortly afterwards, the two arrived at a private club situated in the city centre.

This private club had a total of five floors and occupied thousands of square metres. Being able to hold such a large establishment in the bustling city centre proved that the boss had extremely deep roots.

“Ling Chen, do you want to enter with me?”

Su Lin opened her mouth to ask, a crafty glint flashing in her eyes.

“Sure, I’ll go in with you.”

He was clear as to what kind of behaviour could be expected from a private club. If a bewitching beauty like Su Lin entered, she would undoubtedly attract the attention of many predators stalking the joint. As a bodyguard under the employment of the Nanrong family, he was responsible for Su Lin’s safety as well.

“Great, then you better not regret it later.”

Su Lin laughed secretly to herself, before briskly walking in.

The private club only granted access to members and there was a need to display the membership card before a guest was allowed to be brought in. However, Su Lin seemed to be a frequent customer of this joint. Seeing her approaching, the doorman hurriedly pulled open the door, his face full of respect. “It’s nice to see you, Miss Su.”

Su Lin nodded her head before directly walking in.

Ling Chen was planning on following right behind her, but he was stopped by the doorman.

“Kind Sir, this is the main door. Please enter from the side where the restroom is located.”

“I’m with her.” Ling Chen pointed to Su Lin.

“I know, but…”

“Let him enter.”

Su Lin turned her head and uttered that sentence.

Seeming to be torn, he hesitatingly asked, “Miss Su, this… this isn’t too good, right?”

“What’s not good about it? I’ll just talk to your boss about it later, relax.”

“Alright, then.”

After Su Lin had already told him to do so, the doorman did not dare to argue back any further and hurriedly allowed Ling Chen to enter.

Entering the lobby of the club the interior was magnificent. Two crystal chandeliers adorned the ceiling and the floor was lushly carpeted. The marble wall was clean and translucent, like the surface of a polished mirror. There was also a small fountain in the centre of the lobby, which was surrounded by pebbles. At first glance, the whole place exuded luxury.

There was also a row of sofas beside the wall, several beautifully dolled-up women were sitting over there. They looked to be around 30 or 40 years old, and their entire bodies were clad in clothing from famous brands. Any of the bags they were carrying could pay Ling Chen’s salary for several months.

The moment Ling Chen appeared in their line of vision, the few women suddenly quietened down. Every one of them assessing him with a strange glint in their eyes. Very quickly, a fiery blaze was revealed in their eyes, and they started to chat animatedly, repeatedly pointing towards Ling Chen.

Sensing their attention, Ling Chen felt slightly uncomfortable.

If they were young chicks, he could still accept it, but these women were all old enough to be aunties. Moreover, the looks that these women were directing him seemed like… how starving wolves looked at fresh, tender meat, practically salivating.

Coughing lightly, he hastened his footsteps, wanting to catch up with Su Lin.

However, at that moment, a forty-plus woman who wore heavy make-up suddenly stood up and walked towards him, blocking his way.

“This little brother, what’s your relationship with Miss Su?”

“How does that concern you?”

The lady smiled unconcernedly. “Little brother, are you for real or just feigning ignorance, actually coming to a place like this. Come, instead of going inside, why not have a nice chat with us sisters?” As she spoke, she stretched out her hand, seeming as though she wanted to grab onto Ling Chen’s hand.

Ling Chen flinched and hurriedly retreated a few steps, a look of astonishment written all over his face.

Sister?

Your age is already enough to be my mom!

Especially the woman in front of him with the heavy make-up. Who knew how many layers she had on her face? She looked like a corpse who had been touched up at a morgue!

Ling Chen gave a forced laughter. “I’m sorry, but I have something on.”

“Little brother, why are you in such a rush? Come, let me hand you my name card, next time if you are cash-strapped, you can come to find me… Oi, Oi!”

Ling Chen was deathly afraid of the woman pestering him and moving swiftly, he dashed into the elevator. He jabbed at the ‘close door’ button rapidly.

Fuck, he was actually being treated as a gigolo!

But then again, it was hard to blame her. Even though he entered with Su Lin, the clothes on him were all cheap products that could be bought from roadside stalls. Anyone could discern the evident disparity between his status and Su Lin’s.

Not good!

At that moment, he came to the realisation that he had lost track of Su Lin and had no idea which floor the lass went to.

He scanned the buttons on the elevator and saw that there was only one option, which was straight to the fifth floor. Without overthinking it, he unhesitatingly pressed the button leading to the fifth floor.

Very quickly, the elevator ascended upwards

Ding!

With the crisp sound of the bell tingling, the elevator arrived at the destination.

Walking out of the elevator, Ling Chen looked at both ends of the corridor. However, he could not see a single person, the whole place was almost eerily silent.

“I couldn’t have gone to the wrong place, right?”

He muttered to himself. But, the elevator only had one button, so he definitely was not mistaken.

The fifth floor only had one walkway, and guest rooms were lining up the walls of the corridor. However, all of them were firmly shut. Ling Chen walked to the end of the walkway, before finally seeing a room that was half-opened.

He knocked on the door, before pushing it open, opening his mouth to say, “I’m sorry, but I would like to ask…”

Before he could complete his sentence, he suddenly froze, his entire body turning rigid, as though someone had immobilised him. His mouth gaped and closed repeatedly, and he was at a loss for words.

In the middle of the room, a curvaceous woman was standing by the bed with her back facing him. Her hair was tied up, and all the garments on her body had been stripped away, the only piece of clothing she was wearing was a thin piece of pink underwear. She was not even wearing a bra.

He could not see the woman’s face. However, judging from her gently arching back and slender, long legs, as well as curves that were filled out in all the right places and smooth, creamy skin, Ling Chen had a strong premonition that the woman was a beauty and a pinnacle one at that!

At that moment, hearing a sudden voice ringing out from behind her, the woman jumped with fright, instantly shielding her chest with her hand, before turning to look behind.

When the two met face-to-face, Ling Chen could finally distinguish the woman’s features.

Beauty.

She indeed was a top-tier beauty.

She had delicate features and gently rounded eyebrows resembling the moon, thin and shallow, capable of tugging at people’s heartstrings. A pair of bright eyes, glowing like glass that gave off the feeling of melancholy, yet mixed with a hint of laziness, intoxicating anyone who looked into them. She did not need any words, just her eyes alone could express all the subtle changes in her mood.

She panicked briefly before her eyes gradually chilled after a moment of shame and anger.

Seeing Ling Chen standing still in a daze, she gritted her teeth and spat out, “Have you seen enough?”
