Jian Xing’er bought many monitors, alarms, and heat sensors.

These things were very useful.

As long as an assassin entered the villa, Jian Xing’er would be able to discover him immediately.

As long as they dared to come, Jian Xing’er would definitely kill these killers.

By the time Jian Xing’er finished installing all the equipment, the sky had already turned dark. Jian Xing’er wanted to return to her room to rest for a while.

However, as soon as she opened the door, she saw Shangguan Ding lying on her bed while reading a book leisurely.

Jian Xing’er said, “This is my bedroom.”

“Other than this bedroom, you can choose any other room!”

Shangguan Ding revealed a smile as he said playfully, “This bedroom is the most comfortable room in the entire house. This will be mine in the future, so you can’t come in. Of course, if you want to share a bed with me, I don’t mind…”

Jian Xing’er’s expression darkened. How could this man be so shameless?

Shangguan Ding didn’t treat himself as an outsider at all. He even snatched Jian Xing’er’s bedroom as soon as he entered!

Shangguan Ding treated this place as his own villa.

Jian Xing’er had no choice but to endure it in order to find that organization.

After Jian Xing’er took a deep breath, she turned to leave.

Shangguan Ding said, “Go out and close the door.”

Jian Xing’er ignored him and went straight to the guest room on the first floor.

They didn’t speak again for the entire night!

The next morning, Jian Xing’er was woken up by a sound.

When she came out of the room, she saw a large group of servants cleaning all the places in the villa.

The originally deserted villa instantly became lively.

Shangguan Ding sat on the sofa lazily while drinking fruit juice and reading a book.

At the sight of this, Jian Xing’er was furious.

Did Shangguan Ding really treat this place as his own?

When Shangguan Ding saw Jian Xing’er come out, he immediately said, “You’re a girl, so how can your life be so boring? There’s not a single servant in such a big villa. Even the garden has turned into weeds. Not only did I find these servants, but I also found a gardener to manage the garden. Isn’t life much better now? Doesn’t it feel more like home now?”

Before Jian Xing’er could speak, Shangguan Ding said smugly, “You don’t have to thank me.”

Jian Xing’er said nothing.

Shangguan Ding could do whatever he wanted, but Jian Xing’er wasn’t in the mood to follow along.

After she found out where the organization’s base was, she would chase Shangguan Ding away.

Seeing that Jian Xing’er was silent, Shangguan Ding also quietened down.

For the next few days, Jian Xing’er stayed in the villa and waited for the assassin to come.

However, to Jian Xing’er’s disappointment, there was no sign of anyone in the past two days.

But Jian Xing’er didn’t give up.

Jian Xing’er knew that the assassins from this organization would definitely come. She just had to wait.

On the third day, the charity banquet organized by the Zhang family began.

Jian Xing’er wanted to go.

When Jian Xing’er told Shangguan Ding that she was going to the charity banquet, Shangguan Ding agreed to go with her and even tidied up.

Everyone in the Demon Province knew that the Zhang family was holding a charity banquet.

Many families who wanted to take this opportunity to curry favor with the Zhang family came to Sea City.

Sea City suddenly became a hot spot in the Demon Province.

Shangguan Ding looked at Jian Xing’er in surprise and said, “You actually don’t have a car even though you live in such a villa? I’m starting to suspect that you’re not the owner of this place.”

Jian Xing’er said directly, “I’m willing to take the bus!”

With that, she walked towards the bus stop outside the neighborhood.

Shangguan Ding could only follow Jian Xing’er obediently.

Jian Xing’er actually had a car previously. Hou Junlai had given it to her on her birthday last year.

After the divorce, Jian Xing’er didn’t want anything that was from Hou Junlai.

After getting on the bus, Jian Xing’er saw that there was only one seat left.

Jian Xing’er sat down without hesitation.

Shangguan Ding looked at Jian Xing’er as he said unhappily, “You’re sitting all by yourself? You’re my bodyguard now. You’re in charge of protecting me!”

Jian Xing’er pretended not to hear him.

The bus went straight to the charity banquet. When they alighted, they arrived at Sea City Hotel.

Shangguan Ding was wearing a light blue suit. He was handsome and exuded the aura of a noble young master.

As soon as they got off the bus, Shangguan Ding attracted countless gazes.

Shangguan Ding was already used to it, so when facing everyone’s gazes, he was very calm.

Soon, Shangguan Ding became the center of attention.

Jian Xing’er was ordinary, in contrast to Shangguan Ding.

As the two of them walked side by side, everyone looked at Jian Xing’er jealously.

A chubby rich girl couldn’t help but scold, “What era is this? How can such a hunk date a plain Jane!”

The other rich girls echoed this sentiment.

They didn’t know that Jian Xing’er and Shangguan Ding had no relations at all. They were just strangers that had met by chance.
