9 I'm not living here?

Xiao Yanyan was frightened when she heard Theo's cold voice, even Shun Shaoran was startled. Shun Sharon pressed the steering wheel hard, he didn't dare look at Theo's face.

"Miss... Mr. Xiao is confidence on Mr. Theo's abilities... Besides, the contract is already signed..." Shun Shaoran tried to convince Yanyan: nothing more could be done. The president has made a decision.

"Huh?" Yanyan was in shock, her eyes wide open. She couldn't believe what her father was thinking. She wouldn't even want it as a shield, and now it's supposed to be a companion? What a joke!

Yanyan had thought to pass off the shield as her boyfriend if the looks were good enough. It was a safe method to block people like Wu Taiwen.

But she didn't want Theo anymore! She hadn't seen his face yet, but she didn't want him anymore!

Theo didn't give Xiao Yanyan time to keep thinking.

"I repeat, did you say that I am useless?"

Xiao Yanyan couldn't stand him anymore, what an arrogant boy!

"Come on. You, go take care of that guy from before, the one who won't stop following me. Do it right, and I'll give you a pass." She tried to see if she could get rid of this shield. If he couldn't do his job, she could use this to get his father to fire him.

"That guy?" Theo asked as he glanced sidelong at Wu Taiwen.

"Yes, get rid of him." Xiao Yanyan thought that he was scared.

"Okay." Theo nodded.

The car was silent. There was no movement for about a minute.

"Hey! Weren't you going to take care of him?" Xiao Yanyan asked when she saw that Theo wasn't moving.

"Miss, you want me to kill someone in daylight? Not only that, that boy seems to come from an influential family." Theo replied, lazily.

"Kill! What are you saying? All you have to do is teach him a lesson." Yanyan was startled. This guy talked so easily about killing.

"So that's how it is." Theo shrugged as he got out of the car. Both Wang Minxue and Xiao Yanyan were surprised to see how tall this boy was. He seemed to be over six feet tall. You have to know that the average height of a 17-year-old male in China is about 171 centimeters.

Wang Minxue was sitting in her car, but was struck by the fact that Xiao Yanyan had not yet left. She had thought of calling her friend to find out what was going on when she saw Theo get out of the car. She was stunned, what was a stranger doing in Yanyan's car?

She didn't hesitate to pick up her cell phone to call Xiao Yanyan.

"Yanyan? It's me, Xue. Who is that boy?"

"That Xiao Yanyan, is always rejecting me. Any other girl would have jumped into my bed a long time ago!" Wu Taiwen was muttering to his pair of lackeys.

"Brother Wen, this Xiao Yanyan is not a simple girl, she is the daughter of the president of Shanshui Industries! She's supposed to be difficult, a challenge!" said one of his lackeys, Zhang Ye.

"Tch, do you think I need you to tell me?" Wu Taiwen took a superior position, hands-on-hips, "I have to persevere..." Wu Taiwen stopped when he saw a tall young European man dressed in a suit, surprised at how fast he was moving.

Theo wasted no time in performing the task, he took off one of his gloves before taking Wu Taiwen by the neck and lifting him off the ground about twenty centimeters. Now, Wu Taiwan was at the same height as Theo. Wu Taiwen was slightly below the average of a Chinese teenager, measuring about 168 centimeters. Now you could see the difference between his 168 centimeters and Theo's 185 centimeters.

"Leave Brother Wen!" shouted Zhang Ye and the other lackey.

"Let... me... down... I... can´t... breath..." Wu Taiwan tried to talk with the little air left in his lungs.

Just when Theo felt that Wu Taiwan was going to lose consciousness, he dropped him on the floor. After dropping him, Theo turned around to get back in the car.

"Wait!" Wu Taiwan called him.

Theo turned his head, looking at the boy on the floor over his shoulder.

"Who sent you?" Wu Taiwan asked. He was still trying to recover from Theo's attack, he had been too brutal. Wu Taiwan was furious, but he knew he couldn't mess with Theo, so he decided to ask him who his boss was.

"Someone you can't afford to offend," Theo replied coldly. The lady had not given him permission to say her name, and Theo assumed that she did not want her to be known as the one who had given the orders.

"Shit!" Wu Taiwan hit the ground. "Ow! Why is the floor so hard?"

"Yanyan, that boy is a bit scary. He almost killed Wu Taiwen." Wang Minxue's eyes were wide open, having witnessed the brutal scene. She had said it was scary, but in her eyes was hidden a pinch of excitement. Obviously, Yanyan couldn't see this, or she'd go crazy.

"He's crazy, rather." Theo had managed to impress her, but Yanyan had already decided to fire him. She wouldn't give him the pass no matter what he did.

"Yanyan, why don't you accept it," suggested Minxue.

Xiao Yanyan had already explained the whole thing to Xue, so she knew more or less what was going on. After all, the idea of having a bodyguard had been hers.

"Xue, whose side are you on?" Yanyan open her eyes in disbelief, it seemed like she had discovered a big secret. "You haven't fallen in love with him, have you?"

"No!" She denied instantly. "You're the one in love!"

"I haven't even seen his face. Besides, if you're not in love with him, why are you trying to make him stay?" Yanyan was baffled by what Minxue was saying. Was she crazy, too?

"Think about it. That Wu Taiwen treats the school as his domain, but now a guy comes from nowhere and almost kills him. Things would be exciting!" Minxue said mischievously. "That Wu Taiwen can't follow you with that guy here. And in case you didn't know, Theo is very handsome. I wouldn't mind if he were my boyfriend."

Yanyan opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. Theo had gotten to the car at the time. He turned to look at Yanyan after sitting in the seat. "Satisfied?"

Yanyan was stunned to look at Theo's face. The young woman's face blushed, and she lowered her head.

«So handsome,» thought the girl.

Without waiting for Xiao Yanyan's answer, Theo turned around again.

"Hmm... I think you have a point, Minxue. I'll let him stay for now."

Yanyan hung up the phone without waiting for Wang Minxue to answer. The latter gave a funny smile ever since.

"Uncle Fu, you can take me to my villa now." Minxue told the driver of the car.

"Uncle Fu didn't dare to be disrespectful towards this little demon.

Yanyan was not happy. She expected some form of gratitude, but Theo hadn't even turned around to hear it.

"Why don't you thank me?" She couldn't take it anymore.

"Why should I?" Theo didn't understand this girl's way of thinking. He had accomplished his task successfully, why should he thank her?

"You...!"

How foolish a boy could be! Didn't he know she was his boss? Didn't he know how bad his attitude was?

The frustration Xiao Yanyan felt was indescribable as the words Theo had said were reproduced in her mind - this person was too dumb to be her bodyguard!

Soon, the car stopped in front of a village.

"What are you doing?" asked Xiao Yanyan when she saw that Theo was coming down next to her. She had accepted this boy because of what Minxue had said, but what was he doing getting off at her villa?

"I'm not living here?" Confused, Theo asked Shun Shaoran.

"Only my father and Uncle Shun have entered my village before," Yanyan roared, one hand on her hip as she pointed at Theo with the other. "Besides, where's your luggage?"

"Miss, Mr. Xiao said you can treat Theo like a brother... he will live with you from today..." Shun Shaoran spoke carefully, afraid to attract the wrath of Xiao Yanyan. He knew this lady too well.

"Him?! My brother?! You're kidding me!! Get out of here! Get out!"

"I'm afraid that's not my decision. It's the president's orders." Shun Shaoran was just a driver, after all, it wasn't his place to deal with the president's daughter.

"Whatever it is, I'll call Dad right now!" Yanyan brought out the new Apple iPhone 11 Pro that Uncle Shun had gotten by queuing for hours on the day of his schedule.

Theo looked at the phone in his hand by far. He mistrusted these phones because of how easy they were to pirate, or how easy it was for him to pirate them. If it weren't for Prometheus turning into a mobile phone, he would still lack one.
