Chapter 285 - Her Bodyguard

Li Qin Yao looked out the window at the night view as the car passed by the tall buildings on the street. A smile curved on her lips as Li Qin Yao thought of how she had moved to Y City to follow her husband. 

"Madam, we have arrived."

Li Qin Yao snapped out of her thoughts and turned to the direction of that voice. Her eyes met with the bespectacled man's gaze through the mirror briefly. Then, she looked out the window again to see that they have arrived at a residential area. 

Soon, the bespectacled man appeared by her side to open the door for her. "Thank you, Mister Shen."

The bespectacled man nodded. He shut the door and walked with Li Qin Yao until they reached a basketball court.

Li Qin Yao had heard the sound of the ball thumping on the court from the moment she got off the car. Now that the people on the court were visible to her eyes, Li Qin Yao felt a surge of excitement. She walked over to the court silently and stood there quietly as she watched her husband and a few of his close friends playing a three-on-three match.

A smile curled on her lips as she watched how the boys were arguing over the ball. 

Suddenly, her heart jumped with excitement when she watched Zhang Yu Han snatched the ball from Wei Jun Hao. Li Qin Yao clutched her hand tightly as she watched him dribbled forward and jumped up high to slam the ball into the hoop.

Li Qin Yao thought that his husband was very attractive whenever he was playing basketball. She started to clap her hands excitedly and suddenly, the boys turned to her direction. 

Zhang Yu Han had an astonished expression on his face when he saw his wife at the side. He left his friends in the middle of the court and jogged towards his wife. "I thought you were going straight home after shopping with Yu Ying?"

"I heard from Yu Ying that you and the boys will be here and thought that I haven't seen you play basketball for a while," Li Qin Yao said. "Zhang Yu Han, you look great just now. Very handsome."

Hearing his wife's praise, Zhang Yu Han had a proud smile on his face. "Then, do you want to stay around longer to watch us play for a while?"

"Un," Li Qin Yao nodded excitedly. "I'll stay around and go back with you later. Anyway, it doesn't feel too good to stay home alone when you were not around."

Zhang Yu Han chuckled before he turned to the bespectacled man who stood beside his wife. "Mister Shen, thank you. You can go back now. I'll take it from here."

The bespectacled man called Mister Shen nodded once at Zhang Yu Han before he turned around and leave. 

"It felt weird to have someone following me around the whole day," Li Qin Yao said as Zhang Yu Han led her to the bench where he had put his water flask and dry towel. 

Earlier that week, Zhang Yu Han had told her that he wanted to hire a bodyguard to protect her. Initially, Li Qin Yao wanted to reject his suggestion as she thought that it was unnecessary. However, her grandfather-in-law had convinced her to go with it. 

Anyway, it wouldn't hurt for her to be cautious, at least until Zhao Wei officially checked in into prison.

That was how the quiet Mister Shen has been following her around and acted as her bodyguard and driver. According to Zhang Yu Han, Mister Shen was someone that his Granduncle Qi had to choose. Although he might be timid, his fighting skill was top notch. 

"Bear with it," Zhang Yu Han reached his hand to touch her hair but stopped himself when he realized that his hand was too sweaty. Zhang Yu Han clenched his hand into a fist and sighed. "Just until Zhao Wei's trial is over, alright? Or else, I wouldn't be at ease."

"Alright. I know." Li Qin Yao nodded. The boys lifted their hands and waved to greet her from a distance, and Li Qin Yao waved back. "You should go and continue," she said to her husband. "I'll sit here and wait for you, alright?"

Zhang Yu Han turned around and paused. "Wife, will there be a reward if I win?"

Li Qin Yao chuckled. "What are you saying? I heard from the boys previously that you had never let them win a game. Isn't that a little unfair to ask a reward from me?"

Zhang Yu Han narrowed his eyes as he made a plan to torture the boys in the next round. 

"If you let me see you score another slam dunk after this, I'll show you the pictures that Yu Ying took for me earlier," Li Qin Yao said when she noticed the unhappy look on her husband's face. 

Suddenly, his face brightened. At the thought that he was about to see his wife in wedding dresses, Zhang Yu Han was suddenly thrilled. He leaned forward to peck at her lips and said, "For good luck." Then, he jogged towards the center of the court again and resumed their games.

…

"Which one of those do you like best?"

He lifted his head to look at his wife and smiled. "Every one of them looked great on you. I couldn't choose."

Li Qin Yao giggled. She sat down beside him and peered at the screen. "And you ask me why I did not want you to come along with me to shop around for a dress."

"You look good in anything you wear, how can I choose just one?" Zhang Yu Han pondered for a while and continued, "Or perhaps we can just get every dress that you like. You can wear every one of them."

"Don't be silly. What am I going to do with that much dress? It's not like I'm walking for a fashion show."

Zhang Yu Han bopped at her nose and sighed. "I still wish to accompany you to choose a dress."

Li Qin Yao wrinkled her nose at his. "Don't look too sad. I'll let you accompany me to choose the dress once I have narrow down to a few dresses that I really liked, alright?"
