"Haha, look at that kid. He went to get close to him."
"He left his cell phone number for someone to tear up in person."
"Bang! Bang!" A few people who were talking to each other laughed and said.
In Ye Chen's eyes, this was not an impolite action, it was not like he had run into a wall. As a bodyguard who came from a special forces background, if he saw that his phone number was unmemorable, then he really would not embarrass the special forces. He might as well quickly clean up and go home to wash up.
Ye Chen smiled and nodded towards the two of them, then turned to leave, returning back to his previous seat and sitting together with the bodyguards.
"Haha, kid, I didn't accept your favor, right?"
Ye Chen scratched his head in embarrassment.
"It's good that he's used to it. That's how those people are. I've seen them before. They have faces every day as if they owed him money."
Ye Chen laughed and did not say a word.
These bodyguards, compared to Wang Cai's bodyguards, were much weaker. Although Ye Chen could see that there were a few powerful people amongst them, but they were still too inexperienced, and most of them still had a lot of charisma on them, not just their strength, but even their awareness of a bodyguard's abilities were far behind. It had to be known that a truly strong bodyguard had to put everything that could happen into their heads, so that they could decide what to do.
Although they did not have the consciousness of a bodyguard, Ye Chen did not dislike the market qi on them. Ever since he returned to the city, Ye Chen's way of thinking had changed a lot, the market represented ease and in this charming city, Ye Chen did not need to concentrate so much, it was so stressful and tiring.
Not long after, Ye Chen wanted to smoke a cigarette at the smoking area. As he smoked, he saw Chu Ling'er through the glass.
was currently conversing with a man, talking and laughing, but when Ye Chen looked carefully, his smile looked extremely obvious. This was because Ye Chen had seen Chu Ling'er's happy appearance before, and it was completely different from now. Ye Chen had smoked a cigarette and walked out of the smoking room, and coincidentally met Chu Ling'er's gaze.
Ye Chen was startled, but he still walked towards Chu Ling'er. He had told him before that he would help her get out of this predicament when it came to it.
Ye Chen walked in front of Chu Ling'er, went close to Chu Ling'er's ear, and whispered some words to him. However, he was not trying to find an excuse for Chu Ling'er to leave.
"He looks quite handsome." Ye Chen whispered into Chu Ling'er's ear. Adding on the music from the party, the man beside Chu Ling'er did not hear what Ye Chen said at all. Ye Chen gave her a meaningful glance, telling her to display it on her own.
Chu Ling'er rolled his eyes at Ye Chen in dissatisfaction. Originally, Ye Chen could just casually find a connection to bring him away, but now he even had to find an excuse.
"Erm, Young Master Zhang, I have an important call that I need to get back to. Sorry, I will take my leave now." After he finished speaking, Chu Ling'er smiled apologetically at Master Zhang, then walked straight out of the party hall. Ye Chen followed behind Chu Ling'er and walked out.
When Ye Chen walked to the man's side, she deliberately sized him up. He looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old and was wearing a casual suit.
Ye Chen walked past him, but this Young Master Zhang did not even bother to look at Ye Chen, but kept staring at Chu Ling'er instead. That perverted look in his eyes allowed Ye Chen to instantly see that Young Master Zhang had good intentions towards Chu Ling'er, and actually looked at Chu Ling'er with such a gaze, without even concealing it or concealing anything, which was even more so the fact that Young Master Zhang's status was high. If it was anyone else, Chu Ling'er would have slapped him twice.
Although Chu Ling'er was the CEO of Wan Feng Group, he was not the CEO of the main company, so in short, he was just working for the main company. However, in terms of Bright Light City, Chu Ling'er's status was already rather high, but compared to the real boss, he was still lacking a lot.
had seen this too many times, when he was doing some special missions, he had been ordered to protect some special personnel, and some top stars, no matter how outstanding those female celebrities were, in the eyes of the director, they were nothing more than playthings, and it was clear that this Young Master Zhang had the same thoughts towards Chu Ling'er.
If it was anyone else, Ye Chen would probably pretend that he did not see such a thing, other than the female friends that he knew, and furthermore, Chu Ling'er had already told him before he came that he wanted to protect her, so Ye Chen could not ignore him. But now that Young Master Zhang did not do anything, Ye Chen could only wait for an opportunity to take care of him.
After Ye Chen walked out with Chu Ling'er, he gave Ye Chen a fierce kick on his calf, and then wrapped around Ye Chen's arm.
"Come back with me later." and even warned Ye Chen with a warning look, telling him to cooperate.
This kick was extremely easy for Ye Chen to understand. Chu Ling'er must have been angry that Ye Chen did not leave in the first place, and even said those words in his ear, that was why he kicked, but it was not considered painful. After all, Chu Ling'er still needed him for the time being.
With regards to Chu Ling'er asking him to accompany Ye Chen in, this Ye Chen was also very understandable. Most likely, it was because that Young Master Zhang from earlier was really annoying, and he was even pestering Chu Ling'er, so it was obvious that Chu Ling'er wanted to take him in as a shield. Oh god, what was there to be afraid of?
At a time like this, Ye Chen would definitely not be able to escape. Thinking about that scheming Young Master Zhang, he could not be at ease with Chu Ling'er's safety, so he braced himself and followed Chu Ling'er into the party hall.
However, these people were all famous figures at the party, so they naturally knew Chu Ling'er. If Ye Chen pretended to be Chu Ling'er's boyfriend at this time, these people would definitely believe him.
Ye Chen said worriedly: "I'm just a small fry. If I really am your boyfriend, wouldn't it be embarrassing for you to let your friends think I'm your boyfriend? I think you should change people."
Chu Ling'er pinched Ye Chen's arm and said: "It's alright, we have to face this matter eventually. If we do it now, my grandfather, father and mother will not rack their brains to make our relationship public, furthermore, I am only a small character, no one will care about me, so naturally no one will look down on you."
Regarding the attitude of Chu Ling'er in speaking these words, Ye Chen still felt that Chu Ling'er was very sincere, but after thinking about it for a bit, since such a big party were just some important figures, compared to the reporters, it was natural for Ye Chen to see a few reporters. Right now, their relationship with Chu Ling'er was public, and tomorrow, it would not even be on the headlines, the content being that President Chu Ling'er was not even his boyfriend.
Since Chu Ling'er insisted to make it public, Ye Chen had no other choice, so he smiled bitterly: "Alright, then we will face what happens together."
As Ye Chen and Chu Ling'er were talking, they had already walked in front of Young Master Zhang. When that guy saw Chu Ling'er holding onto a man, he frowned.
"This is …" Master Zhang asked in a long voice.
"I'm sorry, Young Master Zhang. This is my boyfriend." Chu Ling'er said as he raised his head and looked at Ye Chen.
"Ye Chen, this is Young Master Zhang, Zhang Haoran, and this is my boyfriend, Ye Chen." Chu Ling'er introduced the two of them with a smile.
Ye Chen politely nodded his head, while Zhang Haoran's gaze at Ye Chen was not as friendly as before, and frowned as he looked at Ye Chen.
Originally, Zhang Haoran thought that taking down Chu Ling'er tonight was already a certain thing, but he never thought that killing someone halfway would cause him to become so angry that it would directly destroy Zhang Haoran's plan. His face immediately darkened.
"CEO Chu, are you joking? She would casually pull a man and say that he was your boyfriend, but why hadn't she heard you mention him before? And from... This man doesn't look like the same person as you at all. "
Chu Ling'er replied indifferently: "This is really my boyfriend. If Master Zhang doesn't believe me, you can ask my father." As he said that, Chu Ling'er rested his head on Ye Chen's shoulder, the two of them seemed to be extremely close.
Zhang Haoran's face turned even uglier, and he let out a cold voice.
"Hehe, I never thought that CEO Chu would have such taste, it's really hard for people to understand."
Just as Chu Ling'er was about to open his mouth to speak, Ye Chen took the initiative to pat Chu Ling'er's head who was leaning on his shoulder.
"Young Master Zhang, I know that in terms of position and identity, I definitely cannot compare to you, but in matters of love, this is something that I am willing to do. If you don't force it, then these things cannot be exchanged.
Zhang Haoran coldly glanced at Ye Chen, then laughed sarcastically before turning around and entering the other side of the party's hall. However, when Ye Chen saw Zhang Haoran's unrelenting gaze, he also became wary of him.
After Zhang Haoran left, Chu Ling'er moved his head away and sighed deeply.
"I really have no other way, so …" Chu Ling'er looked at Ye Chen and said. She knew that it did not matter if she and Ye Chen pretended to be lovers in front of her parents, but if they were to reveal their identities in front of Zhang Haoran, with Zhao Haoran's character, it would definitely bring Ye Chen some trouble.
Chu Ling'er had not finished speaking when Ye Chen smiled at him again. He knew what Chu Ling'er was worried about.
"It's alright, I won't be troubled by such a small matter."
"Ai, thank you. Let's go in." With that, Chu Ling'er brought Ye Chen to the center of the party hall.
Chu Ling'er reminded Ye Chen as they walked.
"There's no need to talk to others when we enter later. Let's just find a place to sit and rest. There will be an important person appearing tonight."
"Haha, I know. Don't worry, I won't fill in any trouble for you."
It was true, ever since Chu Ling'er and Ye Chen had pretended to be boyfriend, Chu Ling'er had always asked Ye Chen for help. Ye Chen did not have to ask for any help, if there was anything he needed to say, it would just be borrowing money. In Chu Ling'er's eyes, money was not even worth mentioning, so it was not really anything.
