"How about... Jump out the window! "

Xia Xingyu deliberately lowered his voice, afraid that Xiahou Yong outside the door would hear him.

Shen Peian didn't follow Xia Xingyu's instructions. Instead, he quickly got up and hid behind the curtain.

Phew... He didn't seem to be able to tell either.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Xia Xingyu tried her best to maintain a calm tone as she blocked the entrance, not intending to let Xiahou Yong in.

"I'll ask Shen Peian to go and receive the Imperial Authority when they return tonight."

He came to see Shen Peian? Why did he come to his room to look for it?

Xia Xingyue laughed lightly and pointed to the opposite room.

"Dad, are you confused? He lives there! "

Xiahou Yong subconsciously looked back and sneered a moment later.

"He's not in his room. I thought he was with you!"

Hearing this, Xia Xingyu was momentarily at a loss for words, but she quickly reacted and smiled.

"Dad, how could he be with me? He's just a bodyguard!"

She meant that Shen Peian was not worthy of her identity, but she hoped that her words would mislead Xiahou Yong.

"Some people... Just play around. You are the sole successor of the Imperial Group, so you have to always pay attention to your own words and actions! "

As Xiahou Yong said this, he took a quick look at Xia Xingyu's room and was sure that Shen Peian was inside.

"Right."

Xia Xingyu lightly responded, and then realized that her response seemed to be not sincere enough, so she added another sentence.

"I will live up to my father's expectations."

Xiahou Yong looked at her meaningfully, then gave a cold snort before speaking again.

"Alright, go to sleep."

His tone was somewhat cold. With these words, he descended the stairs.

Why would Fu Guoqian need someone to pick him up when he returned?

Xiahou Yong came up to test the waters and confirmed the relationship between Shen Peian and Xia Xingyu.

"He really does care about me!"

Shen Peian stepped out from behind the curtain and said these words in a cold tone.

There were many dangers lurking in the Xia Residence today.

The corner of Xia Xingyu's mouth twitched as he uneasily sat on the bed.

"You're still not leaving? I'm going to sleep. "

Shen Pei An looked at her deeply, but still had no intention of leaving.

"Oh, you want to kick me out just because I'm a bodyguard?"

As he spoke, Shen Peian stooped to cast a shadow over Xia Xingyu.

"Xia Xingyu, so you dislike my profession so much? "Hrm?"

As he spoke, he approached Xia Xingyu.

Just as she was about to touch her lips, Xia Xingyu hurriedly supported her body, preventing the man from getting close.

"You're thinking too much. Just now, I was just trying to prevent my father from misunderstanding …"

"Misunderstanding what?"

Shen Peian raised his eyebrows as he sized up the situation. His tone was somewhat unfriendly, causing Xia Xingyu's heart to be in a state of panic.

The woman calmed herself down, then met Shen Peian's gaze. Her red lips slightly parted as she spoke slowly.

"It's a misunderstanding that you're trying to get close to me, it's a misunderstanding that you're a spy."

Heh!

Shen Peian immediately sneered.

"I did want to get close to you, but only because of your beauty!"

"…"

The atmosphere instantly turned awkward. Shen Peian's words were too straightforward.

Xia Xingyu pondered for a while, but couldn't think of any words to refute. Whenever she faced Shen Peian, she always felt that her IQ was insufficient.

This man's aura was truly too powerful. He was always pressuring her to the point that she couldn't breathe. She really couldn't think too much about dealing with him.

"Get out!"

Xia Xingyu shook his head and threw out those strange thoughts.

Then she stretched out her hand and pushed Shen Peian up. She opened the door and was about to push him out.

However, he didn't expect Xiahou Yong to be standing at the door.

"Dad …"

"Stellar elm! "Come with me!"

Xiahou Yong let out a low growl, so loud that it seemed as if it could shatter a person's eardrums.

Shen Peian grabbed Xia Xingyu's arm and pulled her behind him.

"Chairman Xia, if you need anything, you can come at me!"

Shen Pei An's tone was cold as he confronted Xia Hou Yong.

His aura was much stronger than Xiahou Yong's. The two of them stood facing each other as if they were already engaged in a battle.

Xia Xingyu really wanted to see the two fight.

"You are not qualified."

Xiahou Yong said as he prepared to pull Xia Xingyu away, but before he could even get close to the woman, Shen Peian had already tightly gripped his hand.

With a cold smile, Shen Peian mocked.

"How can my woman not have the qualifications to be protected? Chairman Xia, on the other hand, can't wait to target a small bodyguard. "

Xiahou Yong had the skill, but he couldn't break free from Shen Peian's grasp. This was simply too incredible.

"Is this how you treat your boss, Shen Peian?"

Xiahou Yong was furious. He stared at the man, trying to figure out how to get rid of this Shen Peian.

"Whether you're my boss or not depends on my mood."

This kind of intense pain was not something an ordinary person could bear. However, Xiahou Yong acted as if nothing had happened and endured it with extreme patience.

Xia Xingyu was a little worried that if this went on, the two of them would directly start fighting, so he dispelled the thought of watching a good show and hurriedly tried to dissuade them.

"Misunderstanding! There must be some kind of misunderstanding between you two! "

"Shen Peian, let go of my father!"

Xia Xingyu opened her mouth, and Shen Peian could be considered to be obedient. He coldly snorted and directly shook off Xiahou Yong's hand.

"Youngsters are arrogant, but they will suffer losses."

Xiahou Yong glanced at the two of them with extreme dissatisfaction before leaving in a rage.

He had never shown his loathing for Xia Xingyu, but now he could see it clearly.

Feeling this gaze, Xia Xingyu's heart skipped a beat. Was this the look a father would have when looking at his daughter?

The more she thought about it, the more bitter she felt. In an instant, she felt a bit absent-minded.

"Xia Xingyu, come with me!"

Shen Peian grabbed the woman and dragged her downstairs. He wanted to take her away, so he had to.

Xia Xingyu subconsciously started to struggle, glaring angrily at Shen Peian as she scolded him.

"Are you crazy?"

Shen Pei An paused. He just wanted to protect this woman, how could she have gone mad?

"Xia Xingyu, you aren't willing to go with me?"

He turned to look at the woman, half expecting to hear a satisfactory answer from her. Even though he knew the chances were slim, Shen Peian still looked forward to it.

Unfortunately, Xia Xingyu shook her head, and then took two steps back.

"I don't want to."

Her wrists were red from the struggle, but the man had no intention of letting her go.

"Not willing? "Heh!"

Shen Peian sneered. He was a little angry at himself. How could he be unwilling to give up a woman that he had his eyes on? It was all because of his indecisiveness and indecision earlier on.

This allowed Fu Guoqian to take advantage of the situation and sneak in.

Thinking of this, his hand made a chopping motion, and Xia Xingyu instantly fainted.
