How on earth Ling Qingyu began to fall for Lin Fan? Simple, Ling Qingyu thought to herself.
It all started with the accident or her assassination. The girl might feel unsafe and insecure after waking up.
Despite the protection level she had, it shouldn't stop with the truck Kun crashing her car, nearly killing her.
Unlike the current Ling Qingyu, possessing Miss System and having two generals at her hands, and retaliating swiftly, the girl had nothing and nowhere to know who had the knife in the dark.
There might be more. Worried about her security, when Lin Fan came in, in spite of the reluctance, she saw an opportunity.
She could study his personalities closely whether she should exchange her lifelong sacred marriage and use Lin Fan for her protection. His wealth and status might be incomparable, she didn't mind.
Perhaps Lin Fan took revenge for her or rescued her like a damsel in distress, she fell from the high heaven.
Having a life partner like Lin Fan should be okay in her opinion and the road began with Lin Fan becoming her bodyguard.
What's more, she believed they were a power couple, excelling at their expertise. Lin Fan was a military and powerful force while her advantages lay in business, finance, and logistics.
Ling Qingyu shook her head and threw away her guess at the moment. There was no use in thinking more.
Lin Fan eyed strangely at Ling Qingyu's head movement. What did she mean? He lowered his head and gritted his teeth in annoyance.
Patience. Tolerance.
To deal with a woman of Ling Qingyu's status, Lin Fan reminded himself to be steadfast several times.
"That's the problem, Ms. Ling. They don't have enough deterrence on the surface, no matter the capabilities." Lin Fan calmly stated.
Ling Qingyu agreed with Lin Fan's statement. Sometimes, most people only looked at the surface and made a judgment.
Until Ling Qingyu's guards made a strong prestige, various pests would keep on coming.
Lin Fan pursed his lips. "I don't deny it but I'm talking from my perspective. Since ancient times, only men fight, women didn't. There had to be some fundamentals."
Ling Qingyu listened and replied. "Several issues. Population concern is one. Losing a man is only one but losing a woman means losing another two or more. Second, the way people were brought up psychologically—women were meant to follow their fathers' and husbands' words and couldn't make their own judgments.
Third, men are born to be aggressive and had an easier time adapting their psychologies to combat, unlike women. Fourth, women's physiques tend to be weaker than males. Fifth, women had some time every month when they were the weakest, unsuitable for combat scenarios."
"So, even if I became a commander in ancient times, I would make the same judgment. Despite the nullifying effects in a group fight where it didn't make much strength difference between men and women, I'll choose men. Easier time to train with a better foundation in physique. Relatively low cost than women where they needed care and nourishment more than men during a specific period every month.
No need to worry about unplanned pregnancy among my soldiers. Why do you want me to say more?" Ling Qingyu's eyes glittered strangely, wondering whether her Miss System had influenced greatly that her arguments became better.
Ling Qingyu wouldn't say about Hua Mulan's biography since she didn't exist in this world. Serving in the military for 12 years, hiding her identity as a man, Ling Qingyu had nothing but respect.
Lin Fan watched dumbfounded at Ling Qingyu's response. "Then, why do you choose women as your security rather than men."
Ling Qingyu rolled her eyes. "What era do you think we're in? Apart from some, previous historical reasons make little sense in the current era. When it comes to my company's security, I prioritize capability, dedication and loyalty over gender. The most important reason is compatibility issues with members of the staff which my female guards probably excelled more."
"In terms of capability, my female security team has been trained extensively and proven their skills through various challenges. Plus, I believe in empowering women and breaking stereotypes." Ling Qingyu shrugged her shoulders after she said everything.
"Not mentioning, I'm not only providing them jobs but also a chance to prove their strength in unconventional roles."
Lin Fan's face remained helpless but he didn't relent. "Ms. Ling, I agree with your views and perspectives, but given my background, I highly doubt they can match me regarding the essential abilities."
Come on, don't try to argue against me. Lin Fan felt bitter. How many countries around the globe, hearing his title would instantly, beg for his participation and adhere to his training method?
His name wasn't simple, and his wealth was uncountable.
But here he was, having to beg just to be Ling Qingyu's bodyguard. Lin Fan wondered how many of his old comrades would complain.
Ling Qingyu didn't deny his excellence, especially from the hints given by Miss System. Sadly, what Ling Qingyu desired most was to not see his existence near her.
It was the politeness and preserving her reputation that allowed her to control herself from saying—SCRAM!
