It was late in the evening when Yu Huiyin finished working for the night. Her body was aching, and her mind exhausted. She had been up since four in the morning, and it was already eleven at night when she finished her daily tasks.
The restaurant she was working at was in the other end of town from where she lived, and she had to cross a considerable distance to get home, hence today, she had no time to go out racing or fighting.
Changing her clothes from the uniform to her worn-out garments, Yu Huiyin smiled wryly. She had to buy some new clothes soon, but it was an expensive post, so she had pushed it back as far as possible.
She was walking through the streets when she noticed that a very handsome man was walking by her side. At first, she had not noticed anything out of order, but then she saw a group of bodyguards trailing behind him, and she instantly knew he was no ordinary man.
Glancing at him a bit more, Yu Huiyin noticed that the man was handsome like no other man. He was tall, and his body looked slender and pleasing. His legs were long, and so were his fingers.
She continued to look at the man, and when she saw his face, she was stunned. Although she knew that she was attractive, this man was like a god that had descended to earth. If he were a celebrity, then he would be the most famous male celebrity in the world.
He was so attractive that she felt her world collapse; she had never seen such a handsome man before.
Knowing that it was improper to stare at him, she shook her head and tried to maintain her ignorance. Although a handsome male god was walking beside her did not mean anything. It had nothing to do with her, at least.
But suddenly the man's phone rang, and as he picked it up, she heard his melodious voice, which was low and intoxicating.
Listening to it, her knees almost went weak, this man was indeed the arch-enemy of all women!
She had no intention of listening in on his conversation, but his voice was simply too enjoyable to listen to, and she could not help but hear what he said.
"I say, Grandpa, I will get married when I find a woman I like."
"..."
"No, I am not sure yet,"
"..."
"Seriously, Old Man, I do not want you to find me blind dates, I do not have time to deal with it."
"..."
"Leave it to me."
After that, Yu Huiyin could not help but glance at the man again. Even someone as handsome as he was forced to get married? Poor guy.
At this moment, her eyes landed on his chest, and she frowned. A small red laser-like dot was pointing at his chest, and when Yu Huiyin realized what it was, her eyes widened in shock, and she threw herself at the man. Right at that moment, a whistling sound was heard.
The man and his bodyguards were taken by surprise. He was still on the phone, entirely focused on his conversation, when he was being pushed hard, and he stumbled backward, even so, he had come to no harm.
When she pushed him away, a tearing pain erupted in Yu Huiyin's shoulder, and she felt how she was sent flying backward. She stumbled into the bodyguards who were rushing to the man's side.
Her body was not under her own command any longer, and after she had been thrown away by the impact of the bullet, she collapsed on the ground in a heap.
Even so, she did not lose consciousness. The bodyguards had by now rushed to the side of the man to ensure that he was fine before the group slowly moved towards her side.
Yu Huiyin had her eyes open; a bit of panic was evident within them. She had been shot!
Why did she have to be such a busybody? Why did she have to save the man just because he was attractive! Now she had been shot, how was she ever supposed to explain this to her grandfather? He was never going to let her out again!
Looking at the woman, the handsome man was surprised that she was still conscious. When he saw that she was lying in a pool of blood, he took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Send an ambulance to Chang'an Road; someone just got shot while saving me."
His voice was devoid of emotions, but a ripple could be seen in his eyes. He was used to living life on the edge because of the nature of his business, but no one had ever disregarded their own lives to save him before, unless they belonged to his group, but that was their job. It was a question about profits in his world.
Seeing how the woman on the ground was pale, biting her lower lip and looking horrified, he knew she had acted impulsively. She had truly saved him merely because she wanted to save him.
What he did not know was that her fear was not due to the gunshot, but because she feared her grandfather's reaction.
He knelt by her side, and his hand took out a handkerchief, which he used to wipe the sweat off her forehead.
"Bear with it a bit longer," he said to her, his tone much gentler than it was before. "I already called an ambulance; it will arrive soon."
Yu Huiyin was drawn out of her fear, and her naive and pure eyes looked at him puzzled. Her appearance adorable, and the man felt his heart stir when he looked into her eyes. This woman was special.
