Song Lan and King had shopped for hours now. They decided to take a break and sit inside a cafe. Song Lan had been looking at King who had an abused look on his face while he struggled to hold all the big shopping bags.
He had been grumbling how unnecessarily big those shopping bags were despite having on one or two items in it. Song Lan felt a bit guilty making him carry everything so she decided to take a break.
Coincidentally, King also received a call. He held the mic close to his mouth and held the earpiece looking like a true bodyguard. Song Lan was a bit fascinated and their order finally came.
Song Lan was sipping her milkshake trying to mind her own business but alas, she was a nosy gossiper at heart and her ears were wide open. However, she could only hear King and not the other line.
"King, the new bodyguard is coming. Try to stay where you are. And uhh," Zhao Lei hesitated a bit, but suddenly grinned mischievously.
He decided not to tell King that it was their big boss coming and only warned him, "I'm telling you, be on your best behavior. Try not to go against protocol."
King had a sense of foreboding when he heard Zhao Lei. His brows furrowed in confusion. "Uh, yeah okay. Do I know the guy?"
"Sure," Zhao Lei said cheerfully.
"Anyway, I gotta go. I have a lot of things to do since our boss is leisure." The line cut before King could say anything.
Song Lan couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is it?"
"Oh, your new bodyguard is coming to accompany you."
"Eh? New bodyguard? How about you?" Song Lan felt confused. She didn't know anything about this.
"Don't worry, Miss Sun. We're only increasing your security so two additional bodyguards will be operating under you. The other one is coming now." King assured her.
Eh? Increasing security? Song Lan felt confused and worried at the same time. She really had no idea what trouble her father is in. She never really asked about it. Master Sun could always tell her if he wanted to, but if he didn't say anything, he probably couldn't tell her as of now so Song Lan didn't bother asking.
Guo Sichen was already out if his car, browsing his phone while walking inside the mall, checking their location.
Today was his first day as Song Lan's bodyguard. He had dressed as he always had. A black suit, but instead he wore a white dress shirt underneath along with a black tie. It was a standard uniform in Ji Security Group. Only that his suit was obviously in better quality as it was custom-made.
His simple but professional look didn't do anything to hide his excellent temperament and aura of a wealthy young master.
Guo Sichen graced the mall with his superior-like presence, his black leather dress shoes clacking quite loudly against the floor, attracting more attention.
His stern but good looking face seemed to have become a subject for the young girls and mothers shopping to gush over.
Guo Sichen arrived at the cafe's entrance, his eyes searching for the two. Song Lan was sitting upstairs with King so he didn't immediately see them.
"Ayo, that guy is so good looking. He obviously looks like a young master ah!" A woman whispered sitting near Guo Sichen almost choked on the cake she was eating after seeing the male god arrive at the cafe.
A mother looked at Guo Sichen like she found the perfect prey. "Oh my, daughter look. With your pretty face, you can definitely attract his attention!"
The daughter looked at her mother like she was crazy docked her head in shame. The mother had spoken quite loudly ah! All the other women who heard it looked at her sharply. Some scoffed and some snickered.
Guo Sichen didn't pay them any mind and took out his phone with his brows furrowed.
Song Lan had just finished her milkshake and they were both well-rested so they decided to leave.
As they were going down the stairs, Song Lan felt curious. "Oh right. Aren't we meeting the new bodyguard?"
King nodded, "He might be downstairs already."
"I can finally lessen these d*mn bags." King grumbled.
Guo Sichen saw the tracker was indicating that they were going near so he raised his gaze.
Song Lan caught sight of Guo Sichen. She narrowed her eyes and felt he was familiar. King, on the other hand still didn't notice that Guo Sichen was standing near the exit.
Song Lan's eyes widened and recalled that he was her previous bodyguard who took her to school after their semester break. She wondered why this guy went missing and was replaced but it turns out he was the new bodyguard.
She had a good impression of this bodyguard and liked him because he was prepared and bought snacks for her, unlike King who didn't seem informed of it.
"Eh? Brother Sichen!" Song Lan exclaimed and waved. She excitedly went near him. King, on the other hand, froze with the countless shopping bags slung on both of his shoulders and some on his hands.
"Ayo good brother, I thought you finally had an enlightenment and left that company of yours!" Song Lan remarked.
"...Miss Sun, " Guo Sichen felt speechless and could only nod and greet her in the end.
King nervously followed after Song Lan and sweated.
'Ahh! Zhao Lei, are you trying to make me suffer? Why is the big boss here?!' King cursed Zhao Lei in his mind.
The onlookers saw that a beauty approached their male god and suddenly felt bitter.
"Ahh, it turns out that the male god already has a girlfriend." They saw her peerless face and gorgeous body and felt envy in their hearts.
Guo Sichen tore his gaze from Song Lan to King. He froze and wanted to greet but he saw the warning on his boss's eyes. King could only put two on two together without a word from his boss. He finally understood why Zhao Lei was always spiritless after talking with their boss. He never explained. You would have to exercise your brain and connect the dots on your own. Moreover, take the risk of having the wrong conclusion.
No wonder Zhao Lei always had an aggrieved look on his face when he assumed wrongly, the boss would look at him with contempt as if he was stupid to not get it.
Song Lan saw that Guo Sichen was looking at King and looked back at him. Sweat was running down from his face.
"Eh? Brother King, why don't you give some of the bags to brother Sichen so he could carry it?" Song Lan suggested.
King, "!!!"
He helplessly looked at Song Lan who was looking at him worriedly.
'Miss Sun, are you trying to make me lose my job and lose my life too?' King cried in his heart. Who would dare make his boss carry shopping bags?!
King smiled like he was constipated, "Uhh, no need Miss Sun."
Song Lan eyed him suspiciously, he was acting weird. "Hmm, okay. Let's get going."
Guo Sichen and King both followed Song Lan outside the cafe.
