"Guoguo, don't act recklessly------"
"Tangtang, just kick him a few times. Why use a knife------"
Ye Qiu had no idea he had hit Tang Guo's sore spot. Seeing her rushing at him menacingly with a fruit knife, he thought to himself, "This woman is too fierce! A minor disagreement and she's pulling out a knife."
However, Ye Qiu wasn't concerned about Tang Guo's level of threat. He stood there with his arms crossed, waiting leisurely for her attack, a faint smile on his face.
"You look down on me as a bodyguard, huh? I'll just deal with you first then."
Tang Guo, extremely angry, grabbed what she thought was the most intimidating weapon she could find. Hearing Lin Bao'er's shout, she realized she was actually holding a shiny fruit knife.
Now she was in a dilemma. Should she really stab Ye Qiu with the knife? But giving up halfway would be a blow to her pride.
Thinking it over, since Ye Qiu was hired by her dad as a bodyguard, he probably had decent skills. If he couldn't even handle her, she'd have a reason to fire him.
When she saw Ye Qiu standing there with his arms crossed and a smile on his face, her internal fury exploded.
Contempt! Naked contempt!
Originally, Tang Guo just intended to scare him by stabbing his clothes. But now, she decided she had to stab his arm at least.
Underestimating women is one thing, but underestimating me, your fate is sealed.
Just as Tang Guo rushed towards Ye Qiu with a yell and prepared to stab, the beast just stood there smiling at her, neither scared nor dodging.
Miss Tang's knife was raised for a long time, but she couldn't bring herself to stab. If Ye Qiu dodged, she could at least pretend to stab a few times. If she missed, it would just show her lack of skill.
But standing there without moving, if she missed again------ it would only show she was going easy on him.
Tang Guo was furious, wanting to curse him a thousand times. How could a country bumpkin be so socially inept?
"Hey, are you going to dodge or not?" Tang Guo's hand was sore from holding the knife for so long, yet Ye Qiu remained still. His small, sly eyes were smiling at her----ugly as hell.
"Why should I dodge?" Ye Qiu shrugged and asked.
"I'm about to stab you," Tang Guo angrily reminded him.
"I know. But you haven't stabbed yet, right?"
Ah ah ah-----
Tang Guo stood stunned for a long time, then screamed like a madwoman, threw the fruit knife on the ground, and stormed upstairs in a huff.
Shen Mo Nong, seeing that Tang Guo didn't stab, finally relaxed. Lin Bao'er looked at Ye Qiu with a smile, her little head full of thoughts.
Ye Qiu knew he had thoroughly offended Tang Guo this time. With the master and servant at odds, his future days wouldn't be easy.
Shen Mo Nong's BMW was filled with a faint, fragrant scent, like a blend of lilies and roses, lasting yet not overpowering, intoxicating. He couldn't help but take a few greedy sniffs.
Though Shen Mo Nong was focused on driving, she noticed Ye Qiu's subtle action. Unconsciously, her ears turned red, spreading down to her neck. Her skin was so fair that the blush was very noticeable, like peach blossoms in spring.
The fragrance wasn't from any perfume but her natural scent.
Last time, Tang Guo had also noticed it while sitting in her car and asked what perfume she used. She said she didn't use any. Tang Guo understood then.
But explaining this to Tang Guo was one thing; how could she explain it to this man beside her? Forget it, let him think it's perfume.
"What kind of work do you do, Sister Shen?" Ye Qiu asked casually, looking out the window at the bustling streets and crowds.
"Real estate."
"Though I live in a village, I've heard real estate is very profitable," Ye Qiu said with a smile.
"It's okay."
"You must be a senior executive in your company, Sister Shen?"
"Sort of."
"Women with natural body fragrance are very rare, right?"
"I suppose------"
Shen Mo Nong gave Ye Qiu a surprised glare, accidentally stepping on the accelerator and almost rear-ending the car in front. She was preoccupied with a problem at work, so she was half-heartedly talking to Ye Qiu, falling into his trap.
Screech!
Shen Mo Nong suddenly hit the brakes, stopping the car by the roadside. She glared at Ye Qiu coldly, "Get out."
"Sister Shen, don't be mad. I was just complimenting you------"
"------"
"Having a body fragrance is something to be proud of, no need to hide it. I also have a non-natural body fragrance, a milky scent. Want to smell?" Ye Qiu wasn't lying; he did have the scent of Johnson's baby milk bath.
"------"
"Sister Shen, don't worry. I'll keep it to myself, won't tell anyone------your fragrance is only known to me------"
"My company is here," Shen Mo Nong said expressionlessly.
Ye Qiu knew he had to get out now. Leaning on the car door, he asked, "How will I get back after I buy my stuff?"
"That's your problem." Before he finished, Shen Mo Nong's car sped away.
Ye Qiu touched his nose, regretting revealing Shen Mo Nong's secret.
Beijing, the capital of China and its political and cultural center, was bustling even on this Friday. Ye Qiu got off the car and was instantly lost, confused about what to do next.
His main purpose today was to buy clothes, bedding, and other necessities. He also had another goal: to talk to Tang Buyi and find out who was targeting him, with two kidnapping attempts on his daughter.
Knowing oneself and the enemy is the key to victory. Ye Qiu didn't like being in a passive defensive state.
He pulled out his phone, intending to call Tang Buyi directly. But thinking of Tang Buyi's busy schedule, he decided to call Wang Bo first.
"This is Ye Qiu," he said into the phone.
"Ye Qiu, what do you need?" Wang Bo's elderly voice came through. Honestly, seeing Ye Qiu's number, he wanted to reject the call but was worried it might concern Miss Tang's safety.
"I want to talk to Uncle Tang."
"The master will be free in half an hour. I'll arrange a car to bring you to Tang Corporation, and a secretary will take you to him."
After hanging up, Ye Qiu flagged down a taxi. When he mentioned going to Tang Corporation, the driver gave him a strange look but let him in. After driving about 500 meters, the car stopped.
"I said Tang Corporation. Why are you stopping here?" Ye Qiu asked in confusion.
"Buddy, this is Tang Corporation headquarters," the driver said, pointing to the luxurious building outside.
Ye Qiu turned to see the two golden characters "Tang Corporation" gleaming, dazzling to the eyes.
