The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 215 I Didn't See Anything

"Are you planning to show favor to the Leng family and then join forces with them to deal with the Chu family?"

In the hotel, Chu Jiaxue, wearing a bathrobe that revealed her fair legs, sat opposite Lin Chen.

Having lived together for a while, Chu Jiaxue now feels perfectly comfortable in front of Lin Chen, even when wearing a bathrobe.

Chu Jiaxue could have gone straight to Lin Chen's room when she returned, but she chose to go back to her room first, take a shower, and change into her bathrobe before coming to Lin Chen's room.

Subconsciously, Chu Jiaxue didn't want Lin Chen to feel like 'she's keeping her distance from me,' since they usually met in the bedroom, always in their pajamas.

Even though she was staying in a hotel, Chu Jiaxue didn't want this atmosphere to be ruined.

Wearing a neat and formal work outfit always gives the impression of being too formal and discussing work, rather than a casual conversation between two close friends.

Lin Chen didn't think much of it, after all, wasn't this how it always was when the two of them were at home?

Although Chu Jiaxue's pajamas were relatively conservative, isn't it normal to wear a bathrobe in a hotel?

Lin Chen dried his hair, sat on the edge of the bed, and casually replied, "Yeah, I have that idea. Since we've run into each other by chance, those people are helping me too."

Chu Jiaxue's eyes lit up: "The Leng family is very powerful, no less so than the Chu family. Moreover, the Chu family mainly has influence in the business world, while the Leng family has huge influence in the military, political and business worlds."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "There's no need to have a specific purpose. Anyway, it's always good to save someone and make another friend. With more friends, we won't be so alone when dealing with the Chu family, and we can attack them from more angles."

Chu Jiaxue smiled and said, "Anyway, I'll listen to you."

Lin Chen smiled and asked, "What are you planning to do with Xiao Jiancheng and the others?"

Chu Jiaxue sought Lin Chen's opinion: "Since Leng Ying has already given the instructions and the favors have been done, we can't waste them. Find out how much these people have embezzled from the company, make them spit it all out, beat them up, and leave them at the company gate. It'll be a way to make an example of them. What do you think?"

Lin Chen was slightly surprised: "That's good. I thought you were going to insist on going through the proper procedures to investigate them."

Chu Jiaxue pouted and rolled her eyes at Lin Chen: "Do you think I'm stubborn? Since everyone is more afraid of underground rules, it would be better to use them to deter them. We didn't have that option before, but now that we do, I will naturally do it."

After a pause, Chu Jiaxue stared at Lin Chen: "I've realized that since you came here, I've experienced these things and seen the rules of another world. I've also learned a lot and matured a lot."

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "The rules of this world aren't always so upright; they're full of all sorts of negative things." Chu Jiaxue shook her head: "The more you know, the better. If it weren't for you this time, and Chuhe Group hadn't acquired the pharmaceutical factory, I'm afraid the factory's atmosphere would have been hard to change, and they would probably have been extorted for protection money. There are many bright places in this world, but there are also many dark places."

Lin Chen casually replied, "The front is light, and the back is naturally shadow and darkness; that's inevitable."

Chu Jiaxue leaned against the headboard, supporting herself with her hand. Lin Chen tossed her a cushion: "Why are you sitting so formally? Lean back, it'll be more comfortable to chat."

Chu Jiaxue hummed in agreement, adjusted the cushions, and then lifted her leg to rest against the headboard. Just as she lifted her leg, the hem of her bathrobe suddenly parted.

Lin Chen had been staring at Chu Jiaxue, and his gaze naturally drifted over, where he saw the alluring scenery beneath her bathrobe.

Lin Chen quickly looked away, and Chu Jiaxue's face flushed red. She quickly pulled her robe over to cover her fair thighs and the view that had been inadvertently revealed.

Chu Jiaxue glared at Lin Chen angrily: "You did that on purpose!"

Lin Chen laughed awkwardly: "It was all out of kindness, but it was an accident, an accident. I didn't see anything!"

Chu Jiaxue scoffed, "I'd never believe you!"

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "Oh dear, we've been living in the same room for so long, it's normal for a little accident to happen."

A sudden surge of impulse welled up in Chu Jiaxue's heart, and she asked in a low voice, "You've... had quite a few women in the past, haven't you?"

Lin Chen was surprised that Chu Jiaxue suddenly asked such a sensitive question. After hesitating for a moment, he answered frankly, "Yes."

At this age, if you still don't have a few women, that would be too tragic.

Lin Chen didn't say this aloud because, based on his observations, Chu Jiaxue was still pure and innocent, having never even had a boyfriend, let alone any romantic relationships.

If I were to say this out loud, I might get away with it, but wouldn't that be mocking Chu Jiaxue?
Chu Jiaxue asked, "Girlfriend?"

Lin Chen shook his head and answered frankly, "I've never had a girlfriend. Well, I used to travel abroad a lot, or maybe I was just playing around to satisfy my physical needs. The things we do are very stressful, and sometimes we need to release some tension... Anyway, that's the gist of it."

Chu Jiaxue lowered her head, her face flushed, and dared not look Lin Chen in the eye: "Living with me, is it... very difficult, very sad?"
