The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2800 If one were a gentleman at this moment, that would be the greatest cruelty!

"Greetings, Young Master Lin!"

Guan Xia hurriedly came out of the house, bowed to Lin Chen, her eyes filled with surprise and doubt.

How did he find this place?

Or was it Steward Minglan who accompanied her personally?

"Sister Minglan, please come in!"

Minglan looked at Guanxia with a hint of pity in her eyes: "Guanxia, ​​Young Master Lin came to me, intending to pay points to restore your freedom, but after I reported this to the island lord, he refused..."

Guan Xia's eyes lit up when she heard the first half of the sentence, but when she heard the second half, her bright eyes suddenly dimmed.

This sudden change in expression caught Lin Chen's eye, and he sighed inwardly.

This is probably what it feels like to have your hopes dashed.

Lin Chen originally thought Guan Xia would ask why the island lord refused, but she didn't ask. She just lowered her eyes, her gaze complicated, and remained silent.

Is it despair?

Minglan said gently, "Young Master Lin said he wanted to see you, so I brought him here. You two can talk things over; I won't get in your way."

"Thank you, Sister Minglan. Please come in, young master."

Lin Chen walked into the small building and was led into the house by the silent Guan Xia.

Guan Xia glanced around, looking somewhat flustered: "Young master, please sit down, I'll make you some tea."

Lin Chen reached out to stop Guan Xia, who was about to leave, and said softly, "No need, I just drank a lot of tea at Steward Minglan's place..."

"Oh."

Guan Xia responded, then felt it wasn't right to remain silent, so she looked up at Lin Chen's eyes and asked, "Are you planning to leave?"

Lin Chen replied, "Everything has been taken care of, and I am indeed preparing to leave. I originally planned to use points to help you regain your freedom, but who knew the island lord would refuse..."

Guan Xia bit her lip lightly, her eyes dimmed, and her smile held a hint of sadness: "Thank you, Young Master Lin, you're so kind. Actually, I had already expected this outcome. Anyway, thank you."

Lin Chen asked softly, "Manager Minglan said that your identity is special, and that other flower girls can be chosen, but you cannot. Do you know why?"

Guan Xia nodded, her eyes filled with bitterness.

Looking at Guan Xia's expression, Lin Chen sighed inwardly. Since she knew it herself and didn't have any strong reaction, she obviously knew this would be the outcome.

Lin Chen didn't press for the reason, since no matter what the reason was, the result couldn't be changed.

The reasons don't matter; the results are what matter.

No matter how much you say, you can't save the person, so what's the use of offering comforting words?

Lin Chen said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help you." Guan Xia looked up, staring into Lin Chen's eyes, "You don't need to apologize. I'm so ugly, yet you didn't mind and even offered to redeem me. I've never met a man like you before..."

Lin Chen smiled wryly and said, "Don't praise me. I mean well, but there's nothing I can do to help you."

Guan Xia shook her head, her eyes brightening again as she stared at Lin Chen: "No, even if I can't help, it only strengthens my yearning for freedom. I will definitely leave this place, I will definitely gain freedom, even if it means escaping, I will definitely escape!"

Looking at Guan Xia's shining eyes, Lin Chen encouraged her, "As long as you persevere, there will always be a chance."

Guan Xia looked at Lin Chen: "Are you leaving?"

Lin Chen sighed inwardly, "I can't help you, and seeing you so sad makes me feel bad too. What am I doing here?"

"Ok!"

Guan Xia bit her lip, her eyes hardening with determination: "Close your eyes, I have something to tell you!"

Lin Chen frowned slightly, his eyes showing a hint of doubt.

Guan Xia didn't speak, her eyes fixed on Lin Chen, her expression resolute.

After staring at each other for a few seconds, Lin Chen finally closed his eyes.

He had a vague idea of ​​what Guan Xia was going to do. He originally wanted to refuse, but looking into her bright eyes, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Perhaps this gentlemanly approach is the cruelest rejection he can offer her at this moment.

Sure enough, after Lin Chen closed his eyes, a delicate fragrance wafted over him, two jade-like arms were placed on Lin Chen's shoulders, and then warm, moist lips pressed against his.

This kiss was extremely tender.

Guan Xia's body was extremely soft; holding her in one's arms was like holding a warm, soft jade, making one feel reluctant to let go.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Guan Xia released her arm, stepped back, and turned around: "Young Master Lin, you may leave."

Lin Chen opened his eyes and looked at Guan Xia's back. Suddenly, he thought, "Why is her back so beautiful?"

Could it be that our intimacy just now has caused my feelings towards her to change?

Lin Chen wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Guan Xia, take care."

"Young master, take care of yourself! May you have a peaceful and safe life ahead and achieve the path to sainthood soon!"

As Lin Chen listened to Guan Xia's words, which were clearly suppressing her emotions, his thoughts surged like a tide.

He walked slowly toward the door, but just as he was about to step out, he suddenly stopped and turned around.

Are you willing to gamble your fate for freedom?
