The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 309 Good Sisters, Keep the Goods in the Family

"When the Chu family falls, I won't have to do this anymore."

Lin Chen remained tight-lipped: "Right now, safety comes first. I don't want to just disappear without a trace."

Zuo Yingying smiled and said, "Why don't you try to persuade my brother? Maybe the Zuo family will help you?"

"Twisted melons are not sweet."

Lin Chen joked, "Instead of trying to persuade your brother, I might as well just kidnap you and force your family to help me, or I'll kill you. I think that would be more effective."

Zuo Yingying laughed heartily: "That's a good idea, but my brother said you probably don't need the Zuo family at all, is that right?"

Lin Chen was slightly startled, but smiled and said, "The Zuo family is one of the four major families in Linhai. If the Zuo family is willing, dealing with the Chu family would be very easy. Why wouldn't they need it? It's just that I don't have any bargaining chips to attract the Zuo family to cooperate with me, so I have no choice but to give up."

Zuo Yingying laughed and said, "You can marry me, aren't I just a bargaining chip?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "No."

Zuo Yingying feigned resentment in her gaze: "What, is it that Miss Zuo is not good enough for Mr. Lin?"

Lin Chen wasn't buying it and laughed, "First, even if I really wanted to marry you, you might not. Second, even if I'm just a security guard, you come to watch over me every day. If I married you, wouldn't you bother me to death every day? It's much better for me to be free and independent."

Zuo Yingying casually replied, "Then why did you marry Chu Jiaxue and get a marriage certificate? The key is that you two don't seem to be a real couple. You probably haven't even slept together, right?"

Lin Chen turned his head to look at Zuo Yingying, who smiled and said, "It's not hard to guess. Besides, I guess she should have guessed the relationship between you and me. Women are very sensitive to these kinds of things. Their eyes can betray everything, and it can't be hidden."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Were you doing this on purpose yesterday? Testing me?"

"There's some truth to that. She probably figured it out too. Smart women don't really need explanations."

Zuo Yingying asked curiously, "What exactly is going on between you and her? Can you tell me?"

Lin Chen stared at Zuo Yingying without saying a word. Zuo Yingying raised her finger: "I swear, I will never tell anyone else!"

Lin Chen thought about it and realized that since Zuo Yingying had already seen through it, there was no need for him to hide it, since it wasn't anything shameful.

"Our marriage was arranged by my master and her grandfather. I didn't know her before, so she naturally had no feelings for me. Because the old man insisted that we get married immediately, we made a private agreement, a three-point agreement, that it was a fake marriage..."

Zuo Yingying suddenly realized, "I see. But I noticed she was quite close to you." Lin Chen smiled and said, "When people live together for a long time, their relationship will always improve. Besides, aren't we comrades-in-arms in the same boat?"

Zuo Yingying asked curiously, "What is your relationship now? I mean, regardless of the premise of a marriage certificate."

Lin Chen thought for a moment and smiled, "I can't really explain it. We're companions, comrades-in-arms, and if we're talking about a romantic relationship, more than friends but not quite lovers, um, it feels like it's missing something..."

"The final push?"

Zuo Yingying sighed, "I created such a good opportunity for you last night, and you didn't seize it. What a waste!"

Lin Chen stared at Zuo Yingying curiously: "I'm quite curious, given our relationship, why are you doing this?"

Zuo Yingying laughed and said, "You're such a playboy, I can't hold your heart. Since that's the case, let someone else hold you. I think she's more suitable than me for this."

Lin Chen asked in a strange tone, "And then?"

Zuo Yingying said with a smile, "Please ask her to occasionally borrow her man, considering that I've helped her and am even planning to be her friend and best friend. Don't be angry, it's good to keep the good stuff in the family. After all, I know your situation, and I haven't taken advantage of your misfortune or ruined your relationship. On the contrary, I've tried my best to help you. Don't you think I'm a good person?"

Lin Chen was shocked.

Is this okay?

"Do you think she would agree? I mean, if I hadn't broken up with her?"

Zuo Yingying chuckled and said, "I told you, you're a free spirit at heart, you don't like any kind of restraint. I can see that, and the woman who lives with you can see it too. It's basically impossible for you to be devoted to one woman for life, to not be unfaithful and to be faithful. She either loves you and accepts this flaw of yours, or she doesn't love you enough and chooses to leave you. Either way, I don't lose anything, right?"

Lin Chen looked at Zuo Yingying speechlessly: "Are all women this good at scheming?"

Zuo Yingying rested her chin on her hand and said with a smile, "Beautiful women are especially shrewd. Your wife may not say anything because of your agreement, but she probably knows everything."

After hearing what Zuo Yingying said, Lin Chen suddenly felt a little uncertain.

Is it really as Zuo Yingying said?
Chu Jiaxue understood everything and saw through everything, yet she remained silent.

I've always prided myself on being shrewd, but why do I feel like my IQ isn't up to par when I'm around these two women?
