The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 349 Why should I take his place?

"What's going on between you and my sister?"

Gu Yuexi's mind was in a mess for a moment, and she was somewhat at a loss.

Give in?
Reluctant to part with it!
Forge ahead bravely?

It seems a bit awkward, after all, she's my older sister, and the two of them have a very good relationship!
Lin Chen answered frankly, "I can't say for sure either, because there's still a little time before the three-month deadline, so we haven't formally discussed this matter."

Gu Yuexi frowned and said, "Didn't you say she went out on business? When is she coming back?"

Lin Chen shook his head and recounted the entire conversation that Ouyang Le had when he took Chu Jiaxue away.

"Originally, I wanted to handle this matter myself so you wouldn't have to face all this awkwardly. But given today's circumstances and Yingying's appearance, I think it's better to tell you, since she might be out of contact for a few more months."

Gu Yuexi fell silent.

Any other woman would have fought hard for her own happiness and would not have shown any weakness. However, that person was Chu Jiaxue, her close cousin!

Zuo Yingying rested her chin on one hand, looking left and right with great interest.

"Miss Gu..."

Gu Yuexi looked up: "Call me Yueyue, or Xiaoxi."

Zuo Yingying chuckled: "You can call Yueyue by your brother's name. I'll call you Xiaoxi."

Gu Yuexi nodded slightly. Her heart was in turmoil. She didn't know what Zuo Yingying wanted to say when she suddenly interrupted, but out of politeness, she did not show any hostility towards Zuo Yingying.

Zuo Yingying was right. She wasn't her enemy, and subconsciously, Gu Yuexi didn't want Lin Chen to be caught in the middle.

Zuo Yingying said with a smile, "Can I have a chat with you alone for a few minutes?"

Gu Yuexi looked somewhat puzzled. She glanced at Lin Chen and saw that he also looked confused. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded and said, "Okay!"

Lin Chen frowned and asked, "What are you trying to say?"

Zuo Yingying stood up, walked behind Lin Chen, gently pressed her hands on Lin Chen's shoulders, and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, I'm on your side, I'll only help you."

Lin Chen glanced at Zuo Yingying, who gave him a reassuring look before turning and heading towards the stern.

"Don't eavesdrop!"

Gu Yuexi pursed her lips and followed Zuo Yingying to the very end of the path. The two leaned against the railing, enjoying the sea breeze. Gu Yuexi turned to Zuo Yingying and asked, "What do you want to tell me?"

Zuo Yingying chuckled and said, "You and Lin Chen haven't slept together yet, have you?"

Gu Yuexi's face flushed slightly, but she knew that Zuo Yingying's question was not just to provoke or mock her, so she shook her head frankly: "I have thought about it, but he always avoids it. I didn't understand before, but I understand now. He is wary of my sister."

Zuo Yingying smiled and said, "Lin Chen is a real man. If I hadn't drugged him, we would probably just be ordinary friends now."

Gu Yuexi felt a pang of envy. If she had done the same, perhaps she wouldn't be so conflicted now.

"Actually, it was all a coincidence. I met him at a bar before, and I wanted to flirt with him, but he flirted with me instead, kissed me, and even touched me. I wasn't satisfied, so I asked him out again, and got two of my company's masseuses for massages. At the same time, I drugged his tea. My original plan was to have the two masseuses sleep with him, and I would film him to make fun of him..."

As Gu Yuexi listened to Zuo Yingying recount these private matters, she couldn't help but widen her eyes: "And the result?"

Zuo Yingying put her arm around Gu Yuexi's shoulder, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "But he wasn't willing to be played by me. Like a bull, he broke through several walls, ran through several rooms, and caught me while I was spying on him. And you know what happened next, I didn't get a wink of sleep all night..."

Gu Yuexi's expression was strange; for a moment, she didn't know whether to laugh or envy.

Zuo Yingying chuckled and said, "Jiaxue should know about me and Lin Chen, but she hasn't said anything."

Gu Yuexi suddenly looked up, her eyes lighting up instantly.

She was a smart woman, and she naturally understood the implications behind this matter.

"Does she know that you slept with Lin Chen?"

Zuo Yingying whispered, "It wasn't explicitly stated, but women are most sensitive to these things. The three of us were even eating together; it's impossible for her not to notice. Besides, I dragged Lin Chen along to pretend to be her boyfriend, originally intending to help her take the fall. But it turns out that the guy was Jiaxue's college classmate and also her suitor, who knew that Lin Chen was Chu Jiaxue's husband..."

Gu Yuexi's eyes widened. If they hadn't fully discussed things while drinking together before, this should be considered solid evidence, right?

"What did she say?"

Zuo Yingying smiled and said, "I asked Lin Chen, and she didn't mention it at all. Why do you think that is?"

Gu Yuexi frowned, staring at Zuo Yingying with a hint of wariness in her eyes: "What, why are you watching so closely? Are you planning to take her place?"

Zuo Yingying chuckled: "You've got it wrong. Why would I want to take your place?"
