The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 36 How about I repay you with my body?
Gu Yuexi said softly, "But... isn't that fake?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Because I have the ability to protect you. If I didn't have the ability, I would definitely be the first to run away, so you don't need to be touched."

Gu Yuexi pouted slightly: "Do you always like to belittle yourself like this? Are you afraid of taking on some responsibility?"

Lin Chen paused for a moment, then smiled frankly and said, "Perhaps so. I don't like to put any responsibilities or burdens on myself. I prefer to be free and humble, and avoid trouble."

Gu Yuexi stared at Lin Chen: "But don't you men always like to brag and show off your abilities in front of women?"

While wiping the blood from his chest, Lin Chen replied, "There are many capable people; boasting will only lead to being proven wrong."

Gu Yuexi's gaze was complicated: "You saved my life, how should I repay you?"

Lin Chen turned his head and looked at Gu Yuexi's expression. He could roughly understand Gu Yuexi's complicated feelings towards him at this moment, so he smiled and said, "Want to repay me?"

Gu Yuexi nodded affirmatively: "That's right, if you hadn't come along, I would definitely be dead today."

Lin Chen chuckled: "Shall I be more direct then?"

Gu Yuexi nodded: "Go ahead."

Lin Chen leaned closer and chuckled, "How about I repay you with my body?"

Gu Yuexi's face flushed red, and she scolded in embarrassment and anger, "Dream on, you filthy scoundrel!"

Lin Chen looked disappointed: "Sigh, it seems I misunderstood. Never mind, just pretend I didn't say anything. Treat me to a big meal later."

Looking at Lin Chen's expression, Gu Yuexi suddenly realized that Lin Chen was doing it on purpose!

He sensed that she was grateful to him for going through life and death, and also had some complex feelings of womanhood, so he deliberately made such an extreme joke to change his own mood.

Gu Yuexi reached out and slapped Lin Chen's smooth back: "I'll teach you to talk nonsense!"

Lin Chen laughed, wrung out the towel, and said, "Don't overthink it. Even if we're not lovers, we're still friends. You don't need a reason to protect your friends. Let's go, let's continue drinking. I didn't eat many skewers of barbecue earlier, I'm still not full. Oh, can you find me some clothes? I didn't bring any change."

After changing his clothes, Lin Chen sat down in front of the barbecue grill again, where a group of rich kids waited for him with excited expressions.

"Brother Chen, you saved our lives today. From now on, you are our brother, our dear brother! If you need anything, just let us know!"

"Correct!"

The group of rich kids, recalling what had just happened, felt a surge of excitement after their initial fear.

The sight of Lin Chen, shirtless and covered in blood, wielding wolves as weapons and unleashing a furious roar that intimidated the pack, filled them with awe and admiration.

What makes a truly formidable person? This is a truly formidable person!
Even just experiencing something like this is enough to brag about for a lifetime!

Lin Chen didn't stand on ceremony and said with a smile, "You said it yourself. If I need anything in the future, don't run away."

Gao Xiaomin patted her ample chest and said excitedly, "Brother Chen, from today onwards, you are my idol. If anyone does such a tasteless thing, I will break off all ties with them!"

Lei Kun chimed in, "Brother Chen is capable, approachable, and down-to-earth. We're really lucky to know him!"

Gao Xiaomin stared at Lin Chen with shining eyes: "It's a pity that Brother Chen has a girlfriend, otherwise, I would definitely pursue Brother Chen. He's so manly!"

Lei Kun laughed and said, "Then you can ask Brother Chen if he would mind having another girlfriend."

Gu Yuexi sat next to Lin Chen. Although she knew everyone was joking, she felt inexplicably annoyed. She laughed and said, "Get lost, all of you! Lin Chen is my boyfriend. If anyone dares to steal him, I'll get angry!"

Lin Chen held the can, smiled slightly, and didn't turn his head.

Although he saved Gu Yuexi, he did not intend to use it to enhance their relationship.

His purpose in coming to Pingjiang was to obtain the jade pendant and find out about his background. After agreeing to three conditions with Chu Jiaxue to confirm that the marriage was just an act, Lin Chen was likely just a passerby in Pingjiang.

Since that's the case, let's not leave any lingering attachments.

The drinking party went on until midnight, and everyone went to rest. Lin Chen and Gu Yuexi also went into their two-person tent.

There was no light in the tent. In the darkness, the two lay side by side, their breathing clearly audible.

Gu Yuexi was wide awake. She turned her head slightly and looked at the silhouette of Lin Chen beside her, her mood complicated.

Suddenly, a disturbing noise came from a nearby tent. Although it was clearly being suppressed, the faint, cat-like meows still reached Gu Yuexi and Lin Chen's ears, stimulating their nerves.

In the darkness, their previously steady breathing suddenly seemed to become slightly more erratic, like a pebble thrown into a calm pond, creating ripples.

In the darkness, Gu Yuexi's face was burning hot, and her heart was pounding as if it would burst out of her chest.

Thinking about everything that happened today, Gu Yuexi suddenly realized that she seemed to have fallen for the man beside her.

It's not just gratitude, it's genuine liking.

This man seems to have all the advantages except for lacking family background and being a bit poor; he exudes masculine charm from head to toe.

Gu Yuexi bit her lip, mustered her courage, and tentatively reached her hand toward Lin Chen.
