The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 468 I feel like a thief

"Grandpa, Grandma..."

"Hey, come in quickly."

With the danger to the Wang family over, and with the added power of four Grandmasters of the Innate Realm, Lin Chen was no longer in danger and regained his freedom. Lin Chen then took Gu Yuexi back to the Feng family.

As Feng Yazhen said, when Lin Chen returned, everyone from his maternal grandparents to his uncles, aunts, cousins, and other relatives gave him a warm welcome. When Lin Chen was in danger, his maternal grandfather risked his life to protect him.

When his grandfather realized he couldn't protect him, he changed his approach, risking his own life to try and drag the Feng family patriarch down with him, thus relieving the pressure on Lin Chen. His maternal uncle went out of his way to help detect the Wang family's whereabouts and provide informational assistance.

They truly treated Lin Chen like family and protected him, so now Lin Chen has opened his heart to them as well.

Feng Tangtang ran over, hugged Gu Yuexi's arm, and said with a smile, "Sister Xiaoxi!"

Uncle Feng Shujie patted Lin Chen on the shoulder and laughed, "You really fooled us!"

Just as Lin Chen was about to speak, his uncle laughed again, "My brother-in-law was so outstanding back then, but I never expected my nephew to surpass him. A grandmaster at the age of twenty-seven, his future is limitless!"

Gu Yuexi received a warm welcome at the Feng family, which made her feel flattered and even a little apprehensive. After all, strictly speaking, Feng Yuanhua's granddaughter-in-law is now her sister Chu Jiaxue.

Lin Chen and Chu Jiaxue have a marriage certificate!

This made Gu Yuexi feel guilty, as if she had stolen something very important from her sister.

Grandpa Feng Yuanhua asked, "Lin Chen, what are your plans for the future?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I'm in seclusion cultivating. I obtained three Dragon-Tiger Pills from the Wang family. I'll use some time to digest and absorb them to improve my strength!"

Strictly speaking, these three Dragon Tiger Pills do not belong to Lin Chen alone, but Zhang Yun only offered them in exchange for treatment sessions, so naturally she didn't need to consider it. Her aunt was a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, and the Dragon Tiger Pills were not very effective for her. She felt sorry for Lin Chen, so she not only refused Lin Chen's suggestion to share the Dragon Tiger Pills, but she even glossed over the contributions of the two patriarchs of the Wang family.

"They're targeting Wang Lurong only because I caused trouble for the Wang family. They had no choice but to take action to eliminate the threat. It has nothing to do with you. You don't need to hold any favors against them, so you don't need to share the Dragon Tiger Pill with them either!"

Feng Yuanhua nodded: "Good! Although you received help from four Grandmasters of the Innate Realm this time and finally killed Wang Lurong, the help from others is ultimately an external force, which is uncontrollable. It is better to rely on yourself than on others. Only your own strength is the most reliable!"

Lin Chen nodded, but he was pondering his grandfather's words, wondering if he had been traumatized earlier. He had asked the Feng family patriarch to help his grandson, but the patriarch refused because Lin Chen didn't share the Feng surname. Then, Feng Yuanhua wanted to protect Lin Chen, but found himself powerless and had no choice but to resort to the desperate measure of risking his life to gain attention.

This sense of powerlessness may be what prompted Feng Yuanhua to say those words.

Since Lin Chen already had a house in Xijing, his maternal grandparents no longer invited him to stay at their home. After all, everyone understands the desire for a romantic relationship between two young people.

Feng Yazhen smiled and said, "I won't disturb your time together today. I'll come find you tomorrow and take you to a different place to cultivate."

Lin Chen did not refuse his aunt's kindness and readily agreed, "Okay!"

After Lin Chen and Gu Yuexi left the Feng family, Gu Yuexi raised her hand and looked at the emerald green jade bracelet on her wrist: "Brother, I feel a little guilty about accepting this jade bracelet."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Why are you feeling guilty about the gift from your elders?"

Gu Yuexi said in a low voice, "I feel that all the treatment I received today should belong to my sister. I feel like a thief who took advantage of the fact that the master was not home, impersonated the master, and stole what belonged to the master."

Lin Chen chuckled: "Are you my girlfriend?"

Gu Yuexi nodded without hesitation: "Of course."

Lin Chen nodded and smiled, "Then that settles it. You introduced yourself to them as my girlfriend, so it's perfectly normal for them to treat you well."

Before Gu Yuexi could speak, Lin Chen smiled and said, "Even if your sister is back now, if I introduce you again in front of my family, I will still introduce you as my girlfriend. Even if they think there is a problem, they will scold me for being unfaithful, instead of blaming you for giving your all."

Gu Yuexi understood Lin Chen's meaning, and a sense of warmth welled up in her heart.

He took the blame for this messy relationship upon himself, attributing it to his own infidelity.

In short, Chu Jiaxue did nothing wrong, Gu Yuexi did nothing wrong either. If someone has to be wrong, then the one who is wrong is Lin Chen, and Lin Chen is willing to take full responsibility!

This is a responsibility that every man must have!
