A list of the top ten main characters: Ye Wenjie from the Three-Body Problem at the beginning.

2.7 Moreover, the other employees didn't dare to breathe loudly. With Su Mu and Ai Xue'er's attitude so stiff, they didn't dare to stay there. In addition, they felt that the temperature around Ai Xue'er had dropped by 8 degrees, so they quickly left.

Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Ai Xue'er, and said softly.

"Miss, if you have nothing else to do, I need to continue my work, so I won't keep you company any longer."

Chapter 258 Strangers

Hearing this, Ai Xueer clenched her fists, looked at Su Mu, and said loudly.

"Su Mu, do you hate me that much? Why? I just want to be good to you, why are you rejecting me?"

Ai Xue'er didn't understand at all, but Su Mu didn't care. Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief and told Ai Xue'er that he didn't need her to go to so much trouble.

Moreover, he and Ai Xue'er were only in a superior-subordinate relationship, and she didn't want others to gossip. Su Mu raised his head and looked calmly at Ai Xue'er. Ai Xue'er was stunned and stood there, somewhat at a loss.

Finally, he silently lowered his head.

"Su Mu, I understand."

After saying that, Ai Xue'er left immediately. Ai Xue'er was very sad. She had originally planned to confess to Su Mu, but now Su Mu had rejected her completely. Ai Xue'er went upstairs dejectedly.

On his way upstairs, he ran into the CEO. When the CEO saw that Ai Xue'er had returned, he laughed heartily, walked over, and patted Ai Xue'er on the shoulder.

"My dear daughter, you're finally back. How was your business trip?"

Ai Xueer waved her hand and looked at the president.

"Father, I'm fine. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

After speaking, Ai Xue'er left directly. Seeing Ai Xue'er's appearance, the president was a little puzzled. She scratched her head, wondering what was wrong with Ai Xue'er. Why was she suddenly so cold towards her?

Moreover, Ai Xue'er, who usually loved to act coquettishly with her, had become very unfamiliar to the CEO. She sighed, still unable to understand why Ai Xue'er had been so down all day.

The president couldn't stand it anymore, so she called Ai Xue'er to her office. Ai Xue'er remained calm, without even looking up, and asked the president.

"Father, why did you call me here?"

The president nodded, stepped forward, and patted Ai Xue'er on the shoulder.

"Aisher, what's wrong? Is work too stressful? I can give you two days off."

Ai Xue'er quickly shook her head, took a deep breath, and looked at the president.

“Father, Su Mu rejected me. He doesn’t like me at all.”

Ai Xue'er's voice trembled with tears as she slumped onto the table. She loved Su Mu very much, but she didn't know why Su Mu wouldn't accept her.

The president was stunned for a moment. He was so angry that he glared at Ai Xue'er and said.

"Aisher, are you telling the truth? How could that be? How could he not like you? You're beautiful and talented, more than a match for him."

After speaking, the president pursed his lips, and Ai Xue'er nodded. He was very confident in himself, but now, Su Mu was unwilling to talk to him about these sentimental matters.

Ai Xueer waved her hand and looked at the president.

“Father, it’s okay. I have to process the heartbreak on my own. I hope you can give me some time. I will get back to work soon.”

The president nodded quickly. He trusted Ai Xue'er completely. He watched Ai Xue'er leave, but seeing how negative she was, he felt uneasy.

The president was very distressed and wanted to find a way to cheer Ai Xue'er up. So, the president's eyes lit up and he called Su Mu over. Su Mu was a little confused. Why did the president call him over out of the blue?

But Su Mu still obediently went inside. He coughed twice and looked at the president.

"President, I heard you wanted to see me. Is there something you need?"

Chapter 259 Specific Tasks

The president nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Su Mu.

“Su Mu. You are the captain of the bodyguard team. I haven’t assigned you any specific tasks yet. From today onwards, you are Ai Xue’er’s personal bodyguard, and I will give you a raise.”

Hearing this, Su Mu was somewhat surprised. He frowned and looked at the president.

"President, why is it arranged this way? I am the captain of the bodyguard team, and all those people must follow my orders. I don't need any other positions."

Su Mu remained calm, but the CEO shook his head. The CEO breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Su Mu, saying...

"But your efforts are too unrealistic. I hope you can achieve some concrete results so that the bodyguards will respect you."

Su Mu nodded helplessly and looked at the president.

"Alright, in that case, I'll go protect Aisher's safety."

The president smiled with satisfaction, patted Su Mu on the shoulder, and said softly.

"Su Mu, I'm entrusting my daughter to you. I have complete confidence in you, and I'm sure you won't let me down, right?"

Su Mu nodded and left directly. He went to Ai Xue'er's palace. Ai Xue'er was a little surprised. Why would Su Mu take the initiative to come to find her?

Ai Xue'er was flattered and quickly stepped forward to look at Su Mu and say.

"Su Mu, what's wrong? Is there something you need from me?"

Su Mu nodded calmly and looked at Ai Xue'er.

"Miss, from today onwards, I will be your personal bodyguard. You can take me with you wherever you go, and I will guarantee your safety."

Ashley was flattered and nodded quickly, stammering as she spoke.

"Su Mu, really? I understand, thank you. You can go back now, I'll call you if I need anything."

Su Mu nodded quickly and left. When Su Mu returned to his workstation, everyone asked him what was going on and why the president had called him over.

Su Mu was getting impatient. He coughed twice and looked at everyone.

"Have you all finished your work? If you really have nothing to do, go outside for a run, instead of gossiping and gossiping all over the place."

Upon hearing Su Mu's words, they all quickly lowered their heads. Everyone knew that Su Mu was fierce, and they dared not offend him, so they could only slink away.

Su Mu stretched. He was now Ai Xue'er's personal bodyguard, and he would definitely ensure her safety. Ai Xue'er would be off work soon.

She raised an eyebrow and looked at Su Mu.

“…Su Mu, let’s go.”

Su Mu paused for a moment, then nodded. He didn't say anything and followed Ai Xue'er to the bar. Su Mu frowned and looked at Ai Xue'er.

"Miss, would you like a drink?"

Ai Xue'er disagreed and laughed heartily as she looked at Su Mu.

After speaking, Ai Xue'er waved her hand, and the waiter next to her brought over wine glasses. Ai Xue'er drank one glass after another. Su Mu hesitated for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ai Xue'er and said.

"Miss, please don't drink too much. It's not good for your health. You should go home and rest for a while."

But Ai Xue'er wouldn't listen. She pouted and looked at Su Mu.

Chapter 260 Standing Guard

"Su Mu, who are you to me? And what right do you have to tell me what to do? Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

After she finished speaking, the young lady pushed Su Mu's hand away. Su Mu had no choice but to stand aside. Many people came over to chat with Ai Xue'er, but Su Mu stopped them all.

Su Mu said with a serious expression.

"Who gave you permission to approach the young lady? Get out of here!"

Hearing Su Mu's cold words, these people shrank back. Su Mu was tall and strong, and his eyes were very piercing. They dared not approach Ai Xue'er anymore, while Ai Xue'er just found it funny.

He shook his head, coughed twice, and looked at Su Mu.

"Su Mu, I asked you to protect my safety, not to block my romantic prospects. If I don't have a boyfriend, will you compensate me?"

After speaking, Ai Xue'er slowly approached Su Mu. Su Mu was taken aback and quickly took two steps back. He took a deep breath and looked at Ai Xue'er.

“Aisher, please have some self-respect. I am not good enough for you, and I have no time to think about these romantic feelings. I hope you can understand me.”

Su Mu silently lowered his head. Seeing how serious Su Mu was, Ai Xue'er found it amusing. Ai Xue'er coughed twice and looked at Su Mu.

After saying that, Ai Xue'er shrugged. Looking at Ai Xue'er's harmless face, Su Mu chuckled. He breathed a sigh of relief; his relationship with Ai Xue'er was quite easy.

Ai Xue'er quickly got drunk. He stretched and started acting crazy. Seeing him like this, Su Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He went over and carried Ai Xue'er on his back. He said softly.

"Miss, you're drunk. Let's go home quickly."

Ai Xue'er disagreed and shouted loudly.

"Su Mu, you can't take me away. Who are you to me? I want to keep drinking. You have no right to tell me what to do."

But Su Mu pretended not to hear. He pulled Ai Xue'er away and carried her on his back. He walked slowly down the road. Ai Xue'er slowly opened her eyes and saw severe double vision.

Ai Xue'er shook her head; she had a terrible headache. She looked at Su Mu and said...

"Su Mu, where is this place? I want to go back. I want to continue drinking."

Su Mu shook his head, his expression very serious.

"Aisher, you can't drink anymore, your body won't be able to take it."

Just then, Zhou Yin walked over. When Zhou Yin saw Su Mu, his eyes lit up. He hadn't expected to run into Su Mu here. So, Zhou Yin quickly went up to Su Mu and greeted him.

"Su Mu, what a coincidence, what are you doing here?"

Upon hearing Zhou Yin's words, Su Mu froze, his body stiffening. He stopped in his tracks, but quickly pretended not to see Zhou Yin and walked straight over. Ai Xue'er frowned.

Ai Xue'er heard a woman's voice, and she was calling Su Mu's name, but why didn't Su Mu respond to her?

Ai Xueer patted Su Mu's face and said softly.

"Su Mu, can you hear that? Someone is calling you!"

But Su Mu shook his head, coughed twice, and looked at Ai Xue'er.

"Aisher, I didn't hear that? It must be your imagination. Let's go back quickly."

And so, Su Mu quickened his pace. Zhou Yin scratched his head, somewhat puzzled. What did Su Mu mean by this? Why was he ignoring him?

Chapter 261 The Unspeakable Secret

Zhou Yin sighed. Perhaps Su Mu had something difficult to say, so Zhou Yin left directly. Su Mu turned his head and secretly glanced at Zhou Yin.

He was relieved that Zhou Yin was safe, but he had just escaped his ordeal, and the job was too embarrassing to talk about, so Su Mu didn't want Ai Xue'er to know.

If Ai Xue'er overheard their conversation, she would definitely become suspicious, and Su Mu didn't want to get into unnecessary trouble.

Su Mu led Ai Xue'er onward, and soon he took her home. He covered her with a blanket and then tiptoed away.

The next morning, Su Mu arrived downstairs at Ai Xue'er's house. He had been waiting for her, but he was going to be late for work, and Ai Xue'er still hadn't appeared.

What's going on? Su Mu was very nervous. He called Ai Xue'er, but she didn't answer. Where was Ai Xue'er?

Why wouldn't she answer the phone? Su Mu went upstairs and knocked on the door, but there was no response from Ai Xue'er's home. Su Mu clenched his fist and kicked the door open.

Su Mu took a deep breath. He kept looking around and calling out Ai Xue'er's name, but there was no one at Ai Xue'er's house. What was going on?

He clearly brought Ai Xue'er back safely last night. Could someone have kidnapped Ai Xue'er in the hallway?

"Su Mu, this is all the surveillance footage."

Su Mu took a deep breath and looked at the property management staff, speaking loudly.

"This car is very suspicious. Can you see its license plate number?"

The property management staff nodded quickly and turned the car up to its maximum speed. Su Mu noted down the license plate number and began to follow the car along the road. Soon, Su Mu arrived at the warehouse in the eastern suburbs.

Su Mu was panting heavily. He wiped the sweat from his brow. If he wasn't mistaken, Ai Xue'er had been kidnapped and brought here by those people. Su Mu was furious. He slowly walked into the warehouse.

Soon, Su Mu heard Ai Xue'er crying, and he kicked open the warehouse door.

The men in black were startled. What was going on? Why was the warehouse door suddenly opened?

The men in black quickly stood up and said indignantly.

"Who the hell dared to kick the door open? Do they have a death wish?"

The men in black took up their weapons. Su Mu stormed in alone. When Ai Xue'er saw Su Mu, he was overwhelmed with emotion; his eyes filled with tears. He hadn't expected Su Mu to be willing to come here to save him.

.....

Ai Xueer struggled desperately, shaking her head. She wanted Su Mu to leave quickly because these men in black only wanted money.

These men in black repeatedly threatened Ai Xue'er with words. Su Mu took a deep breath and looked at them.

"Release Ai Xue'er right now, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Upon hearing this, the men in black burst into laughter. They curled their lip and looked at Su Mu.

"You're all alone, yet you dare to yell at us. That's outrageous! Today, we'll show you our power."
