After a blind date, a wealthy heir asked me to marry him.

After returning to the study hall, Lu Shiyi was still wondering if those men in black were hiding there waiting for her to get off work so they could ambush her.

She wondered, should I just call the police?

But what if I'm just overthinking it?

Or, should we go and meet them now?

But what if they really are gangsters hired by Lu Linping?

Although I had some experience in Sanda (Chinese kickboxing), my opponents were several tall, burly men, most likely all skilled fighters. One person couldn't possibly fight against four opponents...

After thinking it over, Lu Shiyi decided to wait until her husband arrived before making a decision.

Fortunately, she had promised her husband to pick her up and drop her off at get off work around noon.

Lu Shiyi laughed at herself, "So even you, Lu Shiyi, have moments of backing down!"

In recent times, especially with the events back in her hometown, she has unconsciously developed trust in her husband, Fu Cheng.

Perhaps she hasn't realized it yet...

In the evening, Fu Cheng drove up in his Buick.

As soon as he entered, Lu Shiyi immediately greeted him, "Mr. Fu, please come in and sit on the sofa."

Fu Cheng was a little puzzled. When did his wife become so enthusiastic towards him?

Looking at her expression, which was a mix of excitement and restraint, Fu Cheng couldn't figure out why his wife would suddenly act this way.

He walked to the sofa with a slight hesitation and sat down.

Lu Shiyi then sat down next to her husband.

Fu Cheng looked at his wife and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Shiyi didn't answer directly, but said, "I've been waiting for you all afternoon, you've finally arrived."

Fu Cheng raised an eyebrow, even more curious, "Waiting for me?"

He said, "You can contact me anytime if you need anything, you don't have to wait here like this."

But he couldn't help thinking about the value of emotions that his grandfather had told him before. Ever since he mentioned this to his wife, she has been taking the initiative to contact him whenever she needs something.

I have to say, sometimes it's worth listening to what Grandpa says.

Lu Shiyi moved closer to her husband, bringing them even closer together.

She replied, "No need, it's the same as telling you now."

Feeling his wife's gentle breath in his ear, Fu Cheng unconsciously sat up straight.

At the same time, with an expression of complete attentive listening, he asked, "What is it?"

Lu Shiyi leaned closer to him, lowered his voice, and slowly said, "I've discovered that Lu Linping seems to have hired thugs from the underworld to steal cats near me!"

Fu Cheng turned his head in surprise and looked at his wife.

Lu Shiyi nodded firmly at him, the unspoken message being: You heard me right, I'm talking about gangsters.

But Fu Cheng still asked, "A gangster thug?"

Lu Shiyi hummed in agreement and said, "When I took Yao Yao home this afternoon, I accidentally caught a glimpse of several of them. They were all wearing black suits and were tall and burly. They were probably hired by Lu Linping."

Fu Cheng frowned, listening to his wife's description, it sounded so much like...

He arranged for several bodyguards to secretly protect his wife near her study room that afternoon.

He said, "Why didn't you tell me then?"

Lu Shiyi replied, "Telling you now won't make a difference. They've been hiding and haven't come out. They're probably just waiting to intercept me on my way home from work. Telling you in advance will only affect your commute to work."

Fu Cheng thought to himself, "How can that be the same?"

If you let him know in advance, he can have his bodyguards withdraw or move to a more secluded location.

But now...

Fu Cheng rubbed his forehead, unsure whether to criticize his bodyguard's poor skills or praise his wife's quick thinking.

He asked Lu Shiyi, "So what do you plan to do?"

Lu Shiyi said with a smile, "I plan to go over there together later. I'll go ahead and negotiate with them to figure out the situation, while you stay behind me and provide cover. If you find anything wrong, call the police immediately."

Fu Cheng: "..."

For some reason, he didn't see any fear on his wife's face; instead, he saw more excitement.

He asked, "Aren't you afraid? And you even arranged to be the first to go."

"I was scared, so I waited for you to come before I dared to negotiate with them."

"Don't you think this is exciting? I've never dealt with the underworld before in my entire life."

Fu Cheng: "…………"

It was stimulating, but the kind of stimulation she described was different from what he felt.

After Lu Shiyi finished speaking, before her husband could react, she grabbed his wrist and headed for the door. "Come on, let's go and meet them now."

Fu Cheng was forced to follow behind his wife, letting her pull him toward the door.

To be honest, he wasn't worried that his bodyguard would reveal his identity, since he had chosen his own bodyguard, who was at least intelligent enough.

He just felt that it would be too awkward later.

As for who is embarrassed, that's anyone's guess.

At this moment, the bodyguards who were diligently crouching down to protect their young mistress were unaware that the person in question was walking towards them.

It wasn't until one of the bodyguards went to check the direction of the study hall as usual that they discovered that the young mistress was almost in front of them.

The key point is that Young Madam was followed by Young Master Fu.

Instantly, everyone stood up straight.

They didn't know what had happened, so they could only stand at attention and remain silent.

Until Lu Shiyi walked up to them.

The voice, though cute, was fierce: "You were sent by Lu Linping, right? Tell me, what do you want?"

At the same time, he was holding up his phone, saying, "Let me tell you, I'm live streaming right now. You'd better think twice before you say or do anything."

Fu Cheng, standing behind her, glanced at his phone screen.

It wasn't a live stream at all; his wife hadn't even unlocked her phone.

He stood behind Lu Shiyi, watching quietly.

Fu Cheng never expected that one day, his bodyguard would be caught red-handed by his wife.

The bodyguards stood there blankly, remaining silent.

They didn't even dare to glance at their young master Fu.

However, at least they now know that the young mistress has not discovered their identities, nor does she know what they are doing here.

Are you all mute?

Lu Shiyi was a little impatient, and also a little confused.

These men look quite fierce, but at this moment they don't have the air of gangsters at all, and what's the meaning of their silence?

Just as she was about to ask more questions, one of them spoke up.

“We weren’t hired by Lu Linping. We’re bodyguards. We’re here to protect the people we’re supposed to protect.”

"Bodyguard? Protector?"

Lu Shiyi was a little confused.

She asked, "Then why do you guys keep peeking at me in the study hall?"

The bodyguard pointed in the direction of the study hall and said, "We're protecting the people inside."

Lu Shiyi followed the gaze and saw a Hilton Hotel not far from the direction of her study room.

"So the people you're protecting are at the Hilton Hotel?"

The bodyguard neither denied nor confirmed, but simply put on a tough front and said, "This is our professional secret, and we cannot disclose it."

"So you really weren't hired by Lu Linping?"

The bodyguard nodded and said firmly, "No!"

At the same time, he also stole a glance at Fu Cheng behind Lu Shiyi, their young master Fu.

He thought to himself, "His performance should be alright. The young mistress didn't notice anything unusual, and he can continue to carry out the protection mission. He shouldn't get fired by the boss, right?"

Realizing her misunderstanding, Lu Shiyi quickly put away her phone, smiled at the bodyguards, and said, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake. You can continue to protect me then, I won't bother you any longer."

As he spoke, he winked at Fu Cheng beside him, then turned and walked towards the study hall.

So embarrassing...
