Chapter 12 Warm as Spring, Beautiful Scenery
The man was wearing a light blue casual shirt that perfectly accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist.
His handsome eyes always held a melancholy depth, and his black, tousled hair playfully fell across his forehead, adding to his unrestrained and dashing charm.
The afternoon sun shone perfectly on him, outlining a soft, dazzling golden edge...
"Is he your grandson?" Wen Ni blurted out.
"That's right, it's him, the real deal, my grandson, Lu Jinye."
Lu Jianxun's smile faded slightly, and he became a little more formal. "The other day at the clubhouse, you were the one who saved Xiao Ye when we encountered thugs, right? Come to think of it, I haven't properly thanked you yet!"
"So you already knew?"
"Of course, otherwise, why do you think we sent you to be a bodyguard this time? It was me who specifically asked for you from the higher-ups. Although I don't know which department you belong to, it's not hard to see that Deputy Captain Fang and Chief Instructor Lu are very confident in your abilities. That's why I feel at ease entrusting my grandson's safety to you."
It turns out that everything was not a coincidence, but a deliberate arrangement...
"Don't let his glamorous appearance and wealthy background fool you; he's actually suffered a lot since childhood. His parents and I, due to our special status, neglected to protect him, which led to him falling into the hands of his enemies time and time again..."
"No wonder he has so many old wounds." At this moment, Wen Ni finally understood the origin of those wounds.
"Hmph! Just thinking about those reckless bastards makes me want to skin them alive! If it weren't for them causing Ono's illness, he would be an excellent soldier like his parents now!"
When Lu Jianxun mentioned these things, his expression became extremely serious and ruthless!
However, seemingly considering that Wen Ni was still nearby, he concealed his complex emotions and smiled again...
"But young comrade, how did you know Ono was injured? It seems your relationship is more intimate than I thought?"
"..."
Wen Ni was speechless for a moment.
She suddenly remembered that on the day they escaped in the car, Lu Jinye refused to let Qin Yuan find reinforcements, perhaps because he was afraid that the old man would worry if he knew about his injury, so she couldn't tell him that she had performed surgery on him.
"Grandpa, Barron said you need to see me urgently?"
Lu Jinye also entered at this moment.
Just then, I saw the girl standing with her grandfather in the main hall.
She was still dressed in a black business suit, with a high ponytail, an oval face, and bright, seemingly expressive eyes. Her makeup was much lighter than the other day, making her look even more pure and beautiful...
But how did she end up here?
Lu Jinye's eyebrows were slightly raised.
After they parted that day, he thought they would never see each other again.
"Xiao Ye, this is the bodyguard your superiors assigned to you. He's temporarily responsible for protecting your safety, and should be here until September at the latest. I heard from Xiao Fang that she seems to be going to the medical university to report for duty in September?"
Lu Jianxun seemed a little uncertain. After speaking, he stood up and yawned, "You young people chat, I'm tired, I'm going to rest!"
"Take care, Mr. Lu."
"Sigh, goodbye, goodbye..."
As the sound of faltering footsteps faded away, only Wen Ni and Lu Jinye remained in the main hall.
Are you currently serving in the military?
"yes."
"Isn't it a mess hall? When did it become a combat unit?" Lu Jinye sat on the sofa, his long legs crossed, staring at her leisurely.
He was clearly making fun of her by bringing up the news interview.
"Aren't you a big star? When did you become a third-generation military officer?" Wen Ni asked him in return.
"You should be glad I'm a third-generation military family member and have the ability to intercept information. Otherwise, if the news of someone hacking into the corporate network got out, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause?"
"...?" He actually knew it was her who did it?
A slight crack appeared on Wen Ni's indifferent face. "Mr. Lu, don't forget who saved your life."
Threaten her with that? He's truly repaying kindness with enmity!
"Of course I haven't forgotten."
"It's good that you haven't forgotten." Wen Ni raised her chin, her powerful aura making her stand out from the crowd. "Just now, Grandpa Lu said he would pay me a reward, but I refused because I thought the person I was supposed to protect was him."
"And now? You see that the person you're supposed to protect is me, so you've changed your mind?" Lu Jinye raised his cold eyes.
"That's right."
"How much do you want?" Lu Jinye picked up his teacup.
How much can you give?
"Two hundred thousand?" he probed deliberately.
"Is your life so worthless?" Wen Ni didn't bother with him and simply held up five fingers. "For the sake of Old Master Lu, I'll give you a 50% discount. 500,000, no bargaining."
"You really dare to ask for a high price." He took a sip of tea, pushed the teacup back onto the table, and then said, "Deal."
"It's a pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Lu."
"It's a pleasure doing business with you..."
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Wen Ni. Wen means warm as spring and Ni means beautiful scenery."
"Wen Ni, a good name."
He called out softly and extended his hand politely to her.
She didn't shake his hand back, but just gave him a cold nod before turning around and leaving gracefully!
Behind him, his lips curled up slightly, a hint of interest in them.
Not far away, around the corner of the corridor, Lu Jinbai, who was returning from school, couldn't help but stop and stare longingly at Wen Ni's departing figure.
"Butler, who is that woman? It's a once-in-a-century occurrence. My brother actually has an interest in female creatures."
"Young master, you've misunderstood. That's a new guard," the butler said with a smile.
"Just a bodyguard? I don't think so!" Lu Jinbai's bright and cheerful face was full of meaning. "Finally, someone can stir up my brother's emotions. I'm afraid there will be a good show to watch from now on!"
"..."
that's all,
On the eve of the New Year, Wen Ni naturally became Lu Jinye's bodyguard.
"Today is the last rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala. From the moment we arrive at the venue, everyone must be fully focused!"
Inside the moving van, assistant Xiao Wu repeatedly gave instructions, her fingers delicately gesturing.
An untimely, soft snore suddenly broke the silence, causing everyone in the car to look towards the last row.
Wen Ni, dressed in a plain black business suit, lay there.
She occupied a whole row of seats by herself and was fast asleep...
"...I mean, is she really a bodyguard sent from above?"
Assistant Xiao Wu frowned, still somewhat unwilling to believe the fact.
No matter how I look at it, this young girl seems unreliable!
“It’s hard to believe, but she is indeed a tenured employee,” Qin Yuan replied quietly.
Lu Jinye, who was sitting next to him, didn't even turn his head.
As the car gradually slowed down and came to a stop...
He glanced out the window, his thin lips parted slightly, and his deep, magnetic voice said, "We've arrived at the scene."
"Whoosh—"
Wen Ni, who had just been sleeping soundly, opened the car door and jumped out with great enthusiasm.
"Whose car is this?"
"Why does this look like Lu Jinye's car? But why is there a female bodyguard in Lu Jinye's car?!"
Fans and reporters waiting outside the studio eagerly watched.
