Chapter 26 Very Cute
"You work in the Imperial Dynasty, but you help this young lady?" Mo Ruyan's gaze fell on Xie Yue's hand, and then slowly moved to the young man's face.
Mo Ruyan admitted that he was a handsome guy, but he looked too young and lacked a bit of masculinity.
Xie Yue's expression did not change, he just raised his eyes slightly.
The messy lights in the casino cast shadows of varying depths on his well-defined face, making his narrow and long eyes look even deeper.
"The eldest lady said that she would support me after she got out." Xie Yue said calmly, preventing these people from approaching Wen Nianchu. "People die for money, and birds die for fish."
Wen Nianchu looked at Xie Yue who said this seriously.
Wen Nianchu: Hmm?
Is Xie Yue so calm about this kind of thing?
On the other side, Mo Ruyan almost dropped the cigarette in her hand.
"Young people nowadays..." She sneered and looked at Xie Yue again, "To save a few decades of struggle, they even don't care about their dignity?"
Xie Yue remained calm, but secretly increased the strength of his fingers.
The strong man who was restrained by him turned pale with pain, but he gritted his teeth and dared not make a sound.
Mo Ruyan really had never thought that there would be young and handsome guys coming to the imperial era to hook up with rich women.
But the truth is there. It is definitely not as easy for a bodyguard working for a royal family as it is for one to marry a rich woman. But are young people nowadays so accepting of taking shortcuts?
She looked back and forth at the strange young couple.
The girl smiled harmlessly, while the man beside her was as cold as ice. When these two people stood together, there was always a creepy sense of incongruity.
"Interesting." Mo Ruyan was a woman who had seen a lot of things. She suddenly laughed out loud, "Then you two should go together. You won't be scared, will you?"
Wen Nianchu was actually amused by Xie Yue's words just now. The corners of her lips curled up slightly: "Not so scared anymore."
Xie Yue was stunned.
Wen Nianchu noticed his surprise out of the corner of his eye.
She suddenly found Xie Yue quite lovable. He was different from the other men she had met in her previous life. Those men surrounded her and flattered her, saying they wanted nothing but her love. But in reality, they were only after the Wen family's power or her beauty.
But Xie Yue is now much more genuine, not pretentious, and very frank.
It was quite different from the false aloofness she had initially thought.
She studied Xie Yue calmly. The man's angular profile looked particularly stern under the light, yet she found it oddly endearing.
Just like... just like the big dog she had when she was a child, who appeared to be ferocious on the surface, but would secretly run to her side and quietly watch over her until she fell asleep.
I like it a little bit...what should I do?

Wen Nianchu walked to the sofa area, which was now empty.
Mo Ruyan sat down and handed a cigarette to Wen Nianchu.
Wen Nianchu shook his head: "I don't smoke."
"That's right, a girl of your age shouldn't have any worries."
Adults often relieve stress by drinking, smoking and staying up late. Mo Ruyan is one of them. She likes smoking and enjoys the pleasure that the addiction brings, which is similar to the pleasure of a blunt knife grinding against the cerebral cortex.
This thing could paralyze her nerves step by step, allowing her to temporarily forget her past boredom, unhappiness, and anxiety.
Wen Nianchu:
"Sister, you specially invited me here, so I guess you didn't just want to discuss my living habits with me."
Her fingers holding the cigarette paused slightly. Wen Nianchu's call of "sister" actually made Mo Ruyan feel a little comfortable. After all, after all these years of struggling among men, she hadn't heard such a clean and sweet voice in a long time.
So, she opened her red lips slightly, put out the half-smoked cigarette in the ashtray, and watched the spark struggle to go out on the glass:
"You want money?"
"Who doesn't want money?" Wen Nianchu asked back.
Mo Ruyan smiled, as if she felt there was nothing wrong with this answer.
"There are many handsome bodyguards in the Royal Dynasty, why did you pick a green one? If you like, I can introduce you to others. I guarantee they will be good at sex and clingy."
Mo Ruyan was slow to get to the point, which gave Wen Nianchu the feeling that she was just chatting about family matters, but also like she was testing her step by step.
"I only like people who I like. As for others, I don't consider them." Wen Nianchu couldn't talk about this kind of topic so calmly. There were very few topics that made her feel a little embarrassed.
"I almost forgot again, little girls your age only like handsome guys with good grades."
Mo Ruyan said with regret.
Xie Yue stood by the wall, in a row with Mo Ruyan's bodyguards. He still looked like he was working.
But suddenly, his ears moved slightly twice.
He heard footsteps.
Someone is coming.
"I went to ask that old man, and he actually betrayed me. He burned the transaction location information into a USB drive, and it almost leaked out." Bai Yiqiu walked in with his hands in his trouser pockets. As soon as he came in, he saw Wen Nianchu sitting on the sofa. "The old man just said that there was a backup of the USB drive hidden in this imperial era. Damn it."
He was stunned for a moment, then immediately said coldly, "Why did you bring this woman in?"
When Bai Yi Qiu saw Wen Nianchu, he wanted to strangle him to death, so there was no respect for Wen Nianchu in his words.
Mo Ruyan signaled to the man standing behind her, and the man quickly stood in front of Bai Yiqiu and said respectfully, "Master, please come this way. Sister Ruyan wants to talk to the other party alone."
Bai Yi Qiu pointed at the group of men standing behind Mo Ruyan.
“Is this called being alone?”
"Please." The bodyguard said stubbornly.
After Bai Yi Qiu left, Mo Ruyan curled the corners of her lips and looked over.
This was a scheme she and Bai Yiqiu had jointly set up.
And when Bai Yi Qiu was speaking just now, her eyes never left Wen Nianchu, mainly to catch the change in the other party's expression when Bai Yi Qiu mentioned the undercover agent.
What disappointed her was that there was no fluctuation in Wen Nianchu's eyes, as if this news was an insignificant matter.
Then, she saw Wen Nianchu move.
The other party opened his small bag and took something out.
It's a chewing gum.
Mo Ruyan: “…”
Wen Nianchu didn't watch the performance of these people from beginning to end. She didn't like the smell of smoke.
She suddenly remembered what was in her bag, the uneaten chewing gum she had taken from Xie Yue.
She put a piece in and squinted her eyes happily. The minty taste of the chewing gum dispelled the smell of cigarettes that she had been smelling, making her mood much better.
Mo Ruyan really suspected that she was too nervous. Her expression relaxed and she said:
"Miss Wen, I have something more profitable here. Do you want to play with it?"
Wen Nianchu chewed the gum slowly, the coolness of the mint spreading across her tongue. She raised her eyes, met Mo Ruyan's gaze, and raised the corners of her lips slightly:
"Sister, what do you mean by 'something more profitable'?"
