Chapter 1072: 1072 The Other Shore Flower Heather (96)
"..." Heather was completely speechless.
But...
It seed... indeed... possible.
This street was pretty chaotic, filled with all sorts of shady characters. She barely sat here for a mont and already ran into three thugs.
Perhaps so gang mbers spotted a well-dressed rich guy sitting here and got the idea to kidnap him. That would be... kind of absurd.
"Alright," she nodded, "then go ahead and eat. I’ll sit here and keep you company."
The landlady poured her a bowl of hot tea and handed it over: "Miss, it’s cold out, have so hot tea to warm your stomach while you wait."
The landlady looked at Nian Shen, wanting to say sothing but swallowed her words.
But then, suddenly decided to speak: "Your girlfriend is really impressive! Just now, a few thugs tried to take advantage of her, but she drove them off."
Heather froze: "We’re not—"
Why would anyone think they were a couple?
Usually, people wouldn’t see it that way. Most would think she wasn’t worthy of him; if anything, she looked more like a bodyguard.
"She is quite impressive," Nian Shen suddenly chid in, "if she were my girlfriend, I wouldn’t need to worry about her walking alone at night."
His statent was actually ambiguous, not confirming that she was his girlfriend.
"Exactly, it seems she’s always the one protecting others. But that’s good too; you can’t always have soone around to protect you. Being able to protect yourself is the best."
Nian Shen continued eating his noodles. Heather sat off to the side, feeling a little bored, and asked, "How much money do you have on you?"
"Why?"
"Nothing, I just want a rough estimation of what your life is worth."
"Not much cash, mostly cards."
She chuckled and didn’t say anything else.
Alright, she used to have a lot of money too, but now she was back in the Period of absolute poverty, almost beyond broke.
However, she had plenty of determination; poverty wasn’t enough to crush her.
After a while, Nian Shen asked again, "Really don’t want to consider being my bodyguard? Honestly, being my bodyguard isn’t that exhausting. Linyang’s public security isn’t that bad. Your daily task would just be being by my side. It wouldn’t involve that many kidnapping attempts or robbery cases. This money is easy to earn."
"I’m not afraid of hardship, I just don’t want to."
"Why?"
Nian Shen spoke while gazing directly at her.
Heather t his gaze and felt a little dazed.
After a few seconds, she shook her head: "Nothing, I just don’t want to."
Was she afraid of sothing?
Yes, she was. She couldn’t stop herself from blurring the lines between this man and Ah Nian whenever she looked at him for too long. Why that was, she couldn’t say.
She couldn’t stay beside him. She couldn’t control herself.
If she stayed too long, no one knew what might happen.
"Alright," he finally nodded, "I won’t force you. But I can tell you this offer remains open. If you ever change your mind, you can co find
anyti."
"Why? I still don’t understand why you want . If you’re looking for a bodyguard, there are companies that specialize in introducing them."
"I saw you at first glance. I didn’t dislike you, so I chose you."
"..."
It’s not like this was matchmaking...
Why would finding a bodyguard depend on first impressions?
Of course, she was just griping about these thoughts in her head; she wouldn’t say them to his face.
At that mont, Yi Yang suddenly stepped out of the car, approached Nian Shen, and said with a slightly grim expression, "Mr. Nian... this isn’t good..."
