Chapter 1129: 1129 Heather of the Other Shore Flower Sea (153)
Qu Leqi stayed inside for almost an hour, during which Heather moved a bit farther away, standing about as close as Yi Yang.
It was probably to avoid suspicion, fearing she might overhear sothing she wasn’t supposed to.
Yi Yang had already figured out her thoughts and said with a smile, "Miss Hai, you’re not afraid of overhearing sothing, are you?"
Heather shrugged, "Even though I’m not sure if I would, better to steer clear just in case."
"I don’t think you will," Yi Yang replied. "Mr. Nian is still hurt, even if he wanted to—his body wouldn’t allow it."
"Really?" Heather thought for a mont and said, "Just now, I thought he looked pretty good, his injuries don’t seem serious, and he should be fine."
What Yi Yang said to comfort her wasn’t wrong; Mr. Nian was indeed unhard. His robust physique wasn’t for nothing, nor were those muscles built for show. Clearly, he exercised often, and his constitution was excellent.
"No way."
"Hmm?" Yi Yang’s confident tone felt a bit odd to Heather.
"No, what I an is, Mr. Nian wouldn’t jeopardize his own health like that."
Just as they were talking, the door opened, and Qu Leqi ca out, adjusting her sunglasses. She strutted over to them with a high-and-mighty air and stopped directly in front of Heather.
"Heather," she said pointedly, "you better keep Mr. Nian safe for . If anything happens to him, don’t think I’ll let you off!"
Heather let out a cheeky whistle.
This "show of authority" was utterly unimpressive—it was almost comical.
Honestly, she was just trying to save face after feeling humiliated earlier, throwing around so empty threats before leaving.
Heather would protect Mr. Nian with all her might—it didn’t require her saying another word.
Once Qu Leqi left, Yi Yang exhaled deeply, grinning. "That Miss Qu really is infamous for her drama. It’s like she can’t go a single day without stirring trouble; she just doesn’t know how to stay quiet."
Heather hadn’t responded yet when he added, "I really don’t understand our boss’s taste in won—how did he end up fancying soone like her?"
"Pfft..." Heather couldn’t help but burst into a radiant laugh—it was her first ti hearing Yi Yang talk about Mr. Nian like this. "Yi Yang, aren’t you worried about dissing your boss like that? Aren’t you afraid he’ll fire you?"
"Relax! We’re standing so far away; he can’t hear us anyway. The boss doesn’t have superhuman hearing, does he? What’s there to worry about?"
You really had to wonder—if Mr. Nian found out, what would he think?
"Personally, I think Miss Hai is so much better than Miss Qu—clear in her values, not pretentious, generous, and genuinely good-natured. Honestly, they’re not even the sa league."
"Hey... Yi Yang, don’t think flattering
will get you anywhere. Just because I’m Mr. Nian’s bodyguard doesn’t an I’ll protect you along with him. You’ll need to pay up for that," she joked.
Truthfully, she did feel a bit bad about him getting hurt.
After all, everything could’ve been avoided—it didn’t have to happen.
"Seriously? Then I guess I’ll have to chip in so money too. After all, being close to Mr. Nian can be pretty dangerous—earning money but not living long enough to spend it wouldn’t be great. Miss Hai, I hope you’ll also look out for
in the future?"
"Haha," Heather was genuinely amused by him, patting his shoulder. "Alright, in the future, stay behind —don’t wander off. If there’s danger, I’ll handle it."
She smiled and lowered her head, not realizing that Yi Yang was watching her side profile, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Don’t worry, Miss Hai. If there’s danger, I’ll protect you.
After all, his life had already been given to him by soone else—and it was never ant to be lived for himself anymore.
