24: Chapter 23 Life is Like a Play 24: Chapter 23 Life is Like a Play Following that, Ao Xue behaves as if she’s blocking Mu Chen out entirely, pretending not to hear whatever Mu Chen says, and quietly maintains her beautiful composure.
“We’re here, the CEO’s office is inside.” Ao Xue seriously says to Mu Chen.
“Ao Xue, my beauty, aren’t you worried you won’t find a boyfriend with such a cold attitude?”
“It’s none of your business.” Ao Xue responds as she turns to leave.
“Spicier by the minute, I like that, especially that butt of yours.
The way you move it, very nice.” Mu Chen watches Ao Xue’s voluptuous figure and comnts with a smile.
However, right after Mu Chen lants, he imdiately enters the CEO’s office, preferring to tease Liu Yuxi over the beautiful goddess, Ao Xue.
“Don’t you know how to knock?” Liu Yuxi frowns as she looks at Mu Chen from her office seat.
At this mont, Liu Yuxi is wearing a black lace dress with densely packed stripes at the chest, adding a touch more allure.
Paired with her fair, beautiful face, she leaves Mu Chen involuntarily swallowing his saliva.
For a woman to be this stunning, she truly has no rivals.
But Mu Chen quickly recovers and says earnestly, “I don’t have that habit, although I know it’s a bad one.
But I still do it because I think that in front of Yu Xi, we should be intimate and loving towards each other.”
“Shaless.
Can’t you get rid of your indecent rogue image so that I might think better of you?”
“Can’t do.
I have to be myself; that’s the true color of a hero.”
“You…
Forget it, I’m not in the mood to argue with you today.
I called you here for two things.”
“What are they?”
“Firstly, you might not like it, but I have to tell you, working in the sales departnt is just a cover.
Your real job is as a bodyguard for Qingcheng International.”
“What do you an?” Mu Chen frowns, sensing a bad feeling.
“It ans you’re still a bodyguard, the kind that protects our safety.”
“No way, it’s too much trouble.
I’m not interested.” Mu Chen imdiately rejects.
“Then I’m sorry, if you don’t want the job, then leave.
Qingcheng International does not support useless people, even if you did save .
I’ll repay that favor in another way.”
“Yu Xi, are you really being this ruthless?”
“Absolutely ruthless.”
“There’s no room for consideration?”
“None whatsoever.”
“I want to know, as a bodyguard, who exactly am I protecting?”
“, Ao Xue, and Tong Lisha.” Liu Yuxi says seriously.
“Really?” Mu Chen’s eyes light up, his listlessness replaced with boundless enthusiasm.
“Yes, and you’ll be protecting us covertly in the company.
Recently, soone has targeted us, and I had no choice but to make this arrangent.”
“Don’t explain further.
Your safety is my responsibility.
I’m on it.” Mu Chen says earnestly.
After all, being a bodyguard isn’t the sa as being a security guard.
He just needs to protect a few people covertly.
He can manage that.
Besides, these are major beauties, the company’s top three.
Cultivating feelings with them will fill each day with motivation.
Not bad at all.
“Mu Chen, our main office is on the sixteenth floor.
I hope you’ll protect us well.”
“Don’t worry, I always keep my word.”
“That’s more like it.”
“Alright, what’s the second matter?”
“I want you to marry .” Liu Yuxi says seriously.
“Are—are you not joking?” Mu Chen rapidly retreats, steadying himself against a nearby sofa, his expression changing.
“No joke.”
“Do we have feelings for each other?”
“None.”
“How many tis have we t?”
“Today’s the second ti.”
“So, did you forget to take your ds before you left ho today?”
“Get lost.
Just answer this: will you marry or not?”
“Marry, of course I’ll marry.
A great beauty is offering herself up to , I’d be a fool to say no.”
“Then that’s settled, we’ll go through the formalities tomorrow.” Liu Yuxi says nonchalantly.
“You’re really serious, aren’t you!” Mu Chen’s heart skips a beat, realizing Liu Yuxi is earnest.
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“My father is forcing to marry soone I don’t like, so I might as well just get married straight away.
This way, he can’t interfere with anymore.
It’s as simple as that.”
“The reason is barely passable, but I’m curious, what do you see in ?”
“First, you’re strong, so you can protect without any issue.
Second, you’ve saved before, and although you’re rogue, you’re not a bad person.
Marrying you would put my mind at ease.”
“Marrying this rogue would be the real deal for not keeping at ease, wouldn’t it!” Mu Chen swallows hard.
“Don’t get too excited.
Although we’re getting married, it’s a fake marriage, just to appease my father.” Liu Yuxi states seriously.
“What?
What do you take for?
So many innocent girls and wives want to marry .
Now you’re talking about a fake marriage.
What about my pride?
I refuse.”
“I’ll provide for you, along with a salary of one hundred thousand a month.”
“Let think about it…”
“I can tell you so things about Tong Lisha and Ao Xue, help you get to know them better, to aid your flirting.”
“Alright, that’s more like it.”
“Get lost.
Take it or leave it.” Liu Yuxi loses her temper, furious with Mu Chen.
“Plus, you can’t restrict my flirting or control – that’s what I fear most with won.”
“Fine, but you must also promise not to reveal any news about our marriage.”
“Agreed.”
“Mu Chen, thank you.” Liu Yuxi suddenly expresses her gratitude.
“No need to thank .
How about a kiss to show your gratitude?” Mu Chen says with a smile.
“Get lost…
as if I never said anything…”
“Who’s your father?”
“He used to manage Qingcheng International, but handed it over to two years ago.”
“So he’s quite a notable figure then.”
“Yes, exactly.”
“Do you get along well?”
“Not really, I don’t acknowledge him.”
“If you don’t acknowledge him, then why worry about him getting you married off?”
“He’s still my father.
I don’t want to be bothered by him constantly.”
“Who was he trying to marry you off to?”
“So young master from Yundu.
I don’t know the specifics.”
“Yundu, it figures.” Mu Chen is unsurprised.
“So Mu Chen, marrying isn’t a joke.
You’d better prepare for the worst.”
“I like a challenge, and there’s no one in this world that I’m afraid of.”
“Sotis, I feel you’re quite reliable.”
“So, are we husband and wife now?” Mu Chen suddenly smiles, stepping closer to Liu Yuxi.
“What are you doing?”
“Since we’re going to get married, shouldn’t we start building our relationship early?” Mu Chen says as he gets within a ter of Liu Yuxi.
“If you dare lay a finger on , consider everything I said null and void.”
“…”
Mu Chen, feeling like crying but unable to, had no luck teasing Liu Yuxi and quickly returns to his departnt.
