Just when Xu Gang didn't have much to teach Liu Wentian and felt sowhat embarrassed, a shy girl's voice ca from outside the door, "Hello, may I ask if Mr. Liu is inside??"
Liu Wentian went to open the door and, upon seeing the girl in front of him, smiled and said, "It's you, what brings you here??"
This girl was the sa one that Liu Wentian had encountered at the company last ti, the one who was bullied by her agent, Xie Xiaoyu.
Xie Xiaoyu, upon seeing Liu Wentian, seed a bit tense and, with a slightly red face, said, "Mr. Liu, I would like to invite you to dinner, is that okay??"
"Invite to dinner??" Liu Wentian was stunned, "Why would you want to invite to dinner."
"That day I was being bullied, and it was you who helped . In the end, it was also because of you that I wasn't fired. Therefore, I want to invite you to dinner to thank you," Xie Xiaoyu said, slightly lowering her head with a hint of gratitude.
Liu Wentian laughed and replied, "Of course, a beauty inviting to dinner, I definitely wouldn't refuse."
"Ah??"
Xie Xiaoyu seed startled by Liu Wentian's words, blinked her eyes behind her big black-frad glasses, and asked in confusion, "Beauty, Mr. Liu, are you talking about ??"
As she said this, she looked around, puzzled, as if she couldn't believe that Liu Wentian was talking about her and thus started looking for soone else.
Liu Wentian couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Stop looking, I'm talking about you."
Liu Wentian noticed that this girl seed to have low self-esteem and was extrely introverted; the last ti she was called a bumpkin by that agent, she just lowered her head, clearly heartbroken, and didn't retort.
And now, her behavior clearly showed this as well.
Liu Wentian took another careful look at the girl.
She was tall and slim, probably about 1.73 ters, which made her stand out among other girls.
Her skin wasn't the best compared to Li Chuyue or Bai Ruguo, those top-level beauties with porcelain skin, and she had a few speckles, evidently lacking in skincare.
If one examined her features closely, they would notice that they were actually quite delicate, but the old-fashioned black-frad glasses and her eyes affected by severe short-sightedness diminished their brilliance.
Even so, Xie Xiaoyu was still beauty on a Flower Level, after all, her figure and facial features were there. What was most important was her low self-esteem and introversion, as she seed to feel naturally inferior, always keeping her head down. Her back was slightly hunched, giving off a lack of confidence and a gloomy vibe, which really took away from her charm.
Liu Wentian reached out to grasp her shoulders and gently nudged her back, saying, "Stop hunching, hold your head up high, be confident, you're definitely a beauty. Haha."
Xie Xiaoyu had hardly had any contact with males before. During her school years, because she ca from the countryside and saw her classmates all dressed up, she felt sowhat inferior and reclusive. Now, she was a complete hobody; apart from work, she just stayed at ho, sowhat disconnected from society.
At this mont, when Liu Wentian grasped her shoulders, she felt as though she lted, completely letting Liu Wentian guide her. He told her to raise her head and stand tall, and she did so as if she had received an order from a general, desperately trying to keep her head up and stand tall, though her eyes flitted about, too embarrassed to look at Liu Wentian.
"Uh…"
That's when Liu Wentian realized Xie Xiaoyu's face was red as the sunset, and she was avoiding eye contact with him. It seed as though he was behaving improperly, almost like he was harassing a decent woman?
He felt as though soone was looking at him from behind and, turning around, he saw a group of bodyguards giving him a thumbs up.
Darn it, what did they an by that? He was clearly just trying to boost the girl's confidence!
"Cough cough…"
Seeing that Xie Xiaoyu had raised her head and stood tall, Liu Wentian quickly let go, coughed a few tis, and then said, "Yes, just like that, keep your head high and be confident, you are definitely a beauty."
Xie Xiaoyu's face flushed as she nodded weakly, her voice as faint as a mosquito's, "Okay, Mr. Liu, I… I'm going now. I will invite you for lunch at noon, and I'll find you here after work." Read new chapters at empire
Having said that, she dashed off like a frightened deer, her face still red.
Liu Wentian touched his nose awkwardly; had he really just behaved sowhat improperly without realizing it??
Afterward, he returned to the training room and continued practicing shooting.
But Xie Xiaoyu, who had returned to her seat, was inexplicably bursting into laughter. She, who usually didn't like looking in mirrors, now and then used her phone's selfie function to check her face.
Mr. Liu said I'm a beauty. Am I really a beauty??
Although still sowhat doubtful, a shy smile spread across her face.
The plump girl sitting behind her, puzzled, asked, "Xiaoyu, what's with the happiness? Could it be you've got a boyfriend??"
"Ah?? No, no, how could I possibly have a boyfriend." Xie Xiaoyu jumped, startled, and hurriedly waved her hands, saying.
The plump girl with heavy makeup and a double chin, dressed in branded clothes, nodded, as if confirming to herself, "That's true. I don't even have a boyfriend, how could you? Sigh, I don't understand when I will et my Prince Charming."
Prince Charming?
Hearing this phrase, Xie Xiaoyu, for so reason, thought of Liu Wentian's face, rembered the feeling of his hands on her shoulders, and that tender sensation in her body.
She felt sowhat embarrassed. Why would she think of Mr. Liu? How could Mr. Liu take a fancy to her??
Speaking of which, what relationship do Mr. Liu and Miss Bai have?? That day because of him, Miss Bai directly benched Lv Chun. Could Mr. Liu really just be Miss Bai's bodyguard??
Suddenly, her heart was torn with uncertainty. She really wanted to understand the answer. Then, she started to look forward to the end of the workday, realizing for the first ti that ti could pass so slowly. Finally, when work was over, she imdiately ran to the bodyguard training room.
Seeing her, Liu Wentian ca out.
Xie Xiaoyu almost instinctively asked, "Mr. Liu, what is your relationship with Miss Bai??"
After asking that question, she seed to co to her senses, stunned at herself. When had she beco so nosy? She then watched Liu Wentian nervously, worried she'd be seen as a busybody.
Liu Wentian, however, didn't overthink it and smiled, saying, "Just the relationship between a bodyguard and an employer. She pays money, and I ensure her safety."
"That's a relief," Xie Xiaoyu said, almost as if a weight had been lifted off her chest, her mood lifting. Her usually dull eyes now sparkled with a new liveliness.
"What do you an??" Liu Wentian was sowhat baffled. How did fulfilling his job as a bodyguard equate to 'that's a relief'?
Her face turning slightly red, Xie Xiaoyu quickly said, "N-no… It's nothing, Mr. Liu. I know a Hunan restaurant that's quite nice. Let's go there now. It's a bit far, we need to take the subway and travel for 3 stations."
Liu Wentian laughed, "No need to take the subway, I drove here."
Having said that, he led Xie Xiaoyu towards the parking garage.
At the sa ti, he made a call to Bai Ruguo, ntioning he would be out for a bit at noon. Since the company had a canteen, Bai Ruguo wouldn't go out for lunch, and thus, she didn't question further.
When they reached the parking garage, Xie Xiaoyu saw Liu Wentian's Lamborghini Veneno Roadster and was astonished, asking, "Mr. Liu, is that sports car yours??"
Although she didn't have the imdiate recognition of the car's na and value like Bai Ruguo, she understood that such a sports car would cost at least several million.
Liu Wentian didn't explain much and smiled, saying, "Yeah, that's right. Get in, give the address of that Hunan restaurant, and I'll set up the navigation."
"Okay, sure."
For a mont, Xie Xiaoyu felt her mood dim, believing Liu Wentian to undoubtedly be a super-rich, handso, and wealthy guy from a well-off family, while she was just an ugly country girl. She felt a sense of suffocation and discomfort in her heart.
How could a rich man like him work as a bodyguard for others? Working as Miss Bai's bodyguard was probably just his way of pursuing her.
Right, he was clearly chasing after a big star. She had unreasonably harbored unrealistic fantasies in her heart.
Xie Xiaoyu's face betrayed a profoundly bitter smile.
Driving the car, Liu Wentian followed the address given by Xie Xiaoyu and soon arrived at the Hunan restaurant she had ntioned.
The taste, he thought, wasn't bad, but Xie Xiaoyu seed to have suddenly beco less enthusiastic.
