The Beautiful CEO's Close Bodyguard

Chapter 1665: Chapter 1651

Luo Qi spoke very politely, and there was no fault to pick with these words in anyone’s ears. Ye Liang didn’t know about the awkward relationship between Marquis Ye Mansion and the Beggar Gang. If she didn’t have a mission, even if they really didn’t mind her staying there, she still wouldn’t have stayed.

But now she had more important things to do and had to stay here.

"Boss Luo, you’re too polite. I really don’t know my father’s political stance. Because of my health and family matters before, I never got involved."

Ye Liang used the excuse of her previous self being a fool to shut Feng Luo’s mouth.

Feng Luo knew there was a legitimate daughter in Marquis Ye Mansion who had been foolish since childhood. At that time, there were rumors that Marquis Ye’s many evil deeds led Heaven to give him a foolish daughter as retribution.

But now it seems things weren’t quite that way.

Feng Luo looked at Ye Liang in front of her, not foolish at all. Instead, those pitch-black pupils exuded a shrewd spirit, clearly a smart person.

She pondered for a moment, looked at the plain rice in front of her, and said coldly, "Who knows how the outside world spread these rumors? There are still people calling you a fool. But now you seem very clever, with none of that previous foolishness."

"Feng Luo!" Luo Qi’s face darkened, "Don’t be rude, just eat!"

Feng Luo shrugged, assuming that if she was told to eat, she’d just eat, but there was no need to be so harsh!

She sneered, scooping rice with force to show her protest.

While eating, her observant gaze flitted back and forth between Ye Liang and Little Shunzi.

Little Shunzi noticed Feng Luo’s gaze and felt guilty, turning away. He didn’t know if it was a guilty conscience or something else, but his heart was racing, as if he’d been caught doing something wrong.

Chu Ge sat there silently, eating. He listened to what they said but didn’t take it to heart, just eavesdropping.

Luo Jiu, being a bit thick-skinned, looked around and saw everyone sitting in silence, the atmosphere a bit awkward, so he couldn’t help but want to lift the mood.

"Don’t just focus on eating, everyone, have a drink, let’s welcome Mr. Chu’s friend."

As he spoke, he took the lead in raising his cup. Chu Ge calmly put down his chopsticks and raised his cup, too.

Seeing this, the others slowly picked up their cups, but Feng Luo alone seemed not to have heard what Luo Jiu said, stayed silent, and made no response.

Luo Jiu gave her a look, "Feng Luo, hurry up."

Feng Luo remained indifferent, her hostility toward Ye Liang was palpable.

Luo Qi, sitting beside Feng Luo, nudged her with his elbow, signaling her to quickly pick up her cup, but Feng Luo furrowed her brows and glared at him, unceremoniously saying, "Why make such a fuss over someone not so significant? Aren’t you putting pressure on Miss Ye Liang?"

Ye Liang sat there, a bit embarrassed. She smiled, "Miss Feng Luo is right, my sudden visit has troubled everyone. Here, I apologize to all of you."

"What’s Miss Ye Liang talking about? Feng Luo, hurry and apologize to Miss Ye Liang!" Luo Qi reprimanded her beside her.

What was wrong with Feng Luo today? She used to be very enthusiastic when guests visited, but this time she wasn’t only not warm, but also targeted her in every aspect.

Luo Qi started to wonder if she was jealous. Thinking this, his gaze swept over Chu Ge, Ye Liang, and Feng Luo. That shouldn’t be it; this child was so young, how could she understand matters of love and emotions?

Feng Luo, hearing Luo Qi ask her to apologize to Ye Liang, refused, slamming her chopsticks on the table, "I apologize? Why should I apologize? I did nothing wrong! Why should I apologize?"

She suddenly stood up, pointing at Ye Liang, "Just because she’s the eldest lady of Marquis Ye Mansion? Our Beggar Gang has never paid attention to those officials!"

"Feng Luo!" Luo Qi was completely angry. He usually didn’t see Feng Luo acting so indiscreetly, so why was she suddenly like this today?

"Enough! You don’t need to eat dinner tonight! Go back to your room and reflect!"

Luo Qi was furious.

Feng Luo snorted lightly and cast a cool glance at Ye Liang, "Don’t blame me for not reminding you all, when evaluating people, keep your eyes open. Don’t fall into someone else’s trap!"

With that, she turned and left, walking with imposing force.

Luo Qi watched her leave without looking back, and his anger surged.

Luo Jiu hurriedly comforted him, "I’ll go persuade her, don’t worry, don’t worry, everyone, don’t mind her, I’ll go see what’s going on."

With Feng Luo causing such a scene, Luo Qi lost his appetite for eating, but since Ye Liang and the others were still there, he couldn’t leave.

Ye Liang awkwardly glanced at Chu Ge as if asking, but Chu Ge seemed to ignore it, or rather, he had been eating silently without pause.

She twitched her lips, how did she not realize before that Chu Ge could eat so much!

Little Shunzi quietly nudged Chu Ge, signaling, "Mr. Chu, say something."

Chu Ge looked at him puzzled, "Say what? We don’t talk while eating or sleeping."

Little Shunzi pursed his lips, suddenly not knowing what to do. Since no one was talking, he had nothing much to say either.

If everyone was awkward, then let them be awkward. Little Shunzi looked at the food in front of him, and though he had no appetite, if he didn’t fill his stomach, he’d surely be hungry at midnight.

Finally, he directly picked up his bowl and began eating heartily.

Luo Qi, seeing this, hurriedly chimed in, "We’re eating; we’re eating. Miss Ye Liang, eat quickly, eat more, it’s just simple fare, don’t mind."

Ye Liang smiled, but looking at the food in front of her, she lost her appetite.

She grudgingly moved her chopsticks but didn’t really eat, but Chu Ge, from the moment he sat down, never put his chopsticks down.

After the meal, Ye Liang helplessly looked at Chu Ge, "Chu Ge, it seems Miss Feng Luo isn’t very welcoming toward me?"

Chu Ge glanced at the starry sky. Since coming to this time and space, he looked at the sky every night. The night sky here was different from their time; it was full of stars, very bright, and really beautiful.

Chu Ge sighed, "That little girl has been spoiled since childhood; don’t stoop to her level."

Ye Liang shrugged, "If I really wanted to stoop to her level, I wouldn’t have endured until now."

She found her temper had improved a lot, Ye Liang looked down at her hands, maybe it was because she had been away from her life as an assassin for too long?

Although she hadn’t taken on many assignments to kill, she always completed her missions very well, never leaving any loose ends, except this time...

Ye Liang side-glanced at Chu Ge, her brows slightly furrowing...
