The Beautiful CEO's Close Bodyguard

Chapter 1680: Chapter 1666

After hearing Jian Chunqiu’s words, Long Ang went to turn on the heating. Once it was on, he patted his forehead and said, "I came to the bar and got so busy, I actually forgot to turn on the heating."

No wonder he always felt like there was something left undone; it turned out he hadn’t turned on the heating.

Not long after, the temperature in the room began to rise. Chu Ge noticed that Ming Chong’s scarlet eyes had softened a lot, and his temper wasn’t as aggressive as before.

"Look! Ming Chong is indeed quiet now."

Lin Dong remarked in surprise, turning his gaze to Chu Ge with a hint of admiration in his eyes, "I didn’t expect it; we thought we would have a physical confrontation with Ming Chong, but you resolved it so quickly."

Long Ang also nodded in admiration, "Yeah, Chu Ge, how did you come up with this?"

Lin Dong raised his hand and patted his chest, "Didn’t you hear what Chu Ge said earlier? He specifically learned about Ming Chong and knows his habits, that’s why."

Long Ang looked at Lin Dong with a strange expression, feeling a bit puzzled, as Lin Dong had never spoken up for Chu Ge before. What was going on today?

Lin Dong obviously didn’t realize that his words and deeds had already aroused everyone’s suspicion. He stepped forward and hooked his arm around Chu Ge’s shoulder, as if the two were very familiar.

"Chu Ge, what else do you know? Teach me too?"

Lin Dong laughed heartily; he had always wanted to be genuine friends with Ming Chong. However, Ming Chong seemed to not be fond of him, always giving him a cold shoulder, even though they had already talked it out last time. Ming Chong’s attitude towards him was still indifferent.

He particularly wanted to improve their relationship, but his mind was simple and he had no idea how to go about it.

Now it’s better, as Chu Ge had researched and naturally has some understanding of Ming Chong. If he asked Chu Ge to tell him what to do, wouldn’t it be easy and convenient?

But Chu Ge gently shook his head, "I know what you’re thinking. If you want to improve your relationship, it’s best to discover and explore on your own, then understand by yourself. What others tell you will always be their ideas and intuitions, not yours."

Nearby, Long Ang nodded in agreement, "Chu Ge is right. If you want to get closer to Ming Chong, you should take the initiative to understand his likes and habits. As long as you show sincerity, you will definitely become genuine friends with him."

He paused, turning his head to glance at Ming Chong, who was now quiet due to the temperature rise in the room, curled up alone in a corner, yet her hostility hadn’t reduced at all.

"Alright, since it was just a false alarm, let’s go back."

Jian Chunqiu spoke up, knowing that Ming Chong, even though she was non-human, certainly wouldn’t want people to see her like this. Once her consciousness returns and she sees so many people watching her, she’ll probably feel even worse.

Lin Dong felt a bit awkward after being talked to by Chu Ge and Long Ang. He pursed his lips and stayed quiet, knowing that if he wanted to understand someone, he must personally get to know them. But where would he start, and how could he understand? Besides, Ming Chong didn’t even give him the chance; how could he understand?

The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he felt, staring at Chu Ge’s back with a helpless sigh. Maybe he should ask where to start? Would it work if he asked him?

Thinking this, Lin Dong shook his head, trying to discard those negative thoughts. He quickly caught up, saying, "Don’t walk so fast, wait for me."

The group returned to the Gambling Stone Field, back in the lounge to continue the previous discussion.

Meanwhile, Long Ang stayed at the bar, tending to it. After they left, he breathed a deep sigh of relief, always perceiving Ming Chong as a dangerous presence.

Luckily, the bar wasn’t open for business today. If Ming Chong suddenly went on a rampage during business hours, it would indeed be difficult to control the situation.

"Ming Chong, how are you feeling now?"

Long Ang asked in a soft voice, not daring to approach. Not because he feared Ming Chong would hurt him, but because he feared she might go on a rampage again due to his closeness.

Ming Chong crouched in the corner, silent, with an unfocused gaze.

Long Ang cautiously stepped forward, looking at Ming Chong, lowering his voice gently, "Ming Chong? Do you know who I am?"

Ming Chong still ignored him, but with Long Ang’s proximity, Ming Chong didn’t react, allowing Long Ang’s suspended heart to relax a bit.

He carefully stepped forward again, slowly approaching, "Ming Chong? Look at me, do you recognize me?"

He halted less than a meter away from Ming Chong, "The ground is cold. Shall we go to the room and sit and rest?"

Seeing Ming Chong didn’t reject him, he boldly stepped forward, "Come, stand up, let’s go back to the room."

Before Long Ang’s hand touched Ming Chong, suddenly Ming Chong’s piercing gaze shot over, startling Long Ang, his heart pounding.

He covered his chest, speechless, looking at Ming Chong, "Ming Chong, you constantly scaring people isn’t very nice. If Mr. Chu knows you’re being naughty like this, he’ll be unhappy. When Mr. Chu is unhappy, he won’t like you."

When Mr. Chu was mentioned, stars flickered in Ming Chong’s eyes. Her lips twitched, her face full of grievance.

Her gaze gradually dimmed, "Mr. Chu, where is he?"

At this sound, soft yet mixed with a hint of sobbing, Long Ang knew Ming Chong had regained herself. He let out a long breath, stood up, and wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead, saying to Ming Chong, "Once you learn to behave, he’ll come back."

Ming Chong looked at him skeptically, and the words she wanted to say turned into a mere "oh".

...

Meanwhile, Chu Ge and the others returned to the lounge, sitting around the table, unsure what to say.

Jian Chunqiu was the first to speak, "Where were we just now?"

Lin Dong, lacking memory skills, completely forgot where their conversation left off after the commotion with Ming Chong.

Everyone looked at each other and then turned their gaze to Ye Chen, who appeared bewildered and confused, "Don’t look at me; I’m carefree and don’t usually dwell on things unless they’re really important, so I can’t remember."

Finally, everyone looked toward Chu Ge, who felt somewhat embarrassed, as he did know where they had left off but felt strange with everyone staring at him.

"We were talking about Nangong Yunxi being the Palace Master of Wufeng Palace."

"Right, we were discussing Nangong Yunxi! I tell you, Chu Ge’s mind truly is sharp, just like a businessman, so good at remembering things."
