The Beautiful CEO's Close Bodyguard

Chapter 1732: Chapter 1718

"Alright, what’s the use of saying this now? You’d better think of a solution quickly."

Luo Qi said.

"What solution? The words have already been spoken." Luo Jiu sat to the side, frustrated, and sighed in self-reproach.

"Actually, you don’t need to worry." At this moment, Chu Ge spoke up.

"Mr. Chu has a good method?"

Luo Qi and Luo Jiu both looked at Chu Ge expectantly.

Chu Ge shook his head slightly, "What good method could there be? The words have already been said. I just think that Ye Liang won’t tell her father the issues you’re worried about."

"Mr. Chu is so sure?" Luo Qi was even more puzzled.

Chu Ge nodded, "I’m sure. Her relationship with her father isn’t as good as you think."

He couldn’t tell them that Ye Liang, like him, came from another time and space, so he had to find another excuse, "Don’t forget, when Ye Liang was still considered a fool, the Marquis Ye Mansion was very unkind to her, and her father even regarded her as a burden. Now, even though she’s no longer foolish, do you think after all they’ve done to her in the past, she would really consider them her family?"

Luo Qi glanced at Luo Jiu. Although that’s how it was, blood is thicker than water. But what if Ye Liang, to please Marquis Ye, decided to tell him the information on her own?

On second thought, it seemed unlikely. If Ye Liang really wanted to secure a place in the Marquis Ye Mansion, she wouldn’t have just proposed to leave willingly. Also, from her appearance, she doesn’t seem like someone who would curry favor and act servile.

Luo Qi shook his head slightly, thinking he might have overthought it.

After leaving the hall, Ye Liang returned to her own courtyard, where she stayed with Chu Ge and Little Shunzi.

She hadn’t seen Little Shunzi since early morning, so he was likely still sleeping. After entering the courtyard, she headed directly towards Little Shunzi’s room.

But she had only taken a few steps when she suddenly saw a petite figure at the corridor in front of Chu Ge’s room.

Ye Liang halted and then saw clearly who it was.

Feng Luo.

"Miss Feng Luo, are you waiting for Chu Ge?" Ye Liang greeted her proactively.

Feng Luo sat leisurely, lazily lifted her gaze to Ye Liang, and slightly curled her lips into a smile, "I know Chu Ge is in the hall. I’m just wandering around out of boredom."

She was indeed there to see Chu Ge, to wait for him precisely, but she hadn’t expected to see Ye Liang instead.

Ye Liang noticed that Feng Luo wasn’t particularly welcoming, so she smiled slightly before turning towards Little Shunzi’s door. She was about to knock when the door suddenly opened.

Little Shunzi came out yawning, and seeing Ye Liang at the door, he paused in surprise, "Lady Ye? So early, is there something you need from me?"

He was always respectful towards Ye Liang.

Ye Liang nodded lightly, "I have something for you to do. Let’s talk inside."

Saying it outside wasn’t convenient with Feng Luo around.

But Little Shunzi stood awkwardly at the door, blocking Ye Liang’s entry. It was a man’s room after all, and certainly not clean. Letting Ye Liang in would be embarrassing for him.

"Um, Lady Ye, if you have any instructions, you can tell me directly." Little Shunzi chuckled awkwardly, "The room’s a bit messy, better not come in."

Ye Liang pursed her lips and glanced slightly towards where Feng Luo was, only to find Feng Luo’s silhouette gone, feeling a bit puzzled. Did Feng Luo leave?

Good if she left; there’d be no need to worry.

"Little Shunzi, do you want to go home?"

Ye Liang asked.

Little Shunzi looked at Ye Liang in confusion. Was it that Ye Liang no longer needed him to monitor Chu Ge? But on second thought, it made sense; now that Ye Liang was in the Beggar Gang herself, she didn’t need him for many things.

He rubbed his hands and laughed more cheerfully, "Lady Ye, you’re such a joker. Of course, I want to go home, very much so."

He really wanted to go home immediately and sweetly embrace his beautiful wife.

Ye Liang smiled slyly, "Help me with just one more thing and you can go home."

Little Shunzi’s smile froze. He should have anticipated that it couldn’t be this simple.

He pursed his lips and hesitantly asked, "Lady Ye, what do you want me to do?"

Ye Liang pondered for a moment before speaking, "Join the army."

"What!" Little Shunzi exclaimed as Ye Liang finished, "Lady Ye, did I hear you wrong? Just now, did you say you wanted me to do what?"

Ye Liang sneered, "You didn’t hear wrong. This is the last thing I require of you."

Little Shunzi’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He pressed his lips together, looking troubled at Ye Liang, taking a long time to process her words.

"If you enlist, you can’t return home for at least three years! Besides, I don’t want to enlist right now. Weapons have no eyes, the battlefield is gruesome. If I go, I might not survive!"

Little Shunzi looked at Ye Liang in horror, unable to fathom her intention. At one point she had him track Chu Ge; now she wanted him to enlist. If this continued, he felt he might end up losing his life.

"Look, Lady Ye, maybe you’ve misunderstood our situation here. Initially, you had me track Chu Ge, which I did as you asked. Now you want me to enlist; could you give me a reasonable explanation?"

Little Shunzi regretted it now. He shouldn’t have accepted Ye Liang’s offer for selfish desires, ending up not fitting in anywhere.

"What reason could there be? Of course, it’s for you to continue monitoring Chu Ge."

Suddenly, a sweet voice came from the side.

Ye Liang’s heart skipped a beat. She turned abruptly to see Feng Luo sitting in the same spot, playfully kicking her legs, "Little Shunzi, enlistment starts today. Since Chu Ge is joining the army, you must follow. Otherwise, how would you complete the surveillance task?"

Ye Liang clenched her hand tightly at her side, "Weren’t you already gone?"

Feng Luo looked at Ye Liang, her face showing a hint of malice and smiled, "How did you know I left? Besides, which eye of yours saw me leave? I haven’t even seen Chu Ge, so how could I leave?"

Ye Liang pursed her lips into a tight line, her eyes full of suppressed anger, "Miss Feng Luo, if you could pretend not to have heard what I just said, I can assure your safety."

Feng Luo raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Pretend not to have heard? Alas, Luo and my Uncle Nine never taught me to lie. If I heard it, I heard it; only if I truly hadn’t heard it could I say otherwise."

She lazily leaned against the pillar, chuckling softly, "The thing is, I heard every single word of your conversation just now."
