Beauty and the Bodyguard
chapter-906

“Yes, how will you regain your powers?” Chen Yushu asked in a panic, “I read in martial arts novels that when the male protagonist’s powers are gone, he must cultivate with a woman, is it true? Does Yaoyao sis need to give herself to you?”

“Pff…” Lin Yi almost laughed. This little girl was a treasure! Lin Yi was used to her energetic personality and he didn’t want to leave, but there were some things he needed to sacrifice.

“Shu, don’t butt in, listen to him!” Chu Mengyao glared at Chen Yushu but secretly thought, if it was like what Shu said, Lin Yi could only regain his cultivation with that method, would she accept?

Perhaps… Yes? After all, he lost his powers from saving her and almost lost his life, so what if she sacrificed something for him? It wasn’t out of feelings, but one life for another! As compensation!

Chu Mengyao comforted herself like this.

But he had Tang Yun, why would he do it with her? Chu Mengyao shook her head and threw all these weird thoughts to the back of her head.

“That’s not true…” Lin Yi laughed bitterly, “Those male leads are just perverted and needed an excuse to cover up for their perverted desires…”

“Uh… Shield bro, are you perverted?” Chen Yushu asked.

“…” Lin Yi couldn’t answer it. Sexual desire was part of being a human and he didn’t want to lie.

“Shu, why do you have so much to say? Don’t interrupt him, let him speak, how can he regain his powers!” Chu Mengyao glared at Chen Yushu and scolded angrily.

“Oh ok, go ahead Shield bro, how can you regain your powers? Yaoyao sis and I stand with you!” Chen Yushu nodded.

“As to how I can regain my powers…” Lin Yi sighed lightly, “I haven’t found a way yet, so I’m here to resign today…”

“You… Are leaving?” Chu Mengyao froze and looked at Lin Yi in disbelief. Lin Yi’s words shocked her and she couldn’t accept it! He said he was fine before, why did he have to leave?

“Mhm,” Lin Yi nodded, “I’m going to search for a way to regain my powers!”

“Can’t you search for it here?” Chu Mengyao panicked.

“I’m accompanying you two here because I took Uncle Chu’s money. But now I’ve lost the powers to protect you, why should I stay here?” Lin Yi shrugged, “Don’t worry. After I leave, Uncle Chu will find you a new bodyguard. Perhaps he’ll be more obedient than me and won’t make you angry…”

“I…” Chu Mengyao wanted to say “I don’t want anyone else, I want you!”, but she couldn’t let it slip. She looked at Lin Yi in a daze and felt unrealistic. He’s leaving? So soon?

“Oh, it’s fine. You have money and you don’t need that 30,000 yuan. You don’t have to have salary, Yaoyao sis and I can support you!” Chen Yushu replied without overthinking like Chu Mengyao, “After you regain your powers, you can ask for a raise in salary!”

“Ha…” Lin Yi smiled, “Don’t be stupid Shu. I know you aren’t, right?”

Chen Yushu looked at Lin Yi in surprise with her eyes widened. She eventually lowered her head and stayed silent.

“You are going? I know that you don’t care about the money!” Chu Mengyao bit his lips, “You said that we are friends! You lost your powers because of us, so and how can we chase you out? Do you think I, Chu Mengyao, will do something like that?”

“Haha…” Lin Yi looked at Miss and he was reluctant to leave, but he quickly convinced himself, “I asked to resign myself, and it has nothing to do with you! Alright, I’ll go now. I need to tell Tang Yun before I leave…”

“You…” Chu Mengyao looked at Lin Yi and wanted to say something, but she closed her mouth as she watched Lin Yi headed for the door helplessly.

Lin Yi left like this, disappearing from Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu’s eyes.

Chu Mengyao looked down and something felt wrong in her heart. She couldn’t tell if it was sorrow or something else, but she felt extremely down.

The happiness that she found after knowing Lin Yi was healed plummeted. It was as if she lost her treasure. She wanted to cry but as she glanced at Shu and forced it back.

Yaoyao, stay strong! How could you cry for a man? It’s fine if he leaves. You didn’t want to mistreat him, and he wanted to leave himself… Although she comforted herself like so, she was still extremely upset.

“Yaoyao sis, is Shield bro really gone?” Chen Yushu asked.

“Yes.” Chu Mengyao nodded.

“But I don’t want him to go,” Chen Yushu replied honestly.

“I know, but we can’t stop him.” Chu Mengyao shook her head.

“Not even Uncle Chu?” Chen Yushu suddenly suggested.

“Daddy…” Chu Mengyao suddenly realized that her father was the one who found Lin Yi. Would Lin Yi listen to what her father said? He should, right? Otherwise, why would he come all the way here to work so hard for only 30,000 yuan?

Chu Mengyao’s eyes shone as she thought of this. She stumbled to the phone and dialed Chu Pengzhan’s number.

“Yaoyao? How’s Little Yi? Is he awake?” Chu Pengzhan just left work and picked up his daughter’s call on the way home. He didn’t ask Uncle Fu to pick him up for the past few days and he didn’t hire a new driver as he was used to driving himself.

“Yes…” Chu Mengyao nodded, “Daddy, but Lin Yi left, he wants to resign…”

“Resign? Why?” Chu Pengzhan was surprised, “Is it because it’s too dangerous?”

Chu Pengzhan was worried when Lin Yi was still unconscious. This time, what Lin Yi went through was indeed extremely dangerous and from Chu Mengyao’s recount, Lin Yi almost lost his life.

“No… His wounds are healed, but he lost all his kungfu…” Chu Mengyao replied, “He said he’s like an ordinary person now and he can on longer protect Shu and me, that’s why he wanted to resign…”

“Is that so? Wait for me, I’ll head over now!” Chu Pengzhan quickly said. If this was the reason, Chu Pengzhan wouldn’t mind as he could hire a new bodyguard, but once Lin Yi left, he would never come back again…
