Chapter 59: You Want to Protect Me (Part 2)

  Ye Feng was stunned, he didn't expect Gu Nian to make such a strange request.

  "Miss Gu, this, this, seems a bit inconvenient."

  "There's nothing inconvenient about it, let's just say I'm hiring you as my bodyguard, and I'll pay you according to a bodyguard's salary. How about we settle accounts once a week? After going through all this, do you think any other bodyguard can protect me like you did? It's not that I'm afraid of anything, but what if another weirdo comes after me? Wouldn't I be completely helpless and get caught by them again? So, Ye Feng, don't think my request is too out of the ordinary. You saved me, I'm grateful, but saving someone means seeing it through to the end. You have to take responsibility for me, okay?"

  After saying this sentence, Gu Nian's pretty face suddenly turned red, indeed, the last sentence sounded a bit off.

  Ye Feng's cold sweat flowed again, but this time it wasn't because of tension, rather it was because he couldn't accept the decision made by this rich family's young lady.

  Acting as her bodyguard, and that close protection kind, how is this possible? Not to mention having to go to work every day, even if not working, two people of different sexes, how can they truly achieve close protection.

  "Miss Gu, to be honest, I think this thing won't happen again. Besides, I still have to go to work, I'm a water delivery worker, every day I ride the water delivery cart through the streets and alleys, it's fundamentally impossible for me to provide close protection for you, or let me put it more bluntly, you're a woman, I'm a man, hmm, you should understand what I mean."

  Gu Nian glanced at Ye Feng and said, "Ye Feng, to be honest, you just don't want to protect me, right? You don't want this burden. I've told you before, my principle is that one is one and two is two. Honestly, my mind is still a bit confused now, today's events are something I can't understand, it's very likely the most incomprehensible thing in my life. I think many of my ideas will be changed because of this. Let's not talk about these for now. I don't have your extraordinary skills, I'm just an ordinary person. You may not be responsible for my safety, but I must take responsibility for my own safety. If you really decide to ignore me, then don't blame me for not being polite to you. I will tell more people about what happened today. Also, don't forget that the coffee shop and other stores nearby all have cameras. The footage of you jumping with me in your arms will definitely be recorded. If you agree to protect me, I'll take care of deleting all these surveillance records for you. How about it? I'm a man of my word, I still have this ability."

  Ye Feng felt a bit embarrassed and also somewhat annoyed, so he agreed. It was a bit of trouble to agree, but if he didn't agree, he really feared that Gu Nian would do something like that. Gu Nian might not have intentionally wanted to use some monitoring records to threaten him, but her words still made Ye Feng feel uncomfortable.

  After all, they were not close and didn't know each other well. Considering their own safety, they might say or do anything.

  "Miss Gu, what you want to say or do, I don't care, go ahead and say it or do it. Similarly, what I want to do is also none of your business. You want me to protect you personally? I think I have no time for that and no obligation either. So, sorry, I won't agree to this."

  She realized that she had said too much earlier, and those surveillance records would definitely be destroyed through connections. Even if Ye Feng wasn't afraid of trouble, she was.

  But thinking of being caught by that zombie-like monster before, Gu Nian felt a chill down her spine. She was really scared and also truly hoped that Ye Feng could protect her. Today's events were completely a nightmare for her, and she would probably find it difficult to truly wake up from this nightmare in a short period of time.

  Apart from Ye Feng, who else could she find? The police? The army? Is that possible? So apart from Ye Feng, her only safe haven, she really didn't know who to turn to.

  Ye Feng wasn't afraid of Gu Nian going to say or do something, as long as he just denied it, who could do anything to him? Considering that Gu Nian might indeed be found by those strange people again, Ye Feng thought carefully and slowed down his tone: "Miss Gu, I can understand your feelings, but I also hope you can understand me. I still have to go to work, and I currently don't have my own place to live, temporarily staying in a friend's unit. So if you want me to protect you personally, it's not practical at all. Actually, with your father's status, finding a few professional bodyguards for you shouldn't be a problem. If not, you can also take your niece on an overseas trip and hide out for a while."

  Gu Nian's face fell as Ye Feng said this, her eyes reddening as she choked out: "Where do you want me to hide? Am I supposed to stay abroad forever and never come back? Besides, Xiao Rou can't leave home, she's not used to living in other places, and her illness can't take the stimulation. Even if I wanted to leave, I couldn't."

  Ye Feng was at a loss, feeling that he couldn't continue talking to Gu Nian like this. He simply said: "Miss Gu, I have no choice then. In short, let me protect you personally, I can't do it, so be it, I'm leaving."

  Gu Nian grabbed Ye Feng's arm and said urgently, "Ye Feng, how about this? Anyway, Xiao Rou can be discharged from the hospital today. I don't have much to do usually, and since you still need to work and don't have time to be my bodyguard, why don't I just follow you around every day instead? It's not bad to experience life with you either. As for your housing problem, it's simple - you don't need to rent a place. You can just move into my house. My house is very big, and only Xiao Rou and I live there. I can easily give you a room, and I won't charge you any rent. Just feel free to stay there until you figure out who those people are and what they want."

  Ye Feng was speechless again, he had forgotten that Gu Nian was a rich family's young lady, finding a room for her was really not a big deal, but how could he tell Qin Yan that he would move out after just one day of staying at the law firm?

  This is something Ye Feng absolutely cannot do. He said: "No way, I promised my friend that I would wait for her to help me find a house."

  Gu Nian was once again rejected by Ye Feng, his heart racing with anxiety, he sat down on the ground with a thud and sobbed: "You're willing to watch me and my little niece be taken away by those strange people, then eaten or killed, right? Since you have such an iron heart, fine, then leave!"

  Ye Feng knew she was being deliberately stubborn and smiled helplessly, saying: "Alright, I'll leave. Take care of yourself."

  After saying this, Ye Feng turned his head and left.

  "Yefeng, are you still a man? You've abandoned me like this after what happened. If you don't want to take responsibility for me, that's fine, but can you really bear to see my lovely niece put in danger because of me? Yefeng, come back! Come back!"

  Ye Feng felt that he couldn't turn back, if he did, he would definitely be pestered by this arrogant rich young lady, so he thought it was better to speed up and run away, out of sight, out of mind.

  Just then, Gu Nian suddenly changed his tone: "Ye Feng, wait a minute, I don't want you to be my bodyguard anymore, okay? You can't just leave me alone here, can you? At least take me back to the hospital, that's all I'm asking for, isn't it?"

  This made Ye Feng stop in his tracks, this request was not excessive, since she had compromised, Ye Feng also felt at ease, and leaving her alone here after being frightened quite a bit was indeed not very proper, so he turned around and said: "Alright, then I'll take you to the hospital first, and then I'll head back."

  Gu Nian wiped away her tears and said: "No, let's go back to the coffee shop first. Have you forgotten that you left a car of water at the entrance of the coffee shop?"

  Ye Feng was amazed, after all what kind of woman is Gu Nian? She still remembers that his water delivery tricycle was left at the coffee shop entrance.
