The Beautiful CEO’s Close Bodyguard

Ye Liang was a bit surprised, "Miss Feng Luo? Why are you here?"

Feng Luo smiled softly, she looked at Ye Liang, her eyes appraising her for a moment, then she said, "I heard you went to the pharmacy to buy medicine, and thought you might not feel well, so I came to check on you."

Ye Liang was stunned for a moment, feeling secretly relieved; she had just put the medicine away upon hearing the door knock.

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Feng Luo, I’m fine."

Ye Liang’s tone was calm, her hands holding the door on both sides, her body blocking the entrance without any intention of letting Feng Luo in.

Feng Luo peeked into the room, but before she could see anything, Ye Liang’s figure blocked her view again, causing her to look at Ye Liang in frustration, "Lady Ye, won’t you invite me in to sit?"

Ye Liang smiled slightly, then stepped aside a bit to let Feng Luo in.

Feng Luo stood in the middle of the hall, not sitting down, but instead, her eyes wandered around looking for something. After a circle, she didn’t see the medicine bag that the little beggar mentioned.

However, she had a keen sense of smell, and as soon as Ye Liang opened the door, she faintly smelled a scent of medicine inside the room, but now the scent was gone. Did she hide the medicine bag?

Ye Liang noticed Feng Luo seemed to be searching for something and her eyes flickered briefly, "Miss Feng Luo, please sit."

Feng Luo thanked her, walked to the table and sat down, still restless and glancing around.

Ye Liang slightly curled her lips, asking her, "Miss Feng Luo, what are you looking for?"

Feng Luo snapped back to reality, realizing she was too engrossed in her search earlier, "Nothing, just looking around casually. Are you used to living here, Lady Ye?"

Ye Liang nodded, "I’m used to it."

"That’s rare, considering Lady Ye’s noble upbringing, I was worried you might not be accustomed to our simple houses and plain meals."

Ye Liang’s smile remained unchanged, "Miss Feng Luo is jesting. When I was still a fool, my living conditions were worse than this room, and even my food was leftovers from dogs."

Feng Luo was stunned by Ye Liang’s words, "What did you say? When you were a fool, people at your house fed you dog food?"

Ye Liang’s smile was tinged with helplessness, "Doesn’t it sound incredible? You all say I’m the eldest daughter of the Marquis Mansion, but in fact, only I know that I am only a titular lady with no real power. My father, Marquis Ye? Ha, he has never even looked me in the eye."

Feng Luo looked at Ye Liang in disbelief, finding it hard to believe her words. How could any biological parents treat their children like that? Even though she was not Luo Qi’s biological daughter, he and Luo Jiu treated her like their own, even better than their own flesh and blood.

Of course, Luo Qi hasn’t settled down yet. She heard people say that Luo Qi had a chance to marry his sweetheart back then, but because of her, he remained single for over a decade.

Feng Luo lightly clenched her hands, her eyes filled with sympathy for Ye Liang, "I didn’t expect you would have such an experience."

However, Ye Liang seemed indifferent, "Fortunately, I was a fool back then, not understanding anything; otherwise, my heart would have turned completely cold."

"And now?" Feng Luo asked curiously, wanting to gossip a bit. Now that she was no longer a fool and was even smart and scheming, Marquis Ye should be pleased with such a daughter, right?

Ye Liang gently shook her head, "Actually, before coming here, I always lived in the back mountain. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Chu Ge."

Feng Luo was puzzled, "Why would I ask him?"

"Since he came to this time and space, he’s been living with me."

As Ye Liang said this, she deliberately observed Feng Luo’s expression. Sure enough, she saw a flash of ugliness on her face.

Ye Liang’s lips curled into a barely noticeable smile, then she continued, "I know Chu Ge doesn’t belong to this world. When he said he was coming to Shuo State, I knew he must have received some news about returning home. This time, I came here just to see if he had left."

She paused, seeing Feng Luo’s complex emotions, then added, "As for earlier when I had Little Shunzi monitor Chu Ge, it was only because I had things that were inconvenient for me to do, so I wanted to send someone to check on him, see how he was doing, if he left, and when he would leave, that’s all."

Feng Luo remained silent, realizing Ye Liang was subtly explaining the situation with Little Shunzi to her.

Suddenly, a sense of guilt surged within Feng Luo, a feeling she couldn’t quite understand.

But another voice inside kept telling her, all of Ye Liang’s words were lies!

For a moment, it was as if two little figures were fighting inside her head!

Feng Luo irritably scratched her head, "Ah, it’s so annoying!!"

Ye Liang was slightly stunned, but soon returned to normal, lightly pressing her lips, secretly feeling delighted. It seemed Feng Luo was moved by her explanations, otherwise, she wouldn’t be so conflicted.

She cleared her throat lightly, the usual hostility around her was gone, replaced by a frail melancholy, "Ah, these things are already in the past, talking about them only adds to the trouble. Actually, I really envy you, free and easy, cheerful and lively."

Feng Luo felt a little embarrassed by the compliment; after all, she always targeted Ye Liang before, "Well, actually I have a lot of worries too, not as carefree as you think."

"Really?" Ye Liang murmured, "But I see the most on your face is a smile, a heartfelt smile, so I think you must be happy, right? People born with a smile are usually from harmonious families."

Feng Luo saw Ye Liang staring blankly at the teapot on the table, seemingly lost in thought. She thought Ye Liang might be feeling sad again, so she hurriedly consoled her, "Don’t overthink it, back then you were a fool and got bullied, but that’s all in the past. Now you’re normal, you can move freely, and you have great martial arts skills, no one dares to bully you anymore."

Ye Liang smiled, her lips carrying a touch of helplessness, "Maybe."

Silence, a deathly silence.

Suddenly, both of them fell silent, neither opening their mouth to speak again, Feng Luo twisting her hands to ease her awkwardness; why did the atmosphere suddenly become so strange?

After a moment, Feng Luo lightly coughed, "Well... I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I won’t disturb you any longer, I’m leaving."

"Okay, I won’t hold you back then, Miss Feng Luo."

Feng Luo practically ran out of the courtyard; she didn’t notice the smirk on Ye Liang’s face after she left the courtyard.

She ran a long distance in one breath, then leaned against the pillars in the corridor, panting heavily, her brain a bit overloaded, but feeling something was odd!
