Chapter 368 - Here Comes The Troublemakers
Beauty and the Bodyguard
Tomorrow was the birthday feast, an important event- Zhaoming wouldnât go as far as to publicly laugh at Fen or anything, since both Xiaobo and him were still Kangs to everyone else, even if they had their differences.
If Zhaoming really were that immature and attacked Xiaobo with mockery or anything of the sort, then itâd him whoâd get laughed at by others.
That was why tomorrow was the ideal day for Fen to come to a conclusion with Zhaoming- the four of them would then leave right after Xiaobo presented the gift.
âThereâs instant noodles here- letâs settle with this then.â Lin Yi opened a glass cabinet and took out the instant foods like instant noodles, rice, and sausages.
The people here werenât picky in the first place- they were fine as long as they had something to eat.
They all went to rest after the meal- Tang Yin helped Fen to a room upstairs without giving Lin Yi or Xiaobo any chance at all.
Lin Yi didnât mind- his relationship with Tang Yin wasnât really an official coupleâs relationship anyway. They hadnât said anything about it to each other either.
Theyâd just gotten closer, thatâs all- of course they couldnât sleep in the same room.
Xiaobo, on the other hand, was slightly disappointed. âAw, I thought I could get closer with Fen and everything, too.â
âChances will come.â Lin Yi patted Xiaoboâs shoulder. âFen isnât in a good mood today, so even if youâre thinking about doing other stuff she wouldnât be very interested. Might as well wait until we settle this whole thing with Kang Zhaoming and liberate her, right?â
âRight, boss! I guess I was rushing.â Xiaobo said guiltily. âIâll listen to you.â
âHahaâ¦â Lin Yi laughed. âLetâs go to bed.â
With that, Lin Yi headed to a room downstairs when Xiaobo started following him. âBoss, wait for meâ¦â
â...Why are you following me?â Lin Yi turned around, weirded out.
âHeh heh⦠I wanna sleep with you, bossâ¦â Xiaobo said with a smile.
âWhat the fuckâ¦â A chill went down Lin Yiâs spine. âI thought you liked Fen..?â
âUgh⦠Youâre taking it the wrong way, boss⦠I just wanted to chat, thatâs all!â Xiaobo sweated, speechless. âIâm just worried what my parents would think about Fen after tomorrowâ¦â
Lin Yi blinked- so there wasnât anything wrong with the guyâs sexual orientation!
âLetâs chat then. Itâs not a big deal.â Lin Yi sighed. âThis just depends on what you think- Fenâs a good girl, but she got unlucky with a relationship⦠I think your parents will understand if you just tell them honestlyâ¦â
âYeah, Iâm think so too, but I feel like⦠itâs a bit unfounded. Iâm thinking that if Fen and I become successful and everything and then tell them about the relationship⦠I feel like theyâll take to it better. But thereâs no time!â Xiaobo sighed. âMy parents are gonna know about us tomorrow for sure, Iâm worried they wonât like itâ¦â
âAh, success, huh? Donât worry, Iâll be able to give you an opportunity sometime soon.â Li Yi was thinking about having a representative, too- Xiaobo was a good candidate, especially with his status as Miracle Doctor Kangâs relative.
Miracle Doctor Guan would be able to cause a huge uproar in the market!
Even if the patients doubted Miracle Doctor Guanâs medicine at first, theyâd be sure to assume that Xiaobo had the recipe for Golden Creation as well if they found out about the relationship- Theyâd think that heâd split from his second grandpaâ¦
âReally?â Xiaoboâs eyes lit up excitedly. âBoss, youâre really too nice to me!â
âHa⦠Go get some rest. Youâll need it to fight Zhaoming tomorrow.â Lin Yi reminded.
âRight, Iâll go right nowâ¦â Xiaobo nodded and left for a room of his own.
Lin Yi, Xiaobo, Tang Yin, and Fen all left the villa at nine the second day after having instant noodles for breakfast. Li Yixun had wanted to prepare something for Lin Yi to eat, but the boss didnât task him with that, nor did Lin Yi call for the service- he decided not to disturb the hosts.
Kang Zhaoming was still feeling humiliated from yesterday- he was a direct heir of Miracle Doctor Kangâs bloodline, and he couldnât even handle a mere branch relative! It pissed him off.
Heâd gotten a hotel staff member he knew to scout out where Xiaobo was living, thinking of going there with some men to shame them, but nothing turned up. He had to leave them alone for the night.
But theyâd make an appearance today, without fail, since it was grandpaâs birthday feast today. Xiaobo would definitely attend with those friends of his, so Zhaoming was already waiting at the entrance with some of his followers, prepared to humiliate the group at any moment!
âYou guys remember what Master Kang said?â Zhu Xiaozhang said cockily as he handed out some cash to the security guards at the entrance- he was a follower of Zhaomingâs.
âYes! Rest assured, Zhu Broâ¦â A security captain-looking guy said as he accepted the cash.
âDonât call me Zhu Bro!â Xiaozhang glared- Zhu Bro was the exact sound of âPig Broâ, it was quite irritating. âCall me Xiaozhang Bro, got that?â
The sound âXiaozhangâ, on the other hand, sounded like âcockyâ- heâd much rather be Cocky Bro compared to Pig Bro. He was Zhaomingâs number one lackey, after all⦠It was a fitting name for his confident demeanor.
âYes, Xiaozhang Bro!â The security captain said.
âHere they comeâ¦â Zhaomingâs other top lackey, Wang Shubin, had memorized the licence plate on Lin Yiâs van already- heâd been looking all over for that run-down van last night to no avail.
The security captain nodded to guard A and B, and the two of them started walking right at the van.
Lin Yi had seen what Zhaoming and his lackeys were up to long ago, mumbling to the security guards and everything. He curled his lips at the incoming antics. âXiaobo, Kang Zhaomingâs right there at the door- heâs here to cause trouble. Careful.â
âYeah, got it!â Xiaobo held a fist as Fen started trembling from her nervousness and panic- it hurt Xiaobo to see that. He held her hand. âDonât worry, Fen! Iâll make that bastard apologizeâ¦â
