LU XI, real identity unknown, is a formidable assassin, ranked 7th on the Assassins Worldwide Leaderboard. Anyone who heard of her code name would tremble in fear. Akin to a killing machine, she would not stop at anyone's pleas for mercy. Not a single soul would be spared once their name is written on her hit list.

Now, worlds apart from her expertise, she is ordered to take over the CEO position for the largest business empire in Country Z, the Wang Empire Estates. Unpleasant memories resurfaced, but they do not care. Obey without question. She will do as they say. Her feelings do not matter. 

But only a day after she assumed her (new) identity as WANG ROUXI, the CEO of Xia Corporation, XIA JIANNAN, mistook her as his driver-bodyguard. Unbeknownst to the two of them, the moment Xia Jiannan entered her car would be the start of their strange yet familiar love story.

Come and join them on their journey of uncovering each other's feelings and memories. Wang Rouxi and Xia Jiannan will be waiting...

Ms. CEO is His Bodyguard

The hand that was supposed to reach for the salt and pepper prawns froze in midair. 


'Is this what you call being "hit on" by someone?' 


But the thing that surprised her the most was the fact that it was him, the Stoic King who was rumored to have an uncertain sexual orientation, that was hitting on her. 


Even Xia Jiannan was taken aback by the words coming out of his mouth. This was the very first time that he had uttered such words to anyone! 


He even did it without conscious thought! 


To cover up his apparent shock, Xia Jiannan casually lifted his drink and took a sip from it. 


"Hahaha... I can't even start to imagine just how many bachelors would line up to have you as their wife." 


Xia Jiannan had rephrased his statement in order to avoid any ambiguous implications. 


Wang Rouxi obviously knew what he was trying to do, so she would not make it hard for him. She just simply laughed it off. 


With a smile on her face, Wang Rouxi tried to dispel the awkwardness, "I'm actually fortunate that there's none." 


However, Xia Jiannan had long been frozen in his seat the moment he heard Wang Rouxi's melodious laughter. 


Time seemed to have stopped. Everything frozen at a standstill. 


Under the star-studded, moonlit night sky, a handsome man and a beautiful woman sat opposite each other, enjoying a scrumptious meal. 


And if one would look closely, they would realize that the man was staring dazedly at the dazzling smile on the woman's delicate face. 


If others were to witness this dreamlike scene, they would all agree that it looked like a tableau straight out from an oil painting... 


In reality, the moment he saw that blinding smile of hers, Xia Jiannan felt as though his brain had been forcefully shut down. He probably did not even catch the thing Wang Rouxi had just said. 


Although it was not the first time that he had seen it, Xia Jiannan was still stunned silly by Wang Rouxi's celestial beauty. 


He suddenly felt like everything that had happened up until now was completely surreal! 


Would he really have gotten into a wrong car and met a woman with an unworldly beauty...? 


If Wang Rouxi was just a figment of his imagination, then how was he able to feel her touch earlier? How would he be able to eat this delicious food? 


Noticing his absentminded look, Wang Rouxi furrowed her brows as she placed the prawn that she was about to eat back on her plate. 


However, it seemed that Xia Jiannan was lost in his own world, his eyes dazed as they looked at nothing in particular. 


"Mr. Xia..." Wang Rouxi reached out her right hand to grab ahold of Xia Jiannan's hand to pull him out of his reverie. 


Hearing someone calling out to him and feeling the warmth over his hand, Xia Jiannan snapped out of his daze. 


'Of course, she is real! What the hell am I thinking?!' 


He then shook his head to clear his thoughts, his eyes regaining their focus as he looked at Wang Rouxi quizzically. 


It was then that he noticed Wang Rouxi's white jade hand was holding his. 


Ah! So the beautiful Rouxi did not have suitors, eh? 


Looking directly at those two deep impenetrable eyes of hers, Xia Jiannan felt as though he was staring into a dark abyss. 


Lifting her hand to his lips, Xia Jiannan gave it a light kiss. "It is indeed a good thing. And it's an honor for me to meet you, Miss Rouxi. Although you probably know of me, let me reintroduce myself. I am Xia Jiannan..." 


Xia Jiannan would really like to bang his head at the wall. What was that?! 


This was certainly not his usual self! 


He swore that his body was moving on its own!
