Ye Chen Wants My Life

[Nervous, aren't you? Scared, right? Let's see if you dare to go crazy and accept my love confession now!]

[Quick, scream for help. As long as you scream for help, Ye Chen can rush in rightfully. I'll take a couple of hits symbolically, and as long as Ye Chen shows off his prowess, your affection for each other will skyrocket, and my mission will be half completed!]

Hearing Tang Ao's inner thoughts, Lin Ruoxue, who had been in a daze and whose ears were filled with the sound of her own heartbeat, suddenly relaxed. All her tension vanished.

Her ear happened to be pressed against Tang Ao's chest, and she could clearly feel that Tang Ao's heart was beating much faster than hers!

Thinking of this, Lin Ruoxue remembered hearing Tang Ao's inner thoughts last night, saying that yesterday was his first kiss.

Although rumors had it that Tang Ao was a playboy who had toyed with countless girls' feelings, the rumors and reality were clearly inconsistent.

Tang Ao's nervous heartbeat was the best proof; the body's natural reactions don't lie!

Seeing Ye Chen approaching menacingly and Tang Ao about to get beaten, Lin Ruoxue suddenly spoke: "Ye Chen, if you dare to harm Tang Ao today, I, Lin Ruoxue, will fight you to the death!"

???

[What the hell, Lin Ruoxue? What are you thinking? I'm taking advantage of you and teasing you right now. Ye Chen is here to save you. What do you mean by saying this?]

[You don't cooperate with anything related to human emotions at all. If everyone acted like you, how would the plot progress? How would Ye Chen show off and get closer to you?]

"President Lin, this Tang Ao is molesting you. As your bodyguard, I must do my duty. It's my responsibility to protect your safety!"

In the private room, the crowd, who had been ready to watch the drama, finally understood.

"So he's a bodyguard. No wonder I don't recognize him; he wasn't in our class."

"This bodyguard seems a bit foolish. Doesn't he know who Young Master Tang is? With a wave of his hand or a snap of his fingers, he could have this bodyguard pinned to the ground. Anyone with a bit of sense should know that Young Master Tang is not someone this bodyguard can afford to offend!"

Ye Chen suddenly understood and looked gratefully at Lin Ruoxue.

It turned out that Lin Ruoxue was worried about him being retaliated against by Tang Ao, so she didn't want him to make a move.

Lin Ruoxue still cared about him, even if just a little!

Thinking this, Ye Chen's resolve to rescue Lin Ruoxue from Tang Ao's clutches grew stronger. He declared righteously: "President Lin, I know you're worried about me, but as your bodyguard, seeing you fall into the clutches of this scoundrel, I must risk my life to save you from this misery!"

"Ye Chen! How dare you!?"

Seeing Ye Chen completely misunderstand her intentions and even raise his fist at Tang Ao, Lin Ruoxue quickly broke free from Tang Ao's embrace and stood in front of him. "Ye Chen, I officially notify you that you are fired. Get out of here!"

Ye Chen, hearing this, was even more moved. "Don't worry, President Lin, I know you're worried about me. Although I'm just a bodyguard, a mere Tang Ao can't do anything to me!"

"You~!" Lin Ruoxue was furious. She couldn't understand why Ye Chen insisted on misunderstanding her intentions despite her clear words.

She had never worried about Ye Chen!

At this moment, the only person Lin Ruoxue was worried about was Tang Ao!

What if Ye Chen injured Tang Ao?

Even though Tang Ao's inner thoughts were indeed infuriating—disliking her was one thing, but thinking that being with her would be painful—still~

Despite her anger, Lin Ruoxue couldn't stand idly by and watch Tang Ao get beaten up!

Seeing that Ye Chen was really about to attack Tang Ao, Zhou Qiao'er also stepped forward and stood beside Tang Ao. "You must be Ye Chen, right? If you dare to touch a hair on Tang Ao's head today, I'll pluck every hair from your body. If you dare to throw a punch at Tang Ao, I'll make sure you never use your fists again. If you dare to touch Tang Ao's clothes, I'll make sure you never wear clothes again!"

[Wah, Zhou Qiao'er, your words are so domineering. I like it so much~]

[Marrying a woman like her must mean you saved the galaxy in a past life, right?]

[What a pity, Zhou Qiao'er. You've misjudged. I'm just a humble villain, though cute and charming, not worthy of your love~]

Zhou Qiao'er's lips curled up, feeling sweet inside. She had never been this happy in her life.

To have someone you like also like you back, and both seeing each other as the best in their eyes, was a happiness that many single people dream of but can't attain.

Meanwhile, Lin Ruoxue's face was filled with grievance and disappointment.

Clearly, she was the first to stand up and protect Tang Ao.

Why did Tang Ao only have eyes for Zhou Qiao'er and not her?

Was Tang Ao approaching her, appearing at Lin Pharmaceuticals for ninety-nine days straight to confess, really just for the so-called plot, without any real affection?

Could it be...

Was she really that terrible?

No!

Lin Ruoxue shook her head and clenched her fists tightly—

She was no worse than Zhou Qiao'er!

Zhou Qiao'er just had a more prestigious family background and a higher starting point than her!

A surge of unprecedented determination to win Tang Ao's affection filled Lin Ruoxue's mind. For the first time, she was more rational than ever.

Though Zhou Qiao'er had won Tang Ao's heart, due to the so-called 'plot,' Tang Ao would stick to her and continue to woo her to keep the world line under control!

In other words, even if Tang Ao's heart wasn't with Lin Ruoxue, he was physically present with her!

This disadvantage wasn't too big!

Thinking this, Lin Ruoxue raised her head again, her eyes fiercely glaring at Ye Chen. "Ye Chen, get out of here. You are not welcome here. Understand this, I have never worried about you. The only person I care about is Tang Ao!"

"Ruoxue~" Ye Chen's eyes reddened with emotion. "A mere Tang Ao is not worth your fear. Today, I'll prove to you that to me, Tang Ao is nothing but a lowly ant!"

As Ye Chen spoke, he jumped up, reaching the ceiling. Then, with a strong push of his feet, the ceiling caved in a fist-sized hole. Ye Chen then launched himself straight at Tang Ao.

This strike, Ye Chen put all his strength into it. With new and old grudges combined, Ye Chen was now using at least thirty percent of his power!

Thirty percent strength might not sound like much, but anyone who had seen Ye Chen's full strength was already dead, including some self-proclaimed top experts!

This strike would either kill Tang Ao or cripple him!

Tang Ao was so scared he almost lost his mind, panicking internally:

[Lin Ruoxue, Lin Ruoxue, are you trying to kill me!?]
