Chapter 136: Ink

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

From a third-rate clan in Nine Continents City to a wealthy clan, Lin Shuimo's biggest feeling was that the small company he opened with his best friend was a little busy. In less than a month, orders were received several times more than last year, Moreover, his narrow circle of friends, which was limited to Bai Yang and himself, had been expanded several times. Wang Tongtian, Wang Bolong, Chen Qingyu, and Ye Qingxue, these young masters who were no longer at the peak of the Divine Boat Empire, had naturally entered their own lives, and they were not too arrogant.

The luxurious exterior but increasingly lonely interior villa on the third floor of the Heavenly Duke's Mansion had recently regained its vitality. Occasionally, when I go home, the number of people visiting the house gradually changed from the old Menkoros to the current bustling streets, After settling down in the South over the years, Some of the so-called relatives, who were very close to each other but hadn't been around since Lin Shuimo remembered, also came to visit from time to time. Second Grandpa, Third Grandma, Cousin, Uncle, Uncle, The elders all wore hypocritical smiling faces that seemed passionate but made Lin Shuimo feel disgusted in his heart. They were condescending, and their cousins, cousins, and cousins, whom they had never met since childhood, also came over. They either implicitly or clearly expressed that they wanted to develop in Nine Continents City, hoping that she could help them introduce their friends.

Hypocrisy, fawning, currying favor, envy, and the stiff smile of jealousy and hatred suppressed by force.

Lin Shuimo did not feel the warmth of family ties in this group of people. Every time she returned to the third mansion of Tiangong Mansion and saw those relatives who were indeed related by blood, she would always look like she was facing a group of strangers who used their relatives' names to trick her into eating and drinking.

Every time they surrounded him and forced him to laugh, Lin Shuimo always felt that he was exceptionally fragile. Like sheep surrounded by wolves, Without concern or warmth, the sudden wealth of the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City made them pounce like mad dogs and wolves. They wished they could squeeze every bit of value out of this newly advanced rich clan. Lin Shuimo, who had never been good at polite greetings and intrigue, could even easily see their greed and ugliness behind their smiles.

Whenever this happened, Lin Shuimo would feel that he was in danger, even more so than he had been wary of the Lin Clan's plot in the southwest.

At that time, Lin Xiaocao was beside him.

What happened after he left?

Oh, and Yang Guang and Lin Shuimo. I heard from Elder Sister Chen that they are also influential people. They are barely on the same level as Lin Xiaocao. Their business abilities are very strong.

Lin Shuimo recognized their business abilities. Compared to Lin Xiaocao, Yang Guang seemed to be the real bodyguard. He was serious, strict, quick-witted, and meticulous.

Rationally speaking, Lin Shuimo really couldn't pick out any mistakes in his new bodyguard, but from the emotional point of view, no matter what, Lin Shuimo couldn't be satisfied with this pair of siblings.

Lin Shuimo knew very well that this was not because of the so-called problem of strength, but because he had lost the slightest bit of the throbbing he had when facing Lin Xiaocao when facing them who were strictly observing the rules.

To put it bluntly, Lin Shuimo felt that he liked the bodyguard who suddenly appeared and disappeared.

He was like what Lin Shuimo had always thought of him. He was silent, but he could not stop himself from breaking into his inner world. In the car-smuggling parking lot, accompanied by gunshots, blood, corpses and throwing knives, his figure was incomparably clear, branded in the deepest part of her memory.

Until now, Lin Shuimo firmly believed that no woman could refuse Lin Xiaocao at that moment.

Her peaceful inner world was instantly shattered and her mind was in complete chaos. In that situation, all of Lin Shuimo's impulses seemed to surge out. She felt that everything she did for this man was understandable and she could accept it happily afterwards.

However, Lin Xiaocao did not react at all. She coldly brought her out and found a hotel and a suite. She tossed and turned in Lin Shuimo's mind and spent the night peacefully.

Until now, Lin Shuimo believed that he had already confessed to Lin Xiaocao when he was in the hotel. At the very least, the other party had received her intention.

And...

And rejected her unequivocally.

Which girl isn't proud and reserved?

Awkwardness, grievance, humiliation, shame...

Miss Lin Shuimo, who had confessed that she had been rejected, had all sorts of emotions mixed together. She was almost embarrassed to see anyone, so she naturally began to deliberately cool down Lin Xiaocao.

And then... There's no more.

He disappeared, leaving behind only Yang Guang, who was diligent and diligent, and Yang Yingxue, who didn't like her, to take care of her safety. However, he didn't even say hello to her and left without saying anything. He was really a handsome man like the wind.

For more than a month, Because of this, Lin Shuimo was so angry that he even secretly cried a few times. The man who had calmly stepped into the Lin Clan's gates in Nine Continents City, The man who had been treated as her bodyguard at first, but then as her patron saint. The ruthless man who had left without leaving any news seemed to have become a thorn that pierced into her heart. It seemed inconspicuous, but it would always be stabbed abruptly, sour and resentful.

Segments of text in front of the screen gradually blurred into a ball, eventually turning into a pile of symbols that were difficult to understand. His stiff fingers were mechanically typing on the keyboard. After an unknown amount of time, Lin Shuimo suddenly reacted. He was dumbfounded when he saw the pile of random codes that he had unconsciously typed.

"What's going on?"

Lin Shuimo muttered to himself, He scratched his hair in frustration and stood up. He walked to the side of the water cooler to get himself a cup of hot water and sat down again. He mumbled to the bastards all over the mountain temple. He thought about whether he should listen to the advice of his relatives and consider the issue of blind dates.

A rhythmic knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Lin Shuimo frowned and said indifferently, "Who is it?"

The people outside did not say a word, but there was another knock on the door.

Anger flashed in Lin Shuimo's calm and stubborn eyes. He bit his lips and didn't intend to respond to the voice outside.

There were five people living in this villa. The owners were Chen Qingyu, Lin Shuimo, Bai Yang, Yang Guang and Yang Yingxue.

When Lin Shuimo was in the study, Bai Yang and Chen Qingyu usually didn't knock on the door. Yang Guang had always been very serious about his duties as a bodyguard. Most of the time, his presence was negligible. There was only one person in Lin Shuimo's heart who even pretended to knock on the door when he came to the study.

Yang Yingxue.

Out of the five people in the villa, the only girl who was very unhappy with Lin Shuimo.

Lin Shuimo knew very well why Yang Yingxue, a pretty doll-like girl, was so hostile to him. In her heart, she probably thought that there was something between her and her martial uncle. Therefore, her hostility could be understood as jealousy.

If it was an ordinary opponent, with Lin Shuimo's self-control, a smile would be over.

However, the problem was that Yang Yingxue posed too much of a threat to her, This was really a delicate girl who could pinch out water, Moreover, he didn't even like Lin Xiaocao that easily. Instead, he was like a mad believer when facing a god. He was so fanatical that he almost didn't have the slightest bit of reason. In fact, Lin Xiaocao only needed to hook his fingers, and this large doll that combined all the strengths of Eastern and Western women would obediently strip naked and climb onto the bed.

This made Lin Shuimo feel very uncomfortable every time he saw her. No woman liked to see another outstanding woman who was equally outstanding and even younger than him admiring the same man.

Lin Shuimo sat quietly in his seat. Her plump chest rose and fell slightly, She stared at the door and planned to wait for Yang Yingxue to leave. Under her rational state, she really had no interest in competing with a little girl for jealousy. Moreover, she and she were a woman who had already been rejected and a woman who didn't even dare to confess. She had no interest in quarreling with a man with her back to the sky.

The knocking on the door continued.

One minute.

Two minutes.

Three minutes.

Lin Shuimo's snowy face gradually turned red. His anger was almost uncontrollable. He forcefully suppressed his desire to pick up the cup and smash it on the door and said coldly, "Yang Yingxue, are you done? I don't have time to mess around with you right now!"

"She's downstairs watching TV."

The study door was pushed open, A figure that made Lin Shuimo stunned instantly walked into the study. His expression was natural, ashamed, guilty, and unnatural. These things were not even worshipped at all. It was as if he had gone to the bathroom a few minutes ago and then walked back. He subconsciously sized up the surroundings and said calmly, "I heard that little girl say that you two don't have a good relationship. Why does she often come up to you to fool around?"

'"..."

Lin Shuimo's beautiful eyes widened as he stared at Lin Xiaocao without saying a word.

"You don't recognize me?"

Lin Xiaocao frowned and pulled a chair across from Lin Shuimo. The two of them looked at each other across a desk.

Lin Shuimo's gentle breathing gradually became rapid. Her chest, which was large enough to satisfy all men's eyeballs, was also being bullied violently. Every time she breathed, the tight white shirt would bulge fiercely and almost break the buttons on it. It was enough to see just how excited Second Miss Lin was right now.

"Aren't you going to say something?"

Lin Shuimo looked at Lin Xiaocao unblinkingly, trying his best to keep his tone calm, but his tone was still trembling, "I need an explanation!"

"There's nothing to explain."

Lin Xiaocao said indifferently. At the corner of his eyes, he saw a pack of black cigarettes on the table. It was a custom-made cigarette from within the royal family. He reached out to light one and took a deep breath. "This cigarette is not bad."

"There's nothing to explain?!"

Lin Shuimo's voice instantly grew louder. She suddenly stood up and supported her desk with both hands. She leaned forward and looked into Lin Xiaocao's eyes, "You are my bodyguard!" While you were performing your bodyguard duties, I had the right to know all of your actions. You disappeared silently for more than a month, and you didn't have anything to say? I'm not satisfied with your answer! "

"I only said that I wanted to protect you. I didn't say anything to protect you. After I left, I still left Yang Guang and Yang Yingxue behind. Furthermore, during my absence, nothing unexpected happened. This can prove that my protection work is well done. It is necessary for me to explain my whereabouts? I woke up this morning and went to the bathroom. Do you want to hear it? "

Lin Xiaocao glanced at Lin Shuimo, who was angry and had a different charm, and his tone was still immortal.

"You!"

Lin Shuimo's eyes turned red. She wasn't a particularly strong woman. She was a little persistent, a little stubborn, and a little talented. Jing, that's all. Facing her sweetheart's tone, her heart ached. Her tone was a little choked up. "Then let them go. Who wants them to protect her? I'm very safe now. No one dares to bully me!"

"They really don't need to stay here anymore. I will arrange something else for them."

Lin Xiaocao nodded and didn't see the ashtray. He directly stood up and opened the window, throwing the cigarette butt out.

Lin Shuimo didn't care about Lin Xiaocao's actions. The joy in his eyes flashed and he said expectantly, "You mean you will continue to protect me?"

Lin Xiaocao was slightly stunned. He shook his head honestly, "Don't misunderstand. I will be responsible for your safety in the next few days, but I also have things to do. I will arrange for new people to protect you. You can rest assured about their strength. I will still say the same thing and 100% protect your safety."

"Is that what you came here to tell me?"

Lin Shuimo looked at Lin Xiaocao's back and asked softly, but her tone was filled with disappointment. She hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and before she could speak, her face turned scarlet. "I want your protection. I don't need anyone else, I want you!"

To the reserved Second Miss Lin, this was another confession.

Lin Xiaocao sighed softly. He was not an idiot. How could he not see that Lin Shuimo's feelings for him were already at a dangerous stage? He really didn't have a good impression of the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City, but that didn't mean that their blood relationship didn't exist. Lin Xiaocao couldn't accept such feelings.

"I have other things to do."

Lin Xiaocao pretended not to understand, "The people I arranged for you are all elites. It's enough to protect you. And under normal circumstances, they won't disobey any of your orders. Compared to an irresponsible bodyguard like me, they will definitely be more convenient for you to use."

"What is it?"

Lin Shuimo asked.

"Yang Wuwei will be the general counselor of the Imperial Special Operations Squadron and the new instructor of the Tornado Squadron. It's me."

Lin Xiaocao remained silent for a while and said calmly.

"... My sister's new instructor is you?!"

Lin Shuimo had an unbelievable expression on his face, but on second thought, it was reasonable. In terms of strength, Lin Xiaocao was more than enough to be the instructor.

"Yes, Yang Guang, Yang Yingxue, Wang Bolong, and Lin Shuhua are said to be joining us. The captain of Gale, Wang Tongtian, will soon change professions."

Lin Xiaocao continued. He didn't have to worry that this sentence would reveal his identity. Since he was the new instructor, he definitely wanted to communicate with Yang Wuwei in advance. It was entirely possible for this news to spread from his side.

Lin Shuimo was a little numb. He lowered his head, as if he suddenly remembered something. He suddenly raised his head and said nervously, "Hey, you don't want to transfer my sister to protect me after becoming an instructor, do you?! I absolutely don't agree!"

According to Lin Shuimo's understanding of Lin Xiaocao, if there weren't any people around him, he could really do such a thing.

"You think too much. It has nothing to do with them. The one who came to protect you is my subordinate."

"Subordinate?"

Lin Shuimo felt that it was ridiculous. A bodyguard already had a subordinate? Moreover, he was an extremely elite subordinate? What's wrong with this world?

However, she couldn't help but feel powerless when she recalled the fanatical gaze that Yang Yingxue released when she mentioned Lin Xiaocao.

Lin Xiaocao looked up at his watch. It was already eleven o'clock in the morning. He casually asked, "Sister Chen, are they coming back at noon?"

"Xiao Bai will come back. The company is very close to here. Sister Chen has returned home. She won't be able to come back until night, right?"

Lin Shuimo said absent-mindedly.

Lin Xiaocao nodded and waved his hand, "Go and cook. I'm a little hungry."
