The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard-Chapter 79 -
79: Chapter 79
79 -79
Today is July 19th, the day Tang Su is leaving.
Tang Su’s departure was mentioned by Ye Tian when he overheard her conversation with Gu Yue that night, and Ye Tian felt he should offer some comfort.
Moreover, in the rearview mirror, he unintentionally caught a glimpse of the look Tang Su passed him; though she quickly looked away, his years of experience as an adversary and his Master’s degree in psychology allowed him to perceive her true thoughts immediately—she had something on her mind that she wanted to say to him.
When the car arrived at her company, Tang Su happened to be leaving, driving the same black Toyota, and she saw Ye Tian getting out of a taxi.
“Looking for me?” Tang Su asked, glancing around to see no one else, and inquired.
Watching Tang Su’s expression, Ye Tian felt a mix of annoyance and amusement.
Overly clever people could sometimes be too clever for their own good—just like Tang Su.
She didn’t realize she had already been transparent to Ye Tian, who thought of her behavior in only four words: her mouth disagreed with her heart.
Whether her heart agreed wasn’t significant, as long as her words did.
Tilting his head, Ye Tian asked, “In a hurry, or shall we go together?”
“I need to take a business trip, so…”
“I’ll ride in your car, and get off as we leave the city.”
Tang Su seemed troubled but nodded her head; she might genuinely never return this time.
Tang Su was driving, while Ye Tian leaned his head on his hand at the passenger seat, watching the birds occasionally flying by outside the window, and he even whistled twice.
“You seem in good spirits!”
“Not bad, I’ve got food and drink, and there’s money to be earned—why wouldn’t I be happy?”
“Heh, and there’s a beautiful lady accompanying you, right?”
Ye Tian turned around, scanned her up and down, and then looked around in feigned surprise, asking, “Beautiful lady?
Who?”
Tang Su was so irritated she tried to hit him, but Ye Tian dodged.
However, that was probably the last lively moment in the car as after that hit, both fell back into silence until Tang Su spoke again, “How’s your girlfriend doing?
She well?”
“Girlfriend?”
“Stop pretending.
Captain Song, huh?
Congratulations to you, comrade Ye Tian, on leaving singlehood behind.
When will you treat me to a celebratory drink?
I’ve heard that Captain Song is an exemplary figure in the police force and comes from a good family background.
Such a wonderful woman—you’d better cherish her.”
Ye Tian genuinely couldn’t understand why people paired him up with Song Qian.
Although he was a heartthrob who could make flowers bloom with his charm and coolness that was out of this world, it wasn’t enough to match him with an icy policewoman.
“Oh, talking about her, you wouldn’t be missing her already, would you?
Fine, should I just take you straight to the police station and call it a day?
I could play the good Samaritan, pairing you two up.”
Ye Tian hurriedly waved his hands, “Manager Tang, please don’t tease me like that.
I’m just a security guard; I’m busy enough trying to avoid her armored vest.
We only talk when necessary for work; otherwise, I wouldn’t bother.”
Exactly—the things women worry about.
As soon as Ye Tian finished speaking, Tang Su immediately followed up anxiously with, “Really?” That anxious demeanor made Ye Tian immediately conclude that the woman was jealous.
Seeing the playful look in Ye Tian’s eyes and the corners of his mouth almost unable to contain a smile, Tang Su turned red and coughed awkwardly a couple of times before falling silent.
It was then that her phone, tucked at her waist, rang.
“Hello, Aunt Liu, what’s wrong?”
While Tang Su was on the phone, Ye Tian sat beside her looking at the beauty—why not when you have the chance?
“What!” Tang Su exclaimed, and the car abruptly came to a screeching halt, causing Ye Tian to hit his forehead against the side of the car, grimmacing in pain.
“Alright, I’m coming back right away!”
After hanging up the phone, Tang Su was frozen in place, seemingly panicked.
The honking from behind grew louder and more insistent.
Treading cautiously, Ye Tian reminded her, “Manager Tang?
Tang…”
“Ye Tian, you take the wheel, to Tianhe.
We won’t make it to the airport in time now!
I have to get there by four in the afternoon!”
This time Tang Su switched places with him in the cramped car without him having to ask, her demeanor indicating something was amiss.
Ye Tian’s little brother behaved itself, showing no signs of misbehaving.
“Fuck your mother, are you driving or not!”
“The light’s green!
Get the hell moving!”
Despite the cacophony of honks and curses, they were soon stunned into silence when the black Toyota shot forward with an urgent vroom as if it had a nitrous oxide booster—not a car, but a race car zipping through gaps in the traffic lights, despite minor scratches that no longer mattered.
Although the two cities were adjacent, the usual eight-hour drive could not be overlooked.
Ye Tian drove fast but didn’t dare to be reckless, noticing Tang Su’s anxious glances at her phone.
Emotions are often influenced by external factors—if he drove too swiftly all at once, Tang Su might break down on the spot.
What could push a self-made nightclub manager to such extremes?
“Manager Tang, where are we going?”
As successive vehicles were left behind, Tang Su pinched the bridge of her nose and replied softly, “Heading home.”
Home? ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Why so troubled about going home?
Ye Tian noticed a sudden weariness on her face that hadn’t been there before.
“Where’s your home?”
Tang Su rubbed her forehead.
“…36 Baihe District.”
Damn, true blue nobility!
Ye Tian didn’t pry further.
Pressing lightly on the accelerator, the car speed rose steadily.
It wasn’t for nothing; judging by Tang Su’s repeated checks on the time on her phone, there must’ve been some urgent family issue.
What kind of big deal at home?
It all boiled down to matters of birth, aging, sickness, or death.
Tianhe City, the closest directly-administered city to the Capital and the last one established, is a national hub for heavy industry, known as the heart of Huaxia.
The Pingjin Campaign was fought here.
Ye Tian had no particular feelings about this city, even though he had, during his time in the operations room, outlined defence plans against potential attacks, and how to conduct counterattacks.
But after discovering that in 1973 the city had signed some sort of cooperation treaty with Japan, everyone in the squad rolled their eyes in disapproval.
Despite later capturing spies in this city, their affection for the place did not grow.
Similarly, Ye Tian’s feelings towards the place were lukewarm at best.
In particular, he remembered Baihe District well, as it was the drop-off location for an escort mission he’d carried out.
By the time they reached, Tang Su had fallen asleep in the seat, exhausted after the midday long-distance rush.
Sticking to the car’s GPS guidance, Ye Tian accurately found their destination.
