Chapter 25 - 17: The Happy Washboard

Chapter 25: Chapter 17: The Happy WashboardBut why does he vaguely feel that this woman is filled with an uncertain sense of danger, a feeling he had experienced countless times from opponents during his hunting missions in Africa, but the woman before him is his playful wife. Clearly a gentle woman, so why does she carry a sense of danger? At this moment, Sophie gracefully walked up to Lin Mu. This man, though appearing inscrutable, carried a profound emotion resembling the desolate expanse of a desert, a feeling that intoxicated her. In the calculative world of commerce and business warfare, having such a warm and safe haven was incredibly precious to her! "What? Are you surprised by my current identity and attire?" But there wasn’t the slightest feeling in her tone, as if she was stating something unrelated to her. "Indeed, a bit..." Lin Mu swallowed hard, the aura of Yunhai Mansion was so overpowering, and as the super female president above thousands within it, she obviously kind of overwhelmed Lin Mu’s own aura. "However, you are still beautiful..." Lin Mu quickly complimented, and this was a truthful statement without any form of desecration or taint. Given she could firmly control the giant carrier of Su’s Great Enterprise at such a young age, Lin Mu had enough reasons to pay deep respect to her extraordinary business capabilities. "However, as I said, you only have a one-month trial period. I anticipate that within this month, Yunhai will become restless due to special reasons, and many dangers may befall me, which is exactly why my grandfather hired you to protect me!" Yet Sophie changed her tone, "But I don’t think you are a completely qualified bodyguard!" "Oh, why is that?" Lin Mu was greatly shocked, thinking to himself that as her fiancé who was now lowering himself to be a mere bodyguard, it was already quite a grievance, and now this girl even considered him not a qualified bodyguard? One must know that he once dominated the North African Grassland with invincible might... "Just now, when you were looking at me, you blanked out for a full three seconds. Maybe three seconds is trivial to ordinary people, but in the eyes of a super assassin, it’s enough time to fire five bullets or throw three consecutive darts, which is enough to put me to death, isn’t it?" "Uh, sorry..." Faced with the theoretically knowledgeable female president, Lin Mu had no choice but to apologize. "Sorry is useless. If you make a mistake, no matter how many times you say sorry, it won’t make up for it. I know your skills are very good, more than sufficient to be a policeman or even a special force member, but a bodyguard is a bodyguard. Policemen and special forces can make mistakes, but a bodyguard is not allowed to make a single mistake because any mistake you make can bring endless opportunities for the assassin to kill..." My goodness, this is a severe aftereffect of marrying a Harvard MBA doctorate wife! It seems a woman’s strong theoretical knowledge is definitely disadvantageous for a man. Even a wife without much education can scold her husband profoundly, not to mention one with an MBA theoretical doctorate title! It seems even after getting married in the future, I’m bound to suffer! But having such a naturally beautiful wife, even if she scolds me a few times, or even makes me kneel on the washboard every day, I’d still feel blessed! "Hehe, blessed with the washboard..." Lin Mu couldn’t help but blurt out. "What... washboard?" Sophie couldn’t help but frown slightly, thinking this guy merely zoned out for three seconds, but it seems he has never focused on the sacred profession of being a presidential bodyguard. Of course, with such a fairy-like beauty in front, no sentimental young man in the world could possibly concentrate on work! "Uh, I was wrong, please forgive me, it was my mistake," Lin Mu didn’t expect his workaholic president fiancée to switch to bodyguard interview mode the instant he walked in, but as a true man and warrior, he admitted it was his mistake, without one shred of excuse or justification! "Your mistake is understandable!" The beautiful president surely could understand that it was her beauty that disrupted his normal performance, "But I hope this is your only mistake!" "Of course, I promise!" Lin Mu raised his hand to swear, this time it wasn’t acting, it was heartfelt. Just imagine if, due to his momentary negligence and carelessness, his delicate wife was put in a dangerous situation, not only would the old man reprimand him, he himself couldn’t forgive himself, after all, he is her man, her protector! "Alright, your honesty satisfies me, so this time, although you made a mistake, I can still give you a score of seventy!" Oh my, a score of seventy is considered high? You must know that for him, the sniper king in the Mercenary Realm, a tactical genius from the Hunter Training Base, even ninety points was an unacceptable score; his self-demand had always been a perfect score! Perhaps this beautiful president is selecting a bodyguard by husband standards? Isn’t this too picky! But there’s no way! Right now the beautiful woman is both the examiner and the judge, because she’s the one being pursued, and I’m the pursuer, right? You have to know that modern society is a time where there are more wolves than meat; for a long time, we guys have been the least humanely treated low-level creatures! "Thanks for the compliment!" As soon as he spoke, Lin Mu knew that this was a hypocritical statement. "Haha, I like your honesty. That’s exactly why I gave up a corporate executive position for you, a simple bodyguard!" The beauty CEO was obviously referring to the matter with Fatty Liu Hui. "Do you know? Manager Liu from the HR department, even though he was arrogant and embezzled public funds, I tolerated his existence because he indeed had the ability to work independently. But to accommodate someone as minor and insignificant as you, a little bodyguard, I fired him without hesitation. Do you know why?" "Could it be, am I more important to you than he is?" Lin Mu was genuinely confused. "Exactly!" As soon as she said it, she felt that the other person might misunderstand her intentions! So, the beautiful CEO viewed him as a husband-like figure, otherwise, how could a small bodyguard be compared to a senior manager? His heart was instantly sweet as if he had eaten a honey date! "Don’t misunderstand!" Realizing his smugness, the beauty CEO quickly poured a bucket of cold water over that animal’s fiery mood, "What I mean is that a bodyguard’s importance might not be less than that of a senior manager?" After the cold water, Lin Mu instantly cooled down and thought, what trick is this beauty playing again? "Think about it, a personal bodyguard is tied to the CEO’s life and safety, whereas a senior manager, at most, can only make more money for the boss. Comparing money with life, isn’t a bodyguard more important than a senior manager?" Indeed, a doctoral level of Harvard MBA theory, a few words left Lin Mu speechless, nodding repeatedly in agreement. Seeing this man nodding repeatedly, the always cold yet beautiful President Su felt a rare sense of inexplicable emotion. This man had previously stood up for her and blocked a knife without complaint, and although he was simple and honest, with no immediate sense of familiarity, he was much better than those detestable rich second generations. At least Lin Mu always directly expressed his thoughts, like a real man, unlike those second-generation rich guys who wear hypocritical masks every day but are secretly vile. And this time, Lin Mu finally saw Sophie, the beautiful CEO, in full: a combination of beauty and wisdom, the incarnation of a fairy and a witch! A versatile wonder woman combining unparalleled grace and charm, with deep strategy! Sёarᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. At this moment, the stunningly beautiful woman, akin to a sweeping beauty capable of toppling a city, was staring at him intensely with a provocative and inscrutable gaze, "Unfortunately, you only have a month, and today is only the true beginning. It seems you are quite confident you can make me fall in love with you within a month?" "If I say I am confident, would you believe me?" Lin Mu retorted, then flashed a radiant smile that seemed harmless to humans and beasts alike, "But I will try my best. Even if we can’t become a couple in the end, we will still be friends, right? And my most important task this month is to protect the woman I cherish most from any danger. I know it’s a big challenge, but as a man, I should accept the toughest challenges, shouldn’t I?" These words warmed Sophie’s heart. If it were the end of the world now, and this moment happened to be the instant before doomsday, she couldn’t guarantee she wouldn’t throw herself into his warm embrace. Because at that moment, this seemingly ordinary man was simply like the black horse prince of her dreams. Well, at least the tone he spoke with just now, although not with grand promises, gave her infinite moves, making her feel an impulse to fall in love at any time! Well, tonight she can go to sleep sweetly, but life must go on. If he wants to become her black horse prince, he still has to work hard in this month. Handling a man, well, it’s like dealing with a blindfolded donkey; just put a piece of grass in front of them and you can lead them wherever you want to go. Lin Mu, this animal, is actually just such a tame donkey, a super donkey with the potential to become a giant beast. "Alright, since you’re so sincere, let’s start playing by our game rules. From now on, you’re my personal bodyguard. At 3 PM this afternoon, I’m going to participate in the annual dragon boat race in Wancheng. Accompany me to participate, go change your clothes and get ready to go!" "Still need to change clothes?" Lin Mu was surprised, "Hmm, unless you want Su’s Great Enterprise, renowned for its fashionable outfits in Southern China, to be embarrassed by your shabby outfit?" "Hmm, alright then!" Even though he couldn’t help but criticize his fiancée CEO’s snobbish stance on attire, Lin Mu knew she meant well. After all, as the future son-in-law of the top company in Wancheng and the top 500 globally, he couldn’t look too shabby, could he? Looking at the man beside her, who was infatuated with her, Sophie felt a wave of warmth in her heart. Oh god, could this man she only met once really be her destined partner? This is absolutely unimaginable in the eyes of the once proud and cold-as-ice President Su.
