122 Liar (2/2)

The two men, one older and one younger, began discussing Iris' need for bodyguards.

”You two have absolutely NO right to make decisions like that for me without informing me first. I am NOT getting bodyguards.” Suddenly, Iris' hoarse, cold voice interrupted the men's deep discussion.

”Baby!” Jin Liwei immediately stood up and crossed the space to reach her in just a few long steps. ”How are you feeling? Are you hurting anywhere?”

Iris slapped his hand away. ”Tell me what you two were just talking about.”

She didn't hear much of their conversation, only catching the part where they were debating whether to hire her some new bodyguards or to give her some of their own subordinates.

Jin Liwei hesitated, not wanting to agitate his girlfriend who clearly awakened in a bad mood. But he would be in deeper trouble if he denied and lied to her, especially since she already overheard them. Having no choice but to be honest, he sighed. ”Baby, your father and I are just concerned about your safety. You were attacked. You were able to defend yourself this time. But what about next time? That's why we think that you need some bodyguards to protect you. You're a celebrity. It's quite normal for celebrities to have bodyguards. This is for your own good, baby.”

Long Tengfei stood a few steps away, watching the two interact with each other.

Iris was shaking in anger as she glared at the two men. One was her boyfriend while the other was the original Iris' father. To her, Long Tengfei was a stranger. She had not personally met with him ever since she woke up in this new body.

However, at this moment, Jin Liwei and Long Tengfei's figures overlapped with the images of her older brother and father in her previous life. They were all the same, these two pairs of different men. They wanted her followed by bodyguards…to protect her! It was for her own safety, for her own good…what bullsh*t! They just wanted to cage her like their own little bird!

If now they wanted bodyguards to follow her everywhere, what would they do next? Give her a curfew? Then what? Lock her up in a mansion because the outside world was too dangerous?

Did she have to live that kind of life again? That suffocating life of being watched all the time? Of having no freedom?

No!

A great panic flooded her like a tsunami. She couldn't live like that again! She would rather die than live a life of no freedom like that again!

”You liar, Jin Liwei! You said you won't cage me! You said you're not going to restrict me, imprison me! You're the same as them! Liar!”
