564 A Promise (2/2)

”Thank you for staying with me for so long… You must be very busy.”

”I'm indeed very busy.” Jiang Chen laughed without humility at all.

Liu Yao rolled her eyes, pouted her mouth, and her delicate fingers twisted the meat on his arm.

Rather than feeling pain, it was rather enjoyable; it was like being bit by a kitten.

They went into all the stores at the square. The clothes Liu Yao liked, Jiang Chen swiped his card without looking at the price. Since the trial of zeros in his card was enough to buy the building.

The salesperson was ecstatic at the way they swept through the store as she wished it was her that stood beside him. But when she saw the appearance and figure of his female companion, realizing the gap, she immediately gave up on the unrealistic idea.

After they stuffed the clothes into the car, they went to the theater and finished watching the movie Liu Yao acted in.

Jiang Chen promised to her before after the film was released, he will watch the movie with her like they were a couple. The reason why he stayed after taking care of the business in Wanghai was to fulfill the promise he made.

The credits began to play on the screen, Jiang Chen smiled while watching the crowded theater. He gently squeezed Liu Yao's hand and whispered into her ear.

”The last time we watched this you were sitting on my legs, this time you're holding my hand. We watched this movie twice.”

Liu Yao understood the tease in Jiang Chen's voice, she remembered the time he picked her up and her face instantly turned red. She scoffed him in a quiet voice, ”Pervert…”

Liu Haotian at the seat in the back rolled his eyes so many times while watching them flirt.

How lonely does one have to be to watch a movie alone? The two couples who sat beside him looked at him with a peculiar expression so many times. But because of his ”work needs”, not only did he need to follow them; he had to watch them which were beyond the definition of lonely.

The people at the top viewed Jiang Chen's safety as a top concern especially after an unknown force attempted an assassination. It related to their international image and they must ensure nothing happens to him while in the country. Because of this, while Liu Haotian accompanied him for the business investment opportunity, another task he had on this trip was to protect him.

While on the surface only he followed them, around the theater, at least ten General Staff Department agents followed them. Once any situation occurred or is about to occur, the experienced anti-terrorist experts will be able to stop any attackers who dared to step foot here…

Because of this, Jiang Chen who planned to lure the rat out felt rather helpless.

It was his last two days and no attacker appeared, the opponent seemed to have forgotten about this.

When they came out of the theater, they grabbed dinner at a high-end restaurant. Her vivid red lips bit on the straw and Liu Yao carefully observed Jiang Chen's face. She suddenly asked.

”What are you looking at?”

”A beautiful girl.”

”You're lying.”

”…” Jiang Chen replied with a helpless look.

”Is it not convenient to tell me?”

”Whatever, it is nothing that must be kept a secret,” Jiang Chen sighed, spun the fork in his hand, ”someone plans to assassinate me.”

A wary expression appeared on Liu Yao's face.

”Are you scared?” Jiang Chen teased.

For some reason, Liu Yao pouted with jealousy in her voice.

”I'm not scared. Since I'm only your mistress, after all, they at least should pick someone with higher value if they want to kidnap me?”

”Oh? What if they are my enemy?” Jiang Chen smirked, ”the type that doesn't seek any gains and only wants to see me suffer?”

”If anything happens to me, will you feel agony?” Liu Yao asked abruptly.

Jiang Chen paused and forced a smile.

”Why would you ask this?”

Although he didn't directly answer the question, the hesitation in his eyes told Liu Yao the answer she wanted to hear as a smile emerged on her face.

”What are you smiling at?”

”Nothing, I just think that when you're not straightforward, you're surprisingly cute.”

”… Isn't this something a man should tell a woman?”

With how animated Liu Yao looked, Jiang Chen found it quite funny. He once again shifted his thoughts to the previous topic. He didn't speak for a while before he suddenly asked.

”Oh, now that you're a celebrity… It is not safe for you to live alone, why don't I arrange a bodyguard for you?... What are you laughing at.”

”Nothing, I just feel really happy.” She was happy about something Jiang Chen didn't understand as the curvature on her mouth turned into a crescent moon.

Jiang Chen suddenly found that the way she laughed was surprisingly beautiful.
