Chapter 55.2: Masochist Gangster's Bodyguard (1)
Meanwhile, as the too-strikingly beautiful female supporting character, Zuo XiaoNan's entire life was to act as the propeller to promote the deep love between the two after spending years working hard and loyal to Xiao JingLin.
When the true identity of the heroine was exposed and the fact that she got close to the male protagonist with impure intentions, Zuo XiaoNan received a top-secret order from the upper management to deal with the heroine, but she was instead shot and killed by the male protagonist without mercy.
And so ended her sad and empty life in this world.
Due to the dangerous background of this world, where she was occasionally tasked with missions, Gu MingYue instantly dumped all of her attribute points into Physique and Strength respectively after receiving the original story plot within her mind. After the added attribute points, her Physique was 125 (maximum: 200) while her Strength was 60 (maximum: 200).
This was because the lack of strength could be made up with proficient fighting skills, however, without sufficient physique, Gu MingYue would not have been able to perfectly integrate with this new body and she would not be able to fully utilize the body's skillsets.
This would be extremely fatal for her.
The contents of her work determined the various dangers she would eventually face in this mission world, and there was no way Gu MingYue would allow herself to rush to her death due to a lack of skillsets - when it was entirely reachable in the first place!
She would not allow herself the possibility of dying before completing the mission.
Furthermore, the mission would be considered a failure if Gu MingYue's character died before the male protagonist fell in love with her, and the consequences of failing a mission were absolutely unbearable!
This was why Gu MingYue was currently trying her best to play the role of Zuo XiaoNan - a taciturn and excellent subordinate, who was also a full-time nanny that took care of everything in Xiao JingLin's life.
In addition to protecting Xiao JingLin's safety on weekdays, due to living together in the same apartment, Gu MingYue also had to clean the apartment, do laundry and cook meals for the Young Master...
In fact, the title 'nanny' was added to her job description recently, okay?
However, Xiao JingLin could've totally hired professional masseuses to give him massages, and also a professional housekeeper and chef to take care of the bothersome house chores. But no, to think that such a rich young master would make the best use of a single subordinate by squeezing out every single drop of value she had.
Gu MingYue was amazed, and she was entirely left speechless at this.
If every Boss used their subordinates so thoroughly, a large number of staff would definitely die every year from overwork.
Xiao JingLin was prone to getting headaches, and when he feels uncomfortable, he would only allow one of his two inseparable bodyguards to give him a massage. This was probably due to safety reasons, after all, the masseur would have access to his head.
Shang Ren was a man, so he could never compare to Zuo XiaoNan's control of strength, this was why Zuo XiaoNan had always been the one giving him a massage.
MAs for why he had headaches at a young age, Gu Mingyue summed it up as follows: his mind was too complicated, because he spent too much time thinking about insidious ideas.
Xiao JingLin was about 1.85 meters in height, and like Zuo XiaoNan, he wore a skin that was extremely deceiving to the general public. He looked slightly younger than his actual age, and he exuded the temperament of a sunny, cheerful, and sporty boy, so he was extremely popular with the girls in school during his school days.
He had cool short hair, thick and sharp brows, and a pair of big, bright eyes that were crystal clear. His ears and nose were well defined while his lips were full and sexy, making his entire facial features stand out handsomely.
And whenever he laughed, it'll look as if there were stars flickering within his eyes, and lovely dimples would appear on the side of his raised lips, revealing a mouth full of clean white teeth and two obvious but not too prominent canines. It almost made him look a little childish, but at the same time, he would be oozing a bad-boy vibe. He's the type that would make women of all ages go weak in their legs just by walking down the streets.
At this moment, Xiao JingLin had just had a big fight with AnYuan LiMei, which he referred to as Xiao You, and was in an unprecedented state of Cold War.
He had concealed his identity when he got into this relationship and often did not have free time to accompany his girlfriend due to participating in the underworld affairs, so it was reasonable for Xiao You to feel left out and lost her temper.
But because he thought it was necessary for Xiao You to get used to them being together less due to his increasing responsibilities in the organization, he did not coax her humbly and patiently this time. After that, the young couple's argument quickly escalated as they fought until their negative emotions erupted, finally causing this cold war between them.
Taking advantage of the estrangement between the young couple, Gu MingYue of course had to seize the opportunity to enter between them.
Couples in a Cold War tend to be suspicious of each other due to a lack of communication during the period. And even if both parties missed each other, it was extremely rare for one to swallow his face and apologize first, therefore, many relationships were easily interfered with by a third party during the Cold War period.
Since the beginning of his relationship, Xiao JingLin had been in a weaker and humbler position. This time, he was determined not to accommodate her temper, and for someone as proud as him, the possibility of him giving in was as much as zero.
As for AnYuan LiMei, she was also in a chaotic period in life. She had approached the Xiao Family for the sake of revenge, but instead, she accidentally lost her heart to the son of the enemy, so right now, she was in a state of confusion and pain.
In the original plot, AnYuan LiMei recognized and accepted her feelings for Xiao JingLin after a month and a half and adjusted her revenge plan accordingly, before setting down her pride and approaching the man once again, causing their little couple's feud to end so that they could continue on with their relationship happily.
As for Zuo XiaoNan, who was a cold-blooded and wooden beauty, she was a background image plus a shield from the beginning to the end.
However, now that Gu MingYue had taken over this body, she would do her best to destroy the relationship between Xiao JingLin and AnYuan LiMei. Besides, the two had only been together for less than two months, and their relationship had not experienced major ups and downs, so it was not deep and strong at all.
In fact, if she did not choose to act now, there will most probably not be a much better time for it.
Besides, there is no one in this world who can't live without a certain person, and everyone would eventually meet a few people who are suitable for them in different periods of life. The only thing that existed in the eyes of young couples was the emotions of love and not to mention the short-lived hormonal secretion of lust.
The human body cannot maintain the hormone levels of passionate love for a long period of time, so no matter how strong the initial attraction were, the passionate love would eventually fade with time and transform into a bland and warm family affection, which is the kind that is more stable for a long-term relationship.
So, if Xiao JingLin can fall in love with AnYuan LiMei, why can't he fall in love with me too? Gu MingYue thought as she lowered her head to massage the man while letting a faint smile spread across the corners of her lips.
Coincidentally, Xiao JingLin had just opened his eyes after being relieved of yet another headache, when he caught sight of her short-lived beautiful smile.
His cold and emotionless bodyguard had actually... Smiled!
Xiao JingLin, who was deeply shocked, felt as if he wasn't feeling well.
He silently glanced out the window and hoped that the sun would set from the west today as usual...
Enjoy~
