"Third Young Master, you’ve just gotten off the plane, don’t you want to rest for a bit?" Lie Feng was worried about his health.

"No need. With such a large shipment, it’s necessary to clear the channels and make all the trade preparations before it arrives," he didn’t want to waste any time.

...

"Why are you crying? Are you very upset?" Ying walked over, plucked the flowers in front of Ye Lu, the tear drops on them brimming and even touching, reflecting the sunlight.

Ying looked down at the tears on the petals, his bewildered eyes becoming even more blurred.

"These are tears of joy." Ye Lu was in a good mood, her face teeming with smiles, "To worry for a person, to miss a person, to be anxious for a person, to have him fill your heart, feeling worried and sad when you don’t see him, but wholly happy when you do. How could I be upset?"

Ying squinted his eyes, quietly watching her radiant smile, as if basking her face in brilliant sunshine.

Speaking of the person on the phone, her eyes were full of happiness.

A feeling akin to envy rose in his heart.

"You’re really good to him."

"Because he’s my husband, the one I love. In the future, you will also meet someone who loves you deeply, who cares for you, and you’ll feel very happy."

Ying’s eyes were quite puzzled, what is happiness, why did he feel nothing towards this word.

"Right, Ying, I think you have potential, and I would like to hire you as my bodyguard. Would you like to?" Ye Lu decided to ask his opinion first, as he might have his own thoughts and not necessarily want to follow her.

"Bodyguard?" Ying didn’t even think before nodding, "Okay."

"You agree just like that, without thinking?" Ye Lu was speechless, feeling that he agreed without thought, this man really was single-minded.

Ying shook his head; he had nowhere else to go anyway, he only knew her, so he might as well follow her.

He didn’t like the feeling of being alone.

Having to think and arrange everything for himself.

He wanted... someone to command him, to control all of him, so he wouldn’t feel so adrift and empty, not knowing what to do, not knowing where to go, this feeling of confusion made him uneasy. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

If he followed her, he just had to obey her orders, then he wouldn’t have to wonder what he should do.

"Alright, then you can set your terms, how much salary you want." Ye Lu could only ask.

"Salary, you’re taking care of all my living expenses, and you’re giving me money too?" Ying expressed a surprised look.

Ye Lu felt it was truly difficult to communicate with him, this person seemed to be very unfamiliar with things like wages, what kind of life had he been living before, goodness, was his previous boss so stingy with him?

"You don’t charge money for work? How much do you want?"

"I don’t know." He just had no feeling for such things and had no concept of money, "Why don’t you give me..."

He held up a finger.

"Ten thousand?"

He shook his head.

Ye Lu’s face turned pale, seeing his dumbfounded expression, yet in reality, when it came to money, he was quite cunning.

"You want one hundred thousand?"

Ying shook his head again.

Ye Lu’s face twisted, it couldn’t be one million, could it? That would be an exorbitant demand, too much.

"Hey, don’t be too outrageous, I can’t afford to hire you for one million." Ye Lu felt like coughing up blood, even more expensive than a professional bodyguard, he’s still unpolished jade, and yet he’s asking for so high a price.

"It’s not one million." Ying’s face showed an innocent expression, "It’s one hundred."

This time, Ye Lu’s jaw dropped to the floor, even more incredulous than if it were one million.
