The Most Powerful Bodyguard - Chapter 980: Letting It Slip
Yang Yan's right pinky finger moved slightly without being noticed, and he sighed softly in his heart:
"How do you know these things? Are you following us?"
Alizee shook her head immediately after hearing this:
"It's not that I'm following you, it's just that here, nothing can escape my notice."
"Oh!"
Yang Yan had expected to be curious, but unexpectedly he just responded with a bland "oh" and then said:
"It's not a big deal; when the time comes, Tian will take her back to the family."
"Also, I don't think the Audin family dares to easily make enemies now, right?"
Saying this, Yang Yan suddenly leaned back, closing his eyes:
"I'm tired, I'll sleep a bit more."
Alizee couldn't help but smile pursing her lips.
How come she never noticed this laid-back side of Yang Yan before?
In Alizee's mind, Yang Yan has always maintained an almost perfect image.
"I'll sleep a bit too."
Not knowing what to do by staying, Ao Tian got up to head out.
"Isn't your room upstairs?"
Seeing Ao Tian about to leave, Alizee curiously asked.
Ao Tian turned back, looking at her with a mischievous smile:
"My room is outside, naturally, I go outside to sleep. Sister-in-law, want to join?"
Alizee rolled her eyes, turning away, ignoring this guy who was deliberately talking nonsense.
Ao Tian, finding no amusement, left on his own.
"Yang Yan, you go back to sleep, I have some matters to deal with today."
Alizee sat for a while, seeing Yang Yan leaning against the sofa with his eyes closed, she was about to get up and leave.
"What's up?"
As they sat together, Yang Yan grabbed her without opening his eyes and said, "Stay with me sleeping."
Alizee pursed her lips but didn't refuse.
Only then did Yang Yan slowly open his eyes, looking at her, then stood up and held her entirely in his arms, striding upstairs.
...
"By the way, after all this time, the beautiful Miss Alizee, I still don't know what you do for a living!"
"Although I don't know your family, I can sense it's surely powerful."
Yang Yan and Alizee were lying bare on the bed, completely open with each other.
"This?"
Alizee's face broke into a mischievous smile: "Guess!"
"Hmm—let me think."
Yang Yan genuinely pondered:
"Are you a mafia princess? Maybe your family is involved in all sorts of shady dealings…"
"Go to hell!"
Seeing Yang Yan wanted to say more, Alizee immediately protested, grabbing his arm, her nails digging in deeply.
"Then you better tell me!"
Yang Yan said with a bitter smile.
Alizee lay beside him, hesitated for a moment, looking into Yang Yan's eyes for a long time, wondering what she was thinking.
Finally, as if compromising, she sighed and said seriously:
"Actually, I am a member of a laboratory."
"However, my lab is quite special, or rather, quite powerful, so..."
"So, you're also powerful?"
Yang Yan smiled, picking up her words.
Finally, they got to the main topic!
Yang Yan had longed for this day for who knows how long.
However, the development was beyond imagination; he didn't expect Alizee to open up so quickly.
"Since you put it that way, I'm curious about what this lab actually is, to be so remarkable."
Yang Yan tried to make himself seem casual, everything so natural, not wanting Alizee to feel any discomfort.
"It's not something others can see just like that!"
Alizee giggled.
Yang Yan suddenly looked at her with bright eyes, stared at her for a long time, feeling the time was ripe, then said seriously:
"Do you think I'm just anyone else?"
Alizee, already feeling shy under his gaze, then hugged him tightly, her bashfulness clear as day.
"Of course, you're not—"
Ding!
Just then, Alizee's phone suddenly rang.
Her expression changed slightly; looking at Yang Yan, she finally picked up the phone from the bed and answered it.
"Hello?"
"The lab needs you now."
A deep voice came from the phone.
Yang Yan felt a slight stir in his heart.
That familiar voice, how could he forget?
Manhattan!
For an instant, Yang Yan thought about simply barging into his lab, forcibly taking Manhattan away.
By then, would he dare to defy, with things like the Seven-Star Grass or his own woman on the line?
But this guy was loyal to heaven, even if his life was in hand, he might not comply.
"Okay!"
Alizee responded, and the other end had already hung up.
"Is something up?"
Yang Yan didn't specifically ask about it.
The more it came to this, the more cautious he became, not wanting Alizee to get suspicious.
Alizee slowly released Yang Yan with both hands, pretending to be calm and said:
"Maybe something happened, I have to go over there."
Yang Yan nodded, letting her go:
"Then go quickly! Work is important."
"Okay!"
Five or six minutes later, Alizee was dressed and hurried out of the villa.
Where the lab was, Yang Yan didn't know, nor had the mind to follow.
Anyway, he will go eventually, but not yet.
After all, this matter just needed a little more time.
He needed to wait for a more suitable moment.
Alizee went out in the morning and didn't return until evening.
Upon returning, she went straight to Yang Yan's place.
Yang Yan hadn't left the villa the entire time.
Though bored, he managed to pass the time, reading books and eating, handling what seemed like a tedious waiting time.
In reality, he wasn't idle.
Because waiting for Alizee was something he needed to do.
"Lin Yan!"
Alizee opened the door and ran to the second floor.
Yang Yan happened to be coming downstairs.
So, Alizee ran up and hugged him tightly.
Yang Yan ruffled Alizee's hair, smiling and said:
"Just about to eat, join me?"
Alizee paused, then raised her head:
"Just as I haven't eaten yet!"
Yang Yan held her hand, leading her downstairs.
"Our lab's doctor found a great specimen."
As they walked downstairs, Alizee began to speak actively.
Maybe she was too excited, wanting to share joy.
Or perhaps it was out of trust in Yang Yan.
"Oh? A specimen?"
Yang Yan casually echoed, showing no real interest.
Alizee was still immersed in joy, saying without hesitation:
"Yes! The doctor discovered, by chance, that one of those women has a special constitution, just right for the doctor's current research."
Alizee's face was full of excitement.
Seeing Yang Yan not responding, only giving her a glance, Alizee immediately realized she might have said too much.
But he wouldn't know what that means, right?
And she only mentioned the doctor, without even saying Manhattan's name.
