Chapter 755: Chapter 755: Need to Find Her a Bodyguard
Li Shengxiao listened to her calm explanation, she even lifted her hand to show him, proving that her injury wasn’t serious. He grasped the little woman’s wrist tightly and pulled her hand down, his gaze unwavering as he stared at the person in front of him. His voice was hoarse, “Next time, you don’t need to do that.”
“Huh?” Don’t need to do what?
Rong Yan lifted her head, somewhat confused.
Li Shengxiao’s gaze slid down from her fair and clean face, landing on her plump lips raised towards him, their moist color unexpectedly tightening his throat. Controlling the heat in his lower abdomen, he said softly, “You don’t need to get hurt.”
“What I want is you, Yanyan. No matter what happens, I want you to prioritize your own safety first! Because to me, nothing is more important than you!”
If those three thugs had really succeeded, he could make them completely disappear from this world. He could force himself to act as if nothing had happened. It would all be better than seeing her hurt, seeing her in danger!
He was a normal man; he didn’t disregard these matters.
But more than that, what he cared about was her as a person!
He didn’t want to see her covered in wounds, nor did he want her to fall into even more dangerous situations.
Li Shengxiao tightened his grip on her wrist, firmly stating, “Remember clearly next time, nothing is more important than yourself!”
Rong Yan met his eyes, feeling her heartstrings tremble slightly. She fell silent for a moment, pursed her lips, and nodded in agreement, “I understand.”
Li Shengxiao slightly loosened his hold on her wrist and continued, “Tomorrow, I will have Gu Ming arrange a bodyguard to stay by your side and ensure your safety.”
“A bodyguard? I don’t think that’s necessary. I’m not at the point where I need a bodyguard.” Rong Weiwei had been taken into police custody, she shouldn’t encounter such situations again.
Yet, Li Shengxiao was still not reassured and insisted forcefully, “I will have Gu Ming arrange a suitable candidate for you, otherwise, I’ll have him personally protect you!”
Gu Ming was his right-hand man, skilled in many ways.
He might barely pass as a bodyguard, but overall his abilities were not bad. Besides protection, he could also assist Rong Yan with various tasks such as running errands and handling simple social engagements.
“You are familiar with Gu Ming, so you shouldn’t feel uncomfortable.”
If Gu Ming knew that, in Li Shengxiao’s mind, he barely qualified for a bodyguard’s job, he would probably be so frustrated that he’d be on the verge of spitting blood, but fortunately, he was unaware.
Rong Yan shook her head like a rattle-drum, “No, no, I don’t want Assistant Gu. You should keep him for yourself!”
What a joke, Gu Ming was an executive assistant of the Li Group, someone she knew from her usual circles. What would she, a third-tier actress, do with a high-level assistant like him? That would be too exaggerated.
She knew that if she refused one, she would have to accept another, so she took a step back proactively, “Let’s stick with a bodyguard then.”
Rong Yan herself thought that having a precaution wouldn’t be a bad idea. She lifted her head, her bright eyes shining, “Find me a suitable female bodyguard. One that can always be by my side without it seeming strange.”
As for the salary, she would certainly pay it from her own earnings. She hoped Li Shengxiao wouldn’t find someone too expensive for her, just a normal one with a salary she could afford would suffice.
Without being stubborn about not wanting a bodyguard, Li Shengxiao put aside the idea of having Gu Ming serve as her bodyguard and after pondering for a moment, said, “Okay, I’ll have Gu Ming keep an eye out for you.”
