Outside Ling Tianya’s lounge, Big Guy and Small Guy stood on each side of the doors. Their eyes were sharp as an eagle’s, and they stood as tall and proud as statues. Everyone that walked past Ling Tianya’s lounge was intimidated by their gazes. In just seconds, Ling Tianya’s lounge seemed to have become forbidden ground on set.
Big Guy took a look at his brother, his brows furrowing. “Small Guy, you were a little too agitated today.”
Small Guy looked at his brother, knowing that he was referring to when he had pushed that Director to the floor and argued with Ling Tianya.
Small Guy’s face fell, unhappiness showing in his eyes. “I don’t get it. What did Mr. Du mean? How could he arrange for us to follow a woman around?”
Big Guy was more logical than Small Guy, and his frown deepened at Small Guy’s complaints. “Mr. Du is the boss’s right-hand man. He wants what the boss wants. We are the boss’s men, so we do whatever the boss wants and that’s all. What are you complaining about?”
“That’s true, but…” Small Guy didn’t look too pleased. “We are two of the best out of the whole protection squad. We protected the boss through thick and thin. We’re destined for big things, so how can we just be guard dogs for a woman? Don’t you see all the looks everyone has been giving us? There are people gossiping, saying that we struck gold and have gotten into the good graces of the boss’s woman. They’re saying that protecting her is a cushy job and we can just sit back and relax!” The more Small Guy ranted, the angrier he got. “Are we the type of people to be afraid of death? Isn’t it a waste of talent to be beside such a woman?”
Seeing how agitated Small Guy was getting, Big Guy immediately chided him, “Shut up, Miss Ling is the boss’s woman and our future boss. You better mind your words!”
They had witnessed with their own eyes how far their boss was willing to go for Miss Ling. It wasn’t just a usual affection. If even Mr. Du was impressed by Miss Ling, then Miss Ling definitely had to be an impressive woman.
They were a little unhappy about being assigned to guard a woman when the two of them were men used to their lives being on the line.
“Hmph. I don’t know what our boss is thinking. What does he see in this woman?” Small Guy huffed.
“Small Guy, mind your words. Are you questioning the boss? This is a very serious issue!”
Small Guy knew that he had said something that he shouldn’t have, but he continued being stubborn about it. “I’m not questioning him, but you saw it earlier! Miss Yi Tian cried so much for her, but Miss Ling was completely unmoved by it and was just watching coldly. Miss Yi Tian cried for her! Everyone else was moved, but she has an iron heart. What’s with her attitude?”
Big Guy had seen everything that happened earlier too. Yi Tian’s tears were so sincere and made him want to care for her, but Miss Ling was too cold to her. Big Guy saw a shadow of his boss in her for that reason. What would his boss do if he was faced with a fangirl who was spouting tears like a fountain before him?
He would probably react just as Miss Ling did, or maybe even colder than that.
Realizing that, Big Guy didn’t think there was anything wrong with how Ling Tianya had responded to her.
Small Guy didn’t seem to think of that, though. He had only looked at things on the surface. He had a strong alpha-male personality and liked to side with and protect the weak. That was his greatest weakness.
Big Guy couldn’t help but be nervous about that. His boss had let the two of them come to protect Miss Ling and that showed how much faith his boss had in them. He had to keep a tight watch on Small Guy to prevent him from offending Miss Ling.
