Yu Bao glanced at her, smiled somewhat awkwardly, and said, "Miss Hua, President Qi sent me here especially to take care of you. President Qi also instructed that you must wait for him to come back..."
"..." Hua Xiaomo fell silent for a moment, truly speechless. He wasn’t here, and still, she wasn’t allowed to leave... He was busy, so why couldn’t she go home to sleep? This is absolutely unreasonable!
Hua Xiaomo cocked her head and eyed the handsome, small-eyed man. "Hey, I want to ask, if President Qi doesn’t come back tonight, do I have to wait until dawn?"
"That... I’m not in charge of that," Yu Bao answered. Even if that were the case, he still had to take care of her until dawn. He must ensure she stayed in this villa. That was the boss’s order; no one could change it, unless the boss himself did.
"Talking to you is really exhausting," Hua Xiaomo complained, her hand rubbing her forehead.
"Miss Hua, if you feel tired, you can go sleep in President Qi’s room for a while," Yu Chai offered. He had just finished speaking when,
"Pfft!" Hua Xiaomo scoffed, giving him a cold look. "What relationship do I have with him that I should sleep in his room? Don’t I have a home, or what?"
Then, Hua Xiaomo simply steeled herself. "Are you going to take me home or not?"
"My apologies," Yu Bao said concisely.
All of a sudden, Hua Xiaomo quickly walked toward him. He was startled, but before he could react, she suddenly threw a punch at his chest.
Yu Bao swiftly turned, agilely dodging her punch and stepping back two strides.
"Heh, your skills aren’t bad!" Hua Xiaomo praised, her eyes lighting up. "Again!"
Yu Bao watched, surprised that this girl, who usually seemed so feminine, actually knew martial arts. He was visibly taken aback, yet he skillfully avoided letting any of her punches land on him. Joking aside, although he was Qi Longbing’s aide—his executive assistant, dealing with all sorts of tasks—he also had a secret role: President Qi’s personal bodyguard. However, compared to Hua Xiaomo, although her martial arts were exciting, to him—a former international champion from years ago—she really wasn’t much. But among women, to be able to do that was a surprise within a surprise.
"Just taking punches and not hitting back, Mr. Yu, are you intentionally letting me win?" Hua Xiaomo said with a laugh, now actually enjoying herself. This guy seems to be very skilled in both taekwondo and martial arts. No matter where I attack, he can precisely dodge.
"Miss Hua, can we stop now?" Yu Bao said. He hadn’t sparred in a long time, and his hands felt slightly numb. Yet, when he felt the force of Hua Xiaomo’s punches, his entire body seemed to come to life.
"Unless you let me land a couple of good punches!" Hua Xiaomo teased playfully. She didn’t really want to hit him. In fact, all she wanted was to get the keys to that luxury car from him, but having been unable to land a hit for so long, she was getting irritated!
Unexpectedly, at her words, he suddenly stopped dodging. THUMP! THUMP! Two punches landed squarely on him.
Hua Xiaomo paused, immediately halting her hands, and quickly stepped forward to touch his chest. "Sorry, are you alright?"
As Yu Bao looked down, he saw her slender hand reaching forward, its skin fair and lovely.
"I’m fine," Yu Bao smiled. Official source ıs 𝗻𝗼𝘷𝗲𝗹•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥
Seeing his gaze fixed on her hand, Hua Xiaomo became self-conscious. She smiled, retracting her hand and examining it. "Mr. Yu, are you surprised that hands like these can throw punches?"
