The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 267

Chapter 267: 267

Waiters passing by with tea and water gave curious looks at the two men, accurately speaking, at Tan Xin first, then at Ye Tian. They gazed at the former because he was the owner of this place and at the latter because they couldn’t fathom what sort of person would have the clout to make this scion of the Tan Family sit down for a proper talk. Tan Xin, he was no ordinary individual.

"You really shouldn’t be like this." Ye Tian quietly looked at the outstanding man before him, the most remarkable generation of the Tan Family, an absolute expert in the political arena.

Tan Xin nodded, "Right, I really shouldn’t be like this. If my sister saw this, she would definitely scold me. A man can be worried about anything, but should never fret over a woman. When are you two getting married?"

"It’s not certain yet. Probably around New Year’s Day. She said to keep it low-key. It’s just between the two of us, no need for too many people to know."

Looking at him speak, there was a lot of envy in Tan Xin’s eyes, but not a hint of jealousy. He too had dreamed of such matters, entering the marriage hall with the woman he loved, to be together for life. But the more it went, the more this fantasy faded away. The slaughter in the world of fame and fortune, political gaming, glitters in front of others, and bitterness behind them.

Big families, especially those that began with politics, who doesn’t have lives lost under their name, not to mention during war times, even after the founding of the nation, there were campaigns like the Three-Anti and Five-Anti that cost lives. There are plenty of ways to scheme and backstab in politics; none of these players are simple characters. Therefore, it’s not without reason that these offspring of revolutionaries opt to abandon politics for business. Tan Xin’s choice to take the path of the Min Alliance was also decided by his family, while Tan Xiao focused on business, advancing steadily under the family’s protection. Tan Yaozong steered the Tan Family ship steadily, this helmsman firmly holding the fate of all in his hands.

Everyone in Tianhe City knows that Tan Xin is a young talent, but how many know his brilliance is only set against the invisible darkness behind him?

"Then... I wish you happiness."

"Thank you."

Tan Xin looked at him, a trace of admiration flickering in his eyes, "You know what? I really never had much hope for you. I even thought about killing you at one point. Haha, I’m not bluffing you. Don’t think because I’m a literary man, or just a slacker in the political field, that I’m not ruthless."

"Haha, if you’re a slacker, then no one’s really working their hearts out."

Tan Xin waved his hand, suggesting that he was being too flattering. "What working their hearts out? It’s just struggling for one’s own interests. To be honest, the path I’ve walked in the political world, at least up to now, has been arranged for me by others. Even my woman was chosen for me by my sister. She says, not only am I my own person but also I belong to the Tan Family. If I can’t even realize this, then I’m a complete failure. A man, how can he not have a woman he likes. Whether for career or for a woman. But a man’s greatest enemy isn’t money, time, or even responsibility, not life but women and complacency. So... I can only opt out."

If there were alcohol, Tan Xin would probably drink himself into a stupor.

"It’s good now anyway, she has people who care and love her, the man she’s marrying is not bad, at least in the future Tianhe still holds a place for her. I used to think only I could give her happiness, and I still do, but when I saw the joy... that happiness when she was looking at houses, I realized that her happiness can’t be provided just by money and power. In her world, true happiness is not something to be compromised, and I, am her compromise, while you are her choice of no compromise. So, I’ll have to trouble you to take good care of her in the future. If you don’t treat her well, I will take her back any time."

"No problem."

Drinking coffee as a substitute for alcohol, the two men downed a cup.

When Tang Su came out of the building, Ye Tian was already waiting for her in the lobby downstairs. Leaning on the soft sofa, his face wore an utterly content expression. As he watched her, he held a newspaper in his hand, it’s unclear what he found so engrossing.

"Did you find a good one, anything to your liking?" Ye Tian stood up and asked after putting down the newspaper.

Tang Su nodded, "I found a mid-sized one, ninety square meters, the space is quite nice. Do you want to take a look?"

A real estate saleslady appropriately handed over a floor plan to them, but Ye Tian waved it off, "No need to look, if my wife says it’s good, it is good enough for me."

Tang Su curled her lips into a smile and playfully aimed a knock at his head, but he effortlessly dodged, "Wife, now that we have chosen our nest, when are we going to get our marriage certificate?"

"That depends on your performance."

"What kind of performance? I’m pretty amazing, you know." Speaking of this, Ye Tian intentionally puffed out his chest.

Tang Su rolled her eyes, "Just don’t type out the words on the computer while kneeling on the keyboard."

A method that really tests one’s skill.

The dogfighting incident was finally unavoidable.

The person Ye Tian had planted inside was discovered and driven out by Luo Liang with a beating. Who knows where he got the courage, but he was bellowing on the streets about kicking Ye Tian out of Tianhe. If Ye Tian didn’t leave, he threatened to break both his legs and feet and toss him into the dogfighting ring as feed.

Hearing the news brought back by Xu Qingyang, a cold smirk hung on Ye Tian’s lips, "I want to see whether he drives me out of Tianhe or I chop him to death in Tianhe."

It was already night time, dark and windy, apt for carrying out such deeds.

Ye Tian’s Audi A4 headed toward Luo Liang’s villa, whether it was for negotiation or murder, it was all going to unfold tonight.

But soon after he left, another car drove to Fengyue Inn, a silver Aston Martin.

Zhang Houtu and Zhang Daniu watched the woman stepping out of the car and moved towards her at the same time. That overwhelming aura of danger was not something ordinary people could emit. Xu Qingyang, however, watched the woman descending from the car, utterly unconcerned, that was the kind of person he was, seemingly indifferent to everything, at least on the surface, yet in his heart he was sharper than anyone else in calculation. People are always selfish, it’s human nature, and Xu Qingyang never went against human nature.

"Do you also need to stop me when I’m alone?" Liu Liyue draped in a Purple Python cloak, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, her lips a bright red, playing with a Blood-Red Glaze Crescent in her hand, faced two men much taller than her without a trace of nervousness.
