The Beautiful CEO’s Close Bodyguard

Chapter 434: Chapter 0435: Trading Conditions

The manager’s words caused Lin a moment of temptation. Despite being called the richest heir in Su City, his so-called authority was borrowed from the Lin Family’s reputation. Anyone determined enough could easily unravel his act.

But if he were to collaborate with the Xiao Family, things would become different. It is common for the upper-class society to have close interactions, so he could fully leverage the Xiao Family’s power in Su City to solidify and expand his own social circle.

Seeing Lin tempted, the manager said no more. Some things are better left understated, as saying too much might produce the opposite effect.

Following the manager back to the restaurant, the manager took him to a suite on the third floor and then went off to attend to other matters.

Lin stood at the door, hesitating for a long while before he knocked.

Honestly, Lin was somewhat worried. After all, rumors had it that Lady Xiao was a cruel and ruthless woman. Despite appearing gentle and graceful, she was extremely formidable inside. He wanted to find an ally in the upper-class, but he feared becoming merely a pawn in their games.

Pushing the door open, Lin immediately saw a woman lying on the sofa, wearing only a seductive, see-through silk nightgown, her long, fair legs exposed to the air. Due to the angle, he couldn’t see her face clearly.

But since she was the only woman in the room, Lin concluded that she must be Lady Xiao.

Unexpectedly, Lady Xiao seemed well-maintained daily. Her legs were long and fair, clearly well-cared for daily, looking as youthful as a woman in her thirties. Tsk, tsk, tsk, Lin found himself staring blankly.

Honda Sakura was lying on the sofa with her eyes closed, taking a rest. Hearing some noise, she slowly opened her eyes but remained lying still. After a while, seeing that Lin hadn’t approached, Honda Sakura slowly sat up. She looked towards the door and saw Lin staring blankly at her legs.

Honda Sakura chuckled foolishly, put her legs down, took a blanket from nearby to cover them, thus blocking Lin’s view and bringing him back to reality.

Lin coughed lightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed. Honda Sakura was about the same age as his mother, and yet he had been mesmerized by her. When had his stability become so weak!

"Since you’re here, come sit," Honda Sakura said with a light smile, not blaming Lin for staring blankly earlier. When she was lying there just now, she was cultivating her Bewitching Technique.

The Bewitching Technique she unintentionally emitted could entrap even the strongest men if they had desires and longings, pulling them into the Demon Path of the Bewitching Technique.

After reining in her Bewitching Technique, Lin looked at Honda Sakura again and everything seemed normal.

It was as if he had just had a dream.

Lin sat down opposite Honda Sakura and asked, "You want to collaborate with me?"

Honda Sakura lifted her gaze slightly, her eyes containing a hint of disdain and discontent. Her first impression was that this man was too frivolous, but she didn’t show it. "Not exactly a collaboration; I just want to make a deal with you, Lin."

"Oh?" Lin tapped his crossed leg, trying to portray himself as a big shot, and asked curiously in a suit, "What deal? Let’s hear it."

Honda Sakura leaned forward gently, picked up the coffee from the coffee table, and took a light sip. She was only wearing a nightgown, so when she leaned forward just now, the neckline slipped down, revealing a patch of snowy white skin on her chest.

Lin glanced at it and couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. Honda Sakura was really well-maintained; even her breasts were so splendid. Though she was over forty and slightly sagging, they were still shapely and large—the flesh-colored bra seemed like it could barely contain them, ready to burst out.

"Mr. Lin, have you ever heard the saying, ’The enemy of my enemy is my friend’? Although we can’t exactly call each other enemies, we do share a common foe—Chu Ge. Just by this point alone, I think it’s necessary for us to join forces."

Honda Sakura said calmly.

Lin raised an eyebrow playfully and nodded in agreement, "But I trust even more that Lady Xiao would not easily wish to ally with me. We should discuss each other’s terms."

Seeing that Lin was not falling for it, Honda Sakura’s attitude towards him gained a few more points of respect; she had no interest in cooperating with someone brainless.

What she wanted was someone clever and shrewd to collaborate with.

"It’s simple. I know everything you’ve done in Su City. Your purpose in associating with Shen Mimi, the second young miss of the Shen Family, is nothing more than trying to climb into the upper-class society, right?"

Just now, Honda Sakura had used the Xiao Family’s internal network to thoroughly investigate Lin, so now he had nothing to conceal in front of her. On the contrary, if he deliberately hid something and didn’t tell her, it would reveal his lack of sincerity.

Lin hadn’t expected Honda Sakura to investigate him. He was stunned for a moment, then said with a somewhat unsightly expression, "What does Lady Xiao mean by saying this?"

Honda Sakura shrugged, "Just what it sounds like. I don’t know what methods Mr. Lin has used to actually make those people believe you are the son of Dang City’s wealthiest man, but according to my investigation, you have no direct familial ties with him. Even if there’s a relationship, it’s a distant one, right?"

Honda Sakura lounged on the sofa, her long, fair legs slightly lifted, her face indicating she had already seen through him without needing any rebuttal from him.

Lin was at a loss for words. Seeing Honda Sakura’s confident demeanor, he knew arguing was pointless. So, he stopped trying to justify himself and awkwardly cleared his throat, then asked, "So, does Lady Xiao intend to help me successfully enter the upper-class society?"

Honda Sakura gently nodded, then elegantly stood up and walked to the liquor cabinet, taking out a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses.

She opened the wine, poured a glass for herself and Lin, then gently raised her glass towards Lin, "Yes, how about it? Are you satisfied with this deal, Mr. Lin?"

Honda Sakura gently lifted the wine glass, the crimson liquid casting a beautiful sheen inside, "If Mr. Lin thinks this deal is feasible, then we can consider today we’ve reached a consensus. If Mr. Lin has any other requests, he’s welcome to bring them up. As long as they’re not too excessive, I think I’ll be able to accommodate."

Lin hesitated momentarily. He did not lift his glass but looked at Honda Sakura with a wary expression and asked, "What do you need me to do?"
