The Beautiful CEO’s Dragon Blood Bodyguard
Chapter 257 - 0257: Exactly Where Is the Foolishness?

Chapter 257: Chapter 0257: Exactly Where Is the Foolishness?

The car stalled and suddenly, there was silence inside.

The delicate body in his arms felt both familiar and foreign to Long Fei.

That night had been a blur, and he hadn’t even had the chance to process anything.

Today, revisiting the same setting unexpectedly ignited a flame within him, nearly burning himself alive.

He hurriedly let go and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

Lin Yingying also felt awkward and quickly opened the door to climb off Long Fei.

She smoothed her hair with her hand and instructed, "You should sit in the back, we’re not practicing driving anymore."

Long Fei had just started to enjoy the feeling and wanted to practice a little longer!

However, since she wasn’t keen, it wouldn’t be right for him to insist, so he obediently got out and sat in the back seat.

The two didn’t speak the whole way home. When they arrived, the renovation crew on the second floor had just finished their work and were coming out.

Long Fei asked, "How long until the renovations are complete?"

He didn’t want to squeeze in with Lin Yingying and the others, making himself feel like a homeless man.

The renovation crew replied, "For a simple refurbishment, it’ll be done in a week."

Long Fei calmed himself and followed Lin Yingying upstairs.

Lin Shanshan wasn’t there, leaving just the two of them alone in the room.

As soon as he entered, Lin Yingying reminded him, "Remember to change your shoes, okay?"

She leaned against the wall, slipped off her high heels, revealing her clean little feet and slid into house slippers.

Long Fei muttered, "If you’re going to ask someone to change shoes, at least prepare a pair of men’s slippers!"

Feeling dejected, he took off his sneakers and put on a pair of women’s red slippers before entering the house and sitting down on the sofa.

Lin Yingying glanced at his feet and couldn’t help but smirk, teasing, "Those slippers really suit you."

Long Fei shot her a disapproving look and took out his phone to send a WeChat message to Wang Xiaoya, wondering if she made it home yet.

Lin Yingying sat down beside him, her face showing a trace of fatigue, as she asked, "Now that you’ve found the jade, what do you plan on doing next?"

Long Fei pointed at the blueprint on the coffee table and said, "Tomorrow, I’ll find Liu Jinsuo and get him to look for a carpenter to make this Array Plate. When you’re not busy, carry it with you; if you’re in danger, just activate the Array Plate, and you’ll be able to escape easily."

"Is it really that powerful?"

Lin Yingying was skeptical.

Long Fei confidently asserted, "Of course it’s powerful. This is a treasure left by our ancestors, way more useful than any gun or cannon."

"Please!"

Lin Yingying pursed her lips, lifted her little foot, and placed it on his thigh, saying, "Help me rub my feet; I’ve been running around all day and they’re nearly sore to death."

Long Fei had helped her massage them before, and it was quite effective.

Looking at her, Long Fei thought she was becoming more and more like the Empress Dowager, while he seemed like a little eunuch serving her.

He grudgingly grabbed her foot and said to her, "Couldn’t you have washed them first? Aren’t they smelly?"

Lin Yingying, her hand supporting her head as she leaned on the couch, looked at him with a mischievous smile and said, "Just kidding; my feet are fragrant. Don’t believe me? Why don’t you smell them?"

As she was about to lift her foot, Long Fei firmly pressed it down.

Truth be told, Lin Yingying’s feet did smell quite nice, the unique scent belonging only to a woman.

The feet were slender, long, and rosy — quite attractive.

He gazed at Lin Yingying feeling that this female CEO had recently become someone he hardly recognized.

In the past, her demeanor was cold, and she wouldn’t have joked around like this.

"It’s getting late, let’s go to sleep!"

Long Fei stood up and headed to the bathroom.

He was afraid that spending too much time with Lin Yingying might really make him fall for her.

No matter how you looked at it, this woman was too tempting.

Lin Yingying furrowed her brows and watched as he pouted discontentedly, swallowing a sigh.

Although Long Fei had agreed to date her, she could tell that he was deliberately avoiding her.

She didn’t take a shower either, instead, she grabbed a blanket and lay down on the couch to sleep.

After a quick shower, Long Fei came out and called to her, "Director Lin, your turn to shower!"

Lin Yingying got up, unable to hold back anymore, and said with a coy complaint, "Can’t you stop calling me Director Lin?"

Long Fei laughed, "I think it’s quite a fitting address, don’t you?"

Lin Yingying countered, "Have you ever seen a man who calls his girlfriend like that?"

"So, should I call you Yingying?"

Long Fei was drying his head with a bath towel, almost forgetting that he had agreed to be in a relationship with Lin Yingying.

"Call me whatever you love!"

Lin Yingying pouted and got up to go to the bathroom.

A woman can’t possibly fall asleep at night without taking a bath and applying a facial mask.

Long Fei didn’t understand why she was so irritated. Even after settling on a name, she still wasn’t satisfied.

He returned to his own room to lie down and said goodnight to Wang Xiaoya through his phone.

These past few days, Wang Xiaoya had also been giving him the cold shoulder.

No matter what he said, her responses were always short: mhm, ah, okay, never more than three words.

Long Fei sighed after putting down his phone, remembering what Confucius said, "Only petty men and women are difficult to maintain relationships with!"

That saying totally hit the nail on the head.

As soon as the alarm rang at dawn, Long Fei immediately rolled out of bed.

Before leaving, he checked Lin Yingying’s room, satisfied that she was okay, then went out as usual to exhale and inhale the air.

This sister, she didn’t even close her door when sleeping at night, not afraid of him going inside.

Long Fei had now hit a bottleneck; ordinary essential Qi was no longer sufficient for his breakthrough.

One step further and he’d be in the Foundation Establishment Realm, completely transcending the Ancient Martial World.

But, that one step was tremendously difficult to take.

He was thinking that after Liu Jinsuo finished the sixty-four Jade Arhats and the Four Symbols Divine Beasts, he’d set up the Spirit Gathering Array to draw Spiritual Energy over.

By that time, not only could he store Spiritual Energy in the jade, but he could also use it for cultivation.

Once the sun rose, the Yin Yang balance gradually became chaotic.

Long Fei lowered his hands and stored the bit of Spiritual Energy he had just refined into his Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

Since his Dantian wasn’t opened up, he could only store it in the meridians.

By then, Lin Yingying had already washed up and changed into a beige chiffon maxi dress, arranging her hair in front of the mirror.

She asked Long Fei, "What’s the plan for today?"

With the long holiday, Lin Yingying had nowhere to go.

Long Fei replied, "Let’s deliver the drawings to Liu Jinsuo first, and then pick up Chu Feng from the airport."

"That kid is coming back?"

Lin Yingying frowned.

"Right."

Long Fei nodded, curious, "You seem unhappy?"

"Of course I’m unhappy!"

Lin Yingying put down the hairdryer and grumbled with a muffled voice, "Last time, he almost got me into a big trouble. I don’t feel secure working with him!"

Long Fei chuckled, "Don’t worry, he’s my brother, I trust him!"

"That’s why you’re a fool!"

She glared at Long Fei, then headed to the door to change into a pair of comfortable flat sandals and went downstairs first.

Long Fei watched her leave with a speechless face, wondering where exactly he had been foolish?

Why did Wang Xiaoya also call him a fool?

Of course, he had no idea that Lin Yingying had deliberately left her door open for him last night after her bath.

To think she did that for the dog, wasting her thoughtfulness in vain.

The two of them drove first to the Hundred Herbs Pharmacy. Liu Jinsuo and his apprentice had worked overnight, having polished off the outer layer of the raw stones. Now, only shaping and carving were left.

Lin Shanshan had kept vigil all night and her efforts were finally not in vain.

At dawn, she got the jade bracelet she had been dreaming of.

Liu Jinsuo had used two halves of a raw stone to make one bracelet each.

The central part was used to carve into Jade Arhats.

In the end, a total of twenty bracelets were made, and Lin Shanshan, Lin Yingying, and An Xiaoke each received a pair.

They chose carefully, fearing their own might be flawed.

The remaining seven pairs of bracelets were all made of glass-type jade.

On the market, each would start at least at a hundred thousand.

Long Fei instructed Liu Jinsuo to pack them in special gift boxes, thinking about the women he knew, fearing these jade bracelets wouldn’t be enough to give away.
