Tangling with the Western Commander

Chapter 124: Chapter 121: Xianxian: This is the bodyguard I hired for you

The Western restaurant is on the top floor.

It is a revolving restaurant that overlooks the entire bustling, glittering night scene of Shanghai.

At this moment, at a prime window-side dining spot.

An attractive and refined gentleman in a high-quality black suit was gracefully and gallantly pulling out a chair for a woman returning from the restroom.

This woman was wearing a black sleeveless dress that made her skin appear even whiter; her full, retro red lips were sexy, yet commanding.

Her demeanor was strikingly chic.

Although they were meeting in a Western restaurant, there was also a folder on the table beside them, containing content related to the movie script they were discussing.

Right then,

Wen Xian smiled slightly, “Dongyuan, I’ve said all there is to say; I really like this movie. I’ve done a lot of homework privately. I truly want to land the leading lady role for this film, so—”

The man opposite her was none other than the boyfriend she had been with for three years.

Even if it was just a title.

Cheng Dongyuan’s gaze returned from the documents to her; he was an exceedingly mature man, and his amber eyes seemed to see through everything.

He said in a gentle tone, “Axian, I know you are earnest, but no one understands you better than I do. Tell me, what’s your real reason for doing this?”

“Of course, it’s my ambition to go international and create work with real substance…”

Before she could finish, Cheng Dongyuan chuckled and interrupted, “You can tell that to someone else, but will I believe it if you tell me?”

As he spoke, a light smile played at the corners of his eyes.

Wen Xian: “…”

Unable to resist, she touched her face and ground her teeth in private.

Cheng Dongyuan gazed deeply at her.

Having not seen her for so long… She had become even more dazzling, charming, spectacular.

Like that fiery red rose, shamelessly beautiful but also replete with profound allure.

Two years later,

she had actually approached him of her own accord; could it be that she regretted her decision?

“…”

Wen Xian’s lips moved slightly, just as she was about to say something else, however, a sudden voice interrupted her.

“My Xianxian is here; I’ve been waiting downstairs for a long time. Why hasn’t this ended yet, what work could make someone go bald?”

As soon as the words fell, Huo Qi’s figure appeared in their field of vision, heading straight towards her.

He ended up sitting right beside her.

Wen Xian looked at him, who had popped up out of nowhere: “…?”

Huo Qi’s abilities to fabricate stories were becoming more and more exquisite, and when he looked back at the person opposite him, he deliberately revealed a somewhat exaggerated surprise:

“Yo, isn’t this Mr. Cheng? Turns out to be Xianxian’s ‘ex-boyfriend.'”

When he said a certain word, he intentionally emphasized it.

Cheng Dongyuan watched Huo Qi, who had suddenly appeared, and smiled faintly, without saying much.

It seemed he didn’t regard such an opponent highly enough to care.

“What are you doing here?”

Wen Xian turned her head to ask him.

What was he up to?

Huo Qi waved over a waiter and said to her, “Isn’t it because there are too many annoying flies around you? For the sake of your personal safety, I’ve spent a great deal of money to hire a bodyguard for you.”

“What, a bodyguard!?” Wen Xian was bewildered.

Cheng Dongyuan: “…”

Huo Qi said this and suddenly gestured towards a certain direction in front of them, his lips curling into a smile:

“Look, I’ve brought the person here for you, and he’s Wu Yanzu’s former bodyguard at that. With his build, he can definitely sweep away all the unscrupulous men plotting around you!”

Upon hearing this, Wen Xian was at a loss for words for a moment and took a light sip of red wine from her tall glass.

Her gaze instinctively turned towards the direction he mentioned for the bodyguard—

The next second.

“Pfft…!”
