Ning Beichen acted as if nothing had happened, as if Feng Wu had never appeared last night. He was also fully aware that Feng Wu had bought a house nearby.
Feng Wu probably didn't intend to hide, but rather to do it deliberately for him to see.
The reason Ning Beichen didn't kill her was that Feng Wu was a very interesting woman. She wasn't someone who would slaughter innocents; otherwise, Ning Beichen would never have let her go.
Although Ning Beichen wasn't a good person either, he had his own bottom line, which was why the King of Darkness was feared by so many people.
With Feng Wu around, Ning Beichen finally felt much more relaxed, at least he could sleep soundly at night.
Although he could also call in his own people, Ning Beichen didn't plan to make a big fuss this time, nor did he want anyone to know he was here, so he kept it low-key.
If people knew the King of Darkness was guarding Liu Yilin, it would only be a bad thing for Liu Yilin, not a good one.
Many people revered Ning Beichen, but even more people wanted him dead. If his enemies knew he was here, all the top assassins in the world would come after him, so Ning Beichen had to be discreet.
Moreover, the situation wasn't dangerous enough yet to warrant calling his brothers; he alone was sufficient to protect Liu Yilin's safety.
However, his sister's return this time did introduce a certain variable, and Feng Wu's appearance perfectly compensated for this. Thus, Ning Beichen's decision not to kill Feng Wu was well-considered.
But what Ning Beichen hadn't expected was that Liu Yilin would ask him to protect her sister, saying she wouldn't be in danger at the company during the day and he should pick her up after work.
Ning Beichen had no choice but to have Feng Wu protect Liu Yilin, while he himself protected her sister, Liu Yixin.
However, Liu Yixin was not an easy-going woman; her personality was completely different from her sister's. The only similarity was that when facing him, both of them wore an icy, cold expression, as if he owed them a fortune.
Ning Beichen looked at Liu Yixin and grumbled inwardly with some annoyance, "It's just that we got drunk and slept together for one night, it's not like anyone lost a limb."
But soon, Ning Beichen remembered the crimson rose on the bedsheet and felt a pang of guilt. It was true that no limb was lost, but she had lost her virginity!
Yet Ning Beichen was also frustrated. It wasn't like he had initiated it. She herself had gotten drunk and insisted on going to a hotel. As a grown man, how could he resist her charm?
Alright, since Ning Beichen had no choice, he resigned himself to the situation, treating it as compensation for the fallen blossoms that night.
"I want to go out, I don't need you to follow me."
Liu Yixin was not a docile girl and directly told Ning Beichen this. She didn't need this guy trailing her like a shadow.
"That won't do. It's your sister's order. She's my boss, and I have to obey her."
Ning Beichen said unyieldingly, no matter how Liu Yixin tried to shake him off.
"Ning Beichen, the places I'm going are celebrity gatherings. You, a security guard, will look out of place there."
Liu Yixin said to Ning Beichen in exasperation.
This time, she was going to a gathering hosted by a big director, filled with all sorts of big stars. What would it look like if she brought this guy along? He was just a security guard, clumsy and prone to making a bad impression.
"It's bodyguard."
Ning Beichen corrected her.
"Security guard, I say security guard, and it's a security guard."
Liu Yixin was in a fit of anger.
"Alright, alright, as you wish. Security guard it is."
Ning Beichen couldn't be bothered to argue with her. It was just a director's party, what was the big deal? Ning Beichen attended royal gatherings as easily as drinking water or eating.
In the end, Liu Yixin had no choice but to bring Ning Beichen along because he was too stubborn to persuade, obstinate and unyielding, like a stone.
"Ning Beichen, I'm telling you, when we get there, you can't embarrass me, understand?"
Liu Yixin repeatedly admonished Ning Beichen in the car, which made Ning Beichen both amused and helpless.
"Okay, okay, I understand. I'll be invisible when I get there, alright?"
Ning Beichen finally said to her.
Only then did Liu Yixin show a look of "you know better" and stopped nagging. She turned to the car's rearview mirror to reapply her makeup.
Before long, Ning Beichen drove to a scenic area. This was a wealthy residential district where each villa was independent and equipped with complete facilities.
Ning Beichen didn't know this director and didn't care. He was only responsible for Liu Yixin's safety; as for what she intended to do, Ning Beichen was too lazy to concern himself with it.
However, when Ning Beichen entered, a small problem arose. It wasn't that someone was making things difficult for him, but rather that he encountered Ye Ya'er.
Ning Beichen hadn't expected Ye Ya'er to be here. She was talking to a man and hadn't noticed Ning Beichen.
So Ning Beichen quickly found a corner to hide, not wanting to run into her at such an occasion.
On the contrary, as soon as Liu Yixin saw Ye Ya'er, her eyes lit up, and she immediately went over to greet her. In the entertainment industry, Ye Ya'er was the only female star she admired and liked.
"Hello, Miss Ye Ya'er. My name is Liu Yixin. I like you very much. May I get to know you?"
Liu Yixin said excitedly to Ye Ya'er.
"Of course, I recognize you, Miss Liu Yixin. I know you are quite famous abroad. You are a very talented and renowned musician, and I like you too."
Ye Ya'er said to her very approachable.
Whether it was mutual flattery, you say you like me, I say I like you, we're all good.
However, in this circle, acting one way in front of someone and another behind their back was commonplace.
Meanwhile, Ning Beichen sat in a corner, holding a cocktail and drinking, with no interest in the celebrities coming and going.
Everyone here today, ostensibly for a gathering, actually had their own agendas. This big director was about to start filming a major investment film, so they all wanted to get a foot in the door, show their faces, and see if there were any opportunities.
Of course, for a top-tier star like Ye Ya'er, this wasn't necessary. She had plenty of resources and no need to worry. Today, she was just there to show her support.
As for the director surnamed Zhang, his eyes lit up when he saw Liu Yixin. He had long heard of this renowned musical talent from overseas and was now seeing her in person, finding her even more beautiful than he imagined.
