BXBX NOVEL Chapter 346 Bragging His Girlfriend
Meanwhile, at Ye Wang.
Inside a room that relies upon the sunlight piercing through the room as the source of light, two figures stared at each other in silence inside a small room with antique furniture.
Behind the desk on the deeper side of the room, Ye Huizhong smoked on his pipe before releasing a waft of smoke from his mouth.
After a few moments of silence that felt like forever, he spoke to a young man standing opposite him. "Did you notice any difference so far?"
Raising his head slightly, Dai Zhiqiang replied, "Reporting to the boss, no strange things are occurring around Young Master so far."
"Good. The storm still had yet to pass, so I would rely on your strength to keep my grandson safe all the time, except for your school time."
"Understood."
"Do you feel wronged? By spending time to protect my family, you will have less and less time to spend with your family and your friends."
Dai Zhiqiang chose his words carefully before saying firmly. "Boss, I believe we have an agreement which is important as a foundation of our relationship. As much as you have helped my family in the past, I will also exert my utmost effort in helping your family as well. I didn't feel wronged at all."
"Really? But wouldn't your girlfriend be upset if you neglect her too much?" Ye Huizhong smirked playfully, but there was a glint of judgment in his sharp eyes.
His bear-like figure exuded a powerful force that could easily make a weak-hearted person cower in fear. The burn mark on his face made his expression darker and scarier.
Dai Zhiqiang could sense the pressure in the air, but he had no intention of backing down. "I believe that is my private business and has nothing to do with our agreement, Boss."
"Cheeky brat. I have received reports that you seem to be enjoying your youth recently." Ye Huizhong tapped his pipe to an ashtray, and a rumble of low laughter could be heard from his throat. Anyone would feel intimidated by how scary his menacing grin right now, but Dai Zhiqiang was already accustomed to it.
"No need to worry. I will keep my promise and will not fail in my mission."
"Is your girlfriend pretty? I only heard the story from Lin, but apparently, you couldn't take your eyes off her once you two met." Ye Huizhong snickered darkly. "What a joke. I'm curious to know what kind of girl has terrible luck, fancied by a boring man like you."
"Boss Ye…"
"Are you embarrassed? Or do you think this old man is not worthy for you to share your romance story with?"
Dai Zhiqiang sighed inwardly. He really didn't want to answer this question, but it didn't seem like his boss would release him anytime soon if this went on.
"She is a kind and gentle girl." He replied shortly, which made the smirk on Ye Huizhong's smirk deepen.
"Oho? Kind and gentle, huh? So you like the demure and feminine type of girl. Who knows your taste will be so traditional? I thought you would like a bold woman for sure. I assume she is beautiful enough to mesmerize you?"
Dai Zhiqiang: "..."
"Come on. You can brag about your girlfriend a little. It's not like this old man will fight against you over her. Hahaha!"
The shrill laughter of Ye Huizhong sounded thunderous, almost deafening Dai Zhiqiang's ears. Faced with his boss' troublesome act, Dai Zhiqiang couldn't tell if he was testing him or simply being nosy.
"She is beautiful. But I don't like her just because of that." Dai Zhiqiang replied reluctantly in the end. He felt embarrassed saying this out loud. But as annoyed as he was, there was a sense of pride in his heart as he talked about it.
Now, he could confidently say that Li Caiyi was his.
"That girl helped me before and saved my little brother. She is a warm-hearted person who is diligent and hardworking. Even when the odds were stacked against her, she would find her own way to overcome her problem. She also has a wide heart and very understanding."
Ye Huizhong stared with disdain as the young man in front of him suddenly became talkative with only a little push. He initially only wanted to tease and ridicule Dai Zhiqiang for a bit, but he didn't expect the young man to answer so honestly. With a look of joy on his face, no less.
How many years since Ye Huizhong was born? What kind of youth romance he had yet to witness? He was only interested in making Dai Zhiqiang flustered, not him bragging about his puppy love. Seeing Dai Zhiqiang's bright face put him in a foul mood.
"Forget that useless talk. Make sure there isn't any inconvenience to my grandson. Remember, he shouldn't be disturbed with any bad news. Protect him silently."
Dai Zhiqiang's face quickly reverted to its previous calmness. "Yes, Boss."
"You may leave."
Dai Zhiqiang bowed to Ye Huizhong before turning away.
"Wait a minute!"
"Yes, is there anything else, Boss?" Dai Zhiqiang shifted his body, so he faced his boss once again, with both of his hands on his back.
"Those people had recognized your face. You should be careful with whom you interact. Don't let them know your weakness or who knows what will happen to them. I suggest you stay at Ye Wang for the time being. At least until the danger has completely settled down."
"Boss, but I can't leave my little brother in the house alone."
"The more you stick with him, the more danger will follow him. Don't worry because I will assign some men to keep guard on your family. Come to think of it, it would probably be best if you prepare another name for yourself."
Dai Zhiqiang's brows raised as the matter escalated. "Boss, I have no intention of staying here forever. I have to go back once I have paid all my debt to you."
"As long as you keep my grandson safe, I will also keep your family safe. You should know how dangerous this line of work is before you decide to agree, right?"
"Yes, I do."
"Then I don't want to hear any complaints. Although you haven't officially joined our group yet, you have long since become a part of us, and the threat that may come to you is no less dangerous than the rest. Better be careful than feeling sorry later."
"Will using a second name will trick them, though?"
Ye Huizhong laughed boisterously. "Damn brat, it seems you have underestimated how our group works. Information selling is our expertise. Manipulating the information itself is as easy as breathing for us.
