Can’t Leave My Sight

Mo Nianchen walked out of the bathroom. He intended to order his men to bring over some ointment but suddenly saw something glistening on the ground out of the corner of his eyes.

It was only until then that he found out the numerous shattered glass pieces underneath the coffee table.

Did this happen when he was drunk last night?

His eyes narrowed immediately. His finger tapped three times on the watch he normally wore lightly and three men appeared by the door almost immediately, waiting for his instruction.

“01, get the infection ointment. 05, clean up the room immediately. You’ll be held responsible if I see another piece of glass!”

“07, replace the carpet of the entire room!”

“Get this done in three minutes or you’re all fired!”

“Yes, sir!”

“Yes, sir!”

“Yes, sir!”

The three men replied simultaneously and began carrying out the orders at lightspeed.

They completed all the tasks within matters of minutes. The one that went out to get the ointment also returned.

“Crown Prince, here it is. Should I apply it for you?”

“Get out of the room right now. Do not enter without my orders.”

“Yes!” Three similar replies filled the room before the men dismissed themselves respectfully. They were Mo Nianchen’s first grade bodyguards – Thunder, Sirius, and Sun, whose codenames were 01, 05, and 07 respectively. Thunder was the leader among the three.

These men made themselves invisible around him and never once stepped the line to disturb him. However, they would be the first ones to show up at urgent times when the specific alert was activated.

The number of times they had been called upon in the past five years could be counted on the fingers of one hand. Each time it happened they were called to take care of earth-shattering incidents. But today… Just for these trivial tasks?

The men were confused. The crown prince had activated the first level alert to call upon them just for these minor problems? That was certainly baffling!

Mo Nianchen returned to the bathroom with the ointment.

Li Shengxia tensed up upon seeing his return.

He grabbed her arm right away to apply the ointment with extra caution.

She looked at the man in disbelief.

Right this instant, water was still dripping from the end of his hair, making his delicate facial features even more attractive.

‘No, this isn’t real,’ she reminded herself. ‘He’s not being nice to you. He’s only making sure his toy isn’t damaged by other people.’ The man was stubborn about being the sole person that took care after his possession. He was not going to benefit other people even if he had a change of heart.

It was this hot and cold treatment from him in the past that made her believe there was something special between them both. This was exactly how she ended up in misery.

He carried her out of the bathroom.

“You can’t do anything before the wound heals. You can’t leave my sight either!”

The woman protested right away. “But it’s only a minor injury. There’s no need to make a big deal out of it.”

“Wow, I didn’t even punish you for damaging my possessions you know,” he replied indifferently.

“…”

She could not even take control of her own body now?

He retrieved his phone to make a call. “Deliver all the documents today to the royal suite of Inheritance Hotel!”

The man hung up the call abruptly after that.

She looked at the man strangely for a long time before gathering her thoughts to form a complete sentence. “You… You’re staying here?”

“What’s the matter? You have a problem with that?” he said in a deep voice.

“No…”

‘I dare not!’ she thought to herself.

Several moments later, his employees appeared with a huge stash of documents. Even the office desk he normally used was brought over to the hotel.

The woman blurted at the sight of this, “This… This is too much. There’s a desk here too.”

Thunder immediately replied in a serious manne tone, “The crown prince only ever uses this particular desk.”

“…”

She was at a loss for words.

Mo Nianchen was engrossed in his work right now. He read documents, edited and made comments on the papers, and sometimes tapped away furiously on the keyboard.

Li Shengxia was bored stiff thus she decided to go on her phone.

However, Thunder walked over the second she picked up her phone.

“Crown Princess, the crown prince mentioned you can’t go on the phone with your bandage or the wound would not heal well.”

“…” She was utterly speechless. “It’s nothing really, just a small cut from a piece of glass. The thick bandage makes it look worse than it actually is.” She stopped speaking suddenly. “How do you know who I am? I…”

She could not call herself the crown princess even if she tried. It felt weird to have those words rolling off her tongue…

Could it be Mo Nianchen who told this man?

Thunder replied with a short comment that spoke to the point, “I’ve been protecting Crown Prince and Crown Princess’ safety.”

“…” The woman was once again shocked into silence. She could not shake the feeling that her life had been kept under observation all this while. How did she not realize that sooner?

“Crown Princess, please hand over your phone. I’ll return it to you once the crown prince completes his work.”

Although Thunder had been addressing her with the respectful title, she failed to pick up the genuineness in his voice and thought he sounded naturally oppressive instead.

She threw several glances at Mo Nianchen but the latter still did not take notice of her. She had no alternative but to hand over her cell phone.

Seconds felt like hours in this environment without her cell phone. She was certain she was going to lose her mind.

Soon, Thunder came over with a laptop. “Crown Princess, you can watch a film in the meantime.”

It was better than nothing thus she accepted the offer.

Thunder tuned in to the right channel.

The woman chose a hilarious comedy. Thunder approached her again just after the introduction finished playing.

“Crown Princess, please lower the volume. You’re distracting the crown prince from his work.

“…” Speechless, she did as she was told.

This “bodyguard” was really devoted to his career. She had never come across such an annoying man, not to mention that he always looked glum. It was as if speaking slightly louder to him would result in being crushed into powder…

Thunder was still dissatisfied with her even though she had always been obedient…

“Crown Princess, that’s still too loud! The crown prince should not be disturbed by even the slightest bit of noise. Please cooperate!”

The woman had enough of being told what to do. She put on her earphones and returned to enjoy the show.

The hilarious content in the video lightened up her mood.

“Haha, hahaha… That’s so funny…” She laughed aloud at the screen.

Within seconds, Thunder reappeared again with another warning, “Crown Princess, please watch something less loud. You’re making it difficult for the crown prince to focus on his work.”

Irritated, she removed her earphones as she was not in the mood for watching the show anymore. “Bang.” The laptop was slammed shut. Trying hard to suppress her anger, she rose to her feet and said in a calm and controlled voice, “Well, can I go out for a walk then?”

“I’m sorry, Crown Princess, you can’t leave this room without the crown prince’s order.”

“… What do you want me to do then?!” She finally exploded with rage.
