"Take me back? You're Sisi's bodyguard, not mine, so you don't need to worry about taking me back. You've had a long day too."

Feng Feifei smiled and declined Xiaofan's offer.

Speaking of Feng Feifei's allure as a woman, that mature demeanor is something Li Sisi can't quite grasp,

From a biological standpoint, the twenty-year-old Li Sisi is like a freshly matured apple, picked at just the right time. She's soft, tender, and full of youthful energy. Meanwhile, the thirty-year-old Feng Feifei is like an apple that has ripened fully, sweet to the core. Her charm is at its most abundant.

"Wow, it seems you've got an eye for things, trying to court our Sister Fei with your approach. Well, I'll allow you to take her home." Li Sisi agreed when she saw Xiaofan volunteer to escort Feng Feifei, though her agreement was mixed with some inexplicable elements.

"You girl, why are you always so out of tune? Mr. Shen, you really don't have to trouble yourself." Feng Feifei continued.

"It's dark, and nighttime can be dangerous. Besides, back-to-back incidents have been occurring, so it's better to be cautious," Xiaofan insisted.

"True that, Sister Fei, it's so scary out there. Just let him take you, and if there's any danger, he's got thick skin anyway." Li Sisi added.

"Alright, then I'm sorry to trouble you."

"No problem."

To be honest, no matter how mature a woman is, a woman is still a woman and fears are inevitable. But she only feels afraid if the incident isn't just targeting Li Sisi.

"Mr. Shen, do you have something you want to ask me?"

In the car, Feng Feifei took the initiative to ask Xiaofan.

Talking to intelligent people is much easier; this point is well exemplified by these two women.

"Um."

"We're about ten minutes from my place; I don't plan on letting a stranger into my home. So, please ask whatever you have soon."

"Actually, I wonder why a woman like Sister Fei would choose to live alone?"

"That's your question?" Feng Feifei said with slight disappointment.

"Just one of them. It's something any ordinary man would be curious about, of course."

"Haha, you're quite straightforward. What about the other questions?" Feng Feifei chuckled.

"The other questions—like, what exactly has that idiot gotten involved with? When the police came today, you didn't talk for very long, clearly indicating that this case has already been filed by them. Yet, you haven't informed the media in time, obviously wanting to keep it under wraps. But as those responsible for protecting Li Sisi, we indeed have the right to know the truth." Xiaofan continued.

"Such a talented person, it's a shame you're a bodyguard. Turn left ahead, there's a quiet bar there. Seems like we won't be able to finish talking before reaching home."

The cause of the matter wasn't clearly defined by Li Sisi or Feng Feifei. One day, they suddenly received a threatening letter asking Li Sisi to leave the entertainment industry and not meddle in things. From that point, dangerous events started unfolding.

When the threatening letter was received, Li Sisi didn't think much of it. However, her car mysteriously had a flat tire, and the next morning she found several dead pigeons thrown outside her door. When warnings proved ineffective, escalations ensued with incidents like wires snapping and acid being sent by courier.

"Do you have any idea what's going on behind the scenes?" Xiaofan continued asking.

"I've no mind to think about such things. Sisi has entrusted the whole matter to the police, and her day-to-day safety is entirely reliant on your protection."

The bar was indeed very quiet; the music wasn't loud, and there weren't any rowdy gang members. The patrons were mostly elegant white-collar workers and company executives. It truly is a great place for relaxation after work.

"Look at that... those legs are amazing..." Xiaofan exclaimed upon seeing a long-legged beauty.

"Mr. Shen, I must criticize you on this: when you have a lady next to you, please refrain from admiring other ladies. Even if that woman has no ties to you."

"Huh? Sister Fei, your legs are long too."

"Pfft..."

Xiaofan's comment made Feng Feifei laugh softly. This guy has such a way of making people feel at ease.

"So, if you have any issues with compensation, feel free to discuss them with me privately. You can lay out your terms as far as possible; just ensure to make every effort to keep Sisi safe." Feng Feifei continued.

"I'm afraid it's no longer just about that idiot's safety, is it?" Xiaofan furrowed his brows, gesturing to the waiter: "Another whiskey, and some juice for the ladies."

"No, I'd like a whiskey too," Feng Feifei softly said.

"Please hold on," said the waiter politely.

"Sister Fei, you shouldn't drink more; you've already had two glasses, and your face is quite red." Xiaofan advised.

"Just because someone turns red when drinking doesn't mean they can't drink. It's fine; I come here often, and it's rare to find someone to chat with. A couple more glasses won't hurt."

Feng Feifei's attitude is truly admirable; such a woman must know how to live well.

"Oh, right—you mentioned earlier, why's it not just about Sisi's safety? Are you scared too?" Feng Feifei asked.

"If my guess is correct, it's not just Li Sisi, even you're caught up in this. Even Li Sisi's previous assistant quitting suddenly is related to this. The opposing party has decided to push Li Sisi to compromise. So, the people around her must also be targeted. Besides her assistant, the employees at her studio—these days you've been busy, haven't even slept well on set, because many employees quit, and you're swamped with work waiting for you to handle."

Feng Feifei looked at Xiaofan, surprised that he had accurately guessed everything.

"You sure are too good to be just a bodyguard."

"Additionally..." Xiaofan hadn't finished: "You've been warned too, haven't you? Perhaps someone has started harassing you, and since your residence is very close to your workplace, you don't want to stay with Li Sisi. Being this diligent and devoted for her, it's rare to find such a manager."

"Oh dear. Mr. Shen, oh no, Little Brother Shen, since you call me Sister Fei, I'll call you brother—hope that's alright."

"Certainly..."

"Well, Little Brother Shen, I've suddenly realized I might be quite fond of you—you are so clever, it's just, clever enough to surprise me." Feng Feifei said coquettishly, leaning slightly towards the table, her eyes dreamily gazing at Xiaofan.
