Ling Xiaoxiao's expression froze; she obviously didn't expect Chen Xuan to reply like that.

"Mr. Chen, you're truly humorous. Since you're a personal bodyguard, you're naturally by my side at all times."

Ling Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly, without deliberately flirting, her smile was sincere.

Watching Ling Xiaoxiao up close, Chen Xuan couldn't deny she was indeed a stunning beauty.

Compared to Lin Wanxi and the enchantress Ye Qingxian, she did not fall short in the least.

Moreover, her smile was sweet, and her voice was very melodious.

No wonder she has the reputation of being the Sweet Song Queen!

Chen Xuan chuckled as he said, "Miss Ling, your words have a flaw; you can't have me guard you while you're bathing or sleeping, can you?"

Uh...

Ling Xiaoxiao's face instantly turned red with embarrassment, but she was not angry, "Mr. Chen, you do love to joke."

"I'm sincerely asking you to be my bodyguard, without any other intentions."

Chen Xuan nodded, through their conversation, he had already roughly understood Ling Xiaoxiao's character.

Being in the entertainment industry's complex environment yet maintaining her integrity was very commendable.

Chen Xuan restrained his playful thoughts and softly said, "Sorry, Miss Ling, I cannot accept your request."

Ling Xiaoxiao was taken aback instantly, she didn't expect Chen Xuan to actually refuse.

From his previous words and actions, he was clearly attracted by her beauty, even with a hint of taking advantage.

This sudden stepping on the brakes startled her a bit.

"Mr. Chen, won't you reconsider? I will give you a generous reward," Ling Xiaoxiao asked tentatively.

Chen Xuan waved his hand with a smile, "Miss Ling, whether you believe it or not, money doesn't hold much appeal for me."

"What about beauty? Aren't you also tempted?" Ling Xiaoxiao suddenly threw out this line, continuing to test Chen Xuan's reaction.

Hehe...

Chen Xuan laughed aloud, "I'm interested in beautiful women, but that doesn't mean I will definitely be tempted."

Ling Xiaoxiao's expression froze slightly, then she laughed and said, "I was abrupt; Mr. Chen, please don't mind."

"You are a true gentleman, and I admire you."

"No, that's where you're wrong."

Chen Xuan waved his hand, smiling, "I don't see myself as a gentleman, nor do I think I'm a naive good person."

"Saving you last night was merely coincidental; if I hadn't happened to meet you, your life or death wouldn't concern me at all."

Ling Xiaoxiao's face changed slightly, then she smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your honesty. I've further confirmed my inner judgment that you are a real man, not indulged in hypocrisy."

"Just for that, it's worth my admiration! Mr. Chen, let me toast you again."

Chen Xuan drank another cup with her, then said, "Didn't you say you invited me over because it was related to last night's matter?"

"Now tell me, how did you handle it last night?"

"Hmm." Ling Xiaoxiao nodded, "Last night, after you left, I called the police."

"I only said that when I entered the private room, I saw the two of them lying on the ground, unaware of who had killed them."

Chen Xuan chuckled, "Your statement does have a slight flaw."

"There are surveillance cameras in the hotel hallway above; you entered the private room first, and I later arrived and destroyed the surveillance camera."

"How do you explain that?"

Ling Xiaoxiao replied, "I only said I didn't know anything; anyway, as soon as I entered the private room, that was how it was."

"I was very panicked at the time, fell to the ground, and even hurt my knee, unable to stand from the pain."

"Once I got myself together, I decided to call for help loudly. In any case, the death of those two bastards has nothing to do with me, so I'm not afraid of an investigation."

Chen Xuan smiled, "You are indeed very clever; just saying 'I don't know' can stand up to a thousand words, and no one can touch you."

"However, last night the Li Family's housekeeper went over, and they are thoroughly investigating this matter."

Ling Xiaoxiao's expression became stern, "It's very likely they will suspect you, so you must be mentally prepared."

Chen Xuan chuckled, "Thanks for the information; this matter is no longer related to you, I will handle it."

Ling Xiaoxiao said no more and then changed the subject, smiling as she said, "In ten days, I'm holding a concert in Zhonghai City; I hope you can attend it."

"I'll see what the situation is then; if I have time, I'll definitely be there." Chen Xuan gave a non-committal response.

...

At the same time, Li Family Mansion.

The old man Li Yuanshou had a gloomy expression, "Housekeeper, haven't you found out who killed my grandson and grandchild yet?"

Housekeeper Li looked helpless, "No evidence was left at the scene; it's impossible to determine who the killer is."

"But according to Sun Yongkang's loyal subordinate, Yongkang had a personal vendetta with Chen Xuan and had once asked grandson Zi Jiang to help get rid of Chen Xuan."

"Perhaps their deaths are linked to Chen Xuan!"

Li Yuanshou's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a fierce coldness, "Immediately investigate Chen Xuan secretly; if it's confirmed to be related to him, bring him back for execution!"
