After come back to her sense for a moment, Lin Xilan awkwardly twisted her body, and quickly lowered her head and avoided his gaze.No matter what she is still A Lin Xilan, the CEO of Yelin and Axl senior brother's mother. Their status was not incomparable, so it's imposible for her to take an initiative to ask him, much more to explained to him."Ehem" She cleard her throat and showed her normal icy look.In order not to show her timidity, Lin Xilan pretended to composed herself and look at Awl coldy like yesterday. But after the next 5 seconds, her eyes come back to erratic and no matter what she lack confidence facing Axl.Looking at her gestures and body language, Axl of course found it a little bit strange, but since she didn't explain it, he also tacitly didn't ask her. He also didn't think much about it, he thought it was because Lin Xilan's ankle had not fully healed yesterday, and she was feeling a little uncomfortable but too embarrassed to say so in front of him. After all,
Axl noticed that Lin Xilan remained silent, so he continued, "He also mentioned that Wen Yuci was really pretty. They kept in touch frequently despite living on the mountain at the time, if I remember correctly."As Axl tried to recall more information, he remembered something else from the original body's memories. "Senior brother also said that Wen Yuci is really talented. She became a managing director at Biotech Corps in her twenties, which shows how skilled she is."Axl praised Wen Yuci, thinking that it might create a positive impression on Lin Xilan. However, he noticed that Lin Xilan didn't respond to his comments about Wen Yuci, and her expression soured instead. He realized that he had made a misstep by praising another woman's accomplishments in front of his boss, who had built Yeline Care from the ground up.Quickly trying to recover from his mistake, Axl said, "Of course, no one can compare to your leadership, boss. You have created a highly successful company from scratc
After Axl left, he found a stool and sat by the front door. As Lin Xilan's bodyguard, he knew that the situation in the capital was not very stable at the moment.From what he could remember, the Ye family was going through a period of instability. Following the disappearance of Ye Feng's father, the elite elders within the family were vying for the position of family head. However, due to Ye Feng's existence as the son of the previous head, they could only hope for his demise.Ye Feng was the legal successor of the Ye family on paper, but the opposition within the family towards his father's marriage to Lin Xilan had been used as a reason to obstruct his path to becoming the next family head. As to why their marriage had been rejected, it was all due to Lin Xilan.Lin Xilan was a woman of great strength and character. When she had married into the Ye Feng father in the past, she had struggled to accept the traditional expectations of the Ye family. As was customary in many ancient an
Seeing Wen Yuci question himself with an arrogant tone, Axl couldn't help but look back at her. He was still wondering why Lin Xilan had an opinion on Ye Feng and Wen Yuci's relationship. Wasn't Wen Yuci the perfect daughter-in-law? Beautiful, rich, with a good background? But now it seemed that his question had already been answered.Axl said flatly, "Miss, are you the managing director of Biotech, Ms. Wen Yuci? Are you here to meet Ms. Lin?"Wen Yuci frowned and asked, "Answer me first, what are you doing here?""I am Ms. Lin's bodyguard," Axl answered flatly.Wen Yuci was stunned by his answer, and she couldn't help but squint her eyes. "It's impossible; Aunt Lin would never hire a bodyguard, especially a man."Axl became irritated by her and said, "Miss, if you don't have any business here, then please leave. Only those with a valid reason are allowed to enter."Hearing his answer made Wen Yuci angry. No one had ever dared to treat her like this before. "You--"Before she could sa
Hearing Lin Xilan say this, Wen Yuci was surprised. This is not Lin Xilan that she knows. She knew Ye Feng went to the mountain to learn martial arts from a master from what she heard, and how long was it? 7 years, probably? and it was basically that amount of time that Lin Xilan needed to maintain her reputation as an ice queen that was unapproachable.How could this be?Moreover, they will basically talk business here, and sometimes even her secretary is prohibited from joining the conversation. Now she basically says he can stay here?How much trust did she place in this man? Is it because he is her son's Junior brother? no, impossible. If she can remember, Ye Feng only came from the mountain last month, and he is also alone based on what he said. Last week she met with Ye Feng also, and he didn't mention anything to her. That's mean, he just recently came from the mountain if he is really Ye Feng junior brother.This analysis stupefied Wen Yuci.Lin Xilan didn't notice Wen Yuci pr
Wen Yuci walked out of the company with a cold expression on her face. She frowned, contemplating the recent events."Who is this bodyguard named Axl, and why does Lin Xilan show such tolerance towards him? Is he truly just a mere bodyguard? No, it's impossible. Their behavior suggests otherwise. But why would a bodyguard be like that?" Wen Yuci pondered deeply, unable to comprehend the situation. She thought of the many wealthier and more powerful men she knew.*TRIING*At that moment, the phone rang, interrupting her thoughts. Wen Yuci retrieved her phone, glanced at the notification, and couldn't help but furrow her brow. It was a call from someone she despised. She wanted to reject it, but suddenly she paused. After a brief moment of consideration, she answered the phone with a cold expression and asked in a chilly tone, "What do you want?""Yuci, how are you? I miss you so much," a man's voice on the other end said impolitely, causing her frown to deepen.This time, she was truly
Two more days had passed, and Axl found himself in a comfortable state. He couldn't quite understand why, but Lin Xilan had been unusually friendly towards him lately. She had become increasingly warm and friendly towards him, a stark contrast to their initial cold encounters. Although he was puzzled by this sudden change, he chose not to dwell on it too much. As long as he had her support, she could do as she pleased. After all, it made his position more comfortable, didn't it?After having breakfast, Axl drove Lin Xilan to the company as he always did. Once they arrived, he got out of the car and opened the back door, allowing Lin Xilan to exit."Mother! Junior brother!"Before they could make their way to the office, Ye Feng's voice rang out and he appeared, walking towards them with a broad smile. He greeted Axl, his junior brother, and lightly embraced Lin Xilan, his mother.Observing the scene, Axl realized that his senior brother had successf
Inside the office, an atmosphere of silence enveloped the surroundings as Lin Xilan diligently immersed herself in the company documents. Meanwhile, Axl stood by the window, his gaze fixed on the bustling parking lot below. Deep down, he knew that if his intuition was correct, today would mark the incident that would lead to Lin Xilan's untimely demise, plunging the capital city into chaos.'No matter what, I must prevent her death,' Axl thought resolutely, his mind consumed by the task that lay ahead, his eyes never leaving the window. Suddenly, the stillness was shattered by the sound of Lin Xilan's voice, snapping Axl back to reality."What's wrong with you? What are you up to now?" she inquired, her tone cold with a tinge of annoyance.Axl noticed the peculiar expression on Lin Xilan's face as she scrutinized him.Something clicked in his mind as he was aware immediately that his behavior had been unusual throughout the day. Normally, upon their arriv
