Little Bodyguard(GL) 1

Chapter 1

Li Qinyue had just gotten off the plane when her phone started buzzing incessantly.

It wasn’t just one call; as soon as she hung up, another one would come in. These kids were really free, weren’t they, constantly monitoring her flight.

Knowing that she wouldn’t be able to leave the airport lobby without being surrounded, Li Qinyue casually answered one of the calls. Without any pleasantries, she asked directly, “What have you arranged?”

The other side gasped, as if they had won the lottery, “Sister Yue! The cars are all lined up outside. You can take whichever one you like. Your luggage…”

“Don’t worry about it, I’ll get it myself,” Li Qinyue interrupted, frowning. “Stay away from me.”

“We’re already far away. Brother Ling knows you like to keep a low profile and don’t like a big scene.”

“Okay, see you later.” Li Qinyue hung up.

It was only a few minutes of peace and quiet. When Li Qinyue dragged her suitcase to the parking lot entrance, a group of men and women rushed towards her like robbers, snatching the things from her hands.

“President Li!”

“Sister Yue!”

“Long time no see!”

“Your skin tone is…getting more and more beautiful!”

They chirped like sparrows, familiar and unfamiliar faces, dazzling and attracting the attention of many around.

Ling Xi squeezed beside her and slapped her on the shoulder, “Everything’s arranged, let’s head over directly.”

No wonder they called her “Brother”. Ling Xi’s hair was even shorter now, almost a buzz cut in the middle of winter. Wasn’t she cold?

The crowd finally made way for Li Qinyue. Looking at the row of equally dazzling cars, Li Qinyue twitched the corner of her mouth and said to Ling Xi, “This is what you call low profile?”

“Low-key luxury, it matches your status,” Ling Xi lowered her voice. “The pink Maserati on the left, I just got it repainted, give me some face.”

Li Qinyue didn’t respond, walking straight to the nearest black Mercedes-Benz, opened the door, and got in.

“Hey,” Ling Xi was quite unhappy.

Li Qinyue slammed the car door in her face and said to the driver, “Let’s go.”

Not sharing the ride with anyone, the journey was quiet. The car drove into a familiar villa complex where Ling Xi often held parties. In the quietest corner, Li Qinyue had a private villa.

It got dark quickly in winter. At this time, dusk was just beginning, and one could see a brightly lit place from afar, which must be the “surprise” Ling Xi had prepared for her.

Li Qinyue looked down at her hiking boots and said, “Stop here.”

The driver didn’t say anything. Li Qinyue got out of the car directly, “You drive over.”

The car headed towards the brightly lit place. Li Qinyue took out a cigarette from her pocket, lit it, and held it in her mouth, slowly walking towards her villa.

Ling Xi called her midway, but she hung up. When the phone rang again, Li Qinyue replied with a message: I’ll be there later.

When everyone saw Li Qinyue again, it was an hour after the party had officially started.

She had changed out of her previously tightly wrapped clothes into a burgundy long dress, revealing her back, shoulders, and sleek, beautiful legs as she walked.

Her makeup was casual yet sophisticated, her hair exuding a captivating charm.

Paired with her tanned skin, she no longer looked like an empty, rich second generation who was bored enough to go exploring in the mountains.

High-class, Li Qinyue could always effortlessly carry herself with elegance.

Ling Xi greeted her, teasing with a smile, “Beautiful lady, dressed like this, how can those kids compete?”

Li Qinyue glanced at her and chose a spot overlooking the hall to sit down, “Am I here to watch them compete?”

“Isn’t this a welcome back party to entertain you?” Ling Xi sat down beside her. “I know you weren’t having fun this time and came back half a month early. What happened?”

Li Qinyue played with the glass in her hand, “Someone told my dad where I went and what I was doing.”

“Who!” Ling Xi immediately shouted, “Who the hell is so disloyal! A villain! Don’t let me find out, otherwise I’ll…”

“What will you do?” Li Qinyue looked at her.

Ling Xi stumbled over her words, “Peel, peel their skin.”

“Too uncreative.” Li Qinyue waved her hand.

“There’s something fun today,” Ling Xi changed the subject. “I definitely won’t let you be bored.”

The show must have been prepared for a long time, and now it was finally time to perform.

Li Qinyue looked over. A microphone stand was set up on the central stage. A young boy in tight leather pants walked onto the stage. When he looked up and smiled at Li Qinyue, she got goosebumps.

Damn, she cursed silently in her heart, his face is even smaller than mine.

The boy started to sing. Ling Xi looked proud, “Believe it or not, in two months, this kid will be a huge hit.”

“I don’t believe it.” Li Qinyue looked at the boy who was already getting hyped up before the song even reached its climax and cursed out loud, “Is he fucking high?”

Ling Xi didn’t say anything. The glass in Li Qinyue’s hand suddenly hit the table, “How many times have I said it, no matter what the messed up trends are in your circles, there can’t be any in my company…”

Before she could finish, several people in SWAT uniforms suddenly entered through the doors around them. They were burly and fully equipped.

Li Qinyue stood up. The SWAT team quickly entered and walked towards the stage. The people jumping around quieted down, and when the SWAT team grabbed the boy’s hand on stage, the music stopped abruptly.

Li Qinyue looked at Ling Xi, who seemed to be glued to her seat.

The SWAT team began to question the boy. Li Qinyue suddenly sat down again, crossed her arms, and started to sneer.

The tense atmosphere didn’t reach the hall. After half a minute, the music suddenly resumed. The SWAT team members threw off their jackets, revealing their muscular bodies, and started dancing with the boy.

The sudden surprise elicited screams from the hall. The muscular SWAT men on stage sandwiched the leather-clad boy, their clothes gradually coming off.

It should have been a scene that stimulated adrenaline, but Li Qinyue concluded, “Boring.”

Ling Xi’s carefully planned entertainment didn’t achieve its desired effect, and she was not happy, “Even I, a hardcore lesbian, found it fun. Don’t you, a straight woman, have a little bit of a heart-racing moment?”

“Too boring,” Li Qinyue repeated, her phone on the table started vibrating.

She picked up the phone and left the chaotic hall, “I’ll take a call.”

The balcony was half warm and half cold. Li Qinyue was cold-resistant and didn’t bother to change places.

It was her father calling. Apart from the initial “Where are you?”, which was relatively normal, everything else was filled with irritable scolding.

Li Qinyue had always been puzzled by this. Her father, after all, was a well-known entrepreneur who had experienced the ups and downs of the business world. Yet, when facing her, he acted like a menopausal woman.

Guessing that the striptease in the hall was about to end, Li Qinyue interrupted her father’s nagging and wanted to end the call.

Her father roared, “You can’t go on like this!” then handed the phone to her grandfather.

Li Qinyue sighed, changed her tone to be more affectionate, “Old man~”

“My good girl,” Grandfather suddenly said, “Happy birthday.”

Li Qinyue’s expression froze for a moment, but quickly, her lips curled into a smile, perhaps the first genuine smile of the evening.

“Thank you,” she said, “I’ll visit you tomorrow. I dug up a wild ginseng root. I’ll soak it in alcohol for you.”

“Okay,” Grandfather’s mind was obviously not on the hand-dug ginseng. He quickly got to the point, “Your father and I have prepared a birthday gift for you.”

Li Qinyue felt a sense of alarm. A gift with her father involved, it couldn’t be good.

“The gift is on its way,” Grandfather tilted his head and asked, “Where did you go?”

“*It’s* almost there…” her father’s faint voice.

“I’ll be done soon,” Li Qinyue quickly said, “Don’t send it, I’ll pick it up when I go home.”

“*It’s* arrived…” her father’s clear voice.

At the same time, Ling Xi’s voice echoed across the room, “Holy crap, Li Qinyue, where did you summon this god from?!”

“What?” Li Qinyue frowned. Her father hung up the phone.

“Damn, damn, damn, I spent a fortune on these strippers, if you didn’t like it, just say it!” Ling Xi shouted as she reached her, grabbed her arm, and pulled her back into the hall, “Was there a need to beat someone up?!”

“Who the hell beat someone up!” Li Qinyue, brimming with anger, yelled back.

“Your people!” After a few steps, Ling Xi pulled her back to the best vantage point overlooking the entire hall and pointed, “They barged in and claimed to be your people, I didn’t even dare to call the security!”

Li Qinyue looked over and saw that there was indeed a fight going on. A figure was darting through a group of men stripped down to their underwear. One punch here, a kick there. One muscular man staggered back and fell, another fell to his knees in pain. The scene was thrilling and vivid, like a movie scene.

After the previous fake SWAT team show, the audience was not nervous at all, they all considered it another performance, cheering and enjoying themselves.

Ling Xi was so anxious that she almost wanted to join in, “Li Qinyue, you’re a ruthless counter-attack, damn!”

“Damn…” Li Qinyue muttered, her eyes fixed on the figure, “That person’s martial arts are good.”

“You’re still pretending! Is it your person or not? If not…”

“If they win, they’re my person.” Li Qinyue raised her voice, a little excited.

This villa complex wasn’t somewhere anyone could enter, and this party wasn’t for everyone to crash.

This was the first person who knew her, Li Qinyue, and dared to claim to be her person. The timing couldn’t be more coincidental. This was indeed something her father could do.

Send someone to follow her, monitor her, control her. He thought this way he could control her.

Think again. Li Qinyue licked her lips, feeling that this was the most interesting part of the night.

True to expectations, the figure won a landslide victory. The naked men fell to the ground, groaning in pain, and the figure finally stopped.

Under the chaotic, colorful lights of the hall and the rhythm of the intense music, Li Qinyue saw that it was a young, delicate girl.

She was wearing a rustic tracksuit and had a high ponytail that suited her well, looking out of place in this environment like a white flower that had fallen into the mud.

The white flower turned around and looked up, meeting Li Qinyue’s gaze precisely. Her delicate features, illuminated by the lights, flashed with the brilliance of stars in her eyes.

Everyone was waiting. Li Qinyue straightened up, wanting to give the white flower a regal, cold and arrogant warning.

But before she could speak, the white flower beat her to it, “Are you Li Qinyue?”

Her voice was as young as her face, and she addressed her by full name, sounding both ordinary and like a challenge.

Li Qinyue narrowed her eyes and replied, “Yes.”

The white flower suddenly smiled, as bright as the rising sun, completely different from the ruthless look she had when fighting multiple people.

Then, she said something no one expected, “You are very beautiful.”
