Beauty and the Bodyguard Chapter 1697

Chapter 1697: Pretend again

“I … I’ll try then …” Jingyi said helplessly. “I’ll ask him first …”

“Alright, I’ll wait for your news! But if he doesn’t agree, or if he’s not a Mystic, then we’ll just let it go!” “Jingyi, you should know that house sun won’t have a good time if I leave …” Old man sun said.

“I … I know …” Jingyi sighed.

“I’ll be waiting for your news. ” Said old man sun.

“Then … Grandpa, please take care of your health!” Jingyi suddenly remembered some of her childhood memories … Her grandfather was a strict and overbearing man, a bit of a male chauvinist, but he was really good to her!

“Don’t worry, although my body is not in good condition, I can still hold on for one or two years and watch you guys get married and start your own careers!” Said old man sun.

Although it seemed unreasonable for her grandfather to ask her to marry into another family, he gave her a choice. It was much better than those parents who directly decided the marriage of their children …

But, how was she supposed to tell Lin Yi? Pretending to be her boyfriend to trick Chentian was fine, but to trick her Grandpa … Would her Grandpa be able to see through her?

Jingyi was at a loss-she had no choice but to dial Lin Yi’s number.

“h.e.l.lo?” Lin Yi had just finished helping Chentian level up when Jingyi’s call came in. Lin Yi smiled and picked it up,”Looking for the great thief?”

…

“Lin Yi … I have something urgent to talk to you about, can you come over?” Jingyi smiled bitterly-she wasn’t in the mood to joke around with Lin Yi. It was too sudden, and what was she supposed to do if Lin Yi didn’t agree to go back with her?

“Now?” Lin Yi didn’t know why Jingyi was looking for him so urgently, but he’d been thinking of calming down and studying the skill for a while-it seemed like he couldn’t do that for now.

“En, now, is that okay?” “Really!” Jingyi said, a little worried.

“Alright, where are you? I’ll be right there.” Lin Yi and Sun Jingyi’s relations.h.i.+p wasn’t too close, but it was still closer than normal friends. It was only because Wu Chentian became Lin Yi’s follower recently that he stopped bothering sun Jingyi. Lin Yi and Sun Jingyi gradually drifted apart, and they didn’t keep in touch.

“MHM … It’s noon, let me treat you to lunch. We can talk as we eat. I know a new home of six tastes, and I heard it’s pretty good?” “It’s right behind Songshan’s first school, you’ll be able to see it if you come over. It’s a huge sign,”Jingyi said.

“Alright, I’ll go over now!” Lin Yi replied.

Lin Yi put the skill on the table and said goodbye to Mengyao and Yushu before driving to the home of six tastes. He saw sun Jingyi’s Red Audi A41 at the entrance, and it seemed that she had already arrived.

Lin Yi parked his car and walked into the home of six tastes. A waiter came over.”Sir, are you alone or do you have an appointment?”

“Was there a lady with the surname sun who booked a private room earlier?” Lin Yi didn’t know if sun Jingyi told the waiter or not.

“May I know your name, Sir?” The waiter did not answer, but asked with a smile.

“I’m surnamed Lin. ” Lin Yi said.

“There’s a Lady Sun Jingyi who’s booked a room, please follow me, Sir. ” The waiter confirmed Lin Yi’s ident.i.ty.

Lin Yi nodded, thinking that the service here was pretty good, and the privacy of the customers was well protected.

Lin Yi followed the waiter to a room, and the waiter made a gesture to open the door for him.

“So fast?” Jingyi had just arrived as well, and was surprised to see Lin Yi right after her.

“You already said it’s urgent, how can I not be quick?” Lin Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.”What, you’re not in a hurry anymore?”

“No… But it’s not that it’s very urgent.” Jingyi said, a little embarra.s.sed.”But it seems that the summoning of my lover is still very powerful!”

“Lover? You still have the nerve to say that? You treat me like a lover when you need me, but when you don’t need me, you don’t even give me a call?” Lin Yi smiled,”plus, we’re lovers, but I didn’t get any benefits at all. I didn’t even get to hold your hand, let alone kiss you. Isn’t that a little too sad?”

“Aiya, Alright, alright, you’re half a lover, after all. You’re just pretending, the kind in name only, at most … If you Make Me Like You, I can give you some benefits!” Jingyi blinked as she looked at Lin Yi, her eyes full of love.

“Come on, I don’t believe you. Don’t try to fool me. If I don’t have time to waste with you, I’d rather go home and hug Tang Yin. ” Lin Yi shrugged, not falling for Jingyi’s seduction.”I was fooled by you back then, and you expect me to be fooled again? To quote a saying, the same move is ineffective against cultivators!”

“By the way, what’s your current strength?” Jingyi said, remembering something when Lin Yi mentioned pract.i.tioners.

“What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly asking this?” Lin Yi was on alert after hearing Jingyi’s words-it wasn’t that he didn’t trust her, but this was a critical time. The n.o.ble House meeting was about to start, and the strength of Lin Yi and the people around him had to be kept a secret. Otherwise, it’d be troublesome if house Yu found the Hidden House Yu as external help!

And Jingyi was from house sun, too-Lin Yi had to be careful! He didn’t have much contact with Jingyi, but his instincts told him that she wouldn’t harm him. He was just worried that she’d be used by another family without knowing!

After all, everyone knew what happened between Chentian and Jingyi-people who didn’t know might start with Jingyi, and Lin Yi had to be extra careful.

“Of course it’s useful, just tell me …” Jingyi didn’t notice the change in Lin Yi’s expression as she flipped through the menu.

“Isn’t it the same as before? Don’t you already know?” Lin Yi asked.

“Profound grade? Mystic mid phase?” Jingyi wasn’t too sure-she didn’t remember much at the time, but she was surprised that Lin Yi was a pract.i.tioner as well. House sun’s pract.i.tioning was a bit of a different type, and she wasn’t as sensitive to strength levels as other pract.i.tioners.

“En, pretty much …” Lin Yi replied,””Let’s not talk about this for now. Why did you ask me to come?”
