The Super Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO-Chapter 37 - 29: Cinderella Version of the Male God

What a normal yet neurotic response! You can never guess a girl’s thoughts, no matter how much you try...

"Uh, okay," Lin Mu had to answer his own question, "Maybe you figured it out yourself, after all, spending all day scheming with a bunch of men must be a pretty boring task! Of course, I must admit, you’re the smartest woman I’ve ever met, men included, but there’s a saying in Huaxia about being too highbrow for most people. If I’m not mistaken, you don’t have any close friends around you, let alone a confidante, right?"

The beautiful president finally lowered her head in silence, "You’re right, but I have no other choice..."

"Why do you have to disguise yourself, why don’t you take a look in the mirror, you’re truly a flawless woman, but you’ve squandered heaven’s favor, made yourself like a tomboy, constantly trying to prove you’re stronger than a bunch of men. But this really isn’t for you. You should actually be trying to see who has the prettier dress among the girls..."

Realizing he might have overstepped, Lin Mu quickly apologized, "I’m really sorry, I misspoke. Perhaps because the Su Family has no male heirs, you’ve had to bear this heavy burden, it’s really hard on you!"

"You don’t have to apologize," Sophie surprisingly dropped her previous aloofness, revealing a sweet smile, looking like the girl-next-door, pure and adorable, "I should thank you, because you’re the first man to consider my inner feelings. However, since the Su Family has no male heirs and I’m the only descendant, I must keep the Su Family afloat..."

"Alright, if one day you feel tired or weary," Lin Mu gently gazed at Miss Su, "I have a safe harbor here, waiting for you..."

"Is this the legendary heartfelt love confession?"

Miss Su actually felt her eyes moisten for a moment, but luckily her self-adjustment ability was strong. In just a fleeting moment, she had quickly returned to a lively and mischievous expression, and there was even a hint of provocation,

"If you don’t think it’s too cheesy and outdated, it could barely count!"

Lin Mu suddenly realized that he was so nervous his face was burning, a feeling of his heart pounding wildly, something he hadn’t even experienced when facing an armed enemy a hundred times his number!

In fact, after battling on the African Continent for many years, Lin Mu had long grown tired of living on the edge. He yearned for a complete family, a soulmate he could embrace and kiss after coming home every day. Since returning from the North African Battlefield, he really did plan to settle down in the city, and Sophie was the kind of woman he was completely captivated by at first sight, unable to extricate himself!

"It’s a bit old-fashioned! Hmm, but this time I’ll make an exception, since the emotions are quite sincere..."

Noticing Lin Mu’s fervent gaze on her, Sophie immediately felt a strong sense of insecurity, "But this doesn’t mean I’ve accepted your confession. Don’t forget, you need to take a month to prove to me you’re a reliable man worthy of marriage! And don’t forget, I am a woman who easily regrets and falls out of love..."

"Uh..."

Wasting emotions, talking for so long, my mouth dry, yet still unable to move this girl, Lin Mu felt a bit disappointed. Luckily, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope, the cold ice had melted a bit, from total rejection to starting to trust him as her personal bodyguard; it seemed Lin Mu had taken a firm step towards love!

Even though it was just a small step back by the goddess’s slender legs, to Lin Mu, it was a giant leap forward to wonderful love!

But just as Lin Mu was feeling a little pleased with himself, Sophie’s next words brought his enthusiasm to a freezing point!

"Don’t let your imagination run wild, although you’re nominally my fiancé and have saved me twice, emotions can’t be forced. Frankly, you’re not my ideal man, I still don’t feel anything for you, only gratitude, but gratitude doesn’t mean love..."

"Damn..."

Lin Mu cursed under his breath, realizing that talking about feelings with women was the most heart-wrenching matter in the world, the prettier the woman, the deeper the pain!

Just as Lin Mu was about to storm out, Su Xiaowan strolled in.

"President, in an hour, it will be time for the Wancheng elite social event, do you need any preparations?"

"Okay, I know." Turning back, she said, "You should prepare too!"

"Okay!"

Watching Lin Mu’s figure disappear at the door, Sophie suddenly asked unexpectedly, "Xiaowan, what do you think of him?"

"You mean his character? Or?"

"Both!"

"Hmm, very brave! And he’s the strongest man I’ve ever met!"

"Uh, speaking so highly, surpassing even me..."

"Of course, he can’t match your talents, President... Hmm, I mean, you’re both strong in different fields, but now it’s an economic society. So frankly speaking, he doesn’t match up to you, President..."

"But he said just now, he’d support me!"

"So, what’s your decision? Not taking him tonight!"

As a small bodyguard, how could he dare to make such bold claims to the great president? Even though he’s nominally the future son-in-law of the Su Family, Sophie has never acknowledged him as her fiancé! Could he be ruined by President Su for such disrespectful words?

But just thinking about Lin Mu being stripped of his title by Sophie, Su Xiaowan suddenly felt a mix of disappointment and relief, though she couldn’t quite explain the feeling. However, if Lin Mu were no longer Sophie’s fiancé, would she have a chance to be with him without restraint?

"No, tonight, I want him to accompany me. Xiaowan, find a stylist and give him a makeover, lest he ruin our Su Family’s menswear reputation!" With that, she walked into the bedroom to change clothes.

"Uh..."

Ever since Lin Mu appeared out of nowhere in their sight, Su Xiaowan felt that Sophie had changed drastically, and she couldn’t quite understand the previously domineering and cold-frosted lady president anymore, her temperament had become so strange!

In the daze of her thoughts, Su Xiaowan distinctly heard President Su’s low sigh, "Ah, wasting youth, I’ll be twenty-five next year, youth is nearly over. If I don’t fall in love soon, I might grow old; if I don’t seize love, youth will be wasted..."

Uh, what’s happening? My goodness! Could the great president actually have feelings for this little bodyguard? Does real life have fairy tales? Is there a prince version of Cinderella? Su Xiaowan stared blankly at Sophie’s back, suddenly realizing that her imagination was truly lacking! Her mind was almost at a standstill.

But somehow, thinking about Lin Mu eventually tying the knot with Sophie, she couldn’t muster any feelings of blessing. Instead, there was a faint sense of loss. Xiaowan, Xiaowan, they have been betrothed since childhood, on what grounds do you envy them? Also, let’s not forget Sophie is your boss and your best friend. And what about yourself? You’re just an assistant running errands and writing reports all day...
