Mu Xichen seemed to have sensed something and scanned the area.
Bai Yuan hid immediately and walked away.
Li Beinian gazed at the back of his hand and asked, “What happened?”
“It’s nothing. Old Xing was exaggerating.” Mu Xichen placed his hands behind his back and then looked towards the few policemen. “I’ll send you back.”
“What?” Li Beinian was surprised. “You are sending me? Are you not busy here?”
“It’s okay.” Mu Xichen looked at her with darkened eyes.
Li Beinian blinked and looked around. Everyone else seemed to be busy with their matters. She coughed lightly. “There’s no need, I’ll go back with the police. You can carry on with your duties.”
Hearing this, Mu Xichen tilted his head and looked away. “Bai Yuan.”
Bai Yuan was terrified as he looked over.
Nonetheless, he still came to Mu Xichen and saluted him. “Yes, Sir!”
“Follow me.” Mu Xichen turned around and walked towards the direction of the police. “You’ll be her bodyguard, all the way until she’s back in the country.”
Bai Yuan was surprised. Soon, happiness overwhelmed him and he yelled out, “Yes, Sir!”
Li Beinian was dumbfounded. “Hold on!”
Confused, she brisk-walked to Mu Xichen. “Hey, you mean you won’t just be sending me back, you are sending someone to follow me?”
“Yes.” Mu Xichen turned and gazed at her. He then solemnly said, “Bai Yuan might look playful, but he has good skills.”
“I don’t need a bodyguard. If you a.s.sign someone to follow me like this, the film crew might misunderstand that I’m having another man!”
Bai Yuan heard her and added, “Umm… Correct, I’m a man.”
Mu Xichen glared at him.
Bai Yuan immediately became serious. “I will do my utmost to protect her. Leave it to me!”
Mu Xichen relaxed and acknowledged him. He then turned around and said, “Gu Mingye.”
“Yes!”
“I’ll be back soon. Call me if there’s anything.”
Gu Mingye stood straight and answered loudly, “Yes, Sir! I’ll complete the mission!”
Under the jealous gazes of the other army personnel, Bai Yuan went to pack his belongings.
Li Beinian’s emotions were complicated. She said seriously to Mu Xichen, “It’s just this once that I got cheated. There won’t be another time. Take your man back. Having a bodyguard around me will affect me badly.”
“He won’t follow you for long,” Mu Xichen said solemnly. “If anyone asks, just tell them he is tasked by the country to protect you.”
“But…”
“I’m ready!” Bai Yuan ran over excitedly, carrying his backpack. “Sir, when are we leaving?”
“Now.”
Mu Xichen took the lead and walked towards the police car.
He turned around to see Li Beinian still rooted to her spot.
Mu Xichen frowned and asked, “You want to spend the night here?”
Only then did Li Beinian walk towards the car uneasily.
It was a seven-seater SUV. The front seats were full. Thus, Li Beinian sat in the back with Mu Xichen.
It was a mere three-hour ride to Shengnan Island. It wasn’t particularly far or near.
Because of that unanimous “Sorry” by the army, she only managed to sleep very late last night.
Thus, she started feeling sleepy the moment she sat in the car.
Holding onto the window, she slept as the car drove unsteadily.
The roads were uneven at the borders.
After some time, the car jolted suddenly and Li Beinian’s elbow slipped, causing her to fall.
