The Female CEO Falls in Love with Me

(Chapter 5 is still in progress, aiming to release it around midnight! Please support with monthly July tickets!)

Li Yan followed the two of them to a corner of the wall, only to find that the two figures had vanished.

Li Yan hesitated for a moment; he actually already understood that he had been discovered!

Because the walls on both sides were very bright and clean, and as he walked past, there were glass mirrors with no one else around, they clearly noticed him.

Of course, he wasn't afraid of danger, he just wanted to figure out their identities. Now that they had discovered him, they were probably waiting up ahead. If he turned back and left, he wouldn't be clearly seen by them, but it might arouse suspicion.

Therefore, after a slight hesitation, he continued to walk forward.

Sure enough, just after turning a corner, the two were standing there, looking at him expressionlessly.

"Why are you following us?" said the woman, her hand linked through the man's arm, appearing to be a couple.

Li Yan didn't deny it, looked around, and intentionally lowered his voice, "Aren't you here for the same reason I am?"

"Reason?" The woman frowned.

"It's Nian Yufei!" Li Yan said mysteriously, noticing a flicker in the woman's eyes.

"What reason?"

"Aren't you looking for Nian Yufei's dressing room?" Li Yan pretended to be surprised, "I just want to privately ask for her autograph, and maybe take a picture together." He waved the remaining spare tickets.

The woman's expression seemed to relax significantly, while the man remained silent.

"Nian Yufei's dressing room isn't on this side. We just wanted to find a quiet place to chat for a bit. If you're looking for the dressing room, you should go to a place with security!" After saying this, the woman looked at Li Yan as if urging him to leave quickly.

Li Yan suddenly felt disappointed and sighed, "With security, huh? Then they probably won't let me in. Forget it, I'll look around some more."

As he turned to leave, he could feel the gaze of the two on his back, which amused him a bit. These tickets really were great tools, making anyone think he was a die-hard fan.

From observation earlier, he definitely sensed there was something off about these two, but they seemed to have snuck in with those two handsome foreign guests. If they were to act before the concert started, it would be a constrained affair, easily implicating them. Most likely, if they were assassins, they would wait until all the audience was seated or after the concert to make a move?

He had already arranged everything he needed to do, and all the tools were set in advance. Now, he could continue to familiarize himself with the environment more comfortably. Since he was wearing a temporary work permit and not familiar with everyone, nobody called upon him to do much work.

While Li Yan was nestled in a corner waiting for time to pass, unexpectedly, Li Jie called him!

The two had gotten to know each other from protecting Yu Xiaodi last time. Besides collaborating a few times, they had exchanged some playful banter, and she had used an overhead throw while he utilized the Dragon Claw Hand to snatch her bra, leading to a feud of arms. Afterwards, they met once at the Jie Rui Security Guard Company, but there wasn't much private contact. Seeing her last night at Nian Yufei's place was already very surprising.

"Why are you looking for me? I haven't heard the endearing call of 'silly girl' for a while?" Li Yan laughed softly, knowing full well she should be by Nian Yufei's side, protecting her and unable to be angry.

Li Jie paused before saying coldly, "What's going on with you?"

"What's going on with what?"

"Yu Xiaodi!" Li Jie thought he was pretending not to know. "You got a stack of complimentary tickets from Nian Yufei yesterday, yet you only gave Xiaodi one."

Li Yan was a bit perplexed, "Could it be... do you think Xiaodi has such a big behind that she needs several seats?"

"..." Li Jie was speechless for a moment, then spat out, "No good can come out of your mouth! I mean, you had tickets, why didn't you accompany her to see the concert? If you're not going with her, why not give her a few more tickets so she could bring classmates? You let her come alone!"

Li Yan could finally understand a bit, "Did you talk to Xiaodi on the phone? Silly girl, it's like this, hustling some scalped tickets isn't easy, plus, I have to split the profits with your boss, you know. I gave Xiaodi two tickets; I'll go in with her. But I'm a very busy person, not to mention being very time-constrained today. Are you expecting me to distribute tickets to her classmates? Are you going to cover the costs?"

Upon hearing this explanation, Li Jie calmed down a bit. Knowing he would accompany Yu Xiaodi made sense. But another "silly girl" still made her curse him inwardly as detestable.

Not hearing her speak and about to hang up, Li Yan hurriedly continued, "Li Jie, I want to discuss something with you. I got the tickets from Nian Yufei, don't tell Xiaodi."

"Why?" Li Jie showed no emotion, mentally thinking: something's off!

Seeing Li Yan got a stack of tickets from Nian Yufei yesterday already aroused her doubts. Having a private meeting, and seeing Nian Yufei's slightly red eyes afterward seemed as if she had cried, fueling more suspicion. Now, with Li Yan requesting not to let Yu Xiaodi know, her doubts naturally deepened.

"It's not really appropriate. Otherwise, I'd have to go through how I know Nian Yufei from the start and why she'd let me distribute her tickets for her. It's a long story. Don't you want me to get along with Xiaodi? You don't want unnecessary trouble, right?"

Of course, this explanation didn't convince Li Jie; rather, it made her feel Li Yan was feeling guilty, and her tone became more assertive: "But why does it seem like there's something between you two?"

Li Yan was helpless, speaking in a deep voice, "Is your imagination running too wild?"

"You know it too?" Li Jie retorted sarcastically, "You dirty old man! Why are you so wicked?"

Li Yan broke into a cold sweat, realizing in her eyes, he's become the creepy uncle!

"Comrade Li Jie, given that we were family five hundred years ago, I think I should educate you. What's considered wicked? Being able to attract young girls, that's called mature charm, what has that got anything to do with wickedness!"

"You... arguing deceitfully!"

"Hmph, that's reality. On the contrary, we older 'bulls' have principles. For example, Xiaodi and I are still very pure, and there's absolutely nothing between Nian Yufei and me. Sister Li, don't slander me! Also, a piece of advice; be careful if you pay too much attention to my affairs; you might fall for me. You might not be that young anymore, so I might not hold back." Li Yan stifled a laugh, thinking even the last few sentences were a bit much.

Li Jie almost wanted to smash the phone. Initially wanting to reprimand him to be nicer to Yu Xiaodi, who would've thought it'd turn into him distorting logic, and now she was the one getting teased!

"You shameless..."

Hearing Li Jie's weak disdain, Li Yan stopped joking around.

"I told you seriously before. Whether or not to speak about it is up to you. However, I can share a piece of information. It's said... it's said! Don't ask me who said it. Presently, we only have Nian Yufei here; the target of those foreigners is her; the foreigners are her bodyguards..."

"Are you serious?" Li Jie perked up, no longer bothered by the side of Li Yan she disliked.

She was just part of a private security and bodyguard company. Even though her father had quite the connections, there were levels he couldn't reach. The task of protecting Nian Yufei this time came with a good pay rate. Seeing that she had other bodyguards beside her, Li Jie once thought she was just too delicate, a wealthy miss who overestimated her value, incomparable to Yu Xiaodi. Hearing this news now, she realized the situation was more complex than she thought.

"I said it's supposedly... I'll add, supposedly... This time Nian Yufei invited two young foreign pianists as guests..."

"Are you saying they want to kill Nian Yufei?"

"Ah, women, can't you not be so sensitive?" Li Yan lamented helplessly.

"Bah! ... Continue talking!"

"These are friends she's known from participating in international competitions before; theoretically, there shouldn't be problems. But in a public setting and without knowing who might have an intent on assaulting Nian Yufei or who may use them, some people need your attention. For instance, there might be one or two women following those two foreigners, sneaking in, who will bring one or two people with them, getting close enough to Nian Yufei. You should be careful yourself."

As Li Yan narrated, Li Jie's mind swiftly recalled images; her responsibility these days was to guard Nian Yufei closely, always paying keen attention to her surroundings. The foreigners had only surfaced after last night, and she didn't have much interaction with them yet. But today, upon arriving at the concert hall, such women did indeed follow those two foreigners.

"Thank you, I... owe you one!" Li Jie was already recalling their features, ready to start treating them as prime subjects of interest. Li Yan, in her view, was a mysterious individual. Although she knew he wouldn't reveal his information sources casually, she also knew he wasn't fabricating stories to tease her. Maintaining clarity, she immediately expressed her gratitude to Li Yan.

Li Yan suddenly thought, this bodyguard, does she even have a gun? If there really was danger, she might end up as a human shield. He sighed and said, "Silly girl... it's dangerous! Be careful..."
