Chapter 115 - No Philandering

Alright, Ill get there at once

Lingshans heart sank- locating the main perpetrators was something worth celebrating, but

Not when they were dead!

It only meant that things were much more complicated than they had thought- the two criminals mustve been wiped out to tie off loose ends.

The case just turned much more complicated, as well. Itd be an absolute challenge for them to find out who the mastermind was.

Lingshan decided to bring some men to the scene, ignoring the pain in her head.

Yao Yao, whats wrong? Yushu asked, evidently noticing the strange behavior Mengyao was displaying.

Shed assumed that Mengyao was behaving herself, being the good girl since Uncle Chu was right there and all, but That didnt seem to be the case.

Its nothing

Mengyao was pissed at Lin Yi for being a pervert, but she couldnt just tell her best friend that she was jealous of her, could she?

Oh. I really liked those fried mushrooms yesterday, what about you? Yushu asked suddenly, nodding her head.

...... Mengyao was speechless, but Yushus randomness cheered her up. Youre really into food stands arent you, Shu Youll be saving a lot of money for your husband some day

Hehe, youll be marrying too if I get married you know? Ill be saving money for you too... Yushu grinned playfully.

Wha huh? Mengyaos face reddened instantly upon realizing what Yushu was talking about. She raised her hand and hit Yushu a little, flushed. Stop bringing that up, it was when we were little!

Heh heh, so what? We pinky promised! Yushu said, blushing as well. She glanced at Lin Yi a little as she considered the likelihood of Uncle Chu choosing Lin Yi as his son in law.

Hmph! Mengyao turned her head away from Yushu, clearly a lot of stuff going on in her mind.

It was a secret between the two of them, a promise theyd made when they were younger. They never told anyone about it, but they did bring it up jokingly every once in a while after growing up.

It was six or seven years ago, when they were watching a drama about two besties- they wanted to be best friends forever so much that they married the same guy

That idiot Yushu, naturally, suggested to her Yao Yao that the two of them could do the same thing when Mengyao got married, and be together forever

It was a pretty good idea, Mengyao thought. She agreed, and the two girls hooked their pinkies together in promise..

The idea turned out to be quite a ridiculous one as the two of them aged, but it was something funny to bring up every now and then..

Especially that time when Yushu didnt want to call Mengyao Yao Yao Sis anymore, it looked like she was trying to act cute- they were in the same class, after all. (okay, Yao Yao Sis is what Yushu calls Mengyao, while Mengyao calls Yushu Little Shu. I adjusted it for aesthetic purposes)

Mengyao, however, threatened Yushu with the secret, telling her that shed naturally have to call Mengyao sis since shed be the elder wife, and that shed tell everyone their secret if she failed to comply

Helpless, Yushu decided to just continue calling her Yao Yao Sis- it wasnt long before it became a habit of hers.

Yushu was younger than Mengyao by a few months, after all. Calling her sis wasnt really inappropriate or anything.

Naturally, this secret was shared by the two girls exclusively- they were the only ones who knew about it.

Lin Yi only shook his head at the two girls- what the hell were they even talking about? He decided to leave it be, since the girls wouldnt tell him even if he asked, anywyay.

Lin Yi then shut his eyes. He looked like he was resting, but was actually busying himself with something else.

Elder Jiao, about that jade signal earlier

Lin Yi still didnt know how the signals were sent out, and thought that it mightve had something to do with Elder Jiao.

Signal? Yazi asked, clearly not understanding where this was coming from. Whatre you talking about, what signal?

You didnt sense anything? Lin Yi was surprised at the words. That instant when the chandelier was about to drop, I felt a signal from the jade Signal as in the signals the jade sends me every time something dangerous is about to happen

Honestly, didnt feel anything. Yazi said, trying to remember anything noteworthy from earlier.

Uh something the jade just does, then? An ability it has? Lin Yi asked, knowing that it was impossible for Elder Jiao to be lying to him.

Thats possible. As I said, my masters master left that jade, so I dont know what other abilities it has. Youll have to go discover them yourself- youll probably learn something new when you go to the cave the next time the doors open Yazi explained.

I see. Lin Yi said helplessly. It seemed that Elder Jiao didnt know too much about the jade. The training space must be one of its abilities, as well.

The car stopped in front of the villa, and Li Fu drove off after dropping off Lin Yi, Mengyao, and Yushu. Pengzhan clearly had something else to attend to.

Lin Yi!! Mengyao exclaimed, turning her head towards Lin Yi abruptly.

Huh? Lin Yi blinked as he looked at the Miss.

Youre not allowed to mess with girls when on duty from now on!! Mengyao ordered. It was something shed been thinking about the whole car trip, a concern shed decided to address after gathering some courage.

Uh, but I dont..? Lin Yi said. Was the Miss displeased that hed been hitting on girls during work time?

Dont do it anymore if you were, and keep it that way if you dont! Mengyao continued, not very comfortable with mentioning the whole thing with Song Lingshan.

Oh Okay. Lin Yi nodded. So only when on duty, right?

My dads paid a lot of money for your services, for you to be my twenty four hour shield! Youre with me all the time, youre never off duty! Mengyao concluded before walking off with Yushu.

Ah Fuck. Lin Yi smiled bitterly. Jeez, even old slave masters dont do that, right Im practically a slave, huh? This girl

You were so cool back there, Yao Yao! Yushu said excitedly.

Hes gotta step away from all that flirting and playing with girls, hes going overboard! How am I supposed to trick Zhong Pinliang if he goes and does all that? Mengyao said, not understanding why she was even bothering with a justification.

But Yao Yao, I dont think Zhong Pinliang knows Shield Guys your boyfriend yet I mean you dont talk to Shield Guy at all, and you even let Zhong Pinliang have his way with him Yushu grinned. Maybe I should go tell Pingy that Shield Guys your boyfriend tomorrow? Ill also tell him about the two of you moving in together, heh Hes so scared of Shield Guy that hell definitely piss himself if I tell him that

(might as well mention that Yushu actually calls him Shield Bro instead of Shield Guy. tell me if youd like that changed)
