Chapter 720 Revisiting the Past

Twenty minutes later.

Jiang Ruan finished her meal.

The moment she put down her chopsticks, Lin Bei tentatively called out to her, "Miss Jiang."

Jiang Ruan wiped her mouth: "Hmm?"

"How was your meal?" Lin Bei asked, looking at the carefully prepared food. "Was it to your liking?"

Jiang Ruan: "It's fine."

Lin Bei glanced at Jiang Yu and said, "You tell me."

Jiang Yu: You say it.

Lin Bei: You yourself said that you are the mastermind and the chief planner.

Jiang Yu: You even said that if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known about this.

In the exchange of glances.

The two started arguing.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Ruan asked, noticing their flirtatious exchanges.

"Lin Bei needs your help." Jiang Yu betrayed him without hesitation.

"It's like you're asking for nothing." Lin Bei felt uncomfortable.

Jiang Ruan: "?"

A hint of confusion flashed in Jiang Ruan's eyes.

I don't quite understand why they would need to use the word "beg".

"Speak freely," Jiang Ruan said, glancing at her wristwatch.

"Actually, it's nothing serious." Lin Bei scratched his head, not wanting to waste any more time being coy, "I just want you to do us a small favor."

Jiang Ruan was even more confused.

"After the BOSS wakes up, could you put in a good word for us?" Lin Bei coughed lightly and said, "If he finds out what we did, he will definitely fire us."

It's one thing to plot against him behind his back.

They even fooled Miss Jiang.

Given the boss's personality, even if he doesn't fire them, he'll make them go back and reflect on their actions.

During their time away, it is highly likely that others will take advantage of the situation.

Then they won't be the boss's favorite people anymore.

“He won’t,” Jiang Ruan said.

"Yes," Lin Bei emphasized.

“You’ve worked for him for so many years, you should know his temperament better than I do,” Jiang Ruan said. “He’s not the kind of person who would fire someone easily.”

He will be angry.

They will blame you.

But this doesn't warrant dismissal yet.

Aside from his injuries, nothing serious happened.

“If it were just him who got injured, we would at most get a scolding and have our bonuses deducted,” Lin Bei said. “But this time we’ve dragged you into it and even frightened you.”

Hearing this...

Jiang Ruan understood the deeper meaning behind their words.

She looked at them, and saw right through them.

"Wh...what's wrong?" For the first time, Lin Bei couldn't withstand Jiang Ruan's gaze.

"After all this back and forth, you're trying to ask me if I'll bring the BOSS back to Haicheng?" Jiang Ruan put the question out in the open.

Lin Bei cleared his throat: "Is it that obvious?"

Jiang Ruan: "Mm."

Lin Bei: "So what do you think?"

Jiang Ruan's tone was rather indifferent: "Didn't I say that before?"

Lin Bei looked towards the river.

The latter remained calm.

It was as if they had already guessed it.

"Are you afraid I'll make the opposite decision after I take a nap?" Jiang Ruan guessed based on their reactions.

"I'm not afraid you'll make the opposite decision, but I'm more afraid that what happened before was a wrong decision you made in the heat of the moment." Lin Bei scratched his head, being very honest with Jiang Ruan.

Jiang Ruan paused for a moment.

Lin Bei continued, "We hope you can reconcile with the BOSS and free him from his current state, but we also hope that the decision is the result of your careful consideration, rather than a momentary emotional impulse."

"You've explained it so clearly, aren't you afraid I'll give a different answer?" Jiang Ruan looked at him.

"Of course we're afraid, but we don't want you to be unhappy later," Lin Bei said. "If you have a different answer after careful consideration, then we can only ask you to put in a good word for us with the BOSS and not fire us, since he listens to you."

Miss Jiang and the BOSS have reconciled; the BOSS will forgive them without Miss Jiang even having to say anything.

If they don't reconcile, Miss Jiang will have to put in a good word for them.

Regardless, this conversation must take place.

"Don't worry, the result hasn't changed," Jiang Ruan replied affirmatively.

"Really?" Lin Bei's eyes lit up.

Jiang Ruan: "Mm."

Lin Bei asked curiously, "When will you and the BOSS make up?"

Jiang Ruan: "Hmm?"

Lin Bei: "The three of us are living happily together."

"I'm just removing his self-imposed restrictions on him, not agreeing to remarry him." Jiang Ruan did indeed resist marriage, and this decision was merely a way of removing her psychological defenses.

Can we be together?

Will we end up together?

It all depends on whether he can dispel her fear of marriage and her fear of his methods.

Lin Bei paused.

Before he could speak, Jiang Yu said, "That's enough."

As long as Miss Jiang no longer sees him as a nuisance or someone who causes her trouble, the boss can find a way to solve everything else on his own.

"After we get back to Haicheng, can I come to your house for a meal?" Lin Bei's mind was full of ideas to help him get ahead of the trip.

Jiang Ruan hadn't spoken yet.

Mo Mo spoke first: "No."

Lin Bei blurted out, "I'm going."

Mo Mo: "Have you forgotten what happened before?"

Lin Bei: "?"

Lin Bei was completely confused.

What happened before?

“When we first arrived, you made a bet with me,” Mo Mo kindly reminded him. “Whoever loses has to acknowledge the other as the boss. The boss has to do whatever the boss tells them to do, and they can’t disobey or make excuses. If the boss’s orders conflict with the boss’s, the boss’s orders will prevail.”

Lin Bei: "..."

Lin Bei: "..."

Lin Bei's mental state collapsed.

After all that has happened, who still remembers?

"When did this happen?" He started to feign ignorance, a typical case of denying responsibility. "How come I don't know?"

Mo Mo: "?"

Mo Mo looked at Jiang Yu: "With such a bad memory, how can you be my husband's bodyguard?"

Jiang Yu glanced at Lin Bei, and considering that he was one of their own, decided to lend a hand: "An isolated case."

Mo Mo: "It's okay."

Lin Bei: "?"

Mo Mo: "?"

Mo Mo took out her phone and opened the recording from that time: "I recorded it back then in case anyone tried to cheat."

These words were spoken.

Lin Bei felt a cracking sound in his head.

He remembered.

Not only that.

He still remembered what he said...

"You even said back then that whoever tries to renege on their promise is a coward." Mo Moji, who was usually very easygoing, looked at the petrified Lin Bei as she said this and asked, "Do you remember now?"

"Maybe you fabricated this recording," Lin Bei continued shamelessly.

Just one sentence.

As a bodyguard for the boss, you need to be flexible and adaptable.

We can't just get a voiceprint analysis done because of this.

That's unrealistic.

Too much trouble.

"Are you sure?" Mo Mo asked.

Lin Bei continued to deny it: "It's a composite, I never said that, you can ask Jiang Yu if you don't believe me."

Mo Mo looked at Jiang Yu.

The latter wisely refrained from helping anyone: "I'm not very clear about your agreement. My attention and energy are basically focused on the BOSS and Miss Jiang."

“Me too!” Lin Bei quickly agreed. “Someone as busy as me, how could I possibly make such a pointless agreement with someone and then try to back out? How childish!”

"Is this your final answer?" Mo Mo's tone remained calm.

Lin Bei's heart trembled.

I always felt that danger lurked beneath the calm surface.

But seeing that Jiang Ruan was also there, he still mustered up his courage and said, "Yes!"
