The Beautiful CEO’s Close Bodyguard

At the same time, outside the city in the forest, everything was full of suspicion.

Ye Liang stood there in a tight outfit, with one hand behind her back, listening intently. Ru Xue had asked to meet her here a while ago, but now Ru Xue hadn’t shown up, which made her suspect something was amiss.

However, after observing for a long time, she saw nothing unusual around her, except for some birds and beasts.

Ye Liang took a deep breath and called out loudly to the air, "If you don’t show up soon, I’m leaving!"

The sound echoed, and she could hear her own voice return.

She glanced around, turning in a circle, but apart from her echo, no one responded to her.

Ye Liang snorted under her breath, feeling like she was being toyed with.

Just as she was about to lift her foot to leave, a chuckle came from behind her, followed by Ru Xue’s delicate voice saying, "Oh, it’s been a few days since we’ve seen each other, and my little sister Ye Liang’s temper seems to have grown quite a bit."

Ye Liang turned around, seeing her dressed in elegance and luxury walking out from under a sturdy tree. She frowned slightly, "You came to meet me dressed like this?"

Although this outfit wasn’t the one worn at the conscription site today, it still appeared luxurious and powerful, too conspicuous and ostentatious.

Ru Xue looked down at her own attire, then spun around in front of Ye Liang, a faint smile playing on her lips, her chin slightly raised, her expression incredibly arrogant, "What’s wrong with this outfit? Doesn’t it look good?"

She laughed softly as she approached Ye Liang, and as she got closer, Ye Liang smelled a strong fragrance of expensive cosmetics, unlike anything from the women of Yihong House.

Ye Liang sneered inwardly, money really does make things different!

"I specifically dressed up to meet you, otherwise, I wouldn’t have been this late. Little sister Ye Liang, do you think my outfit doesn’t look good?"

Ye Liang stepped back, "It’s not that it doesn’t look good, it’s just too flashy. You asked me out, so if you have something to say, say it quickly? If we stay too long and are seen, it won’t be good."

"You saw what happened today too."

Seeing her unwillingness to cooperate, Ru Xue straightened up, becoming serious.

"Yes."

"Chu Ge is now appointed by the Prince as a military doctor and will go to the camp in the future. How could someone with opportunities to patrol everywhere suddenly agree to go to the camp?"

Ru Xue frowned and asked.

Ye Liang looked at her suspiciously, and suddenly realizing something, she looked at her in shock and asked, "Are you saying the Time-Space Gate is in the camp?"

Ru Xue nodded slightly, "Very likely, otherwise why would Chu Ge agree to join the camp? And why specifically request to go to Yellow Island?"

Ye Liang was even more puzzled, "If that’s the case, what’s your purpose in calling me here today? It couldn’t be just to tell me the location of the Time-Space Gate, right?"

Destroying the Time-Space Gate and Vermilion Bird Star was Ru Xue’s task, she had previously mentioned their tasks wouldn’t interfere with each other, but now Ru Xue had actively come to find her, which was rather strange.

"Of course not." Ru Xue’s fox-like eyes carried a faint smile. She placed a hand on Ye Liang’s shoulder, smirking, "With Chu Ge in the camp, it won’t be convenient for you to act."

Ye Liang remained silent, Ru Xue was right, if he went to the camp, it really wouldn’t be convenient for her to act. But she couldn’t dress as a man to enter the camp, especially after Feng Luo exposed her and Little Shunzi, although she managed to cover it up, if she dressed as a man to enter the camp now, her intentions would be even more obvious, it would be like shooting herself in the foot!

"What are you planning to do?" Ye Liang remained silent for a while, then asked.

Ru Xue had definitely called her over with some thoughts.

"Little sister Ye Liang, still as smart as ever."

Ru Xue laughed softly, she walked a few steps away from Ye Liang, then turned back, "Let’s cooperate."

Ru Xue’s brief five-word proposal carried a commanding tone, which made Ye Liang uncomfortable.

"Have you forgotten our palace rules? Tasks don’t interfere."

Ye Liang looked at her suspiciously, not knowing what she was planning. And if she remembered correctly, Ru Xue had mentioned when she first arrived that they would each do their tasks without interfering.

Seeing the confusion on Ye Liang’s face, Ru Xue cleared her throat, "I know what you’re thinking, but the situation has changed. I think it’ll be difficult to complete our tasks if we don’t join forces."

"..." Ye Liang was silent for a while, then asked, "Tell me."

"You don’t have the chance to go to the camp, and as the Princess Consort, it’s inconvenient for me too. If we join forces, I can arrange for you to be a maid by the Prince’s side, and you can go to the camp openly."

Ye Liang instinctively rejected, "Ru Xue, don’t misunderstand, my current identity is the eldest daughter of the Marquis Ye Mansion. You want a Marquis’ daughter to be someone’s maid?"

Ru Xue pretended to be surprised and covered her mouth, "Ah, I forgot your identity, look at my memory, you’ve been living in the old mansion, I almost thought you were a homeless beggar."

Ye Liang’s face flushed with anger, "Ru Xue, I know what you’re thinking, on the surface you say you want to cooperate, I can believe you want to cooperate for task completion, but there’s also a part of you that wants to bully me!"

Ru Xue clicked her tongue when she saw her anger, "Little sister Ye Liang, your temper is increasingly volatile, and how could you think me so bad? I know you feel bitter that the Palace Master arranged for me to be the Princess Consort, but I think your identity as the eldest lady of the Marquis Ye Mansion is much stronger than your previous task roles, it’s a good thing."

"Maybe a good thing, but not a matter for you!"

Seeing her unappreciative, Ru Xue’s smile gradually receded, and her voice was no longer as sweet as before, "Ye Liang, I’ve been kind to talk to you, and you ignore the advice. If you fail your task, don’t blame me."

Ye Liang glared at her and sneered, "If I fail my task, I’ll face the Palace Master for punishment, without needing your concern. But I advise you, keep away from Chu Ge. If I find you using the Fox Charm Technique on him again, beware I’ll report you to the Palace Master!"

Ru Xue chuckled lightly, "You think I’m afraid of you reporting? Haha, compared to favoritism, you don’t even match my toe! I don’t even see you, not just me, even the Palace Master doesn’t see you! But considering we’re comrades, I kindly remind you, if you fail your task, you won’t have the chance to return home to report me!"
