He's My Fiancée ! : I Went Back To The Past and You !

Chapter 105: Dependable Bodyguards

Yu Yang Lu glanced a moment and cued the head maid to clean the table. "Ah, Xiao Yun."

"Mn?" Xiao Yun faced up, dabbing a tissue to her greasy lips.

"Do you remember tomorrow is cousin Yin's birthday? He is about to turn 17th tomorrow? You should ask Xiao- Lei to come with you tomorrow." Yu Yang Lu said before leaving the dining room. 

Seeing her mother left, Xiao Yun gasped belatedly. "Huh?!"

She forgot!!

Even before the incident between her and Wang Li Lei's family, she has an urgent mission of her cousin's birthday!

Xiao Yun looked at her phone and tapped the keyboard for a moment. 

[Lovely Xiao Yun: About Tian Yi and Hi Gu Yan, I planned to give them work around the house. ]

[King Li Lei: That sounds good. I will send them there.]

[Lovely Xiao Yun: Also... I just remembered, tomorrow is my cousin's birthday... Are you free?]

[King Li Lei: Yes.] It took only 0,15 seconds for Wang Li Lei to answer her invitation.

[Lovely Xiao Yun: Really? :3?!]

Wang Li Lei's eyes froze at the emoji that Xiao Yun sent. 

:3?

What's that?

[King Li Lei: Yes. At what time does the party start?]

[Lovely Xiao Yun: Hm... Probably at 7 o'clock.]

[King Li Lei: Then, I will come at 6:30]

[Lovely Xiao Yun: Alright! I can't wait to see you tomorrow!]

[King Li Lei: Me too.]

Xiao Yun's face warmed from Wang Li Lei's words. She put down her phone and tapped at the tableside. 

Xiao Yun's parents, Yu Chang Xing and Yu Yang Lu had never been in a very good term with her first uncle Yu Zhong Yu. 

It started when her Xiao Yun's grandmother Yu Xin Lin and her grandfather Yu Nuo gave the CEO position of Yu's Company to their second child Yu Chang Xing. 

It wasn't because they favor Xiao Yun's father more than her first uncle, however, since young, her first uncle always lost control of his composure and had a very short temperament that led to a large mistake. 

Xiao Yun's grandparents decided to hand over the position toward their diligent second child Yu Chang Xing. 

Since then, Xiao Yun's first uncle had always held a deep hatred and grudge against his little brother. Yu Zhong Yu's business skill was only a bit lower than her father and although he had an inferiority complex with his younger brother, he never charged or ruined anything of his younger brother's work. 

Her relationship with Yu Zhong Yu's children could not be also called as 'the best'. Yu Bei Dan Xiao Yun's first elder cousin and Yu Shin Yang her second elder cousin. 

Yu Shin Yang, her second cousin had always held a very jealousy stares and glares toward her since childhood; and although Xiao Yun had never fought with her head-to-head. 

Xiao Yun knew just how twisted Yu Shin Yang's personality is. Yu Shin Yang was one of the people who rejoiced every time Xiao Yun was trashed talk behind her and gossiped till her mouth split into two about Xiao Yun's...

Well, Xiao Yun called it "Gossip" however, in truth it was more like a "slander".

Yu Bei Dan on the other hand never really talked that much, but it seemed he is a better person than the other people in his family. 

There was once when Yu Bei Dan scolded Yu Shin Yang when she was berating Xiao Yun in front of her grandmother.

For once, Xiao Yun thought him as a kind person. Xiao Yun also praised the Gods for bringing the gentle Yu Bei Dan to the helpless family... Perhaps its God's mercy to them.

Tomorrow, the person who would be holding the birthday party is Yu Chang Xing's younger brother's adoptive son, Yu Que Yin. 

Yu Chang Xing and his older brother didn't have a close relationship, however, Yu Xia Shi, Yu Chang Xing's younger brother always stuck close to him and have a very good sibling relationship. 

Xiao Yun could not clearly remember the reason why her third uncle adopted Yu Que Yin but as his only son, her third uncle and aunt really doted heavily on Yu Que Yin, thus the reason they always celebrated Yu Que Yin's birthday merrily. 

A young maid came behind and bowed lightly in front of Xiao Yun. "Young lady, we received two guests at the entrance. They seemed to have a business with you."

Xiao Yun raised her brow, 'is it Tian Yi and Hi Gu Yan?'. "Alright."

She marched toward the door and saw Tian Yi who had been talking non-stop with Hi Gu Yan with a friendly expression. 

Xiao Yun was worried that Tian Yi would hold a grudge and put a fence between him and Hi Gu Yan but her worries flew after seeing their chaotic peals of laughter. 

"You two had grown closer by a count of a night? That's impressive!" Xiao Yun spoke with a clap.

Hi Gu Yan politely bowed down in an almost too suffocating way. Xiao Yun waved her hand. "Ah- no need for that."

Hi Gu Yan stubbornly protested. "I could not do that, little miss, you have saved me and my allies life and did full revenge for them, this much is nothing too polite."

Xiao Yun gave a slight nod. Knowing Hi Gu Yan's personality and the hardness of his head, her persuasion would only be futile. 

Tian Yi from the side chirped in. "Da-Jie, are you sure you will give us work? I think I have told you this before... But I cannot handle any fragile things..."

Xiao Yun, of course, knew this, but was still interested in the categories of "Fragile things" of Tian Yi and asked. "What kind of fragile thing?"

Tian Yi raised his chin up to the ceiling and gave a long "hm..." to think. " Plates, spoons, cups, anything in the dining room, flowers and other greeneries... Table, chair, shelves, doors..."

Xiao Yun slanted her head. She could still accept plates, spoons, cups, or gardens, but... Table, chair, shelves, and doors...?

Doors?

Xiao Yun further questioned. "What happened if you handle those things?"

"Well, they just broke?" Tian Yi replied with an unstable tone. With an innocent puppy face. 

Just broke...?

Xiao Yun hand itched for a facepalm. She looked toward Hi Gu Yan and asked. "What about you? Anything you can't handle?"

Hi Gu Yan, unlike Tian Yi, shook his head. "No, little miss. I could do almost everything including cooking or washing."

"Cooking? How good are you at cooking?" Xiao Yun's question derailed. 

Hi Gu Yan paused. "It's quite delicious. My teammates used to say it taste the same as a five-star restaurant."

Although Hi Gu Yan's words at first glance sound like a bragging, based on Hi Gu Yan's professional personality, he was certainly stating the truth.

Wow! Are you really an ex-army?! I can't even cook! Xiao Yun gave a round of applause with sparkling eyes, everything that related to food could be made her eyes sparkle this brightly. Hiring such a promising person, Xiao Yun expressed her praise to herself.

"- And, little miss, I do have a question for you." Hi Gu Yan added hesitantly. 

The generous Xiao Yun waved her hand. "Ask away."

"Little miss, are you sure it is fine for me to work under you? I had once tried to harm you and you haven't asked anything about my past." 

Xiao Yun shrugged her shoulder. "Does hiring someone as my bodyguard needs a CV? I'm not such a person- I wouldn't judge someone by their past and what they have done, but their own determination and personality. For me, hiring someone first need trust followed by loyalty. And I believe you two fulfilled that, right?"

Xiao Yun since young is the type of person to draw a line between enemies and allies. It was not her style to blindly mark someone as her enemy only because of their family or past, but from what she had seen. 

Yesterday, even though Tian Yi could lose his life to protect Xiao Yun who he had just met, he still didn't leave her alone and continued to protect her. And Hi Gu Yan, unlike his rough-looking face, he is both polite and loyal, even after what happened, he prioritized his allies' life. 

In the past, she was a hundred percent sure there was once when she saw Hi Gu Yan in Wang Li Lei's black guards, so something that butterfly effect that she did must have put Hi Gu Yan in this state.

A smile contrasting to Hi Gu Yan's rough-looking face showed. "Yes, thank you very much for answering my question."

For Hi Gu Yan, living without a master means that he lost half of his life. He expected that no one would hire him anymore, however, the little miss exceeded his thoughts and warmly welcomed him. 

He could only feel nothing but gratitude toward Xiao Yun. 

Xiao Yun, "Ah- I told you not to be so stiff. It makes me look like the daughter of mafia or something-"

Tian Yi gave a surprised look. "Da-Jie, you are not the daughter of the mafia?"

Hi Gu Yan's eyes slightly widened from Xiao Yun's words. 

 'Why does this two look so surprised?'

"Of course, I'm not." Xiao Yun briefly replied.
