Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system

What made him presume himself to be the best? Ling Qingyu snorted at Lin Fan in her mind.

She highly doubted Lin Fan could compare with Tang Ziyi. But from the looks of the surface, it seemed Tang Ziyi was better since Lin Fan failed to detect her.

"But I'm satisfied with my security team. They have shown women can be just as efficient, if not more, in ensuring safety and tackling challenges. I think my life is okay." Ling Qingyu spoke.

By now if Lin Fan hadn't realized, that Ling Qingyu understood him thoroughly and knew his hidden plan all along, teasing in the dialogue, he would write his name upside down.

Since both sides knew, Lin Fan decided to puncture the window of confusion. Lin Fan wanted to cry but had no tears.

In this world, even with achievement and titles, there would be times, when a person didn't give face at all.

"Ms. Ling, please don't reject me outright and listen to my explanation." Lin Fan said with a wry smile. "Why don't you give me time to let me serve as your bodyguard? We're strangers currently; as time passes I believe Ms. Ling will have an answer by then. Besides, I'm not someone who will threaten your wealth or cheat your business."

Ling Qingyu rolled her eyes and replied: "Mr. Lin knew how to joke. Of course, I would never be worried about your character relative to wealth since you act more like a shopkeeper."

Boy, you are too young in front of me, Ling Qingyu thought.

Lin Fan shook his head helplessly and asked. "What do you think of my offer?"

"To be honest, I must admit I'm tempted but I will still give you 'no'." Ling Qingyu said.

Lin Fan's smiling expression dissipated and the air became heavy. Ling Qingyu also didn't back down and returned the stare, her expression still gentle.

If Tang Ziyi didn't exist or her system didn't exist, she might have considered Lin Fan's offer and drained some benefits but such was life, full of miracles and uncertainties.

No matter how much Ling Qingyu had expressed rejection, Lin Fan refused to give up, thinking a woman's heart resembled a block of ice, which would thaw given time.

The only problem was this ice wasn't a conventional type but a dry ice, the solid form of carbon dioxide.

Seeing Lin Fan wanting to persuade again, Ling Qingyu quickly added: "Even if you stay with me for a long time, the relationship will not change apart from boss and subordinates. It's better to be strangers between us, rather than disappointing our elders."

"But Ms. Ling, do you really think through? Sometimes people change and how would you know whether we'll be fine and make a good match in the future." Lin Fan said.

"I've thought everything through. And I can assure you, we will never make a good match."

"Why? Ms. Ling. Give me a reason, Let's exempt the marriage contract for now but why our simple close connection is impossible? There are benefits too." Lin Fan almost wiped his hair off his head by scratching hard.

"The reason is simple—because I don't like you staying around me and I want to continue my job without disturbance." Ling Qingyu breathed deeply and answered. Her patience was on the loose end with Lin Fan.

"Is it because you have someone you like?" Lin Fan calmed down and asked. His eyes getting dangerous as if someone touched his private possession.

Ling Qingyu was annoyed by his expression. How could she not understand Lin Fan's mindset?

"I'm not some woman who uses charm to manipulate men. Having you is already breaking my way of conduct. To your question, why should I give you an answer, whether I have one or not? Everyone has their own secrets." Ling Qingyu replied.

"Of course, I have the right to know, about my fiancee's life." Lin Fan growled in anger.

"Look, Mr. Lin, with all due respect I'm not yours and this marriage contract is a deal between the elders, and obeying everything elders asked for is the norm in the feudal era. I don't want my life to be controlled by others based on a mere contract." Ling Qingyu looked disappointed.

"How could you say that to your elders?" Lin Fan's grimace face appeared more and more grim. read-more-at-MvLeMpYr

Ling Qingyu didn't say anymore because none of her points were considered. All Lin Fan had in his mind was to let her agree or stretch the timeline waiting for her to nod her head in the future.

Why must everything go his way? Who did he think of himself? Ling Qingyu shook her head in her mind.

"I respect them but that doesn't make me comply with whatever they asked for. I live my life on my own terms." Ling Qingyu firmly expressed her denial.

Lin Fan's frustration was palpable as his jaw clenched. "Ms. Ling, you're being unreasonable; this isn't just about us…"

"Unreasonable? I think it's more unreasonable to expect me to conform to an outdated agreement that I had no say in making. Besides, my struggle, my life, everything is through my own hands. No one can dictate to me what I do." Ling Qingyu nudged her forehead with her finger.

If the lady was born into an aristocratic family where every necessity was provided by the family, she could understand, that there was a say by the elders. But Ling Qingyu was the complete opposite. Except for some care from her grandfather and making her path easier, she had to strive for everything by herself.

Frankly, even without her grandfather's hidden support, it might take time, but Ling Qingyu was certain, the end result remained the same. If the situation didn't dwell well for her, she could create an opportunity overseas, where the rights, rules, and regulations worked on her side.

On the contrary, even if the family provided everything for a person, it still couldn't force its will on someone. Coercing others was a felony in modern times, highly ignored by members of the public.

Lin Fan's current behavior already touched the tight string of Ling Qingyu. Coercing, manipulating, or taking advantage of moral values for his own use.

Now the correct word to describe Ling Qingyu's state of mind was pissed. She was definitely pissed.

Did every male protagonist behave similarly? Forcing their will upon others without regard for their wishes.

Thinking everything they did was justice while others were evils? Ling Qingyu somehow realized she had blamed the female protagonists in the novels too much.

Facing these kinds of rascals without becoming a rascal oneself was hard. Ling Qingyu decided to cut this matter. So what if she offended Lin Fan?

She didn't care now as long as she didn't attempt to kill him, everything would be fine.

If not for her grandfather already been dead for several years, Ling Qingyu would have dragged the old man and lifted him by the neck. Why did you leave a serious problem for your granddaughter?

What kind of elders are you? Even after death, you didn't leave your granddaughter a peaceful life?

Ling Qingyu even wanted to dig the grave and whipped the corpse.

If her dead grandfather knew her inner thoughts, he might die again of myocardial infarction. Oh no! The skeleton might even pale and turn to ashes from overloading.
