“Miss Yue Yue, are you really okay?” Of course, Lou Shan Yan was unaware of her inner thoughts. He sincerely believed the girl was too kind, risking her life to save him during their first meeting, naturally forming a certain perception of her in his heart!
Jie’er reached out and strongly patted his shoulder, laughing, “Don’t worry, sir. I’m really fine. Besides, I have a great doctor next to me who won’t let anything happen to me. Right, Xu Ran?”
Jie’er nudged Lu Xu Ran with her elbow, signaling him to say something. The guy simply turned his face away, acting like he didn’t hear. Jie’er was helpless and whispered a threat, “If you don’t want to be my doctor, just say so. I’ll find someone else!” Lu Xu Ran then reluctantly mumbled “Hmm” in agreement.
Since Miss Yue is fine, Shan Yan is relieved. This life of Shan Yan was saved by the young lady, and in the future, I will protect her with my life. I hope the young lady will agree to let Shan Yan stay by her side!” What? Does he mean that he cannot repay the life-saving grace, so he wants to offer himself?
With a handsome guy volunteering to be a flower guardian, Jie’er naturally wouldn’t be stupid enough to refuse. But someone wasn’t happy. Lu Xuyuan jumped between the two again and shouted, “She won’t agree!”
Jie’er immediately looked at him suspiciously. Who said she wouldn’t agree? When did this guy become her spokesperson?

Lou Shan Yan directly bypassed Lu Xuyuan, gently gazing at Jie’er, “Miss Yue?”
“I, I have no objections!” Jie’er’s consciousness had already turned into a mess in his pool-like eyes. She knew she had always been defenseless against handsome men.
“Then——”
“I don’t agree!” Lu Xuyuan, unwilling to be ignored, spoke up again.
Everyone simultaneously turned their eyes to him. Under multiple gazes, Lu Xuyuan said coldly, “This guy is clearly a troublemaker. Keeping him by your side will only drag you into trouble. He doesn’t even have the ability to protect himself, so how can he protect young Jie’er?”
“I agree with Young Master Lu,” Mo’er stepped forward in time, holding Jie’er’s hand. “Sister-in-law, Young Master Lu is right. Have you forgotten that you almost lost your life the first time you met? Who knows how many such incidents might happen if you keep him around? We don’t know who he is; it’s too dangerous to keep him by your side!”
“Young Miss,” Die’er tugged her clothes, her eyes full of worry.
Jie’er hesitated, looking at everyone, finally fixing her gaze on Lou Shan Yan. Actually, everyone was right. Rather than having him protect her, she wanted to protect this man who exuded a sense of loneliness, inexplicably making her feel heartache!
Jie’er pushed past everyone and walked to Lou Shan Yan, saying firmly, “I believe him!” The words were for the three people behind her, but her eyes were on him!
“Jie’er—” Lu Xuyuan wanted to say more, but Jie’er smiled and interrupted, “Enough, Xuyuan. I know what you want to say, and I know you’re concerned about me. But I’m no longer a child and know what I’m doing!”
“I’m not trying to stop you!” came Lu Xuyuan’s unwilling voice. “I’m saying that since you’ve agreed to let that guy follow you, I’ll follow you too. You can’t possibly refuse, right?”
“Wh-what?” Jie’er was momentarily stunned, not understanding what these guys were thinking.
Jie’er didn’t ask who Lou Shan Yan was, nor why someone wanted to kill him, just as Lu Xuyuan didn’t ask why she wanted to keep Shan Yan. Everyone has their own secrets; not every story is worth exploring…
……
When the Year Fought the Drunk Yan Red (3)
With two handsome bodyguards suddenly added, Jie’er felt uncomfortable, finding it too conspicuous when going out, so she mostly stayed in the beauty salon. With Lu Xuyuan and Lou Shan Yan overseeing ‘Women’s World’, business was beyond just “very good” – it was packed!
Jie’er sat behind the counter, counting money until her hands went numb, simultaneously planning whether to open a branch store. Life couldn’t be more wonderful!
Because she had been busy training Li Xin and then was poisoned and unconscious, she felt something was missing from her mind. Only when she saw Zhao Nanny did she remember the matter of the staff uniforms.
Jie’er had always believed women looked most beautiful in qipao, not only highlighting a woman’s perfect curves but also displaying a unique elegant charm. So she had long taken the girls’ measurements and designed drafts, just never had the chance to take them to Xiang Yue Workshop.
Today she finally remembered, and pulled out the draft from a pile of account books, handing it to Zhao Nanny to take away.
Within days, clothes and shoes were delivered. The girls were incredibly curious about the new clothes, touching and looking but no one dared to wear them.
“Sister-in-law, these clothes?” Mo’er finally spoke up as a representative.
Jie’er looked up from the pile of account books, glanced at the clothes in her hand, then at Mo’er’s expression, and couldn’t help saying, “Is there a problem with the clothes? I specially designed these uniforms. Everyone will wear these qipao when working in the store, perfectly showcasing our store’s characteristics!”
Mo’er looked troubled, “The clothes are beautiful, but aren’t they a bit… revealing?”
“Oh?” Jie’er suddenly remembered she was in ancient times, and it might be difficult for everyone to accept these clothes. She scratched the back of her head, laughing awkwardly, “Hehe, I forgot to ask everyone’s opinion. No problem, if you don’t like them, just set them aside. I’ll redesign them!”
“Mm!” Mo’er finally relaxed, “Could we keep these as souvenirs? The girls seem to like them!”
Jie’er smiled, “Of course! The clothes were meant to be given to everyone. Since they’re uncomfortable wearing them outside, let them take them home to try on secretly!” In fact, she was already happy as long as everyone appreciated her design…
Heihei, I’ll thank my sister-in-law on behalf of the girls!
“Silly girl, no need to be so polite with me!” Jie’er cleared a spot beside her, pulling Mo’er to sit down, “You’ve worked hard these days. The beauty salon could open smoothly thanks to you. I’ve thought about it, and in the future, the shop will also count as your share. If there’s anything, just decide for yourself without asking me!”
Mo’er stood up in shock, “How can this be?”
Jie’er laughed carelessly, pulling her back to her seat, “What’s not possible? I’m the boss, and I say so. Come, try the pastry I made myself!” She then handed her the osmanthus cake she had made.
Mo’er took it with a smile, elegantly putting it in her mouth, then said half satisfied and half admiring, “Sister-in-law, this pastry is delicious, sweet but not cloying, with a light osmanthus fragrance. You’re really amazing, you know everything, unlike me…” Halfway through, she suddenly became dejected.
“How could that be? Mo’er is so smart. If you want to learn, I can teach you!” Jie’er thought about how she had been without parents since childhood, living under others’ roofs from a young age, and even though she was her own aunt, she still had to look at others’ faces. Her life definitely wasn’t easy, and she couldn’t help but feel a bit more compassionate towards her.
“Really?” Mo’er’s previous gloom swept away, happily holding Jie’er’s hand.
“Of course. With mom and my husband not around, you can come find me anytime if you’re bored. I’ll secretly tell you I have many fun things, and I can teach you all of them!” Thinking that playing alone was quite boring, and although Die’er was by her side, that girl was cautious due to her maid status and timid. Now that a perfect ally had finally appeared, Jie’er naturally wouldn’t miss the opportunity.
“Mm!” Mo’er nodded happily.
