Chapter 41 - Has He Eaten Today?

Yu Huiyin had once again reached her own conclusions. She was sure that Xie Jingyu was a normal law-abiding tycoon, and she was of the impression that no gang would send their higher-ups to the task of watching a small girl.

Unfortunately, Xie Jingyu was not an average person. He had indeed sent one of the higher-ranked experts to protect her.

He had personally picked Hui Liqiang because he was the best fighter amongst his men. Only by using him to protect Yu Huiyin would he feel safe.

Xie Jingyu, who was still at work, was feeling fidgety all day. Although he knew that he had managed to remove the rumors about him online, he was worried that she might have already seen something.

Realizing that he would not manage to get any more work done this evening, Xie Jingyu packed up his papers before he went out of the building and went to his car.

He ordered Assistant Song to drive him home; his body was restless, and his mind was all over the place as he was thinking up numerous scenarios that he might encounter when he returned home.

But while things usually followed as Xie Jingyu had expected, Yu Huiyin was someone who was different.

What greeted Xie Jingyu as he entered the sitting room was Yu Huiyin lying on her stomach on the couch, crunching on some ch.i.p.s, and watching the news.

Hearing the steps, she looked up, and when her eyes landed on Xie Jingyu, they sparkled.

"I didn't know you were so famous!" She exclaimed as she looked at him with worshipping eyes.

"You are so rich and so amazing at controlling a business! If I have problems later on, I will definitely ask you to help me out!"

Xie Jingyu was stunned, his eyes widening slightly in surprise. So had she seen the rumors or not?

"I met this middle-aged uncle I often talked with back where I lived before, and he knew Hui Liqiang. This might be a weird question, but do you take in gang members who want to leave the gang life?"

Xie Jingyu's lips twitched. So she had convinced herself that Hui Liqiang had left the gang life and was a law-abiding citizen now? She was usually so bright and intelligent, why was it that every time it had something to do with him, she became quite stupid?

"That's right," he said, humoring her, "I accept old gang members as my bodyguards, but they have to show some loyalty. Why are you asking?"

"I know a lot of people who were never successful in the gangs, but had to resort to illegal means to survive. Now they have a criminal record and can't find a proper job anywhere."

"Are they good people?" Xie Jingyu had no interest in taking in just anyone, but if Yu Huiyin felt that they were good people, then he did not mind taking them in, and either make them join his gang, or make a bodyguard company for them.

Hearing that it was not impossible, Yu Huiyin wrote a group of names on a piece of paper, alongside their addresses.

Xie Jingyu accepted it and quickly sent a picture of the paper to Assistant Song. He had to check their background, and if they were okay, he would take them into his group of people. If they were questionable, then he would just say that he did his best.

Yu Huiyin was also aware that if they had a questionable background, then Xie Jingyu would never accept them, but the fact that he even considered them was already amazing.

"Oh right," she suddenly thought of something she had to tell him, "tomorrow I need to go to the racing tracks. A few of the people I wish to recruit are there, and I do not have their contact information."

"Bring Hui Liqiang," Xie Jingyu was frowning. He was not happy with Yu Huiyin racing, nor was he happy whenever he thought of her fighting, but he understood that he could not forbid her to do this. If he did, she would revolt against him.

Yu Huiyin grinned and nodded her head in approval. She knew that after beating that guy last time, she was likely to be in an unfavorable position when she went this time.

Having Hui Liqiang with her would naturally solve that problem.

Yu Huiyin was happy that Xie Jingyu was not too clingy, and that he was allowing her freedom even though she was his contract wife.

Little did she know that Xie Jingyu was really against it, but dared not voice his objection just yet. Slowly he would make her stop racing and fighting so that she did not put herself in danger.

But Xie Jingyu was quite relieved that Yu Huiyin was not aware of his dark background, and now that he knew this, he decided to head to the study to work a bit.

He had quite a few doc.u.ments that needed attention, but he could not focus on them earlier. Now it should be better since he knew Yu Huiyin was present.

Time flowed by like water, and soon it was night. Yu Huiyin had tried calling Xie Jingyu down to eat, but he was too busy to eat, and thus she did not urge him.

But when she was about to go to sleep, she was suddenly aware that Xie Jingyu was still working and that he had not eaten anything. Had he even had lunch?

Frowning, she went to the kitchen. The chef had already left, so she began cooking a simple portion congee since she feared that he had not eaten all day. He would need something that would soothe his stomach.
