Mu Yun Shang's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, wanting to get up and leave, but the proprietress still held onto his collar tightly. She leaned up slightly, pressing against his ear and whispered softly, "But, I don't want others to protect me... Mr. Mu, will you protect me? Hmm?"

The proprietress's voice was soft and gentle, whispering in his ear like a sweet breeze, making Mu Yun Shang feel like half his body was numb.

If my legs weren't braced against that chair, they would have buckled right now.

It's really... a gentle knife, a hero's tomb!

"The landlady is joking, I... I don't have the ability to protect you? I'm just an actor."

Mu Yun Shang finished his words, as if he had exhausted all of his energy.

The proprietress raised an eyebrow, chuckled softly, pushed past Mu Yunshang, then stood up and walked away.

Mu Yun Shang didn't react for a moment, watching the proprietress's back disappear from before him in an instant, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

Did his words just upset the landlady?

Did the proprietress think she was being too insensitive and so she left?

She must be angry! What should I do? Should I coax her?

Hey? That's not right!

They have nothing to do with each other!

Why is he so flustered and panicked?

What are you coaxing?

What does it have to do with him?

Besides, he wasn't wrong!

This thing isn't really his area of expertise, is it?! Asking him to protect someone? That's impossible! Doesn't he want to keep acting anymore?

Mu Yun Shang felt as if he were split into multiple personalities at this moment, with countless thoughts battling each other incessantly in his mind!

Mu Yunshang stood at the front desk for a while before he couldn't help but take out his phone and dial a number: "Hello, big brother?"

"Hmm?"

"I have something I'd like to ask you for help with."

"Said."

"Well, could you help me find some..."

The next morning, the proprietress got word that a group of burly men had arrived at the hotel!

"Ma'am, you better come see this! These people are frightening. They arrived early and are blocking the entrance, saying they want to see you!"

The hotel staff had never seen anything like it, they were terrified. When they found the proprietress, her voice was still trembling with panic.

The proprietress, still in a white silk slip dress, heard the waiter and simply threw on a coat before walking out. "Have a look," she said.

As we reached the main entrance, as expected, a line of tall, muscular men in suits stood guard at the entrance!

These people, upon seeing the proprietress, rushed towards her all at once and asked, "Are you the owner of this hotel?"

"Huh? I am, you are..." The proprietress narrowed her eyes, a flash of light passing through them, as if she were ready to strike anyone who dared to cause trouble.

Those burly men looked at each other, then simultaneously bowed to the proprietress and shouted, "Boss, we are the security guards you hired. From now on, the safety of this hotel and your personal safety are entrusted to us!"

"Huh?"

Now, it was the boss's turn to be dumbfounded.

What's going on?

"Security?"

"Yes!"

"I don't have money to pay you guys." The proprietress said with a wry smile.

"Don't worry, boss, someone will pay us. "

"Is anyone there? Who is it?"

The proprietress was taken aback, lost in thought.

This was still the first good person she had met who did good deeds without leaving a name.

The proprietress immediately became curious.

"This...we don't know, we were only hired. Who hired us, we didn't ask."

The burly man scratched his head and explained innocently.

Just at this moment, Mu Yun Shang happened to come down from the building, preparing to go to the film set. Seeing his boss and them, he was stunned for a moment, hurriedly averted his eyes in a flustered manner, trying to slip away unnoticed.

The talent had only taken two steps when the boss's wife called out to him.

"Mr. Mu, what do you mean by this?"

Mu Yunshang heard this, turned his head to look at the proprietress, innocently blinked his eyes, and said, "What is the proprietress asking? I don't know."

The proprietress chuckled lightly, then walked directly to Mu Yunshang's side, looking up at him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. "So, Mr. Mu doesn't want to admit that these people were sent by you, is that right?"

"Huh? I didn't. Who are you talking about? It wasn't me, why would I look for anyone?"

Mu Yun Shang directly denied with an N chain, his eyes full of innocence and naivety.

“Is that so? I just mentioned to Mr. Mu yesterday that I wanted him to be my bodyguard. After Mr. Mu refused me, he felt guilty and then found someone else to protect me. What’s this about? Doing good deeds anonymously? Or…”

The proprietress paused her words, then extended her index finger and tapped lightly on Mu Yun Shang's chest. "Or perhaps," she continued, "Mr. Mu, you are actually in love with me? Is this a form of courtship?"

When Mu Yun Shang heard the boss's words, his eyes widened in shock!

He desperately wanted to deny it, but when he met the proprietress's captivating gaze, his heart skipped a beat.

When trying to deny it, the words just wouldn't come out!

He actually didn't know why, but after seeing the boss lady turn and leave yesterday, he was afraid that the boss lady was really angry with him. So he couldn't control himself and called his big brother to ask him to find some mercenaries to protect the boss lady.

Last night, Mu Yun Shang was also telling himself that he did this only because he was worried about the boss lady's personal safety as a woman. After all, they knew each other, and they were considered friends, weren't they?

But these thoughts, when met with the gaze of the boss's wife, suddenly felt like they couldn't be uttered.

What are you worrying about, friend?

What are you worried about girls' safety?

If he didn't have other thoughts, how could he possibly seek help from his eldest brother because of this woman?

Such a fuss...

He, what on earth for?

"Sorry, I didn't mean it. I just... wanted to apologize to you. What I said yesterday upset you, and we're friends after all, so..."

"Friend? Mr. Mu, if we're only friends, you wouldn't need to hire so many bodyguards for me, would you? Don't you think your actions are a bit excessive?"

The proprietress's question left Mu Yunshang feeling flustered and confused at this moment.

He was also a bit unsure of his own thoughts, and for a moment he could only look at the proprietress, his eyes lost.

The proprietress couldn't help but laugh when she saw Mu Yun Shang's dazed and foolish appearance at this moment.

She reached out and hooked her fingers around Mu Yun Shang's neck, then tiptoed up and kissed his face. She retracted her earlier aggressive attitude and smiled softly, "Alright, I know now, thank you... my good friend."
