Ms. CEO is His Bodyguard - Chapter 56

Wang Xinji watched with bated breath as Wang Rouxi’s brows furrowed, her heart on a rollercoaster ride. She could not stop thinking about what she did earlier to their guest.

“Thank you for the offer, Mr. and Mrs. Wang.” Wang Rouxi flashed an apologetic smile. “However, I may need to decline as I remembered that I have a lunch appointment scheduled today. I apologize. It is our very first meeting but I can’t join you for a meal.”

When she heard that, the hopeful Wang Xinji instantly became deflated.

Wang Xinji actually wanted to take this chance to make up for what she did to Wang Rouxi by preparing the food. But now that Wang Rouxi declined, she could not continue on with her plan.

Master Wang saw his little girl’s slumped shoulders from the corner of his eye and thought that she was unhappy because Wang Rouxi could not join them.

It was important to note that Master Wang had not witnessed Wang Xinji’s shenanigans, thus he had come up with such conclusion.

As a father, he did not want to see his lovely daughter sad. Whenever he did, it felt like there were countless thorns prickling, clawing at his heart.

‘What can I do to cheer my little Xinji up?’ Master Wang silently mused to himself. ‘Aha! Why don’t I invite Ms. Rouxi for dinner?’

But before he could say anything, Wang Rouxi beat him to it, “To convey my sincerity, I would like to invite you all for dinner tomorrow. Would that be fine with you?”

Master Wang swept a glance at his daughter and his wife before nodding his head ‘yes’.

It wouldn’t make much of a difference if he were the one to invite or if it was Ms. Rouxi, right?

The most important thing was that Wang Xinji would not be unhappy anymore.

Wang Rouxi looked at the family of three in front of her with an undescribable smile plastered on her face.

“It’s settled then. Let us see each other tomorrow evening.”

Wang Rouxi was about to leave but she suddenly stopped in her tracks amidst the confusion of her ‘family’.

The three people surnamed Wang saw Wang Rouxi turned to Secretary Sun to retrieve a gift bag. “Here is a small gift I asked Secretary Sun to prepare for our first meeting. I hope you like it.”

Madam Wang absentmindedly reached out to get the bag Wang Rouxi held out in front of her and mumbled out a faint, “Thank you!”

With that, Wang Rouxi left the Wang Residence, leaving Secretary Sun behind to take care of the things needed to be done.

. . .

Back at the front gates.

The two Northern Sky Palace guards, Wei Shi and Brother Jing, returned to their posts in a trance.

“Don’t you feel like that goddess is quite familiar?”

She looked extremely familiar though. They felt like they had seen her before, but they could not just put their finger on it.

Suddenly, the taller one between the two guards yelped in surprise. He seemed to have recognized the beauty.

“Lady Xinji..?”

Hearing his partner mentioned the name of a famous female celebrity, the other guard did a double take.

Sure enough! That alluring woman was Wang Xinji, the most popular female artiste of the year!

But the two guards were still skeptical about this woman’s identity.

From what they knew, Lady Xinji of the Wang Family had a long jet-black hair. She was not blonde.

However, the resemblance was just too uncanny ! It’s hard to tell the difference…

As they were deep in their thoughts, they did not notice that another car had pulled to a stop right next to them.

Honk!

They immediately snapped back to their senses and went to greet…

“Lady Xinji!!” Wei Shi and Brother Jing exclaimed in unison.

Wang Xinji saluted the guards and flashed a million dollar smile. “Good morning!”

After Wang Xinji left, the two guards shared a look and saw the incredulity in each other’s eyes.

“Maybe the goddess is a relative of Lady Xinji?”

“There’s a high probability that she’s her twin.”

As they were busy speculating the relationship between the blonde goddess and Lady Xinji, the very same car of the goddess left through the gates, turning into a black blur as it drove off into the distance.
