Urban Ace Bodyguard

Chapter 1039 - 1105: Again, All Because of That Heartless Lin?

Tao Xia cried while her heart was filled with various contradictions.That damn beast is always like this, making you hate him to the core while also striking the most tender spot of your heart.

Tao Xia remembered that this guy's shooting skills were quite precise back in the army, always hitting the bullseye without missing, and he seemed equally accurate with a woman's heart.

"Good Xiaxia, tell me, who on earth made you angry?"

On the phone, Lin Hai's voice was very gentle, more like coaxing a little girl.

Tao Xia gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, feeling like she had to say some things or it would suffocate her for a lifetime.

"Lin Hai, have you ever considered respecting my feelings?"

"Xiaxia, I've always respected you. I know you've been wronged and suffered for the past seven years, I'm sorry." Lin Hai admitted his mistakes sincerely, even though he didn't know why Tao Xia was really angry with him.

But, can you reason with a woman?

First, never mind why, admitting the mistake and apologizing is never wrong.

"Beast Lin, then tell me, why did you have to say in front of me that you were taking a bath with another woman? Is that considering my feelings?"

Tao Xia said, her voice choked with sobs.

"Uh, it was just washing dates." Lin Hai felt a myriad of emotions inside, women are indeed emotional and changeable creatures, crying over washing dates?

"You still say 'just'?"

Tao Xia was trembling with anger.

"Damn, Xiaxia, it really was just washing dates, how about I leave some for you and bring them to you when I return to Huadu?"

"Fresh red dates, very good for blood."

Tao Xia was stunned.

Fresh red dates?

"What did you just say you were washing?" Tao Xia cautiously asked again.

"Washing dates, red dates, just bought them, it's hygienic to wash them before eating." Lin Hai was puzzled, what was wrong with Miss Xia today? The question was a bit odd.

"You mean, you're washing red dates?" Tao Xia asked uncertainly.

"Yeah, red dates." Lin Hai was utterly bewildered.

"You weren't taking a bath with a girl..."

On this side, Tao Xia was holding her phone in a daze, her whole body stunned.

After all this fuss, it seemed she misunderstood.

And Lin Hai was also mulling over Tao Xia's question, sensing something was off.

Suddenly, he slapped his forehead in realization, instantly understanding what Mayor Tao's through-the-gritted-teeth "bath" meant earlier.

"Old Tao, your ideas, ahem, as a servant of the people, I have to criticize you once again."

Lin Hai stretched his tone, no longer in the humble voice he used earlier.

"Uh..."

Tao Xia's pretty face turned red, her brain went crashing as she jabbered incoherently, not knowing how to face Lin Hai's questioning.

"I... I didn't mean it."

"Ahem, your 'not meaning it' has already left me heartbroken since 2016."

Lin Hai smacked his lips, took a bite of a date, making a crunchy sound, very sweet, tsk tsk.

"I really didn't mean it..."

Mayor Tao's voice had turned as soft as a mosquito.

"Ahem, luckily for me, I was once a King of Soldiers, or else I might not have caught your faint voice."

Someone quipped.

"I'm sorry..."

Tao Xia was filled with chaos and resentment inside.

"Hmph, am I the kind of person who flirts around? Am I that immoral? Besides, when I left Huadu, I was almost drained dry by you, you know that."

Lin Hai was all smug and boastful.

Usually, he couldn't provoke these bossy ladies and couldn't be tough; sometimes, he had to swallow his pride.

Finally, it was the time to show off.

"By the way, Old Tao, don't rush to admit your mistakes and apologize, did you call because you missed me?"

Lin Hai asked, smiling.

Tao Xia blushed and then remembered the initial purpose of her call.

"Lin Hai, something's happened with Linya Pharmaceutical, do you know about it?"

"Eh? How did you know that?"

"The sales point here in Huadu was also shut down, I only found out this morning, and I heard they're coming for you." Tao Xia asked with great concern.

"Yes, there's been some trouble over in Yanjing." Lin Hai sighed.

"Then why didn't you tell me?" Tao Xia asked angrily.

"Sigh, this kind of thing, it's for a man to bear himself, why tell you women? Do I really want you to worry about me?"

Lin Hai replied.

"You... you're always doing it for my good, but I always end up misunderstanding you, I'm sorry, Lin Hai."

Tao Xia showed a trace of a sweet smile, her little hand holding the phone seemed a little helpless as if she was at the limit of happiness.

However, she soon began to worry: "Lin Hai, should I try to think of a way?"

"This is an issue with the Drug Supervision General Administration, what can a little Huadu mayor do?"

"Anyway, my matters have always needed to be solved by myself, and all you need is to be protected by me."

Someone finished, patting his chest with a clanging sound.

"Lin Hai, you're so good." Tao Xia sweetly remarked.

"Hehe, that's a must."

Lin Hai was feeling very good about himself at the moment.

However, soon enough, he wasn't so happy.

"Lin Hai, Zhuge Jianguo just called, saying you've been listed as a fugitive." Ouyang Xiaoya's voice rang out.

After a pause, the CEO added: "You better think of a way soon, stop hiding in the rented room eating red dates. Also, the old man at the small supermarket downstairs just came up asking for money, saying you've delayed paying for the red dates you borrowed."

The CEO's voice wasn't particularly loud, but it was clear enough to be heard over the phone.

"Sh*t!"

Lin Hai instantly felt like puking blood from sorrow. Can't I just enjoy pretending for once?

The Queen Tao was originally still moved but suddenly heard Ouyang Xiaoya's words come through the phone, and a huge "black line" appeared on her forehead.

Damn beast, still trying to maintain a man's pride at this point.

Can't you survive without pretending?

"CEO, it's because of you that my pretension scored a 0." Lin Hai weakly complained.

Ouyang Xiaoya rolled her eyes fiercely, annoyed.

The damn beast had originally said he would find connections, but after squatting in the restroom for a few calls, he went downstairs to buy some food, and even borrowed a pack of red dates. Now he's a fugitive minute by minute, really don't know where he gets such optimism.

"Lin Hai, I suddenly remembered something, I'll hang up now."

Tao Xia suddenly hung up the phone.

She had decided to immediately ask Old Mr. Tao for help, determined to protect Lin Hai.

Soon, she dialed Old Mr. Tao's number.

"Xiaxia, have you been busy in Huadu lately?" Old Mr. Tao's gentle voice sounded.

"I have a favor to ask of you, sir." Tao Xia said in a coquettish tone.

"Oh? What favor? Let me guess, is it about Heartless Lin?" Old Mr. Tao teased.

"Oh, you old man, joking like this." Tao Xia was blushing furiously.

"Haha, I knew it was for him. About Linya Pharmaceutical, I've already sent someone to investigate. That kid called me first thing, huh, at least he's sensible." Old Mr. Tao answered calmly.

"Really? Thank you, Grandpa." Tao Xia immediately felt relieved.

"You, sigh, I don't know what's so good about that kid that has you infatuated." Old Mr. Tao sighed, his granddaughter called without a word of concern for him, only full of talk about Lin.

"Grandpa, I'll visit you when things aren't so hectic." Tao Xia said shyly.

"Alright, let's not talk anymore, the old man is quite busy lately as well, it seems Lin has offended someone with some influence." Old Mr. Tao finished, hanging up the phone, clearly worried about Lin Hai's situation as well.
