Chapter 398: Dream On!
Su Zi smiled faintly at Ye Guan, and she felt warm both on the outside and inside.
The car was ready, and they would be accompanied by ten bodyguards. The Su Family was extremely concerned about Su Zi\'s safety, so they didn\'t hold back to ensure the latter\'s safety.
Ye Guan and Su Zi got into the car, and the car started moving to the nearest Boundless Club. Ye Guan looked outside with great interest. The scenery outside was riddled with skyscrapers, and the streets were brightly lit. It was a scene one couldn\'t find anywhere in the Guanxuan Universe.
Ye Guan suddenly felt a breeze.
Su Zi had leaned on his shoulder, and Ye Guan heard Su Zi\'s gentle snoring.
Ye Guan glanced at Su Zi, convinced that she was exhausted. While he had spent the afternoon reading in the office, Su Zi had been moving about busily the entire time. She didn\'t even take a break to drink water.
Ye Guan sighed inwardly. Su Zi was also going through a tough time, just like him.
Others could only see the prestige he possessed as the King of the Guanxuan Universe, but in reality, he had a ton of issues to handle as the King of the Guanxan Universe.
Ye Guan had only experienced two days of peace from the time he became the King of the Guanxuan Universe until now. Needless to say, Ye Guan was incredibly exhausted as well.
An hour later, the car finally stopped. Su Zi was still asleep, but the driver didn\'t dare to wake her up and looked at Ye Guan. Ye Guan was officially her bodyguard, but it had long become clear to everyone that he had a unique relationship with Su Zi.
Ye Guan smiled slightly and signaled to the driver to wait.
The driver nodded and walked away.
Half an hour later, Su Zi opened her eyes slowly. She quickly sat up straight upon realizing that she had been leaning on Ye Guan\'s shoulder. Her cheeks were flushed slightly as she muttered, "Sorry, I fell asleep."
Ye Guan nodded, smiling. "I didn\'t want to disturb you because you seemed tired."
Su Zi nodded, but Ye Guan\'s words made her realize something. She pulled out her phone, and her expression changed as she exclaimed, "Oh, no. We\'re late! Let\'s go!"
Su Zi pulled Ye Guan out of the car and ran to a grand building.
The building was extremely luxurious and imposing. There were thirty-two stone pillars in front of the entrance. The pillars reach a height of about ten meters, exuding an unparalleled grandeur, and there were thirty men in suits standing before the entrance to the grand building.
Su Zi led Ye Guan to the entrance. A woman in her thirties came forward to greet them.
"Miss Su..." she greeted.
Su Zi asked, "Are my guests here?"
The woman quickly replied, "They arrived half an hour ago."
Su Zi went silent and pulled Ye Guan away, but the two were stunned speechless upon entering the building. Twenty women were standing in a row before them. Each and every single one of them was clad in a revealing long dress that accentuated their tall and slender figures. Moreover, their long dress exposed a generous amount of their skin in certain areas, making them more amorous than pristine.
These women could easily be classified as goddess-level beauties.
The group of women bowed deeply and exclaimed, "Hello, boss!"
Ye Guan\'s expression stiffened. Damn it! The Boundless Master really knows how to have fun.
Su Zi\'s face turned frosty as she unceremoniously pulled Ye Guan away.
The beautiful ladies laughed while staring at Ye Guan getting dragged away somewhere.
"What a handsome little guy..." someone said, eliciting another peal of laughter from the other ladies. These ladies had never been afraid of talking frankly, and they were always capable of making any conversation take a dirty turn.
Listening to them alone was enough to make Su Zi feel quite annoyed.
Meanwhile, Ye Guan was shocked. The ladies here were a lot bolder than the ladies of the Guanxuan Universe.
A beautiful woman led Ye Guan and Su Zi through the hallways. Ye Guan curiously looked around. The place was both splendid and opulent, resembling the grand halls of palaces. However, the walls were adorned with rather suggestive murals.
Ye Guan and Su Zi soon arrived at a luxurious private room. Ye Guan saw two women inside the private room. One of them looked to be about thirty years old, and she was wearing a dark red low-cut evening gown that showcased her tantalizing cleavage.
The woman\'s facial features were perfect, with nary a single flaw. Her eyes were particularly striking, as they seemed capable of piercing the hearts of just about anyone, regardless of gender, which made it difficult to maintain eye contact with her.
A domineering seductress! Ye Guan inwardly lampooned upon seeing the woman. A young woman was sitting next to her, and she seemed to be around fifteen to sixteen years old. Her attire was rather flamboyant, and her auburn hair was particularly noteworthy. Overall, she was giving off a rebellious vibe.
She looked great, but her flamboyant fashion taste made Ye Guan deduct a few points.
Su Zi grinned upon seeing the beautiful woman wearing a low-cut evening gown.
She ran up to her and hugged the young woman. "It\'s been a while, Sister Yunman!"
Gu Yunman smiled before responding, "You\'re actually late today. What happened? This is unlike you."
Su Zi pulled Gu Yunman to sit before saying, "I\'m really sorry, I fell asleep in the car."
Gu Yunman glanced at the woman standing by the door. She was the same woman who had led Ye Guan and Su Zi to the private room.
"Manager Mo, serve the dishes," said Gu Yunman.
"Sure," Manager Mo replied before leaving.
"Miss Su, I\'ll go and wait outside," Ye Guan said. Although he was eager to inquire about the author of the book, Seduced in the Sea of Desires, Su Zi had come here to discuss business.
It would be better to let her finish her business negotiations first before asking any questions. With that in mind, Ye Guan turned around to leave.
"Why are you trying to leave?" Su Zi asked, "Dinner is about to be served. Are you not hungry?"
Gu Yunman was slightly surprised to hear the concern in Su Zi\'s voice. She stared deeply at Ye Guan and asked, "Su Zi, is he your boyfriend?"
Su Zi\'s face turned a bit red at Gu Yunman\'s remark. She was about to deny it, but the word boyfriend had a different meaning in Ye Guan\'s personal dictionary, so Ye Guan might feel offended if she were to say that Ye Guan wasn\'t her boyfriend.
Su Zi suddenly found herself between a rock and a hard place.
Just then, Ye Guan suddenly said, "Miss Yunman, I\'m Miss Su\'s bodyguard!"
Bodyguard? Gu Yunman was surprised. She looked at Su Zi, and the latter nodded after a brief hesitation.
Su Zi made a sidelong glance at Ye Guan and thought, I haven\'t even said anything! Who are you to decide our relationship?!
Gu Yunman stared alternatingly between Su Zi and Ye Guan. She smiled knowingly, but she didn\'t say anything.
Meanwhile, the auburn-haired young woman looked at Ye Guan with contempt.
"So he\'s a watchdog..." she muttered. Her voice was so soft that neither Su Zi nor Gu Yunman heard her, but Ye Guan\'s sharp senses had picked up on her muttering. He stared at her and frowned, but he remained silent.
Soon, the dishes were served, and the table before them was filled with a variety of dishes from all over the world. Ye Guan had no idea of the dishes\' names, but one thing was for sure: they all looked sumptuous and delicious!
Ye Guan didn\'t dare to even act like he was leaving. He obediently sat next to Su Zi and started eating with relish.
Meanwhile, Su Zi and Gu Yunman reminisced about the old days with laughter. After talking for a while, Su Zi suddenly asked, "Sister Yunman, do you know the author of that book?"
Ye Guan placed down his chopsticks and focused on their conversation.
Gu Yunman was slightly startled. "What book?"
Su Zi’s face blushed as she muttered, "That book! You gave it to me, remember?"
"Ah, that book?" Gu Yunman’s lips curled slightly in a mischievous smile. "Why? Have you gotten so addicted to it that you want to read the other volumes?"
Su Zi shook her head and smiled. "No, I just want to ask if you know the author personally."
Gu Yunman shook her head. "Nope, I don\'t."
"Really?" Su Zi frowned.
Gu Yunman nodded and explained, "I bought it book on a pedestrian bridge in Yanjing."
A pedestrian bridge in Yanjing? Su Zi\'s frown deepened, and she glanced at Ye Guan beside her.
Ye Guan smiled faintly and said, "Let\'s go visit Yanjing when the time comes!"
"Sure." Su Zi nodded with a smile.
Gu Yunman glanced at Ye Guan for a moment before directing her gaze onto Su Zi.
"Is he really just your bodyguard?" Gu Yunman asked with a light smile.
Su Zi\'s face turned slightly red, and she hurriedly said, "L-let\'s drink."
Su ZI raised the glass in her hand and clinked glasses with Gu Yunman before drinking the wine in one gulp.
Gu Yunman cast a curious gaze at Ye Guan. Su Zi had always been reserved before other men, and it was all due to her family circumstances. However, Su Zi was acting strangely before Ye Guan.
Su Zi\'s face was as red as a tomato. A woman blushing before a man meant that there was something unusual going on between the two of them.
Ye Guan didn\'t think too much about it and focused on eating.
He found that the dishes in the Milky Way were much tastier than the dishes in the Guanxuan Universe. Of course, Ye Guan didn\'t really think that he would continue eating after returning to the Guanxuan Universe.
He was eating here out of necessity, as he would starve to death if he were to choose not to eat.
Su Zi and Gu Yunman drank more and more wine as they talked about a variety of topics while occasionally laughing. Su Zi\'s flushed face had gotten even redder as she drank more wine.
Meanwhile, Ye Guan didn\'t bother with the two and continued eating with relish.
Just then, the auburn-haired young woman across from Ye Guan exclaimed, "Hey!"
Ye Guan looked up and found the auburn-haired young woman staring at him with a frown.
"Have you never eaten a meal throughout your entire life?" asked the auburn-haired young woman. Her voice sounded so low that only Ye Guan could hear the former\'s question.
Ye Guan calmly replied, "I\'m just extremely hungry."
The auburn-haired young woman stared intently at Ye Guan and asked, "Are you really a bodyguard?"
Ye Guan nodded without saying anything.
The auburn-haired young woman continued. "Don\'t you know that bodyguards aren\'t allowed to eat at the table? Bodyguards are like servants, and since when can servants eat at the table with their masters?"
Ye Guan stared at the auburn-haired young woman with some confusion. "Miss, we\'re strangers. How come you harbor such hostility toward me?"
"I just don\'t like your attitude." the auburn-haired young woman sneered, "Is that reason good enough?"
"Sure," Ye Guan said indifferently, "You\'re not the first one to say that, so I don\'t mind."
Ye Guan had always been the type of person to repay one\'s gesture in kind. When treated with respect, he would treat the other party with an even greater respect; treat him with resentment, and he would treat the other party with an even greater resentment.
Ye Guan would never respect those disrespectful to him, which was why he didn\'t bother indulging the auburn-haired young woman\'s antics. He wasn\'t her father, so why would he do that for her?
The auburn-haired young woman\'s eyes narrowed as she said, "Dare to go outside?"
"Sure." Ye Guan nodded and stood up.
The auburn-haired young woman followed him outside.
Gu Yunman frowned.
Su Zi turned to Gu Yunman and asked, "Who was that girl?"
Gu Yunman said in a low voice, "She\'s my niece. She\'s not exactly the kindest girl out there. Her temper is bad, and she often gets into fights. She insisted on coming along, so I had no choice but to bring her with me.
"Today, I haven\'t allowed her to leave my side, so she has been in a bad mood since early in the morning."
"Oh no..." Su Zi’s expression changed, and she exclaimed, "We have to go outside! Hurry!"
Su Zi stood up and ran outside, leaving a dumbstruck Gu Yunman behind.
Ye Guan had just walked outside when the auburn-haired young woman swung her leg at Ye Guan\'s shin.
Ye Guan frowned and grabbed the auburn-haired young woman\'s leg with his left hand.
The auburn-haired young woman was shocked. She didn\'t expect that Ye Guan would be able to respond to her attack. Just as she came to her senses, Ye Guan turned and kicked her in the stomach.
Bam!
The auburn-haired young woman was sent flying a few meters away. She rolled until she struck a wall, and when she was about to stand up, Ye Guan was already in front of her. Ye Guan stepped on her right hand.
Crack!
A crisp noise echoed as Ye Guan crushed all five fingers of her right hand!
"AAAHHH!" The auburn-haired young woman let loose a miserable cry. She glared at Ye Guan and cursed, "You bastaaard! I\'m going to kill you! I\'m going to kill you!"
Ye Guan\'s eyes narrowed. He was about to make another move, but he stopped upon seeing Gu Yunman and Su Zi. The expressions of the two ladies changed drastically upon seeing the sight before them.
The auburn-haired young woman\'s bodyguards finally arrived at the scene, and they immediately aimed their guns at Ye Guan.
"Let go of her!" shouted one of them.
The auburn-haired young woman glared at the bodyguards. "Shoot him! Hurry and shoot him! Kill—"
Ye Guan waved his sleeve, sending chopsticks flying toward the bodyguards. The chopsticks pierced the necks of the bodyguards, and they collapsed to the ground.
Gu Yunman’s pupils constricted.
The auburn-haired young woman was stupefied. Her bodyguards were dead, and they were killed instantly at the same time!
The auburn-haired young woman was finally terrified.
Ye Guan\'s eyes were full of killing intent as she glared at the auburn-haired young woman. Gu Yunman noticed that and hurriedly shouted, "Young Master Ye, please have mercy—"
"Dream on!" Ye Guan interrupted Gu Yunman with a glare. He then aimed the chopstick in his hand at the auburn-haired young woman’s forehead and got ready to throw it.
