Ms. CEO is His Bodyguard

Wang Rouxi was scared that Xia Jiannan would see the side of her that she had painstakingly tried to hide from others.

The side of her that longed for someone else's affection...

It should be known that this Wang 'heiress' did not actually lived an extravagant and luxurious life for the past twenty-five years.

On the contrary, her childhood and adolescence were filled with horrifying experiences which involved bloodshed, betrayals and death.

For almost twenty years, starting from the time when she could already hold a gun using her small and frail hands, she was used like a tool for taking other people's lives.

At such a young age of five, instead of playing in the mud like the other kids at her age, her hands were already tainted with blood.

The blood of 'their' enemies as well as her kin.

She was a killing machine.

'Lu Xi', this was her code name.

She would not even bat an eyelid and show any mercy to her targets.

Once you are on her target list, you better start praying to the gods for the retribution of your sins.

Growing up without feeling the warmth of love from her parents, Wang Rouxi became colder and colder as the years passed by.

The only thing that kept her sense of humanity was the kindness shown to her by Elder Xin.

However, 'they' forced her to kill the only person she ever cared about.

The person who taught her how to love...

The person who taught her how to laugh..

The person who taught her how to be a human...

The person who would always call her Xiao Xi Xi once she got home...

She repayed her kindness with enmity. It was in her own hands that Elder Xin died.

But even in Elder Xin's deathbed, it was still her well-being that the elder cared about.

Before she closed her eyes for her eternal rest, Elder Xin revealed the greatest secret that she had been keeping all along, "You are the eldest child of Wang Huozhen and Shi Linlang!"

. . .

All the things that had happened in the past suddenly came crushing down on her.

Up until now, she had never really fully recovered from the severe emotional and psychological traumas she suffered during her childhood.

Because 'they' treated her as a weapon, 'they' would mercilessly send her to dangerous missions, one after another.

So, it had become a reflex for her to put an emotionless mask every time she left home to carry out these missions.

And ever since Elder Xin was gone, it was only when she's at home would Wang Rouxi find solace.

It was only when she was inside her home would she show the real her.

The Wang Rouxi that was naive and innocent yet experienced and wise.

This explains why she had that cold demeanor when faced with others outside and had a total opposite disposition when she was at home.

It was her defense mechanism to be cold to other people in fear that what happened to Elder Xin would happen again.

It's just that, when it comes to Xia Jiannan...

Wang Rouxi's grip on the bottle of water unconsciously tightened, her eyes stilled as she drew a deep breath.

"Screw this."

Just as she was about to open the door, a slight movement from her right side caught her attention.

"Lu Sha?" Wang Rouxi was not sure, but it could only be him.

A black shadow who had been guarding this place appeared before Wang Rouxi, with one knee on the ground.

"My Lord." The shadow's eyes were casted on the ground, but there was worry as well as excitement in them that Wang Rouxi could not see.

That shadow was Lu Sha, Wang Rouxi's right hand man.

Lu Sha was taken in by Wang Rouxi ten years ago, and he had pledged to give his life to her.

Seeing her for the first time after two years, Lu Sha felt alive again. He had already regarded Wang Rouxi as his whole life.

For him, there were only two kinds of people in the world: Wang Rouxi and everybody else.

That was why when he saw Wang Rouxi brought in some man, Lu Sha found it hard to stay calm as no one, aside from himself, had the privilege to be with his Lordship.

Wang Rouxi stared at the person, who had stayed with her for almost a decade now, with eyes filled with gratefulness.

If Lu Sha was not there, she would probably lost all semblance of being a human being.

It was all thanks to this little brother of hers that she was able to be somewhat normal.

"Lu Sha, I'm happy to see you again!"
