The Beautiful CEO's Close Bodyguard
Chapter 1534 - 1516
The department Nangong Yang belongs to is the coldest because the mainstream of the Huangpu Family is still in biological research. The game development was only because of Huang Puchen’s hobby and unexpectedly grew big.
Businessmen, naturally, seize opportunities promptly when they discover them, and thus, it got done.
What Nangong Yang didn’t expect was that by afternoon, they’d really be sent to the mall, and it was to a pharmacy!
She stood at the entrance, angrily complaining, when suddenly she felt a weight on her shoulder and a familiar voice sounded in her ear, "Nangong Yang, what are you doing here!"
Nangong Yang turned her head to see Han Wanwan, wrapped like a dumpling, standing behind her, glancing around before pulling Nangong Yang to a corner.
"Han Wanwan, what are you doing? Why are you dressed like this?"
"Do me a favor."
Han Wanwan lowered her voice and said to her, "Help me buy something from the pharmacy. You know my identity, right? If people find out I’m buying that kind of stuff, it’ll definitely spark rumors again."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Yang’s mind immediately went astray, "Han Wanwan, don’t tell me you’re..."
As she spoke, her gaze shifted to Han Wanwan’s belly, "Are you pregnant? Who’s the father? Is it the guy you were rumored to be involved with?"
Nangong Yang and Han Wanwan have always been good friends. Previously, rumors about Han Wanwan and Chu Ge were rampant, and throughout, that fellow called Chu Ge never appeared, which made her quite angry.
But what she didn’t know was that Han Wanwan had already clarified the rumors. Nangong Yang has been busy with work lately and rarely pays attention to the news.
Mentioning Chu Ge, Han Wanwan remembered her previous rejection by Chu Ge for acting, a resentment surged in her heart, "What are you talking about! I want you to help me buy Feminine Cleanser! I have an inflammation down there! Please hurry, I feel awful."
Nangong Yang was dumbstruck. She walked into the pharmacy and asked the clerk for a bottle of Feminine Cleanser, then went to the counter. Ahead of her stood a casually dressed man, not particularly tall, but well-built, clearly someone who works out regularly.
She had no resistance to guys with good builds, so she couldn’t help but glance twice. At that glance, a flame of anger rose in her heart—it was the rotten guy Chu Ge, who was rumored to be involved with Han Wanwan!
Chu Ge placed his throat lozenges at the checkout counter, reached into his pocket for his wallet, and asked the clerk, "How much is it?"
"Twelve yuan eighty cents."
Chu Ge opened his wallet but found only a one-yuan note and a fifty-cent note... not even two yuan in total.
The clerk looked at him, he awkwardly coughed, rummaging his pockets, which were also embarrassingly empty.
His outfit was from when he arrived in this dimension. Although the expenses were charged to the original Chu Ge, he hadn’t spent less himself, and unbeknownst to him, his wallet was cleaned out.
The clerk smiled, "You can also use card payments. WeChat and Alipay scans are available."
Chu Ge reached into his pocket. This phone wasn’t his, and he had no idea what the payment password was.
Just as he was about to say he’d leave the throat lozenges, from beside him came a voice, "I’ll pay for it."
Chu Ge turned to look at Nangong Yang. Although this woman was quite attractive, she was still a few notches below Mu Bingtong.
Nangong Yang paid for him with a slight smile, "Don’t look at me with that weird expression, you don’t know me. Let me introduce myself; I’m Han Wanwan’s friend, Nangong Yang."
She blinked at Chu Ge and said, "I suppose you know Han Wanwan, right?"
Or rather, you could say you’re quite familiar.
Chu Ge slightly shook his head, dropped the words "I don’t know her," and turned to leave, without taking the throat lozenges from the counter.
He’s not accustomed to having women pay for him.
Nangong Yang noticed not only did he not thank her, he left those three words behind with indifference, which only made her more exasperated. She quickly stepped up and blocked his path, stating, "Chu Ge! I’ve never dealt with you, but from what you’ve done to Wanwan, you’re a person without responsibility!"
Chu Ge looked at Nangong Yang in bewilderment, his cold face carrying a chill, "Have you said enough?"
Nangong Yang tightened her lips, this man was just like Huang Puchen! Pretending to be something he’s not!
"I haven’t said enough! You should give an explanation for the misery you brought to Wanwan, shouldn’t you?"
Nangong Yang glared at Chu Ge, her neck stiffened, in disbelief of his shamelessness. He even tried to deny the incident!
In her fury, she took out her phone, scrolled to a previously forwarded link, opened it and waved it before Chu Ge’s eyes, "It’s all clearly written here. Do you know how hard it was for Wanwan to reach this point, only for you to ruin it so easily?"
Chu Ge squinted his eyes, though he didn’t quite understand what she meant, he got who she was referring to.
"What’s this got to do with me?" he wasn’t familiar with her! It’s not him familiar, it’s Chu Ge of this dimension.
Nangong Yang was beyond enraged, she couldn’t find words to describe Chu Ge’s shamelessness, her cheeks flushed red.
In the corner, Han Wanwan anxiously awaited. She once had to soak in water frequently for film shoots. Unfortunately, once the water was unclean, she got a bizarre gynecological illness from a swimming scene. She never told anyone about it, not even her agent. Whenever it acted up, she’d ask someone to buy Feminine Cleanser, a common women’s product, so no one would suspect.
But recently, her news died down, and a pharmacy isn’t like a mall where you can wander freely. She feared being photographed again by people with intent, luckily running into Nangong Yang.
Left waiting, uncertain what Nangong Yang was doing, she cautiously peeked and saw Nangong Yang furious with hands on her hips standing there, and before her stood that man. Even if he turned to ashes, she’d recognize him!
"How is Nangong Yang chatting up Chu Ge!"
Han Wanwan approached in frustration, "Nangong Yang, what are you doing? I’ve been waiting ages!"
Nangong Yang saw Han Wanwan arriving, wrapped an arm around her waist, and said, "Wanwan! I found this scumbag for you!"
"What scumbag?" Han Wanwan was puzzled, "There’s nothing between us; we were just rumors, and they’ve been clarified, alright?"
Chu Ge had his hands in his pockets, looked coolly at Han Wanwan, "Oh, it really is you. I told you before, I won’t act in your plays. If you intend to use this stalking tactic to press me, I suggest you drop this idea! It’s really low!"
