Chapter 350: Bodyguards

"Oh? Is that so?" Cynthia felt a bit suspicious after hearing May’s words.

"Of course, and Brother Ash even saved me. If it weren't for Brother Ash, I would have died long ago!" May said.

"Oh! I see!" Cynthia said, looking thoughtful.

"Yeah! Brother Ash is super amazing, and he’s a very good person, even though he talks a bit too much sometimes," May added.

"Is that so! I see! Let’s go play outside! Don't be lazy here," Cynthia said with a smile.

"Okay!" May agreed happily.

So Cynthia took May’s little hand and went outside.

……

Time quickly reached 12:00 noon, and Cynthia and May had prepared a sumptuous lunch.

"Ding-dong~~" Just then, the doorbell rang.

"It must be Brother and the others back." May said, going to open the door.

As soon as May opened the door, she saw a group of bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses, with a luxury car parked nearby.

May asked, a bit strangely: "Who are you looking for?"

"Little May, I am a bodyguard sent by your father to take care of you. My name is Li Hu. Please take care of me from now on!" the lead bodyguard said to May.

"Uh! Our family doesn't have the habit of hiring bodyguards. Thank you for your kindness, please leave," May politely refused.

"Little May, if you don't take us in, we can only guard the stairwell. Don't worry, we will be mindful of our words and actions and won't affect your work, but you must let us stay because we have nowhere to live," Li Hu continued.

"So you want to mooch off us?" Cynthia said, coming down from the second floor.

"Yes! We just want to find a stable place to stay," Li Hu replied.

"May, open the door! Let them in," Cynthia said flatly.

"Oh!" May went to open the door after hearing Cynthia’s instruction.

"Please come in!" May said to the bodyguards.

The bodyguards walked into the house one after another and stood in two neat rows.

"May, you guys go cook first!" Ash said to May.

"Mm! Okay, Brother Ash, I’ll be right there," May said obediently.

After saying that, she ran to the kitchen.

"Ash, who are they?" Misty immediately greeted Ash as he walked into the living room.

"Oh! They are my bodyguards. They will be staying here temporarily from now on. They are all retired soldiers," Ash explained.

"Ah! And you?" Misty asked, puzzled.

"Uh, I will also occasionally live here. Actually, I’m a chef," Ash said helplessly.

"A chef?" Misty asked, shocked.

"Mm! That’s right," Ash nodded.

"Oh! I see!" Misty said, suddenly enlightened.

"Hehe! Right, these are some fruits I brought back." Ash took out two bags of cherries and handed them to Misty.

"Wow, that’s great! Where did you buy these?" Misty asked, surprised.

"I bought them at the supermarket," Ash replied.

"Mm! Thank you, Brother Ash," Misty said, taking the cherries gratefully.

"It’s nothing," Ash waved his hand.

"Let’s start eating then!" Cynthia said, bringing out the dishes.

"Mm! Time to eat." May said excitedly.

"Mm! Let’s eat!" Ash said.

"Okay! Let’s eat!" Cynthia said with a smile.

…….. CHAPTER 751

At 10:50, the three of them had prepared breakfast and were ready to eat when the doorbell suddenly rang.

"Ding-dong! Ding-dong! Ding-dong!"

"Who is it? Coming to knock so early!" May muttered.

"I’ll go open the door!" Ash stood up and said.

Ash went to the door and observed the situation outside through the peephole. A look of astonishment immediately appeared on his face, and then he pressed the unlock button.

"Ash, what are you doing? Why aren't you opening the door yet?" May urged.

"Oh, okay." Ash said with an awkward smile.

Then Ash opened the door.

"Ash, I’ve come to mooch a meal, you don't mind, right?" Cynthia said with a smile.

"I don't mind, of course I don't mind," Ash shook his head hurriedly.

"That’s good! May, I’m hungry, can we eat now?" Cynthia said to May.

"Mm-hmm! We can, come on in," May greeted happily.

"Sure thing!" Cynthia replied.

Afterward, Cynthia, Ash, May, and Misty sat around the dining table and had a sumptuous breakfast.

After eating, Ash cleared the dishes, put them in the kitchen, walked out, sat down in the living room, and chatted with May.

Ash took a pack of cigarettes out of the TV cabinet drawer.

"Huh, Brother Ash, what are you doing?" May looked curiously at the cigarettes in Ash’s hand.

"Uh! Nothing, May, you go play, I’m a bit sleepy." Ash touched his head awkwardly, put the cigarette pack into his pocket, and said.

"Alright then, Brother-in-law, you go to sleep first! I’m going to study, bye-bye!" May said.

"Mm-hmm! Go ahead! Remember to study hard," Ash urged.

"I know, Brother-in-law!" May said with a giggle.

Afterward, May skipped away from the sofa and returned to her bedroom to study English.

…………

"Hmm, I should be able to get a 100 on the class exam this time! After all, my grades have always been pretty good." Ash muttered to himself, looking at the English test paper.

"Sigh! Forget it, since I’ve decided to go back, I must study hard, otherwise how will I support Mom when I go back?" Ash sighed and said.

Afterward, Ash continued to bury his head in the miserable task of reviewing English vocabulary.

Time flew by, and it was Saturday. Ash woke up early that day.

"I’m going home today, and there’s still a lot of stuff I haven't packed!" Ash muttered to himself.

"Right! Didn't Mom buy me a pile of clothes?" Ash suddenly remembered.

"Right, and Dad also left me a big bag of money. I’ll definitely spend it all when I go home this time." Ash thought helplessly.

"Sigh! Forget it, I won't worry about it. Anyway, it’s going to be spent sooner or later," Ash said helplessly. CHAPTER 752

After changing his shoes, Ash walked down the stairs and headed toward the home of Cynthia and May.

Arriving at Cynthia’s door, Ash knocked.

"Who is it?" Cynthia’s voice came from inside.

"Mom! It’s me! Ash!" Ash replied.

A moment later, the door opened. Cynthia was dressed neatly, looking at Ash with a flushed face.

"Ash, how did you sleep last night?" Cynthia asked with concern.

"Ash! You’re being cheeky again, hurry up and go wake your sister and father!" Cynthia said, feigning anger.

"I know! I’ll go wake them up right now!" Ash replied obediently.

Afterward, Ash walked into May’s room and knocked on the door.

"May, May!" Ash called out. CHAPTER 753
