"I'm having bad luck?"

Chen Xiaoxia curled her lips with disdain: "Do you take me for those ignorant little girls who believe in horoscope fortunes?"

The bodyguards behind Chen Xiaoxia also laughed loudly upon hearing this.

"Mr. Xu, Sister Xiaoxia has never believed in these superstitious sayings."

"What's more, with Sister Xiaoxia's skills, fighting ten is no problem; last time we went to a bar, a man with no eyes came over to pick her up, and after Sister Xiaoxia refused, he kept pestering her, and ended up being slapped away by her."

One of the young bodyguards described it vividly to Xu Tian, and even reached out to gesture.

"That was a strong man nearly 1.9 meters tall, half a head taller than you, yet in Sister Xiaoxia's hands, he was a useless person with no strength to truss a chicken; whoever dares to provoke our Sister Xiaoxia is looking for their own death!"

"Being entangled in trouble or something, it simply doesn't exist for Sister Xiaoxia, okay?"

"Believe it or not."

Xu Tian spread his hands indifferently: "Anyway, I've already reminded you."

After speaking, he ignored the bodyguards' laughter and turned to find the hotel's back kitchen to cook porridge for Tang Bingyan.

Tang Bingyan didn't finish the meeting until 2:00 AM, drank two mouthfuls of porridge in a hurry, and fell asleep leaning against him.

Xu Tian was originally angry, but seeing the bruises under Tang Bingyan's eyelids, he felt some heartache.

In the end, he could only helplessly carry the sleeping person back to bed.

It's strange to say, Tang Bingyan had anxiety and neurasthenia, so even when she was extremely tired, she didn't fall asleep easily.

But by Xu Tian's side, she fell asleep quickly.

Xu Tian had repeatedly confirmed this phenomenon, so even when they were at the apartment, the two no longer slept in separate rooms.

Although they were still marking time and had no substantial development, Xu Tian could feel that Tang Bingyan was gradually letting down her guard.

Early the next morning, Xu Tian opened his eyes and saw that the bed next to him was empty.

Tang Bingyan was not in the bathroom; Xu Tian called twice, but no one answered.

It's estimated she went to find the senior management in the accompanying team this time to discuss the plan.

After Xu Tian quickly got up and finished washing, he planned to go to the hotel restaurant for breakfast, and then pack a few snacks that Tang Bingyan liked and send them to her himself.

This time, he saw Chen Xiaoxia and the bodyguards she led in the hotel restaurant again.

Today, those bodyguards looked at Chen Xiaoxia with strange eyes, just like looking at a giant panda in the zoo.

Xu Tian ignored those eyes and walked straight into the restaurant, and saw Chen Xiaoxia, who was radiating a "strangers keep out" aura, sitting at a table in the corner eating breakfast with a resentful face.

His steps paused, his gaze swept over Chen Xiaoxia's left cheek, and he found that there was actually a piece of medical gauze on it, and there were obvious traces of iodine disinfectant on the gauze.

Xu Tian thought of what he said to Chen Xiaoxia yesterday; it seems this woman didn't take his reminder to heart at all.

However, although Chen Xiaoxia had gauze on her face, her state was not bad, it should just be a superficial wound.

He took a slice of toast and two sausages in the buffet area, poured himself a cup of black coffee, and then sat down opposite Chen Xiaoxia with the plate, asking with interest while eating breakfast: "You are not skilled, you won't get hurt, right?"

Thinking of what happened last night, Chen Xiaoxia was furious.

After sending Tang Bingyan, who had finished the meeting, back to her room yesterday, she was a bit hungry, so she planned to go to the restaurant to see if there was any midnight snack.

It's just a pity that in such a small hotel, the restaurant didn't operate after nine o'clock.

She had no choice but to hold the instant noodles and ham sausage she scavenged from other bodyguards and return to her room to fill her stomach.

As a result, on the way back to her room, she happened to encounter two foreign children playing in the corridor, and one of them accidentally knocked over the vase beside them.

Seeing that the child was about to be hit on the head by the vase, she hurriedly threw away the things in her hand and rushed over to protect the little guy who was already stunned with fear in her arms, but hadn't expected to be scratched on the face by the vase fragments that shattered and splashed.

If this wasn't an accident, Chen Xiaoxia really thought it was that scumbag Xu Tian who held a grudge against her and deliberately messed with her, otherwise how could he have predicted so accurately that she would be unlucky recently?

"I reminded you to be careful long ago."

Xu Tian drank the bitter coffee like Chinese medicine in one breath with a smile, his gaze sweeping toward the other bodyguards around:

"My recent premonitions are very accurate, and I can also read a bit of palm fortune; does anyone have bad luck recently? If you are worried, you can come to me and take a look."

"Palm fortune?" The bodyguards looked at each other.

This is simply bragging without drafting!

And clearly Sister Xiaoxia was already on the verge of a volcanic eruption because of the injury on her face, yet Xu Tian insisted on bringing up the sore spot, this is simply looking for a beating.

These bodyguards trained by Chen Xiaoxia knew Chen Xiaoxia's temper very well, and unanimously believed that if Xu Tian weren't Tang Zong's man, I'm afraid Sister Xiaoxia would have already beaten his dog head.

A young man sitting beside Chen Xiaoxia estimated he had a crush on her, so he was full of hostility toward Xu Tian.

"Mr. Xu, I know you are a red person by Tang Zong's side, but you can't talk nonsense; this trip is very important to Tang Zong, you keep spreading these unlucky superstitious remarks, it will disturb the morale of the army!"

Xu Tian looked up at this indignant handsome young man, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked: "Who are you?"

"My name is Xiao Can, I am the captain of the third team under Sister Xiaoxia."

"You are Xiao Can?" Xu Tian was slightly stunned, and then when he looked at him again, there was a bit of complexity in his eyes.

Tang Bingyan's bodyguards were all managed by Chen Xiaoxia, totaling ten teams, sorted by strength, and the third team was definitely considered the elite among the ten teams.

And as the captain of the third team, Xiao Can's strength naturally couldn't be underestimated.

It's just that Xu Tian had an impression of Xiao Can not because of his strength, but because of a piece of gossip he had heard before.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Can felt uncomfortable being stared at by Xu Tian.

"Nothing."

Xu Tian smiled faintly, then pretended to pull his hand over to look at it: "I said I can read palms, your recent fortune... hmm..."

"What's wrong with my fortune?" Although Xiao Can didn't believe it, his curiosity was aroused after seeing Xu Tian's actions, so he followed up.

"Your fortune is not bad, you will meet a noble person before long; if you grasp it, you will have no worries about food or clothing for the rest of your life."

"Cut, the old man setting up a stall on the overpass would say this kind of thing."

Xiao Can curled his lips with disdain: "Do you think you say good things, and I will believe you?"

"Believe it or not, anyway I've reminded you."

Xu Tian said seriously: "And for some people, having no worries about food or clothing is not necessarily a good thing; if you don't have the blessing to enjoy it, it's better to avoid it as early as possible."

His memory was good; the reason he had an impression of the name Xiao Can was because he accidentally heard the bodyguards under Tang Bingyan chatting later.

They mentioned that when they were in the Lighthouse Country, Xiao Can was taken a fancy to by a foreign rich woman who had just lost her husband; as long as Xiao Can agreed to register for marriage with her, she could immediately handle immigration and get him a green card.

It is said that Xiao Can was scared to death at that time, and during the time he was in the Lighthouse Country, he didn't shave or wash his face, and forcibly tortured himself from a handsome young man into a rough man, just because he was afraid that the rich woman wouldn't give up.

Right now, everything around them was developing according to the trajectory of his previous life; Chen Xiaoxia injured her face.

Regardless of whether it was injured in a fight, the general direction was always correct.

Looking at it this way, Xiao Can couldn't avoid the fate of being taken a fancy to by a rich woman.

"Heh, what no worries about food or clothing, I really don't care!" Xiao Can said coldly.

He was very satisfied with his life now, and just wanted to follow Tang Bingyan and Chen Xiaoxia as a bodyguard for the Tang family.

What no worries about food or clothing, opportunities to fly high, he didn't need any of them.

"I estimate you can't enjoy it either."

Xu Tian touched his chin: "However, that noble person has taken a fancy to you, and it's not so easy to dismiss; it just so happens I have a method here that can let you successfully avoid the upcoming opportunity, do you need me to give you a hint?"
