One killer is fine. Ten is also fine. But if they come in waves, that’s just overtime work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared at his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this man incapable of feeling tension? Or was he so confident that danger simply didn’t register in his mind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, his presence did relieve a lot of her worries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, he asked, \"By the way... Something crossed my mind earlier. Don’t you think the villa’s security is too lax?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It wasn’t always like this,\" Zhang Xulin said. \"Miss used to have an entire team of armed elite bodyguards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo blinked. \"Seriously? Then where are they now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Xulin glanced at him. \"She dismissed them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Why?\" Su Mo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because she said,\" Zhang Xulin uttered with a blank expression, \"’Even all of them combined can’t last ten seconds against you.

Miss does have a good eye for people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo heard this, and a natural smile appeared on his face. He straightened unconsciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, obviously.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at him sideways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pure, gentle smile on Su Mo’s face that appeared for a moment stunned her.

That’s my job.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not your job.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tilted his head in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s your responsibility as a man.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t want Miss Yang to be heartbroken.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo stared at her, bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their conversation had clearly derailed into different dimensions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re still talking about protecting her, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Xulin ignored that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember my words,\" she said quietly. \"I’ll be watching you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned and resumed walking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo stood there for two seconds, completely confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Watching me? For what?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he look suspicious?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Was this a thing among bodyguards?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Women truly are mysterious creatures... Trying to catch up with their thought process is like playing a flute while running a marathon.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shifted the assassin slightly on his shoulder and followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he didn’t know—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier that evening, Zhang Xulin had received a call from Young Master Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news from him had nearly shattered her composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Yang and Su Mo were dating!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo was to be the future son-in-law of the Yang family!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossible! Absurd!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until Young Master Yang showed her the evidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were photos and confirmation messages from Lady Yang and Master Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Xulin had stood motionless in her room long after the call ended, her phone still in her hand as her thoughts refused to settle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was shock, doubt, and finally a reluctant acceptance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Yang, the girl she had watched grow up together, protected, scolded, and had worried over, was suddenly in a relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with this guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at Su Mo’s back now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was walking ahead, humming under his breath, an unconscious assassin slung over his shoulder like a sack of rice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is carefree, lazy, but absurdly powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Was he worthy?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she would find out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’ll be watching,’she repeated silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahead of her, Su Mo was busy contemplating whether the Squat Card of a higher grade is also available in check-in rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to try it on Miss Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For purely knowledge purposes, of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Mother Yang received photos of Yang Qingxi and Su Mo at the park from her well-meaning friend, the manager of Central Park. It was as if a volcano had erupted inside the Yang household.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The evidence was painfully clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Qingxi was walking hand in hand with Su Mo, her cheeks flushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo was crouching at an arcade machine, laughing with a group of children, while Yang Qingxi stood behind him. Her eyes were soft, and her gaze was fixed entirely on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then the most explosive set was the last two photos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them is entering a couples-only area, and the other is leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The time difference was exactly one hour and twelve minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did couples do in a couples-only area for over an hour?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren’t playing poker. No one needed to spell it out. Right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yang parents were thunderstruck. Father Yang had been crying in grief, wishing to chop Su Mo to pieces. Mother Yang was now even more interested in meeting this son-in-law of hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Yang’s expression had been... complicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Zhang Xulin had fallen silent when she saw the timestamps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her only confusion was:’When did it happen?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was with Miss almost every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one day she took leave, the two of them went on a date?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Su Mo, you sly dog!\" She muttered a complaint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Yang Zhen saw her stunned expression back then, realisation dawned on him. No wonder Sister Xulin was still single. In matters related to the heart, she was completely hopeless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of that explosive misunderstanding, tonight’s awkward lecture had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Xulin had decided there was no need to expose the matter openly. If Miss and Su Mo were keeping it private, she would respect that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Su Mo understood his responsibilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too bad—forget understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this very moment, Su Mo was completely bewildered, \"Huh...? Am I sly? Why are you scolding me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Sister Xulin clearly had no intention of explaining anything further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which left him even more perplexed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What’s wrong with this woman? Is she still half asleep?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Forget it, as long as it doesn’t affect me.’\u003C\u002Fp>",1119,"2026-06-02T12:20:51.810Z",1,"novelbin.me","a32a11fca7c03ccc2413dec6533db1cb1afeb7bcb4b66b27231b001c96dc4049","the-destiny-villainess-wants-me-to-work-chapter-72","the-destiny-villainess-wants-me-to-work-chapter-70",240,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-destiny-villainess-wants-me-to-work-cover.jpg"]
