"Hahaha, alright, alright, I won't tease our Yan'er anymore. Let's ask Bodyguard Bro about his background!" Seeing how furious Li Yuyan was, Dongfang Wan'er reined it in a little and said.
Hearing Dongfang Wan'er's words, Li Yuyan's anger subsided just a fraction. But as a Young Miss, how could she be placated so easily? She still sat there with puffed-up cheeks.
Ugh, hearing what Dongfang Wan'er said, Xiao Tian was utterly speechless. He had clearly already told them his name, yet Dongfang Wan'er still insisted on calling him Bodyguard Bro.
Bodyguard Bro! That name didn't sound cool at all! His own name, Xiao Tian, sounded so much better!
"Bodyguard Bro, where are you from?" Dongfang Wan'er asked Xiao Tian with a grin.
"I'm from Bashu," Xiao Tian answered honestly.
"A henpecked husband? Hahaha!!" Upon hearing Xiao Tian's reply, Dongfang Wan'er burst out laughing.
What the heck! Who says everyone from Bashu is henpecked! Hearing Dongfang Wan'er, Xiao Tian felt a stampede of imaginary beasts gallop across his heart.
"Well, I just stayed in Bashu for a long time; my family's ancestral home isn't there," Xiao Tian said, putting on a bitter expression as he fought down the urge to beat up Dongfang Wan'er.
"Oh, oh, so you're not henpecked! Hahaha!! Then what did Bodyguard Bro do before this?" Dongfang Wan'er asked, still laughing at Xiao Tian's wry face.
"Before I was thirteen, I practiced martial arts with my master. After thirteen, I went to join the army," Xiao Tian replied truthfully.
"Oh? A martial artist, are you? Who's your master?" Dongfang Wan'er continued.
"Young Miss, I'm sorry, but I can't reveal that," Xiao Tian said seriously.
"Fine, looks like I won't get your real background out of you. So how did Yan'er's father recruit you?" Dongfang Wan'er asked next.
"I just helped Uncle Li cure some chronic ailments, and to show his gratitude, he asked if I had a job. I said no, so Uncle Li sent me here," Xiao Tian answered honestly.
"Liar! Father clearly said you also know martial arts!" Li Yuyan chimed in angrily from the side.
"Well, I told Uncle Li that I served in the army and know a bit of hand-to-hand combat," Xiao Tian explained helplessly.
"Ooh, you know martial arts and medicine too? Yan'er, you hit the jackpot!" Dongfang Wan'er said with exaggerated enthusiasm.
"Humph, small tricks!" Li Yuyan shot Xiao Tian a look of utter disdain and puffed out her cheeks.
Me? Hearing Li Yuyan's remark, Xiao Tian felt both helpless and speechless! *Sigh!* This Young Miss really had a pampered temper!
Whatever! Who asked him to be working for them now? Better just bear with it for now! Xiao Tian comforted himself with a helpless mental sigh.
"Hehe, Young Miss, actually my martial arts are quite formidable, and my medical skills are decent too," Xiao Tian said with a grin, looking at the pouting Li Yuyan.
"Hmph, I don't believe it for a second!" Li Yuyan retorted, still visibly miffed.
Ugh, ugh, ugh! Xiao Tian was rendered completely speechless. He couldn't figure out why this young miss disliked him so much. Could it be that his first impression on her had been that terrible?
With that thought, Xiao Tian lowered his head to check out his outfit. It was fine! And he looked decent enough—so where on earth was the problem?
Looking down at his attire, Xiao Tian muttered inwardly. Unfortunately, he still didn't know that the young misses of Jiangnan simply loathed country bumpkins decked out in formal suits and giant sunglasses!
