Audacious [Entertainment Industry]

[Cold, ruthless retired mercenary × naive, cash-strapped Russian rich boy]

Chairwoman of a bodyguard company × actor with terrible Chinese

On Qian Lvzhu’s final deployment, she casually rescued a Russian young master who had wandered into a war zone. Once they were out of danger, he clung to her and sobbed uncontrollably, swearing he would follow her for the rest of his life and be her servant.

Qian Lvzhu didn’t take him seriously. She retired and returned home to inherit her aunt’s bodyguard company, transforming into the fearsome Chairwoman Qian.

One day, she was invited to a cocktail party. At the table next to hers, a businessman insisted on making several young stars drink. One of them, a tall, broad-shouldered Westerner with light green eyes, shook his head in protest and said in broken Chinese, “You... trick me. This wine-drinking thing not in the ad. I want go... home.”

The agent who had brought him frowned and immediately ordered people to hold him down and force the wine on him.

The man’s eyes reddened as he shouted, “You trick me! At first you didn’t say the big screen also needs drinking and sleeping with people!”

He babbled on, but no one understood what he was saying.

Seeing how uncooperative he was, the others prepared to use force.

Qian Lvzhu thought he looked a little familiar, so she swooped in like a hero to rescue the beauty.

Once she had helped him out, the sobbing foreigner clung to her leg, his tears soaking her designer trousers.

He wiped his eyes and quietly asked if he could repay her by marrying her.

Qian Lvzhu: “...Thanks, but I don’t need anyone to warm my bed.”

The man cried even louder.

After she rescued him, Adolph Elmer fell in love with her at first sight.

Unfortunately, before they could get any closer, she retired and returned to Huabang.

So he tossed aside the lessons taught by his loving mother and strict father, resolutely abandoned the family business, and chased after her to Huabang. But the moment he arrived, he was swindled out of every last penny and became penniless.

Unable to find Qian Lvzhu, with no friends or family in a foreign country and not a cent to his name, Adolph Elmer fell for a talent scout’s lies and became a bit-part actor. All he wanted was to appear on the advertising screen in Jingcheng’s busiest district so Qian Lvzhu would notice him.

But he was deceived again.

This acting job offered no prospects at all. All he did was dance, drink with people, and entertain the big shots every day. There was no chance of meeting Qian Lvzhu, let alone moving up in the world.

When Adolph Elmer realized he’d been tricked, he angrily smashed a glass in protest, nearly getting himself beaten to death.

Just then, the woman who had haunted his dreams descended from the heavens and rescued him once again.

Adolph Elmer clung to her tearfully, lamenting all the hardships he’d endured in recent days. Then he shamelessly stuck to Qian Lvzhu like glue, refusing to trust anyone else.

Qian Lvzhu: “...” If she’d known he’d be such a nuisance, she should’ve pretended not to see him on the battlefield.
