I am the world’s top mercenary, just because of his words.

“The world is too dangerous. I want to give you a home.”

I believed it.

I tried my best to leave the organization and stopped beside him.

Until I heard his conversation with his friend.

“What girlfriend? She is just a bodyguard who can sleep.”

The friend mentioned a name, Serena.

The moment he heard this name, his expression became gentle and his voice softened a little.

“Serena is different. She is the cleanest girl in the world.”

At this moment, my dream seemed to wake up suddenly.

I squinted and called my boss who had been waiting for my return.

“Boss, I accepted the S-level mission you mentioned last time.”

——

“You have to think about it. It’s a secret mission and you can’t contact the outside world for a year. Aren’t you in a stable relationship with your fiancé?”

I looked at the man I loved for three years.

He was sitting in the middle of the sofa, playing with the wine glass in his hand, his face still showing the tenderness when he mentioned the name just now.

I spoke softly.

“Well, I’ve thought about it.”

My boss didn’t ask any more questions.

“Okay, get ready. I’ll send a car to pick you up tomorrow night.”

After hanging up the phone, I pushed the door open and walked in.

The moment I walked in, countless teasing eyes fell on me.

“Our Miss Tyne is here? Jeff is really something. A grown man always lets his girlfriend help you drink.”

“She’s not a girlfriend. She’s a fiancée.”

“Yes, yes, Miss Tyne protected you with her life, so our Jeff will naturally pledge his love to her. The bodyguard is in power and her methods are really good.”

These were all Jeff’s good friends and they were also famous second-generation rich people in Linkon. It was not the first time they teased me.

I didn’t bother to pay attention to them, so I walked straight to Jeff and sat down.

Seeing that I didn’t respond, they all looked embarrassed and their teasing words were filled with anger.

“What? Do you really think of yourself as his fiancée? We are talking to you. Can’t you hear us?”

Jeff smiled and handed me a glass of wine, then turned and smiled at the man who had just spoken.

“Can’t wine stop your mouth? This is the savior I called. Don’t let her get angry and run away later.”

He turned his head to look at me, raised his chin at me and motioned me to drink the wine in my hand.

“They just like to joke. Don’t mind it. It’s my birthday today. They toasted me a lot of wine. If you don’t come again, I will be drunk.”

Seeing that I still didn’t speak, Jeff knew that I was unhappy. He turned around and scolded again.

“Say less of this next time. She doesn’t like to hear it.”

Over the years, Jeff often took me to such occasions.

In the past, I always thought that this was a sign of his attention to me and allowed me to integrate into his circle.

But now it seemed that in his eyes, I was just a servant who could resist drinking and a bodyguard who could sleep.

Jeff’s friends curled their lips, but didn’t say anything after all.

Just then, a figure walked in from the door.

She looked a little helpless, holding a gift box tightly in her hand, her fingers were a little white with nervousness and it seemed that it was her first time to come to such a bright and bustling place.

The moment she entered the door, Jeff beside me stood up suddenly, took off his suit jacket and put it on her shoulders.

“What are you doing here? Didn’t I say that I would find you after I finished?”

The moment she saw Jeff, the panic on her face turned into surprise and she handed the gift in her hand to Jeff.

“It’s almost twelve o’clock. I want to give you the gift before twelve o’clock.”

Just then, the teasing voices of those friends rang again.

“Oh, this is Miss Serena, right? Seeing is believing. She is such a cute little white rabbit.”

Jeff’s face darkened instantly and he grabbed the wine glass on the table and threw it over.

“Put away your tricks. If you dare to scare her, I’ll kill you!”

Jeff’s reaction was too big and the chill emanating from his body was even more frightening and the whole private room instantly became quiet.

Seeing his reaction, I was a little dazed.

His friend just made a few jokes and he was so furious, fearing that Serena would suffer the slightest grievance.

And what his friend said to me just now was even more excessive, even though I was already unhappy, he just laughed and scolded a few words without any pain.

I lowered my head and smiled self-deprecatingly.

The air pressure in the private room was extremely low. I picked up two wine glasses, stood up, walked to Serena and handed one of the wine glasses to her.

“Miss Serena, nice to meet you. My name is Tyne.”

As soon as I finished speaking, Jeff took the wine glass from my hand and drank it all in one gulp.

“She is a girl. She is not good at drinking. I will help her drink.”

I had been with Jeff for three years and I had helped him drink most of the wine in such occasions.

And now, before Serena refused, he had already protected her and helped her drink.

It was not good for girls to drink?

What about me? Was I a man?

I was about to speak, but the necklace around Serena’s neck caught my attention.

The pendant of the necklace was a bullet head that was a little old and faded.

Sensing my gaze, Serena’s hand tightly grasped the necklace and the voice was a little nervous when she spoke.

“What’s wrong, Tyne?”

Before I answered, Jeff spoke first.

“The last time we met, Serena said that this necklace was a little special, so I gave it to her on my own initiative.”

I looked at Jeff and there was a flash of discomfort on his face.

How could I not understand him after three years of companionship?

He was so anxious to explain because he was afraid that I would question Serena.

But he didn’t understand me. I, Tyne, was never a woman who would pester others.

“Now that your female companion is here, I’m going home first. Jeff, happy birthday.”

After saying this, I left the room without looking at the expressions of the crowd.

As soon as I got home, my phone rang.

I opened it and saw that there was a short video with me.

In the video, Serena was sitting in the middle of a pile of gifts, with a bunch of red roses beside her and a birthday hat on her head.

The text of this video was: [People who love you will spoil you like a child. This is the first time I know that people who don’t have birthdays can also receive many gifts.]

Soon, the video display disappeared and the next second, a message came: [Sorry, Tyne, I tagged the wrong person, sorry.]

I smiled and put down the phone without replying to the message.

Serena’s tricks were nothing in my eyes.

I packed my things with peace of mind, but tears fell as I packed.

I didn’t have much stuff, except for the clothes I usually wore, there was almost nothing else.

As I packed, I realized that Jeff had never given me a gift in the past three years.

When we were in love, I also nestled in his arms like a little girl, playing with his fingers and speaking coquettishly.

“Why don’t you give me flowers or gifts? I see other boyfriends will give me flowers or gifts.”

At this time, Jeff would always pinch my nose in a doting way.

“My Tyne is different from those vulgar girls. How could she like the things that those little women like?”

I recalled the video I just saw in my mind again. The girl was sitting in the middle of the gifts that were almost piled up like a mountain.

At that moment, I suddenly realized that it was not that I was different from him, but that he was just unwilling to spend time on me.

The gifts that others couldn’t even pile up were the surprises that I had begged for for three years but never received.

How could I not feel heartbroken? The three years with Jeff were three real years.

I really believed that he would give me a home.

“Why are you suddenly packing up? Where are you going?”

The familiar voice came into my ears and I paused.

“Nowhere, the closet is too messy, so I clean it up.”

Hearing my answer, Jeff had some doubts on his face, but perhaps because he thought that I didn’t know anyone except him, he still believed my words.

He sighed and reached out to hug me. “Don’t get me wrong. I just treat her as a sister, but I’m going to marry you. That necklace, she said it’s special. I’ll let her wear it for two days. If you’re unhappy, I’ll go and get it back tomorrow. Don’t be unhappy, okay?”

The last “okay” sounded up, the voice was tender, with some coquettish meaning. After three years together, he knew how to make me soft-hearted. Every time I was a little unhappy, as long as he said the last sentence, I would always be soft-hearted and immediately coaxed by him.

But this time, smelling the faint scent of gardenia on his suit jacket, I just felt a sharp soreness on the tip of my nose. Before I could answer, Jeff’s phone rang.

“What’s wrong? The taxi driver has been following you? Don’t be afraid. I’ll be here soon. Go to a crowded place first. Turn up the volume so that he can hear my voice…”

He was anxious and he opened the door and left the house without even looking at me.

The whole house was silent again, as if he had never come back.

I smiled and reached out to wipe away the tears in my eyes.

The necklace that fluttered in his mouth was a bullet that almost shot into my heart.

As a top mercenary, our organization often accepted various shady tasks on the dark web.

And the reason I met Jeff was because he was the employer of that order.

During that time, he was hunted by his enemies and I was his bodyguard, with a protection period of three months.

In those three months, I saved him from danger countless times and on the day when the three months were up, the killer and I hired by the other party fired a bullet at the same time.

The opponent died on the spot and the bullet that shot at me was only half an inch away from my heart. I was lucky to survive.

When I woke up from the hospital bed, Jeff was lying beside me with red eyes, like a frightened rabbit.

“What are you crying for? Our cooperation period has expired and the mercenary is dead. No one can hurt you in the future. Don’t be afraid.”

I really thought he was crying because he was afraid. After all, he was different from me, who dealt with corpses all year round.
