The delicate cannon fodder is stunning, saving the male supporting role but getting teased instead

Chapter 392 Awakening of the Maiden Hero & Cannon Fodder NPC 03

A hint of panic flashed across Li Chen's eyes, his lips trembling slightly, and he hesitated to speak. After a long while, he took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Nothing, just a little trouble on the way."

But Wenrou clearly saw that his hand hidden under his sleeve was trembling slightly, and it was obvious that things were not as simple as he said.

Wenrou knew very well that Li Chen must be hiding something from her, but she also understood that she was just Li Chen's nanny and there were some things she shouldn't ask too much about.

She turned silently and tiptoed into the kitchen. After a while, she brought out a bowl of steaming noodles, walked over to Li Chen, and said softly, "Eat something first. No matter what happens, you'll have the energy to solve it after you're full."

Li Chen took the noodles and looked at the steam rising from the bowl. A warm feeling welled up in his heart and his eyes reddened slightly. He whispered, "Thank you."

At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang quickly, breaking the slightly dull atmosphere in the house.

Wenrou and Li Chen looked at each other and saw confusion and vigilance in each other's eyes.

Wenrou took a deep breath, stood up and walked towards the door. She looked out through the peephole and saw a tall, cold-looking woman standing outside the door. Her eyes revealed anxiety and anger, as if she wanted to see through the door.

Before Wenrou could ask, the woman shouted, "Li Chen, open the door for me! I know you are in there!"

Wenrou looked back at Li Chen, her eyes full of questions, as if asking for his opinion.

Li Chen's face instantly turned ashen. He gritted his teeth and whispered, "Don't open the door. Let her go."

Wenrou hesitated for a moment, then said to the door, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li is not at home. If you have anything to do, you can come back another day."

The woman seemed to have expected such a response. She snorted coldly and said, "Do you think I will believe you? Li Chen, you can hide from the first day, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day!"

Inside the house, Li Chen held his head in his hands with a painful expression on his face, as if he was suffocating under the pressure of something heavy.

Seeing this, Wenrou walked over to Li Chen, patted his shoulder gently, and whispered, "Mr. Li, don't worry, I can handle this."

After that, she made a phone call, as if speaking in code: "The employer needs support at his doorstep."

Hearing this, Li Chen looked at Wenrou and asked curiously in his magnetic voice, "Who are you calling?"

Wenrou blinked, and seeing that Li Chen's expression was still very grim, she pretended to be relaxed and said, "Mr. Li, you're paying me 20,000 yuan a month, but I'm afraid you're not hiring me just to clean the room. I must be worthy of your high salary."

After Wenrou finished speaking, Li Chen heard a scream coming from outside the door, which was obviously the voice of the woman just now.

Then, the woman was heard shouting in fear: "You pervert, get out of here! Don't touch me!"

Then, the sound of high heels leaving in a hurry was heard outside the door, as if the woman had been scared and ran away.

When the noise outside the door died down, Wenrou's phone lit up. Li Chen was very close to Wenrou at this time and saw a text message from someone he didn't know. It only had two words: "Solved."

She replied with a gentle and clear "Thank you", then raised her head to look at Li Chen, showing her white teeth, and said with a smile: "Okay, sir, it's all taken care of. Have some noodles and have a good rest."

Li Chen was in no mood to eat noodles at the moment. He was full of curiosity about what happened outside and who came to make the woman who was clinging to him like a madman leave so easily.

Wenrou seemed to notice Li Chen's curiosity. She scratched her hair a little embarrassedly and said, "Mr. Li, you know I've encountered a lot of suspicious people recently. It would be too troublesome to drive them away one by one by myself. Plus, the salary you offered is relatively high, so I found someone to help me."

Hearing this, Li Chen's curiosity grew even more. Before asking Wenrou out, he'd tried many other men, including strong men and retired special forces soldiers. However, these men would be "captured" by the women after a short time, and would then help them harass him.

Later, he changed his mind and thought that it was impossible for a woman to be "conquered" by another woman, so he hired Wenrou as a nanny.

And the reason why he finally chose Wenrou was because among the women who came to apply for the job, only Wenrou looked less suspicious. He suspected that the others were "attackers" with ulterior motives.

That's why he was so curious when he heard Wenrou talking about looking for someone to help. He had asked so many people for help but none of them worked. Who on earth was Wenrou looking for who was so powerful?

Seeing the growing curiosity in Li Chen's eyes, Wenrou took out her phone and called the number again. The call was quickly connected, and Wenrou told the other party to come to the employer's home to meet the employer.

Soon after, the doorbell rang again.

The doorbell rang. Wenrou walked quickly to the door and opened it. A figure appeared before everyone. The man's hair was matted and tangled in wisps, so greasy that it looked like it was dripping with oil. His face was unshaven, and dirt and dust mixed together, making it almost impossible to see his original features. His clothes were tattered and ripped, and there was a pungent stench. He really was an ugly, filthy homeless man.

Li Chen was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the person Wenrou asked for help was actually a homeless man. But then his eyes lit up, as if the person in front of him was not a smelly and dirty homeless man, but a treasure.

He was really curious about how this man managed to drive those women away.

Wenrou seemed to have read Li Chen's mind and explained with a smile, "Mr. Li, this is the man I called in for help. I saw him begging nearby before, and suddenly an idea struck me: to hire him to help chase away those suspicious people. He was originally broke, but when he heard there was money to be made, he immediately agreed. Now that he has the payment I gave him, he has been staying in a nearby youth hostel recently. But to scare those women away, he has been keeping this slovenly appearance."

Hearing the gentle words, the tramp grinned, revealing a mouthful of black and yellow teeth. He chuckled and said in a slurred dialect, "Although I'm dirty, I'm useful! When those girls saw me like this, and I deliberately scared them a few times, they ran away faster than rabbits!"

Li Chen opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it back. He just gave Wenrou a complicated look, which showed surprise, admiration, and a hint of barely perceptible gratitude.

Wenrou saw Li Chen's embarrassment, smiled gently, turned to the homeless man and said, "Brother, thank you so much today. This is the agreed reward, take it." As she spoke, Wenrou took out a few bills from her pocket and handed them to the homeless man.
