Hearing the man in black’s words, Lu Tianxing frowned, remained silent for a mont, and then said, "I understand, you can leave. I will protect my wife myself. Withdraw all your people; I don’t like having soone constantly around watching over ."
"But...."
"There’s no ’but’. You now have two choices: leave imdiately, or I break your legs and throw you out."
Lu Tianxing looked coldly at the man in black. Whether the man in black was telling the truth or not, he would not choose to accept it. Lu Tianxing was very aware that if he truly were Lu Tianzhan’s son, there would definitely be people in the Lu Family who did not wish for him to return. The man in black claid to be sent by the Old Master of the Lu Family, but who could prove that? If he was sent by others from the Lu Family, having them protect Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru would be like sending sheep into a tiger’s mouth.
After saying this, Lu Tianxing didn’t wait for the man in black to speak again and left with Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru toward the outside.
"Lu Tianxing, he...."
"I don’t know either, but I know that I can’t trust anyone from the Lu Family right now." Lu Tianxing glanced at Bai Zhiqing and said softly.
Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Bai Zhiqing nodded without asking further questions. Instead, she followed Lu Tianxing and left.
Watching the three of them slowly disappear, the man in black’s face showed an unnatural expression. Finally, he sighed, took out a phone from his pocket, and dialed a number: "Housekeeper Lu, I was discovered by the Young Master. He won’t allow us to protect him nearby, otherwise, he’ll take action next ti."
"I understand; Lu Yi, you should return to Beijing for now. It’s understandable that the Young Master doesn’t trust you. After all, the Lu Family is not what it used to be."
A voice, old and weary, quickly ca through the phone.
"I understand."
After hanging up, the man in black disappeared in a flash.
anwhile, far away in Beijing, Housekeeper Lu Chuan hung up the phone with a wry smile on his face. After a mont’s silence, he dialed the Old Master of the Lu Family.
A mont later, the call was connected, and a strong, old voice ca through the receiver: "Lu Chuan, what happened?"
"Old Master, the guards we sent to Modu to protect the Young Mistress were discovered."
"Discovered?"
"Yes, and the Young Master said not to send anyone to follow him, or else he’ll take action," Lu Chuan said.
"Are you sure it was he who said it?"
"Lu Yi doesn’t lie."
"Understood."
The Old Master of the Lu Family was silent for a mont before he said, "Since he doesn’t want you to follow them secretly, then recall Lu Yi back to Beijing. Aren’t there still my two granddaughters-in-law in Beijing? Have Lu Yi and the others protect them secretly. If anyone dares to harm my granddaughters-in-law, don’t be polite, kill them all. If anything happens, I’ll take responsibility."
"Old Master, if you do this and the Young Master encounters danger...."
"That’s enough, Lu Chuan, don’t worry. Have you ever seen my grandson? Do you think he’s an ordinary person? If he says he doesn’t need your protection, then he must be confident he can protect his own wife. Besides, as a son of the Lu Family, how can one see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain? Consider this matter settled."
The Old Master weighed his words heavily: "However, keep an eye on Beijing and Modu. I want to see who dares to lay a hand on my grandson."
"Yes, Old Master, I understand."
Unaware of these developnts, Lu Tianxing and the others had lost the mood for shopping due to the matter with the Lu Family. They decided to leave the pedestrian street and return to Ziyuan District together.
At this mont, Lu Tianxing was sitting on the sofa, legs crossed, slightly frowning as if contemplating sothing, while Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru were enthusiastically planning their rooms.
The ground floor was where Bai Qiao Mountain and He Cailan stayed, so it naturally wouldn’t do. Moreover, the two were quite likely to return, so they began planning the second floor. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru chose rooms on opposite sides, while Lu Tianxing’s room was directly in the middle.
Lu Tianxing had no objections to their arrangent; in fact, he was quite happy. So long as those two girls weren’t rooming together, it wouldn’t an he had no chance of any romantic mischief in the evenings. Although it wasn’t possible to achieve a ’one dragon, two phoenixes,’ it was certainly better than being all alone.
Bai Zhiqing seed to perceive Lu Tianxing’s thoughts and said to Lin Qianru, "Qian Ru, why don’t we go to a shopping website later and buy a pair of gardening shears to keep at ho? Since it’s just the three of us in this apartnt, we need scissors to trim the flowers and plants outside, and they could also serve as self-defense tools. I recently heard there’s a wolf in our neighborhood, and it’s quite effective for wolf defense, don’t you think?"
How could Lin Qianru not understand Bai Zhiqing’s implication? She laughed and said, "Then I also need to prepare sothing; we should buy a high-power stun baton too. Who knows, maybe this wolf is very formidable, so we should take dual precautions."
"You’re right."
Bai Zhiqing nodded heavily and said, "Lu Tianxing, do you think what we’re saying is right?"
"Uh!"
Hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, Lu Tianxing’s face turned a shade darker. How was he supposed to respond? The wolf Bai Zhiqing was talking about was clearly a veiled insult.
"Uh, my dear wife, do whatever you want, I have no objections." Lu Tianxing replied with an embarrassed smile.
"Really? Then it’s settled. I hope that wolf understands my words, otherwise, if it sneaks out at night and loses a body part, that would be unfortunate." Bai Zhiqing sighed, shaking her head dramatically.
"Wife, do you have to be so ruthless? Are you willing to see alone in the cold empty house? I think we can arrange sothing; you take Monday, Qian Ru takes Tuesday, and we alternate like this. Seven days a week, each of you gets three days, and I get one day off. Don’t worry, I’m in great health and can handle it; trust ," Lu Tianxing said, patting his chest and darting his eyes between Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru.
Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, both Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru blushed and rolled their eyes at him. That scoundrel, did he think of himself as so kind of prize? Acting as if everyone was eager to have him.
"Tianxing, what were you thinking about earlier?" Lin Qianru took a deep breath, calming herself, and asked Lu Tianxing with curiosity.
"Nothing much, just pondering so trivial matters," Lu Tianxing said softly.
"Was it about the person we encountered today?" Bai Zhiqing asked at this point.
"Yes!"
Lu Tianxing nodded.
"You suspect they were sent by the Lu Family to monitor you?"
"I don’t know."
Lu Tianxing shook his head and said, "I haven’t gone to the Lu Family, so I can’t know the true situation there. Whether or not I’m really Lu Tianzhan’s son, I can’t trust anyone in the Lu Family now. I’m sure there’s soone there who doesn’t want to see go to the Lu Family."
