110: Chapter 109 Yue Tingting’s Phone Call 110: Chapter 109 Yue Tingting’s Phone Call Watching Bai Zhiqing ascend the stairs, Lu Tianxing glanced at the wall clock; it was only two in the afternoon, sowhat early.
He planned to drive out for a stroll when his phone trembled in his pocket, and the lodious ringtone sounded.
Lu Tianxing pulled out his phone, noticed the number on the display, and a knowing smile spread across his face as he answered, “Tingting, isn’t today the weekend?
Why are you calling Brother Lu?
Do you not have to accompany your boyfriend?”
“What boyfriend?
Brother Lu, please don’t talk nonsense alright?
I’m just an ugly duckling; who would want to be my boyfriend?”
A voice tinged with playful annoyance ca from the phone.
Lu Tianxing’s face was filled with amusent.
Even through the phone, it seed he could visualize Yue Tingting stomping her foot in dissatisfaction, her little face puffed up with anger.
“Alright, alright, it’s Brother Lu’s fault.
I shouldn’t have teased my beautiful Tingting.
What brings my gorgeous Tingting to call today?
Do you need my help with anything?”
“Brother Lu, do you…
do you have ti tonight?”
Yue Tingting’s voice ca through, carrying a mix of nervousness and anticipation.
“Tonight?
Where to?” Lu Tianxing asked, puzzled.
“I just ca to this school a few days ago, and since it’s also the weekend, so of the young teachers want to throw a welcoming party at Blue Sky Hotel.
I…
I’ve never been to such a place, and I…
I’m a bit scared.
But it wouldn’t be good to reject since we are all colleagues and will have to face each other regularly.
So, I was hoping to ask you, Brother Lu, to accompany .
Of course, if Brother Lu doesn’t want to go, then forget it.
I might as well not go either, so as to avoid any misunderstanding with your wife…”
By the end of her speech, Yue Tingting’s voice had grown fainter and lacked confidence.
Indeed, upon learning of Lu Tianxing’s marriage, Yue Tingting had felt her world spin, as if she had lost her soul, unable to muster any enthusiasm for anything.
It wasn’t until a few days ago, when Lu Tianxing ca to visit her at school and stood up for her, that she realized her Brother Lu had never abandoned her and had always kept her in his heart.
She didn’t ask for Lu Tianxing to rember her; just being able to see him all the ti was enough for her.
While Yue Tingting was caught in her uncertainty, Lu Tianxing replied with a hearty laugh, “I’m free tonight.
Are you at school now?
I’ll drive over to pick you up.”
“Really?”
Overjoyed, Yue Tingting held the phone tightly, her face turning beet red with excitent.
It took her a good while to regain her composure before she asked, puzzled, “Brother Lu, I’m at the school right now, but why co to my school?
The welco party doesn’t start until seven in the evening, and it’s just after two now, so there are still several hours until the party!”
“Of course, I have to take my beautiful Tingting to buy so clothes first.
Going to a banquet calls for attire that’s different from everyday clothes.
You have to dress prettily and splendidly, to beco the star of the party.
Alright, Tingting, I’m hanging up now.
Wait for at the school gate; I’ll be there in about half an hour.”
Having said that, Lu Tianxing hung up the phone.
He was just about to leave when he thought better of it, turned back to the living room to say a word to Bai Qiao Mountain, and then started his car to leave Ziyuan District.
Half an hour later, a white BMW X5 approached from a distance, coming to a stop at the school gate.
Lu Tianxing looked around and was imdiately captivated by a splash of color on the roadside.
There, under a large tree not far from the school, stood Yue Tingting.
She had a rosy complexion, wearing a white dress, with a touch of makeup on her face, giving her an exceptionally pure and ethereal appearance that perfectly suited her innocent charm.
One glance could etch her image in mory, as refreshing as drinking sour plum juice in the heat of sumr, she felt effortlessly comfortable, like the girl next door.
“Brother Lu, why haven’t you arrived yet?
It’s been half an hour.
Brother Lu couldn’t have gotten lost, right?
That’s impossible, Brother Lu has been here before, hasn’t he?”
Yue Tingting’s gaze was fixed on both sides of the road, hoping to spot Lu Tianxing’s arrival at the earliest opportunity.
But just then, a white BMW drove from afar, pulling up right in front of her.
Yue Tingting frowned, about to walk away, when she saw a familiar figure step out of the BMW.
A sweet smile spread across her face, and without a second thought, she rushed over and hugged Lu Tianxing’s arm, pressing her ample bust against his arm as she pouted and whined, “Brother Lu, you’re finally here.
I’ve been waiting for you for so long.”
Lu Tianxing, with a touch of indulgence, scratched Yue Tingting’s nose, saying, “Look at you, sweating profusely.
Why didn’t you just wait for at school?”
“I wanted to see Brother Lu at the earliest mont…”
Yue Tingting stuck out her tongue, revealing a radiant smile.
“What’s so good about Brother Lu to look at?
Haven’t you had enough after more than a year?”
Lu Tianxing smiled and said, “Alright, let’s get in the car first.”
Yue Tingting sat in the passenger seat, amazed at the decoration inside the BMW.
Although she didn’t understand cars, she knew the price of ‘Don’t Touch ’, and the car’s interior was also very luxurious.
Sowhat surprised, she asked, “Brother Lu, when did you buy a car?
I’ve never seen you drive before.”
“This car isn’t mine, it’s provided by the company.
You know I’m working now.
Sotis I need to run business and negotiate contracts, and it’s impossible without a car,” Lu Tianxing explains with a smile.
“Heehee, I knew Brother Lu you are the best.
There’s a guy at our school who drives a car that seems to cost several hundred thousand, and he shows off at school every day.
Tonight’s welco party is organized by him.
This car looks even better than his.
He’s not as impressive as Brother Lu.”
Yue Tingting’s face bead with pride, as if she had purchased the car herself: “Brother Lu, where are we going now?
I know a place where the clothes are cheap and very durable.
How about we go there, Brother Lu?”
“We’re not going to that place today.”
Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s refusal, Yue Tingting’s countenance dimd, and she said with a trace of inferiority, “Brother Lu, do you…
do you think it’s embarrassing for to buy those cheap clothes for you?
I know Brother Lu is successful now, your car is worth more than the one at our school, I’m just an ugly duckling…”
“Where did you get such an idea?
Do I look like soone who would turn his back on people just because he got rich?
Look at that pout, you could hang a soy sauce bottle on it.”
Lu Tianxing, sowhat amused, pinched Yue Tingting’s cheek and explained, “You’re my pretty Tingting.
Of course, you need to wear the best clothes to a banquet.
Aim to be the most dazzling leading lady and show those n your charm.
Just don’t get dazzled yourself and forget your Brother Lu.”
Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Yue Tingting smiled through her tears.
Blushing, she stamred, “Brother Lu, you’re talking nonsense again.
I won’t forget you!
You’re the eternal hero in my heart.”
Toward the end, Yue Tingting pursed her lips and stared unblinkingly at Lu Tianxing.
Lu Tianxing was slightly taken aback, looking at the defiant girl, gently touching her smooth hair, without saying a word.
He wouldn’t make promises to Yue Tingting, for people always change.
The once fervent pledges could eventually turn into nothing, only ti could prove everything.
