Chapter 1236: Chapter 1229: Bikeman Hotel
“But after all, this is New York, not China. I’m worried…”
Bai Zhiqing hadn’t finished speaking, but the aning was already obvious.
“Sister-in-law, just put your mind at ease! We’re not made of clay, if they want to kill us, they need to see if they have the ability first.”
Little Bee also chid in at this ti, “Besides, there’s an old saying that goes well, ‘As long as the green hills last, there will always be wood to burn.’ If we can’t beat them, can we not run? At worst, we’ll go back to China. If they have the guts to chase us there, they won’t need us to deal with them; they’ll be dead already. Sister-in-law, you can relax, I guarantee nothing will happen.”
“But…”
“Alright, wife, when have you ever seen fight a battle I’m not confident in? Since I dared to co here, I’m not afraid of them causing trouble. Don’t worry! Everything’s under control.”
Lu Tianxing looked at Bai Zhiqing and said with a smile, “Wife, if you don’t believe , I can swear to the heavens that I’ll definitely protect myself well. Otherwise, punish by giving no allowance for three months.”
Seeing Lu Tianxing’s deanor, Bai Zhiqing wanted to say sothing several tis but didn’t know how to. Having been with Lu Tianxing for so long, she knows his character well. Once he makes a decision, it’s hard for an average person to change his mind.
Moreover, she vaguely felt in her heart that ever since coming back from Jiangnan, Lu Tianxing definitely had so undisclosed secret.
She wanted to ask Lu Tianxing what this secret was, but never spoke up, knowing that if Lu Tianxing didn’t want to say it, asking would be in vain.
Lu Tianxing looked at her expression and didn’t say anything else. He simply embraced her gently, letting her head rest lightly on his shoulder. Inside, he was unruffled; he had faced many such crises before. As for Bai Zhiqing, he was absolutely confident in protecting her, allowing no harm to co her way.
Little Bee also remained silent, driving all the way to the Bikeman Hotel.
The construction style of the Bikeman Hotel was a typical Western style, rich with a strong Western cultural atmosphere.
Whether it was the hotel lobby or the suites, the decoration was extrely luxurious. Almost every inch was decorated to the extre, using top-notch materials and ornants. Yet, it didn’t convey an air of nouveau riche, but rather exuded a sense of grand luxury.
The walls were adorned with exquisite oil paintings, all genuine, available for the hotel guests to admire. This hotel was grand and magnificent, even Bai Zhiqing, who frequented various high-end chain hotels, couldn’t help but gasp in admiration, as so of the paintings on the walls were treasures and so were unique, all authentic, not counterfeit showpieces.
Following behind Bai Zhiqing, Lu Tianxing entered the lobby, indifferent to the lavish decorations and ignoring the priceless paintings around him. To Lu Tianxing, he couldn’t quite grasp what made these oil paintings, akin to children’s scribbles, so remarkable. He rembered reading a news story about a blackboard that had so circles drawn on it with chalk and was called a masterpiece, even selling for a high price; this almost tempted him to beco a painter.
“Sister-in-law, what do you think? This hotel is not bad, right!” Little Bee bragged from the side.
Lu Tianxing heard this and said dismissively, “What’s so great about it? The walls are lined with so children’s doodles labeled as unique works. I bet a kid could draw them.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhiqing shot a glance at Lu Tianxing, nodded slightly, and said, “Very nice, Little Bee, sorry for the trouble.”
“It’s nothing, sister-in-law. You and the boss wait here for a mont while I go fetch the room keys from the front desk.”
Without finishing his sentence, Little Bee headed straight to the front desk, took sothing out of his pocket, and waved it in front of the receptionist. Soon, he returned with a top suite room key.
“Don’t we need to register?” Bai Zhiqing asked, puzzled, looking at the room key Little Bee handed over.
“Special arrangents, no need for registration. Sister-in-law, would you like to take you upstairs?” Little Bee said cheerfully.
“Don’t bother. I know the place. Little Bee, you can disappear now. Don’t interfere with the two of us enjoying our ti together.”
Lu Tianxing said grumpily to Little Bee, who seed oblivious to the fact that the following ti was ant for him and Bai Zhiqing to share, not for Little Bee to act as a third wheel.
Little Bee’s expression fell. He sulked, “Boss, you’re burning the bridge after crossing it. Does this sit well with your conscience?”
Lu Tianxing shrugged and nonchalantly replied, “My conscience is clear, why wouldn’t it be? I’m not sick.”
“You…”
Little Bee retorted, “Boss, let’s have a showdown.”
“Alright, no problem. Just pick a ti and place, and we’ll have our showdown. I’ll even let you use one hand,” Lu Tianxing replied with a mischievous smile.
Seeing Lu Tianxing’s smile, Little Bee shivered and sheepishly laughed, “Hehe, boss, I was just joking earlier. How could I ever lay a hand on my esteed leader?! I won’t disturb you and sister-in-law’s ti together then. I’ll head off. By the way, boss, you know my number. Call if you need anything.”
“I will. Just be cautious out there, okay? So things aren’t important, but staying alive is. I don’t want to not see you at my son’s one-month celebration in the future.” Lu Tianxing said solemnly to Little Bee.
Upon hearing this, Little Bee trembled, said nothing more, and walked out. Sotis, between brothers, there’s no need for many words.
Watching Little Bee leave, Lu Tianxing took a deep breath and turned to Bai Zhiqing, “Wife, we’ve been on the plane for over ten hours. Let’s go upstairs and rest.”
“Okay.”
Bai Zhiqing nodded slightly. Although they had rested a bit on the plane, it was never as comfortable as resting on solid ground.
Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing didn’t linger in the lobby any longer. They grabbed their bags and took the elevator upstairs, making their way effortlessly to the hotel suite under Lu Tianxing’s lead.
