Capítulo 1250: Chapter 1243: The Mysterious Man
“Truly a mysterious man.”
Li Ya gazed at Lu Tianxing in the center of the dance floor, a hint of unusual charm flickering in her beautiful eyes. Such a man, brimming with mystery, held an irresistible allure for any woman, herself perhaps included.
When the piece of music ca to a halt, cheers erupted from the crowd at the edge of the dance floor, followed by a round of enthusiastic applause, all directed toward Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing.
Bai Zhiqing was slightly out of breath, her delicate face flushed with a rosy hue. Her eyes rippled like water, and she seed completely exhausted, lying against Lu Tianxing. Her chest heaved violently. Despite having just followed Lu Tianxing’s lead in performing the dance, it was her stamina that had been drained.
Only after stopping did Bai Zhiqing feel a strong wave of fatigue wash over her, prompting an instinctual desire to find a place to rest and catch her breath.
Lu Tianxing smiled at those around them, carrying Bai Zhiqing as they walked off the dance floor. For him, the movents they just perford were child’s play—not even a warm-up—and with Bai Zhiqing cooperating with him, they executed each move effortlessly.
“Wife, what do you think? Wasn’t I telling the truth? I could have been the world dance king if I hadn’t been held back by my assistant work. If I were in showbiz, even Michael Jackson would only be second.” Lu Tianxing said, gazing at Bai Zhiqing smugly.
Bai Zhiqing nodded subconsciously, seemingly agreeing with Lu Tianxing. Indeed, although she had been following Lu Tianxing’s lead, she hadn’t seen the dance herself. However, from the applause and astonished looks of those around, it was clear Lu Tianxing wasn’t lying.
“Haha, wife, you really have insight. This is the dance skill honed through countless practices; ordinary people couldn’t replicate it.” Lu Tianxing boasted proudly.
Bai Zhiqing looked at Lu Tianxing and suddenly retorted, “So, Lu Tianxing, does this an you’ve danced like this with other won? Otherwise, where does all this extensive practice co from?”
“Co on now.”
Hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, Lu Tianxing was tongue-tied, wishing he could slap himself for his big mouth: “Wife, why are you asking this way? I can assure you, this dance is sothing I’ve only done with you.”
“Really?”
Bai Zhiqing looked at Lu Tianxing, a face full of doubt. She now didn’t believe a word of Lu Tianxing’s assurances.
“Of course.”
Lu Tianxing nodded earnestly, saying: “Wife, you must have heard the saying, ‘master one thod, master all’. While dance and martial arts are different, they share similarities. Haven’t you noticed that since learning simple martial arts, you handle all yoga poses with ease?”
Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Bai Zhiqing nodded thoughtfully. Lu Tianxing wasn’t wrong. Since he taught her a martial arts ntal thod, her flexibility seed to have greatly improved. High-difficulty yoga poses she couldn’t do before now ca naturally, and she learned everything swiftly.
Especially in dancing, she progressed rapidly. Although at the beginning, Lu Tianxing was guiding her, over ti she kept up with his pace, instinctively reacting to his moves by following along.
Seeing Bai Zhiqing nod in agreent, Lu Tianxing exhaled a long breath of relief, thankful his bluff worked. He vowed never to brag recklessly again; he could get himself into serious trouble.
As Bai Zhiqing and Lu Tianxing exited the dance floor, the ball continued, with lodious music floating through the hall. Lu Tianxing sat leisurely, savoring fine wine and food. anwhile, Bai Zhiqing had been drawn away by a few socialites for a chat in the past few minutes.
Lu Tianxing gently sipped on his wine, a faint smile on his face, unperturbed by the matter with Johnson.
Just then, a whiff of fragrance reached Lu Tianxing’s nose from behind.
Turning instinctively, Lu Tianxing saw Li Ya approaching.
Li Ya carried a glass of red wine, walking gracefully to Lu Tianxing’s side, and chuckled softly, “Mr. Lu, I’m here to apologize to you and hope you will forgive .”
Lu Tianxing was slightly taken aback, asking with so confusion, “Apologize? Miss Li Ya, you must be joking. It doesn’t seem like you did anything that wronged , and there’s no need for you to apologize.”
“Mr. Lu, do you know? From the first mont I saw you, I thought you were a brute. Even after you broke Johnson’s leg and pressured the Nokevi family, I thought you were rely a powerful brute, more brawn than brains, unworthy of Zhiqing. But now, I have co to admire Zhiqing’s eye for people.”
Holding her gaze on Lu Tianxing, Li Ya spoke slowly, with a barely perceptible unusual flicker in her eyes, “You are a very mysterious man—soone who can stir any woman’s curiosity. Moreover, you know how to protect your wife, fearless regardless of whom you face, because you always rember you are a man, a husband. I must say, Zhiqing found herself a good husband.”
“Haha, Miss Li Ya, thank you for your complint. What you ntioned might be rare to you foreigners, but for us Huaxia people, it’s only natural. If a man cannot protect his own wife, then he’s not a man at all. To a Huaxia man, he is the sky over his wife. As long as the sky doesn’t fall, that woman will never be hard. And if it does fall, it ans the man is dead—otherwise, the sky above his woman would never collapse.”
Looking at the beautiful Western woman before him, Lu Tianxing said with a faint smile, “Of course, having said all this, you might think I’m lying or intentionally bragging. If the opportunity arises, Miss Li Ya, you should visit China soti. Maybe you’ll experience firsthand the truth in my words.”
