Lu Tianxing’s expression turned dark instantly. Damn, Xue Man is still as hot-headed as ever. Conquering a woman like her is definitely a challenge.
"And don’t get the wrong idea. I hugged you just now because you helped teach Bai Jingjing a lesson, so I thought I’d give you a little reward. Alright, you can buzz off now. Goodbye."
After saying that, Xue Man didn’t say anything else, she simply turned and headed into the district.
Lu Tianxing watched Xue Man’s back, shook his head slightly, said nothing, and turned to walk out of the district.
Lu Tianxing didn’t notice, but just as he turned to leave, Xue Man, who had already walked into the district, sohow reappeared at the entrance. Watching Lu Tianxing’s departing figure, her body trembled slightly, and tears rolled down her enchanting eyes.
For Xue Man, perhaps from this mont on, she and Lu Tianxing are just friends, because she doesn’t want to get involved in the lives of Lu Tianxing, Bai Zhiqing, Lin Qianru, and others. They might not even be able to be friends then, so rather part ways and forget each other in the world.
Walking out of the district, he hailed a taxi and told the driver to go to Ziyuan District. Lu Tianxing sat in his seat, watching the night view speeding past outside, recalling the mont Xue Man hugged him, and sighed softly in his heart.
How could he not know Xue Man’s feelings? But with so many won around him that he can’t handle, if Xue Man is added to the mix, who knows what might happen? Besides, it wouldn’t be fair to Xue Man.
Moreover, he doesn’t know how he feels about Xue Man. To say he likes her isn’t surprising, as who wouldn’t like a beauty? But to say he loves her isn’t quite right. That’s why, even knowing Xue Man might like him, he always played dumb. He really doesn’t want to hurt Xue Man. It’s unfair to a woman, and he’s already let down many won and doesn’t want to let Xue Man down too.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Tianxing sighed, a complex expression flashing in his eyes. He decided to bury this matter in his heart and let things take their course.
As ti passed, more than twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of Ziyuan District. After paying the fare, Lu Tianxing got out of the car, not lingering outside, and walked toward the district.
At this mont, Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru were busy in the kitchen, several simple dishes placed on the dining table. The faint aroma of food filled the air, making one instantly feel hungry.
"Qianru, your cooking skills are amazing."
Bai Zhiqing stood by, watching Lin Qianru’s fluid movents, her beautiful eyes full of admiration. Although she and Lin Qianru are best friends, she didn’t expect Lin Qianru’s cooking to be so good. It might not match those big hotel chefs, but the food gives a sense of ho, very warm.
"Zhiqing, don’t tease . This little bit of cooking is nothing. With your intelligence, you’ll soon surpass ."
Lin Qianru smiled gently, bringing the last dish out from the kitchen.
By this ti, Lu Tianxing also reached the door. Seeing the lights inside, he took a deep breath and a faint smile appeared on his lips as he walked directly in.
Since Lu Tianxing had the keys, he didn’t knock. Besides, this is his ho, why would he need to knock?
He directly took out the key, opened the door, and walked in.
As soon as Lu Tianxing entered the room, the aroma of food instantly filled his nostrils, making him feel hungry. To know, after work tonight, he accompanied Xue Man to a class reunion without having eaten. He planned to grab a bite at the reunion, but before they could sit, the whole Bai Jingjing incident happened, and they had to leave.
Now, slling the aroma of food, a strong sense of hunger surged up in Lu Tianxing’s heart.
Just then, Lin Qianru and Bai Zhiqing, who had just taken off their aprons and walked out of the kitchen, heard the door open. Instinctively, they lifted their heads, their gazes falling on Lu Tianxing. Simultaneously, smiles appeared on their faces as they said in unison, "You’re back."
Looking at the two stunning won, hearing their lodious voices, a warm smile spread across Lu Tianxing’s lips. With such wives, what more could a husband ask for?
"Yes, I’m back. By the way, what are you making? It slls so good that my mouth is watering," Lu Tianxing said with a deep breath and a smile as he closed the door.
"Tianxing, your nose is so sharp. We just finished preparing the late-night snack, and you showed up," Lin Qianru said, smiling at Lu Tianxing.
Hearing Lin Qianru’s words, Lu Tianxing’s eyes lit up, and he grinned, "Really? Looks like I ca back just in ti. Can we eat now? I haven’t had dinner yet!"
"Lu Tianxing, you didn’t really ruin Xiao Man’s class reunion, did you?"
Bai Zhiqing looked at Lu Tianxing with a peculiar expression. She hadn’t taken Lin Qianru’s earlier words seriously, thinking such coincidences didn’t happen. But it turned out, just as Lin Qianru had said, Xue Man’s reunion was ruined. Otherwise, knowing Lu Tianxing’s character, he wouldn’t have co back without eating his fill.
There’s no denying it—Bai Zhiqing knows Lu Tianxing very well.
Upon hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, Lu Tianxing rolled his eyes and said, "Honey, seriously, what do you an I ruined Minister Xue’s reunion? I was a victim too, okay? I pretended to be Minister Xue’s boyfriend out of kindness, just to score so free stuff to eat. Do you think that’s easy for ? As soon as I walked in, Minister Xue got into a spat with so guy, and that guy couldn’t handle Minister Xue, so he called for backup..."
Bai Zhiqing listened to Lu Tianxing, seemingly predicting what would co next, and calmly said, "And then you taught that guy’s backup a lesson, couldn’t stay at the reunion, so you ca back?"
"Um, honey, you already knew, huh."
Lu Tianxing laughed awkwardly and said, "I can’t be blad for that. That guy was just asking for it, trying to make crawl out on my knees. I reluctantly taught him a lesson."
"Tianxing, does that guy have any real power? Will there be trouble?" Lin Qianru suddenly chid in.
"Don’t worry, it’s fine. Just a small fry, if he dares to make trouble for , I’ll stomp him out with no qualms."
Lu Tianxing gave Lin Qianru a little smile, "Alright, enough about that. Let’s go grab a late-night snack! I’m starving."
With that said, Lu Tianxing strode quickly toward the dining room.
Lin Qianru and Bai Zhiqing watched Lu Tianxing leave, exchanged a glance filled with smiles, shook their heads, and without saying another word, followed behind him to the table.
The three of them sat down at the table, chatting and laughing as they enjoyed their midnight snack, without a hint of discord.
After the snack, Lu Tianxing, like an old-ti gentleman, strolled leisurely out of the dining room, cradling a cup of tea Lin Qianru had just brewed. He plopped down on the sofa, watching TV with a content smile on his face.
anwhile, Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru tidied up the table, worked together to wash the dishes, put them in the cupboard, and only then did they erge from the kitchen.
"Lu Tianxing, why are you still here? Why not go take a shower?" Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru said as they exited the kitchen and saw him still on the sofa.
Upon hearing them, Lu Tianxing casually placed the teacup on the table, stood up, and his eyes roved over Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru, chuckling slyly, "I’m just wondering where to sleep tonight. Oh, Qianru, didn’t you say you’re afraid of thunderstorms at night? I checked the weather report; it’s supposed to storm tonight. Why don’t we share a room, so you won’t be scared?"
As he spoke, Lu Tianxing’s gaze darted between Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru’s chests, a mischievous smile on his face.
Since Bai Zhiqing accepted Lin Qianru into their lives, he’s waited for this day—a sleepover was such a tantalizing idea.
"Lu Tianxing, you bastard."
"Tianxing, you dirty-minded scoundrel."
Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words and feeling his all-too-real gaze, Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru couldn’t help but blush and shot him a harsh glare.
Lu Tianxing felt a wave of embarrassnt—what’s wrong with that? It’s only natural, isn’t it? Faced with two beauties, who wouldn’t want so fun? Those who don’t are either unaware or abnormal.
Bai Zhiqing, flushed, glanced at Lu Tianxing, "I’m going to rest now, Qianru, what about you?"
Upon Bai Zhiqing’s prompt, Lin Qianru’s pretty face too turned pink, wanting to stay and delve into the mysteries of the human body with Lu Tianxing. After all, he’d sparked her curiosity today, which lingered unfulfilled, and they’ve been apart for so long, acting uninterested seems implausible.
However, Lin Qianru knew she couldn’t stay. After all, Bai Zhiqing was Lu Tianxing’s official wife, and she was just the mistress. In ancient tis, Bai Zhiqing would be the first wife, and she, the concubine—she had to care for Bai Zhiqing’s feelings.
"I’ll rest too."
"Then let’s go upstairs. As for this guy, there are plenty of rooms here; let him find one on his own."
With those words, Bai Zhiqing took Lin Qianru’s hand and headed upstairs.
