16: Chapter 15 Ziyuan District 16: Chapter 15 Ziyuan District Watching Yue Tingting’s hurried departure, and reflecting on that gentle kiss, Lu Tianxing let out a deep sigh.

He pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and smoked.

He knew all too well what was on Yue Tingting’s mind, yet he couldn’t provide her the peaceful life she desired.

His hands were stained with blood, living amidst slaughter and death.

Countless lives had been taken by him, which was entirely different from Yue Tingting’s past two decades.

He found it hard to imagine how Yue Tingting would perceive him if she knew all of this, whether it would be with fear or estrangement.

After smoking a few cigarettes on the sofa, Lu Tianxing regained his composure and began to organize his belongings.

Lu Tianxing packed his things swiftly, having few possessions.

He casually gathered a few clothes, then turned his attention to a ring on the bedside.

He pulled it out from there.

It was a green ring with a carving of an Azure Dragon on it, appearing lifelike as if it had come to life.

The dragon’s eyes were fierce, almost as if it were about to soar into the sky.

Lu Tianxing looked at the ring and sighed deeply.

Besides longing for a leisurely life upon his return to the city, his return was primarily motivated by this ring.

He had obtained it from an assassin in New York.

Shortly after, he was targeted by powerful figures in Europe.

If he had not run fast enough, he might not have had the chance to leave Europe.

Tucking the Azure Dragon Ring into his pocket casually, Lu Tianxing then left the house, descended the stairs, and took one last glance at the community he had lived in for over a year, letting out a gentle sigh.

Perhaps once he stepped out of this place, he might never be able to return to the way things were.

Unbeknownst to Lu Tianxing, as he left the community, a figure stood silently at the window, watching him go.

After leaving the community, Lu Tianxing hailed a taxi towards Ziyuan District.

He initially thought Ziyuan District was at most an upscale community, but it was only upon his arrival that he realized the financial power of his seemingly frugal wife.

Ziyuan District wasn’t just any community; it was a famous villa area in Modu.

The least wealthy residents here were worth billions.

The villas, nestled against mountains and water, boasted a stunning environment.

Each villa was hundreds of meters apart, reflecting grandeur and luxury amid lush greenery and small bridges over flowing water.

Stepping into this place felt like entering a different world, one that separated the heat and the bustle of the city, instilling a sense of tranquility.

The security guard at the gate approached Lu Tianxing, a new face, inquired briefly, and upon checking his ID, let him through.

They had been notified by the owner that someone named Lu Tianxing would be arriving, and naturally, they wouldn’t make things difficult for him.

After all, residents of Ziyuan District were wealthy and noble, not people a security guard could afford to offend.

After entering Ziyuan District, Lu Tianxing traveled a great distance before he reached the address written on Bai Zhiqing’s note, No.

66 Zi Yuan Villa.

The villa wasn’t built with lavish extravagance, but it exuded an ancient and serene atmosphere.

Upon entering, one’s restless mind was instantly calmed.

The villa featured small bridges over water and artificial hills shaded with greenery.

It was hard to imagine how much this house must have cost.

After ringing the doorbell, the tightly shut door was quickly opened by a woman in her fifties dressed in casual attire.

Her face bore traces of time, yet she was well-maintained, looking to be only in her forties.

Upon seeing Lu Tianxing, a kindly smile spread across the woman’s face as she asked, “Hello, may I know who you’re looking for?

My young mistress is not in.

If you have any matters, you can find her at her company.”

Hearing this, Lu Tianxing responded with a smile, “Hello big sister, I’m here because Bai Zhiqing asked me to come.”

“You’re here because the young mistress invited you?”

The woman was briefly stunned, then as if she remembered something, she expressed surprise, “So you are the son-in-law!

My apologies, I was confused and didn’t realize you were the one visiting.

Please forgive me for obstructing the doorway.

“It’s all right, I took you by surprise.

May I know your name, big sister?

How should I address you in the future?” Lu Tianxing asked smilingly, without a hint of arrogance.

For him, every profession had its reason to exist, and there was no room for disdain.

Seeing Lu Tianxing’s demeanor, the woman mentally nodded, thinking to herself that the mistress had indeed chosen a good son-in-law, one without any airs or condescension, unlike the young men who had pursued Bai Zhiqing before, full of arrogance and disdain for others.

“Son-in-law, you can call me Zhao Cuilan, just like the young mistress does—just call me Mrs.

Zhao,” she said with a beaming smile, her eyes appraising Lu Tianxing with increasing satisfaction, “Please don’t stand at the door, son-in-law.

Do come in.”

Lu Tianxing nodded with a smile and followed Mrs.

Zhao into the villa, surveying his surroundings with furrowed brows.

Although the villa gave off an ancient and comfortable vibe, a lingering coldness touched his heart, leaving it feeling empty and desolate.

Once in the living room, unable to suppress his curiosity, Lu Tianxing asked, “Mrs.

Zhao, do only you and Zhiqing live in this villa?

It seems like there’s nobody else here.”

“Son-in-law, you’ve noticed, huh?”

Mrs.

Zhao brewed a cup of coffee for Lu Tianxing and sighed softly, “This villa was bought by the miss.

She used to live here with the old master.

Some time ago, they went out for a trip, and the rooms became vacant.

Plus, the miss is usually busy with work and doesn’t have time to come home, so the house has been empty.

As the miss prefers quietness, she didn’t hire any housemaids.”

Hearing Mrs.

Zhao’s words, Lu Tianxing asked with confusion, “Mrs.

Zhao, what about Zhiqing’s parents?

Why haven’t I seen them?”

“Son-in-law, you must never ask about this matter again.”

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Mrs.

Zhao’s complexion suddenly changed and she said softly, “Son-in-law, please never ask this question again.

Otherwise, the miss will get angry.

And don’t ask the old master either.

It’s lucky the miss didn’t hear you, or she would be angry.”

“I understand, Mrs.

Zhao.

I’ll be careful,” Lu Tianxing nodded.

Seeing the frightened look on Mrs.

Zhao’s face, Lu Tianxing was stunned and immediately realized that something must have happened to cause such a reaction.

Although curious, he refrained from asking further; after all, he wasn’t some gossipmonger.

“Alright, son-in-law, I’ll go cook now.

You sit here for a while,” Mrs.

Zhao said before turning to leave.

Watching Mrs.

Zhao walk away, Lu Tianxing picked up the steaming cup of coffee from the sofa and started to wander around the living room, admiring the surroundings.

While strolling through the living room, Lu Tianxing suddenly heard a door open.

He instinctively turned his head and froze on the spot, dumbfounded as he looked in the direction of the bathroom.

Next to the living room, the bathroom door slowly opened and Bai Zhiqing, wrapped in a bath towel, stepped out of the bathroom.

Her graceful and slender figure was partially seen through the veil of the towel, her fair and radiant skin shimmered with a faint fluorescence under the light, exuding a sultry charm and elegance that could tempt any man.

At that moment, Bai Zhiqing seemed oblivious to Lu Tianxing’s presence.

She tilted her head slightly, continuously wiping her damp hair with a towel as she walked barefoot towards the living room, the movement subtly revealing tantalizing glimpses of her splendid form.

What a perfect beauty after the bath!

Like a lotus emerging from water, natural and elfin, without a touch of makeup.

Lu Tianxing marveled inwardly without blinking—he had seen Bai Zhiqing’s body, but it was this concealed and unveiled sight that was even more enticing.

Bai Zhiqing suddenly realized something was amiss, feeling uneasy as if something was staring at her.

She instinctively lifted her head and immediately froze.

“Ah, you pervert!”

Bai Zhiqing snapped back to reality, hurriedly covering her chest with both hands, her face full of wariness.

Upon hearing this accusation, Lu Tianxing’s face was strewn with lines of dismay—how had he become a pervert?

This did not seem to be his fault.

Seeing the cautious gaze of Bai Zhiqing, a playful smile suddenly appeared on Lu Tianxing’s face.

His previously suppressed mood markedly improved and he strode towards Bai Zhiqing, “Wife, I hadn’t expected you to be even more eager than me.

Are you planning to give me an unforgettable night of cohabitation?

I’m so touched.

As thanks, wife, let’s have a fiery kiss!”

Bai Zhiqing was startled by Lu Tianxing’s advance, retreating continuously, her face filled with panic, as she sharply scolded, “Lu Tianxing, what are you doing?

Stay away from me.”
