Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

42: Chapter 41 Lin Qianru’s Judgement 42: Chapter 41 Lin Qianru’s Judgement After walking for two or three minutes, Lin Qianru led Lu Tianxing to a large but relatively secluded food stall called ‘Yunxiang Restaurant,’ which didn’t seem to be doing very well in business.

Although the restaurant wasn’t huge, it was very clean, indicating that the owner took cleanliness seriously.

It wasn’t peak dining hour, and there were no customers, just a middle-aged woman watching TV inside.

When she heard movement from behind, the woman in her forties or fifties turned around.

Upon seeing Lin Qianru, her face immediately lit up with joy, and she strode over, “Qian Ru, haven’t you been busy with work lately?

What brings you to Sister Hua’s place today?”

“Hehe, I just missed Sister Hua,” Lin Qianru replied with a mischievous smile, hugging the woman despite the grease stains on her clothes, “Sister Hua, hurry up and serve all your signature dishes.

I’m going to indulge myself today, have a feast and treat myself well.”

“Hehe, Qian Ru, no wonder you came here.

It turns out you have a boyfriend.

Not bad, not bad, my Qian Ru has finally seen the light and started dating.

This young man has a good spirit and an honest look in his eyes.

You have a good eye,” Sister Hua said as she noticed Lu Tianxing standing behind Lin Qianru, showing a knowingly ambiguous smile.

Her eyes conveyed a touch of relief, as if she saw her daughter finding a happy destination.

At these words, Lin Qianru’s cheeks turned red, and she quickly explained, “That’s not it, Sister Hua.

Don’t let your thoughts run wild.

He’s my friend.

He helped me today, so I’m treating him to a meal.

It’s not what you think.”

“I see, what a pity.”

Sister Hua smiled with a hint of regret and then called out, “Qian Ru, stop dawdling.

Invite your friend to sit down.

I’ll go to the kitchen to cook for you.

Put some effort in.

This young man seems decent, with a straight look in his eyes and none of that crooked air about him.

If you like him, seize the opportunity.

Good men don’t wait for anyone.

If you’re not careful, someone else will snatch him away, and then it’ll be too late for regrets.”

Lin Qianru’s face heated up at Sister Hua’s words.

She stole a careful glance at Lu Tianxing, quickly averted her gaze as if she were a thief, and it took her a while to compose herself before she called Lu Tianxing to sit down.

“President Lin, are you very familiar with the lady boss here?” Lu Tianxing asked Lin Qianru, curious.

Lin Qianru nodded, with a look of reminiscence crossing her face, “Very.

When I came to Modu all alone, it was Sister Hua who helped me out.

Honestly, without Sister Hua, there might not be a Lin Qianru today.

It’s a pity that when I wanted to help her in return, she refused.

Now, whenever I’m free, I often come here to eat as an indirect way of giving her a bit of support.”

“Coming to Modu all by yourself?

President Lin truly is a woman of courage.

And if I may ask, where is your family from?”

Lu Tianxing looked at Lin Qianru with sincere admiration.

A girl who moved to a big city on her own and made it to the top to become a rich and beautiful woman with an annual salary of millions was truly an inspiring figure to be respected.

“Why do you ask that?” Lin Qianru countered.

“Nothing much, just curiosity.

Why would your family let you come out here on your own?

But if you don’t want to talk about it, let’s drop it.”

Lu Tianxing shook his head, sensing that Lin Qianru didn’t want to delve into this topic.

Lin Qianru fell silent for a moment, lifted her head, and looked earnestly at Lu Tianxing.

“Lu Tianxing, do you know what kind of feeling you give me?”

Lu Tianxing was startled, “What is it?”

“Cold, very cold.

That’s the feeling you give me—very cold.”

“That’s not right.

I feel quite—hot—don’t you remember, on the plane back then, how—passionate….”

“Lu Tianxing, can’t you be serious for a moment?”

Lin Qianru hurriedly interrupted Lu Tianxing, whispering, “Lu Tianxing, I think businessmen have many faces, speaking human words with humans and ghost words with ghosts.

But I feel that you’re even better at hiding yourself because you are always concealing yourself.”

“What do I look like—a face changer?

Always hiding myself.

As a loser, why should I hide?

It’s not like I’m afraid that someone will offer a huge sum to have my child,” Lu Tianxing said with a laugh.

“No, it’s different.

I feel you’re deliberately hiding something.

On the surface, you may be all smiles and jokes, but inside—deep down—I sense that you’re very cold, very lonely, and unwilling to let anyone understand you.”

Lin Qianru looked at Lu Tianxing, hoping to see some hint in him, but she was bound to be disappointed.

Lu Tianxing’s face was as calm as water, not even a ripple in his gaze.

“So lonely, how’s that possible?”

Lu Tianxing grinned, “President Lin, you really have a sense of humor.

I tease you at work, hang out at bars after work, flirt around a bit, do things people enjoy seeing, or go home and sleep with my—wife—in my arms.

Life couldn’t be better.

How could I possibly be as lonely and isolated as you say.”

Lin Qianru gazed deeply at Lu Tianxing before finally letting out a long breath, “That’s exactly it, Lu Tianxing.

Even though you smile at me, you make me feel like you’re pushing people away a thousand miles.

This distance has penetrated deep into the marrow.

I don’t know what you have gone through that makes you unwilling to interact with others, but I want to tell you, the more you repress something, the more violent it will burst out eventually, and it can crush someone alive.”

The smile gradually disappeared from Lu Tianxing’s face as he silently lit a cigarette for himself and said indifferently, “Why would you say that?”

“A woman’s intuition.”

Lin Qianru spoke while looking at Lu Tianxing, “Do you remember when we first met on the plane?

We ran into hijackers, you killed those hijackers.

On the surface, you looked afraid and panicked, but I saw no fear in your eyes, not even a trace of disdain.

This showed that you didn’t take those hijackers seriously, even if that expression lasted only a flash, but I caught it.

Your reaction wasn’t that of an ordinary person after committing murder, and also at the company, you didn’t dodge by chance, but you already knew that Xiao Man was going to set you up, so you moved out of the way ahead of time.”

“I don’t know why you’re willing to be a lowly security guard, tolerating others’ disdain every day.

But what I want to say is that a real dragon will never settle in a small pond.

Eventually, it will soar into the sky and tell everyone with an invincible pose that I have returned.

This will happen whether you like it or not.”

Lu Tianxing fell silent; he had not expected Lin Qianru’s intuition to be so terrifying.

Lin Qianru was right; killing didn’t put any pressure on him.

It could even make his blood boil, and a slight carelessness could send him into a rampage, oblivious to kinship.

It was precisely because of this that he had willingly returned to the city, hidden himself, and lived the life of an ordinary person.
