Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

69: Chapter 68 Heartache 69: Chapter 68 Heartache “Deceive you?

Do I need to deceive trash like you?

Are you even worth my time to deceive?

Believe it or not, that’s up to you.”

Lu Tianxing couldn’t be bothered to say anything more, his cold gaze swept over Zhao Lin and then landed on Bai Zhiqing.

“You have my number.

If you think I didn’t respect your senior’s face and embarrassed you, just call me.

I’ll wait for you at the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Goodbye.”

After saying this, Lu Tianxing headed straight for the exit.

Bai Zhiqing felt a sourness in her heart, a sharp pain as if being ripped apart surged within her chest, and an urge to cry welled up inside her.

There was once a time when this man used his body to shield her from a fatal bullet, even declaring his intention to win her heart, but now, he spoke of divorce between them!

Divorce!

As soon as the word emerged in her mind, Bai Zhiqing immediately felt a searing pain in her heart, and an urge to cry.

She wanted to apologize, yet a streak of stubbornness buried deep within her made it impossible to do so, leaving her only to say, “Lu Tianxing, stop right there.

I command you, as your wife.”

Lu Tianxing had no intention of stopping, and he left without looking back.

Watching Lu Tianxing’s unfeeling departure, Bai Zhiqing felt an inexplicable heartache, as if the moment Lu Tianxing stepped out of this room, they would belong to two different worlds and she would lose him forever.

“Bang!”

The sound of the door shutting snapped Bai Zhiqing back to reality.

No longer caring about Zhao Lin’s displeased expression, she hurriedly rushed out of the office only to find no trace of Lu Tianxing.

She wanted to go after him, but her pride prevented her feet from moving an inch, leaving her to just stare blankly at the elevator entrance, lost in thought.

“Zhiqing, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault.

I didn’t realize your husband would react so strongly,” Zhao Lin said apologetically as he walked out of the office, looking genuinely remorseful.

Bai Zhiqing glanced at Zhao Lin with indifference, her expression returning to one of cold detachment, exuding the aura of a powerful woman.

She spoke lightly, “Manager Zhao, there is nothing between us.

Just call me Mr.

Bai or Chairman Bai.

I don’t want my husband to misunderstand anything.”

“Zhiqing, I…”

Zhao Lin suddenly became flustered.

He had noticed that Bai Zhiqing and Lu Tianxing didn’t seem to have much of a relationship, but he didn’t expect her to react so strongly after Lu Tianxing left.

“I am going to say this one last time, call me Chairman Bai,”

Bai Zhiqing coldly cut Zhao Lin off, her voice filled with chilliness, “Manager Zhao, are you satisfied with this outcome?

If you are willing to discuss the cooperation between our two companies, we can start right now.

If there’s nothing else, I would like you to leave, and take your flowers with you.

I don’t like them.

Also, I hope not to hear such remarks again, otherwise, there will be no chance of cooperation between our companies.”

…

Lu Tianxing was completely unaware of the changes in Bai Zhiqing after he left.

Upon stepping out of the Chairman’s office, he took a deep breath, thought it over, and then decided to head toward the sales department.

In the entire Bai’s Group, he knew only a few people, and Lin Qianru was the only one he got along with.

He planned to seek refuge with Lin Qianru for a while.

Thinking back to the scene in Bai Zhiqing’s office just moments ago, Lu Tianxing sighed deeply.

He knew that Zhao Lin was deliberately provoking him in such a manner, but he had no choice but to become angry, even if it meant falling out with Bai Zhiqing.

In his heart, a soldier’s honor is sacrosanct and Zhao Lin’s actions directly crossed a line.

If not now, when would he take a stand?

“It seems we’ve completely fallen out this time.

Perhaps it’s about time I moved out of the Ziyuan District.

That would be better, you won’t be troubled anymore.

From now on, you go your sunny path, and I’ll cross my log bridge.

Maybe, I was never meant for this kind of life.”

Lu Tianxing took a deep breath, his face adorned with a bittersweet smile as he lowered his head slightly.

When he lifted his gaze again, a playful, devil-may-care grin had returned to his face.

He stepped into the elevator and headed for the sales department.

Meanwhile, in the sales department, Lin Qianru sat in her office looking vibrant and even more beautiful than usual.

A faint smile played on her lips, like a blossoming peony that made it difficult for others to look away.

It is often said that love is the best beauty treatment for a woman.

Lin Qianru was feeling exactly that.

When she saw Lu Tianxing again, her once-lonely heart seemed to have been nourished and came back to life.

Even though Lu Tianxing’s words sometimes infuriated her to the point of wanting to tear his mouth apart, there was no denying that Lu Tianxing had taken root in her heart.

Sitting in her office, Lin Qianru’s thoughts drifted back to their first meeting on the airplane.

Her cheeks couldn’t help but blush at the memory, accompanied by a trace of curiosity about who Lu Tianxing really was, why he had such incredible skills that not even a gun could touch him, and how he could use chopsticks to puncture someone’s palm from a distance, almost like the hidden weapons described in martial arts novels.

Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

Lin Qianru’s brows furrowed and her expression returned to its usual coolness as she said coldly, “Come in.”

“President Lin, Assistant Xu says he has something for you.”

Lin Qianru’s secretary stood in the doorway, and behind her, a man who was peering curiously into the office revealed a radiant smile upon seeing Lin Qianru.

“Lu Tianxing.”

Lin Qianru felt a surge of joy in her heart, but her face revealed no emotion as she said, “Let him in.

In the future, if he needs to see me, let him come straight in without having to report first.

Now, you may go back to your duties.”

“Thanks for showing me the way, beautiful.

I’ll treat you to a meal next time.”

Lu Tianxing chuckled without caring for the secretary’s disdainful look.

He walked into the office, plopped down on the sofa beside him, legs on the coffee table, and casually lit a cigarette.

Staring at Lin Qianru, he said, “President Lin, I see sparkling eyes and flushed cheeks.

If I were to guess, you’ve got spring fever.”

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Lin Qianru’s face instantly turned red, and she gave him a fierce glare, “Why are you here?

You’ve just been promoted to assistant chairman and yet you dare to leave your office?

Aren’t you afraid the chairman will give you trouble?”

Seeing the concern on Lin Qianru’s pretty face, Lu Tianxing felt his annoyance subside considerably, and he said with a cheeky grin, “What’s there to worry about?

I’ve already offended her.”

“You’ve offended Chairman Bai?”

Lin Qianru was shocked.

Bai Zhiqing was famously impartial and stern, and now that Lu Tianxing had crossed her, not getting fired would be the best-case scenario.

Lu Tianxing took a drag on his cigarette, appearing unconcerned, “Do you know Zhao Lin?”

Lin Qianru nodded.

How could she not know Zhao Lin?

He was the general manager of Xiangjiang Linhua Security Company, which had a good reputation in Xiangjiang.

Besides, Zhao Lin was once a schoolmate of Bai Zhiqing’s and had pursued her, only to be directly rejected after previously collaborating with Bai’s Group.

“Don’t tell me you’ve crossed Zhao Lin,” Lin Qianru said, astonished as she looked at Lu Tianxing.

Lu Tianxing nodded and replied, “You know me—I just can’t stand people bragging in front of me.

This guy dared to show off and even lied to my most respected chairman right in front of me.

Of course, I couldn’t stand it, so I exploded.

I burst his bubble and gave the chairman an earful, calling her a naive and silly girl who would believe anything, even the kind of nonsense that would trick a child.”
