Chapter 272: Chapter 270 Lin Qianru’s Heart (2nd Update)

Without a doubt, by the time Lu Tianxing had finished enjoying a delicious meal and hummed a tune on his way to Bai’s Group, it was already after nine in the morning, he was more than an hour late.

As for Lu Tianxing’s tardiness, the people at Bai’s Group had long since grown accustomed to it and found nothing strange about it. In fact, if Lu Tianxing ever came to work on time, that would be the true oddity at Bai’s Group.

However, when everyone saw Lu Tianxing, they all looked at him with surprised, as-if-they’d-seen-a-ghost expressions. News of Lu Tianxing being taken away by the police had spread throughout Bai’s Group the day before.

Furthermore, the news from Vice President Lin Yao claimed that Lu Tianxing was a murder fugitive who had concealed his identity and infiltrated Bai’s Group, only to be exposed and taken away by the police.

Now, less than a day later, Lu Tianxing was striding into Bai’s Group as if nothing had happened.

”This guy must have some formidable backing, otherwise, how could a fugitive dare to show up again?”

Everyone understood that Lu Tianxing definitely had elite backing; moreover, it was the kind that even Bai’s Group didn’t dare to provoke. No wonder he felt so emboldened to flirt openly in the company, ignoring all the company’s rules and regulations, and why Bai Zhiqing, known for being strictly impartial, hadn’t fired him. Having strong support evidently meant one could even cover up a fugitive status—perhaps even altering age records, not yet thirteen, therefore not legally accountable.

Compared to other people’s indifference and admiration, Vice President Lin Yao of Bai’s Group, who had had conflicts with Lu Tianxing, felt extremely displeased upon learning that Lu Tianxing had returned to Bai’s Group. After hearing that Lu Tianxing was taken by the police, he was thrilled, having celebrated the night with several ladies, to the point of feeling rather weak. And now, this son of a bitch had the audacity to show up again.

As much as he wanted to kick Lu Tianxing out, he felt helpless. Just that morning, he had proposed to Bai Zhiqing to fire Lu Tianxing, but before he could finish his words, he was rejected by Bai Zhiqing.

”Lu Tianxing, you’re lucky this time, but just you wait for what’s coming next.”

Lin Yao cursed bitterly in his heart, his expression dark and terrifying. He was determined to find a moment when he could get Lu Tianxing kicked out for good.

...

Lu Tianxing now felt extremely frustrated, incredibly so, and somewhat at a loss as he looked at Lin Qianru, who was crying her eyes out in front of him.

He had just entered the company, about to head to the chairman’s office via the elevator, when he was intercepted by Lin Qianru, who dragged him into an office, as though she had been specifically waiting for him.

In fact, that was exactly the case. Ever since she found out that Lu Tianxing was arrested, Lin Qianru felt as if just closing her eyes would bring forth visions of Lu Tianxing being tortured for a confession in prison, which left her so scared that she didn’t sleep at all, spending the whole night sitting on the sofa.

Early the next morning, she rushed to the company, stood at the office window overlooking the entrance to Bai’s Building, hoping to see Lu Tianxing appear at the first possible moment.

When she actually saw Lu Tianxing walk into the company, Lin Qianru couldn’t resist the impulsive feelings in her heart any longer. She dashed downstairs, oblivious to the stares of everyone around, and forcefully dragged Lu Tianxing into the office.

Looking at the face that haunted her dreams, Lin Qianru could no longer control her tears, which flowed down her face.

It turned out that a woman could fall for a man in a mere moment. After Lu Tianxing was taken away by the police, she felt as though the sky in her heart had completely collapsed. The whole world seemed to turn black and white, and even she herself had lost her soul, becoming a zombie.

”Lu Tianxing, I love you. I don’t ever want to leave you in this lifetime,” she said.

Unable to contain the tumultuous emotions inside her, Lin Qianru suddenly threw herself into Lu Tianxing’s arms, hugging him tightly, burying her head in his chest, inhaling his familiar scent. Lin Qianru felt her heart settle down immediately, the panic and anxiety dissipating without a trace, as if a storm-tossed ship had found its harbor of refuge.

”Lu Tianxing, promise me, never leave me silently again, okay?”

Lin Qianru raised her head, looking pitifully at Lu Tianxing with tears streaming down her cheeks. She was truly afraid of Lu Tianxing leaving her; without him, she did not know how to go on with her life.

Perhaps it was foolish, but how many women in love aren’t foolish!

”I will never leave you in my life, even if you want to leave, I will bind you to my side.”

Lu Tianxing held Lin Qianru tight, realizing that he might never be able to leave her after this.

How many women could cry for a man, and how many would stay up all night for him? A woman who cries over a man clearly holds him dearly in her heart, and even the smallest matters can occupy her thoughts constantly.

At this moment, Lu Tianxing felt moved; he discovered that he might have fallen for Lin Qianru. Even if this love wasn’t complete, he had indeed fallen for her.

”Mm, I believe you will not leave me, but we need to make a pinky promise.”

Lin Qianru looked up at Lu Tianxing, lifting her finger like a child, slowly raising it.

”Mm, hook pinkies and make a vow, not allowed to change for a hundred years.”

Lu Tianxing didn’t joke about Lin Qianru being childlike. Instead, he solemnly lifted his arm, hooking his pinky finger with Lin Qianru’s: ”Whoever reneges is a puppy.”

”I believe you won’t deceive me.”

Lin Qianru finally broke into a smile, her delicate face was like a pear blossom drenched in rain, with a charm that set hearts racing.

Lu Tianxing’s heart skipped a beat, and he gently wiped away the tears from Lin Qianru’s face, asking with concern, ”You have dark circles, didn’t you rest well last night?”

”Mm!”

Lin Qianru leaned softly against Lu Tianxing’s chest, whispering, ”I was constantly worried about you, afraid that something happened to you, and I couldn’t sleep. But now that I see you’re alright, I’m relieved.”

Lu Tianxing’s expression stiffened, and he said with a bitter smile, ”Qian Ru, is it worth it? I...”

”It’s worth it.”

Before Lu Tianxing could finish, Lin Qianru spoke up, her voice full of determination: ”As long as I feel it’s worth it, that’s enough. I don’t care whether you have a wife or not, I just want to cherish what I have now. If one day you grow tired of me, sick of me, and want to leave me, I hope you can tell me personally. Can you promise me that?”

Lin Qianru looked up at Lu Tianxing, her face resolute and persistent, her gaze directly meeting Lu Tianxing’s without any evasion.

Lu Tianxing quivered, not saying a word, but responding to Lin Qianru’s words with action instead.

Gently lifting Lin Qianru’s head, he kissed her red lips. Lin Qianru was taken aback, her body trembling slightly as she revealed a sweet smile, slowly closing her eyes to enjoy the gentleness from her man.

After the kiss, Lu Tianxing sat down in the office chair with Lin Qianru in his arms, pressing his hands on her temples, starting to relieve her fatigue.
