Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 280: Chapter 278: Eating a Meal

Hearing Rose’s deeply affectionate words, Lu Tianxing was momentarily at a loss for words. He knew that Rose loved him, but he had never imagined she would love him so profoundly that she was even willing to become a demoness scorned by thousands just for his sake.

This love was too heavy, as weighty as Mount Tai, pressing down heavily on his heart.

Rose, just like Lin Qianru, loved in a humble way. They did not need their man to stay by their side all the time, nor did they need him to constantly think about them. They only hoped that their man would live a safe and peaceful life, which was enough for them.

Seeing the weariness behind Rose’s makeup, Lu Tianxing felt a pang of heartache. His fingers gently caressed Rose’s alchemy tools. He could imagine how this woman had stayed up all night worried about him the night before.

”Rose, do I deserve such tremendous efforts from you?”

Lu Tianxing sighed softly as if he had made a major decision, cupped Rose’s delicate face, and declared firmly, ”Rose, thank you. I promise you, I will give you a legitimate wedding and proclaim to everyone that you are Lu Tianxing’s woman.”

Upon hearing this, Rose was momentarily stunned, feeling as if a bolt of lightning had exploded beside her ear. She looked at Lu Tianxing in disbelief, her voice trembling as she asked, ”Husband, what... what did you say?”

”I said I will definitely give you a complete wedding, and let everyone know that you are Lu Tianxing’s wife,” Lu Tianxing spoke again. His voice was softer this time, yet it carried an assertive tone.

”Husband, are you... are you serious?”

Rose trembled slightly, her face filled with disbelief. She had never yearned for these things, but upon actually hearing Lu Tianxing say so, Rose felt as if her heart was melting.

”Truly,” he confirmed.

Lu Tianxing nodded firmly and gently held Rose in his arms.

Lying in Lu Tianxing’s embrace, feeling his strong and steady heartbeat, Rose felt she was the happiest woman in the world at that moment. All her previous sacrifices seemed wholly worthwhile.

”Rose, what are your plans moving forward?” Lu Tianxing asked softly while holding Rose.

”I don’t know. Rose Society may have completely fallen out with the authorities this time. The authorities want a blade they can control, not a double-edged sword that harms both sides. The actions of Rose Society have thoroughly rattled the higher-ups. It might not be long before they find reasons one by one to gradually dismantle the power of Rose Society.”

Rose sighed deeply. This time, due to her association with Lu Tianxing, Rose Society was completely at odds with the authorities and had become the thorn in the side of many higher-ups. It seemed that for a while, Rose Society might struggle to move forward.

”But none of that matters anymore,” she stated.

Rose took a deep breath and a radiant smile appeared on her face, ”As long as you are alright, I don’t care about Rose Society. If I could start Rose Society from scratch, I could just as easily start another one. It’s no big deal.”

Seeing Rose’s forced smile, Lu Tianxing tenderly stroked her cheek, ”Don’t worry, I assure you Rose Society will be alright. Not only that, but it won’t be long before Rose Society becomes the true ruler of Modu, an unmatched underground king.”

”Giggling, then this little woman will have to rely on your care in the future,” Rose said.

Rose covered her mouth and chuckled, not taking Lu Tianxing’s words to heart, considering them merely as his way of comforting her.

After a while of tender closeness with Lu Tianxing, Rose finally let go of him and resumed her seat, clapping her hands towards the outside.

Soon, several waiters pushed in carts one by one from outside, placing stacks of exquisite dishes on the table. The rich aroma of the food immediately spread out, increasing everyone’s appetite as their stomachs began to rumble.

”Husband, shall we drink?” Rose asked after all the dishes were served.

”Having a bottle isn’t a bad idea.”

Rose nodded and gestured to a nearby waiter, who quickly came in holding a tray with two unlabeled bottles of sake, wrapped in bamboo, and placed them on the table.

”This is a self-brewed bamboo sake from Lingshui Xiangxie, restored from ancient recipes. Although it’s unlabeled, it’s something you usually can’t get your hands on; its annual production doesn’t exceed ten kilograms.”

As she explained to Lu Tianxing, Rose grabbed a luminescent green cup and poured the wine for both herself and Lu Tianxing.

The wine, combined with the luminescent green cups, swayed gently, resembling a bamboo sea fluttered by the wind. A fresh, crisp fragrance unfolded, making one feel as if they were amidst bamboo, with the breeze blowing and the bamboo rustling, all refreshing to the soul.

”Good wine.”

Lu Tianxing took a deep breath and exclaimed in admiration. Although he was not a frequent drinker and didn’t know much about wine, the fragrance alone was enough to tell it was exquisite, no wonder its production was so limited.

”Have a sip and try.”

Bending down, Rose handed a cup to Lu Tianxing, resembling an ancient scene of a concubine serving her lord.

Lu Tianxing was not pretentious; he took the cup and drank it all at once. Instantly, a fresh and crisp taste exploded in his mouth. As soon as it hit his stomach, it turned into a raging flame that spread throughout his body, making him feel as though he was in a furnace, yet without any discomfort, instead giving him a sensation of being invigorated.

”Good wine.”

Lu Tianxing praised again, exhaling deeply.

”Of course, this is the treasure of Lingshui Xiangxie. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have been able to try it, no matter how much money you had,” Rose said, her lips curving into a proud smile.

”Yes, yes, my Rose is the most amazing. But no matter how amazing you are, you still need to eat. Come on, open up.”

”Husband, can you not treat me like a child, please? Still feeding me with chopsticks.”

”Not using chopsticks? You mean you want to use~ a kiss?”

”That could work.”

”That definitely couldn’t.”

After a cozy lunch at Lingshui Xiangxie, Lu Tianxing escorted Rose back to Zero Point Bar, asked her to keep an eye on Sword Alliance, and then left Zero Point Bar.

He had just hailed a taxi, ready to head back to Bai’s Group, when his phone in his pocket chimed with a pleasant ringtone. Lu Tianxing was startled, wondering who it could be this time. When he saw the caller ID, a look of surprise crossed his face.

Lin Yafei, why is this girl suddenly calling?
