Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 323: Chapter 321 Offer Help When It’s Not Needed

Meanwhile, in No. 66 Zi Yuan Villa of the Ziyuan District, Bai Zhiqing was still curled up in the corner of the bed, sleepless, staring blankly at the door, waiting for Lu Tianxing to return.

”Lu Tianxing, where on earth have you gone, were you really just out for a walk, did you really not lie to me?”

Bai Zhiqing curled up, whispering to herself in a low voice, like a wounded little animal staying in the corner, licking its wounds alone.

Time trickled away by the minute and second, ten minutes, fifteen minutes, twenty minutes....

It was uncertain how much time had passed when the tightly closed bedroom door was suddenly pushed open, and a figure stepped in from the outside, with one hand behind his back, as if hiding something.

Bai Zhiqing saw this familiar figure appear, and immediately jumped down from the bed, her face showing strong surprise, ”Lu Tianxing, you’re back....”

”Wife, why haven’t you gone to sleep?”

Lu Tianxing shivered, surprised at the sight of Bai Zhiqing.

From the moment he left home to when he rushed back, it took him nearly three hours; he never expected that Bai Zhiqing would wait for him for three hours without sleeping.

”I couldn’t sleep.”

Bai Zhiqing looked at Lu Tianxing, gently shaking her head, and it wasn’t until she saw him appear before her that she felt her wandering heart, like a lone boat in a gale and torrential rain, suddenly find its harbor to anchor in, becoming calm.

”It’s okay, I’m back now, aren’t I? Wife, look, I even brought you back a gift, see if you like it.”

Lu Tianxing chuckled, like performing a magic trick, the hand that was hidden behind him suddenly stretching out in front of Bai Zhiqing, revealing a bunch of bright roses.

”What beautiful roses, Lu Tianxing, you....”

Bai Zhiqing looked dazedly at the roses, feeling a sudden tenderness in her nose, an urge to cry, even though countless people had given her roses before, she had never felt so moved as she did today.

”How about it, wife, do you like them? These are from a bunch of flower shops I walked by, absolutely fresh, just picked roses. Smell them, aren’t they fragrant?” boasted Lu Tianxing proudly.

This bunch of roses was something he bought on his way back home, upon encountering a flower seller, taking them off her hands casually; of course, this definitely couldn’t be told to Bai Zhiqing, otherwise, letting Bai Zhiqing know that he had bought them casually, she would probably throw the roses in his face.

Sometimes a kind lie is far more appropriate than the truth.

”I like them very much.”

Bai Zhiqing nodded gently, then suddenly seemed to remember something, her eyes shimmering with a dangerous look, she stared fixedly at Lu Tianxing, ”There’s an old saying that goes, someone offering unsolicited favors is up to no good, either treachery or theft. Lu Tianxing, you’ve never thought of giving me flowers before, why did you suddenly think of bringing me flowers tonight? Confess honestly, did you do something to betray me while you were out, so you feel guilty inside, and that’s why you decided to give me flowers to compensate for your guilty conscience? Confess honestly.”

A man who offers unsolicited favors surely has an ulterior motive; a man who suddenly showers his wife with attention has definitely done something wrong and wants to please his wife to dispel his guilt—it was a saying that Bai Zhiqing read on the internet, and now she thought it was indeed true.

Lu Tianxing’s face darkened, and he said speechlessly, ”Wife, am I really that untrustworthy in your eyes?”

Bai Zhiqing retorted, ”Do you deserve my trust?”

Lu Tianxing rolled his eyes, a look of intoxication on his face, ”Alright then! You guessed right, while I was out strolling, I went to a massage parlor for a full-service session, hooked up with a few beauties for a life-and-death struggle, and only after finishing did I come back. Just thinking about it is nostalgic.”

”Then on my way back, I met a pretty flower seller, and she told me it was too late, and she was going home, but she had only this bunch of flowers left unsold. If I bought her flowers, she would give me a kiss; so I bought this bunch of roses, and got a hot kiss from her.”

”After that, I found the roses cumbersome and was about to throw them away. Just when I was about to toss them in the trash, I saw a man giving his girlfriend flowers, and thought it’d be a shame to throw them away. I decided to take them home to give to Bai Zhiqing instead; after all, she wouldn’t know where they were from. If she were to ask, I’d just say I bought them from a flower shop, maybe I could get a kiss from the beauty, so I brought them back.”

Having said that, Lu Tianxing smacked his lips as if savoring the memory, and with an expectant face added, ”Wife, are you going to give me a kiss now?”

”Give you a big fat nothing.”

Bai Zhiqing picked up a pillow and smacked it onto Lu Tianxing’s head, disdainfully saying, ”Next time you brag, you might want to draft it first. With that look of yours, who would ever take the initiative to give you a kiss, please.”

”Hehe, my wife knows me best.”

Lu Tianxing laughed heartily, ”Wife, do you like these roses?”

Clasping the roses, Bai Zhiqing’s eyes shimmered as she looked at Lu Tianxing. Instead of answering his question, she asked, ”Lu Tianxing, why are you so good to me? Is it worth it?”

Lu Tianxing fell silent, watching Bai Zhiqing tenderly before slowly saying, ”No reason. You’re my wife. If I’m not good to you, who will be?”

”Lu Tianxing, you...”

Bai Zhiqing’s eyes began to redden as she looked at him, choking up. This was the phrase she heard most often; every time Lu Tianxing would shield her from a crisis, he repeated these words to her.

”Stop ’you’ this and ’you’ that, and stop crying. Careful or your eyes will be as swollen as peaches tomorrow morning, and you’ll be the laughingstock at work.”

Lu Tianxing raised his hand, tenderly caressing Bai Zhiqing’s cheek and wiping away her tears.

”Who’s crying? I haven’t cried,” Bai Zhiqing snorted, managing to sneer.

”Then why did I just see someone’s face wet with tears? Oh, my hand is all wet. Could it be raining inside the room? And it seems like a heavy rain, too,” Lu Tianxing snickered mischievously.

”Who said I was crying? I just got sand in my eye.”

”Sand in your eye?”

”Yes, sand in my eye.”

”But you’re inside the room, and this isn’t Beijing, it’s the coast; there’s no sand here.”

”If I say it’s sand in my eye, then it’s sand in my eye. Do you have a problem with that?”

Bai Zhiqing glared at Lu Tianxing, teeth gritted, a dangerous glint in her beautiful eyes. Why must this bastard bring up the most annoying topics?

”Right, sand in your eye. Sigh, such strong sand, indeed, to have blown all this way to the coast, even making it through the window to get in our Chairman Bai’s eye. Tsk tsk, truly the sand of sands in strength.”

”Lu Tianxing, you... you’re bullying me. I’m going to tell Grandpa.”

As she spoke, Bai Zhiqing’s eyes filled with tears again.

Seeing this, Lu Tianxing was immediately taken aback. What’s this all about? He seemed to have done nothing wrong. Could it be a mistake to even agree?

”Wife, don’t cry. It’s the middle of the night; if you keep crying, you’ll call the wolves.”

”Lu Tianxing, you’re the one who’d call the wolves. Just go die already.”

Angered and embarrassed, Bai Zhiqing grabbed a pillow and started beating Lu Tianxing relentlessly.

”You can’t hit me! Haha, wife, not to brag, but you’re so weak, I could beat a hundred of you with just one hand.”

”You’re the weak one! Lu Tianxing, tonight, it’s either you or me. I’m taking you down with me.”
