Chapter 336: Chapter 334 Bai Zhiqing’s Questioning

”Qian Ru, I’m going home first, take good care of yourself at home, and remember not to use the alarm clock in the morning, or it will be bad for your health. Also, if anyone comes to trouble you, just come to me, and I’ll take care of it.”

Standing at the door, Lu Tianxing gently embraced Lin Qian Ru.

”Mm, you be careful on your way too.”

Just like a little wife, Lin Qian Ru stood in front of Lu Tianxing, straightening his clothes for him.

Seeing the clothes she had bought on Lu Tianxing, Lin Qian Ru’s face carried a satisfied smile.

Lu Tianxing didn’t hesitate anymore, kissed Lin Qian Ru on the lips, then turned around and left the place.

Watching Lu Tianxing leave, entering the elevator and disappearing after, only then did Lin Qian Ru turn around and head back to her room. Her love was humble; she didn’t need Lu Tianxing to be by her side all the time. She only hoped that Lu Tianxing would remember her suddenly at some time, remember that there was a woman who once loved him, that would be enough.

Lu Tianxing walked down the stairs and lit a cigarette for himself, taking in the surrounding scenery with a deep breath. At the entrance of the neighborhood, he flagged down a taxi and headed back to Ziyuan District.

Meanwhile, at No. 66 Zi Yuan Villa, Bai Zhiqing sat in the room. Today was Saturday, a rare day off. She sat on the sofa, her gaze fixed on the television, but her thoughts were drifting off to who knows where.

Last night, Lu Tianxing had not returned home all night, giving her a sudden bad premonition. After all, Lu Tianxing had drunk more than half a bottle of tiger bone liquor the night before, and in the morning, he had some turtle soup, all of which were tonics tending to strengthen a man’s vigor. On any normal man, such things could cause issues.

The thought that Lu Tianxing might have spent the whole night with some woman, or even several women, rolling around in the sheets, made Bai Zhiqing feel a wave of tightness in her heart, as if something had disappeared.

Yet she was powerless about the situation. Although she and Lu Tianxing were considered husband and wife, they had not engaged in any relation apart from that one confused incidence, leaving her unable to confront Lu Tianxing. After all, as a wife who couldn’t fulfill the obligations of being one, what right did she have to speak?

As time passed, however, Bai Zhiqing found herself caring more and more for Lu Tianxing. Every day she didn’t see Lu Tianxing, she felt listless, without interest in anything, her mood plummeting to a low. Things that once seemed fun to her had become dull and tasteless.

”Jerk, this jerk, when he comes back, I’ll definitely teach him a lesson, making him stay out all night.”

Fuming with anger in her heart, Bai Zhiqing pounded on a doll, imagining it was Lu Tianxing.

Just then, the door suddenly made a noise, Bai Zhiqing’s expression turned serious, she swiftly adjusted her feelings, fixing her gaze on the TV, but her ears stood tall, listening carefully to any movement outside the door.

Lu Tianxing pushed the door open and walked in to see Bai Zhiqing completely absorbed in watching TV, which made him suspicious. He hadn’t come home all night, and yet Bai Zhiqing was not scowling at him—which seemed a little too abnormal. Could it be the calm before the storm?

Lu Tianxing shivered and tiptoed to Bai Zhiqing, whispering, ”Wife, watching TV?”

Bai Zhiqing kept staring at the television as if she hadn’t heard Lu Tianxing speak.

Lu Tianxing paused and continued, ”Wife, such a childlike innocence, still enjoying Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf. Is that why you like to wear cartoon underpants?”

”Swoosh!”

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhiqing turned her head sharply, staring at Lu Tianxing and said word by word, ”Lu Tianxing, what did you say? I didn’t catch that.”

”Nothing, nothing. Wife, I was saying your childlike innocence is good. You should keep it up; it can make you feel eighteen every year.”

Lu Tianxing gave a sheepish smile, but Bai Zhiqing’s expression clearly told him that she was in a very bad mood, ”Honey, you keep watching, don’t mind me, I’ll head back to the room first.”

With that, Lu Tianxing attempted to sneak away—as far from trouble as possible was his best course of action.

”Stop right there.”

Bai Zhiqing suddenly threw aside the remote control, looked at Lu Tianxing with a cold laugh, and said, ”Lu Tianxing, don’t you think you owe me an explanation about where you were last night?”

”I didn’t go anywhere, remember? I told you last night that I met a friend, what’s wrong?” Lu Tianxing turned his head back and said innocently.

”Met a friend?”

Bai Zhiqing scoffed and said, ”Lu Tianxing, do you take me for a fool? Is meeting a friend a good reason to change your clothes? Was it a girlfriend you met?”

”What girlfriend? I accidentally fell on my way back, and my clothes got dirty. I specifically bought these clothes from a store,” he said.

Lu Tianxing knew Bai Zhiqing wouldn’t give up until she achieved her goal, so he immediately started playing Tai Chi.

Bai Zhiqing coldly snorted, ”So you just happened to get dirty from a fall? How coincidental. Since you bought a piece of clothing, then tell me which store it was and where the receipt is! Take me to that store and let’s have a look.”

”I threw the receipt away. The store was about to close at that time. Besides, with such a big crowd at the store, how could anyone possibly remember me?” Lu Tianxing said without blushing or skipping a beat.

”Really?”

On Bai Zhiqing’s face appeared a cold smile, ”Lu Tianxing, don’t forget, stores have surveillance cameras. It’s no big deal for me to check the footage. Don’t tell me the store’s cameras just happened to break as well.”

”If... if I said that it just so happened like that, would you believe me?”

Lu Tianxing looked at Bai Zhiqing warily. It felt like Bai Zhiqing was trying to drive him to his death. He should have come up with a more reliable excuse in advance.

Bai Zhiqing coldly snorted, crossed her arms and looked at Lu Tianxing, her answer going without saying.

”Alright! Last night I got into a fight, killed a person, and my clothes got ripped apart, so I bought a new set to wear. It’s really that simple.”

Bai Zhiqing coldly laughed, ”Then you tell me, where are your clothes? Where is the body of the person you killed? Take me to see.”

”Ah!”

Lu Tianxing was startled. He wished he could take Bai Zhiqing to see, but the problem was that Tan Si’s body had already been thrown into a mountain stream by him, and by now it was probably eaten by something—no body to be found, perhaps a few bones, but who would believe that?

”This isn’t quite appropriate, you know! You’re a woman, and that guy, he died in a pretty gruesome way, even his bones got broken...”

Before Lu Tianxing could finish his sentence, Bai Zhiqing directly cut him off, ”Lu Tianxing, if you plan on lying in the future, please come up with a more believable excuse. You’re talking about killing someone, breaking bones, do you even believe such a story yourself?”
