Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 344: Chapter 342 People Depend on Clothing

”Heh, if Bai Zhiqing were so easy to conquer, would I have waited until now? I would have long since had my fill of her, wiping my mouth clean after and fathering a chubby son.”

Listening to the dial tone on the other end of the phone, Lu Tianxing shook his head speechlessly. Capturing Bai Zhiqing’s heart was easier said than done. Casually tossing the phone aside, Lu Tianxing leaned back, gazing at the ceiling as he pondered over matters concerning the Night Wolf Mercenary Group.

Nowadays, the Night Wolf Mercenary Group was like a sharp thorn lodged in Bai Zhiqing’s heart—just the slightest misstep could cost her life.

Without eradicating the Night Wolf Mercenary Group, Bai Zhiqing would forever live amidst danger. Once the Night Wolf Mercenary Group decided to target her, they would certainly have absolute confidence in sending Bai Zhiqing to Hell.

Especially that Ye Lang, the leader of the Night Wolf Mercenary Group—he gave Lu Tianxing a feeling of apprehension. Ye Lang was ruthless and brutal in his ways, and extraordinarily powerful. If Ye Lang were to break through to the Mythical Realm, even Lu Tianxing wasn’t sure he could stop him.

”Night Wolf Mercenary Group, I hope you don’t provoke me. Otherwise, even if I have to search from the heavens to the netherworld, I will erase you completely from this world; I don’t care whether you have any backing.”

Lu Tianxing murmured to himself softly, a fleeting chill of murderous intent passing over him. Today’s events involving Bai Zhiqing made him feel the need to resolve this matter in the shortest time possible. The only pity was that Heavenly God remained like a shadow hidden in darkness, beyond any trace.

Time trickled by, and for the whole day, Bai Zhiqing stayed in her room without coming downstairs. She seemed unable to let go of the assassination attempt that had occurred earlier that day. Lu Tianxing, too, refrained from going up to comfort her. It was a hurdle Bai Zhiqing had to overcome by herself; others couldn’t help. Pressing down the issue in her heart for too long would have the opposite effect. Consolation would only temporarily distract her from these matters. Once it erupted, it would be like a sudden, unstoppable flood.

Just like some people who endure unhappy families for decades, only to one day face an irreparable tragedy over a trivial domestic dispute because of the emotional build-up over time.

Rather than that, Lu Tianxing preferred Bai Zhiqing to overcome this hurdle on her own, without his help. He believed she would be able to get through it.

As night fell and the lights began to glow, seeing that Bai Zhiqing had not come downstairs, Lu Tianxing busied himself in the kitchen for a while and came out with a bowl of egg noodles.

”Dong dong dong~.”

Just as he was about to fill his stomach and then go check on Bai Zhiqing, Lu Tianxing suddenly heard footsteps from upstairs. Following that, Bai Zhiqing, dressed in a black corseted gown, slowly descended the staircase.

Lu Tianxing was stunned, staring at Bai Zhiqing without blinking.

At this moment, Bai Zhiqing, clad in the black corseted gown, was imbued with nobility and elegance, like a sprite stepping out of the night—chilly and aristocratic, her fair skin a perfect complement to the black dress.

Lu Tianxing looked on, dumbfounded, admiration and appreciation flickering in his eyes. A beauty was, indeed, a beauty in any attire, but the feeling he got from Bai Zhiqing in a gown was altogether different.

When wearing her OL business suit, Bai Zhiqing struck him as the epitome of a business strongwoman—assertive, dominant, and icy. However, in a gown, she exuded the ambiance of a noble princess: refined, elegant, and dignified.

Approaching Lu Tianxing, especially upon seeing his infatuated gaze, Bai Zhiqing’s lips curled into a slightly smug smile, revealing a rather triumphant grin. It seemed her charm was quite potent after all—she had finally captivated this ruffian.

”Wife, you’re alright,” Lu Tianxing asked caringly.

”I’m fine.”

Bai Zhiqing gently shook her head, saying, ”Are you still eating? Don’t you know we have a charity gala to attend tonight? Hurry up and change.”

Lu Tianxing looked puzzled, ”Isn’t the gala starting at nine? It’s just past seven now, what’s there to worry about? We still have almost two hours!”

Bai Zhiqing patiently explained, ”The charity gala does indeed start at nine o’clock, but it will take at least half an hour to get there from here, and since it’s rush hour now, if we get stuck in traffic, it could take even longer. Don’t worry about being hungry; there will be food prepared for everyone at the event.”

Lu Tianxing sighed, regretfully putting down the noodles in his hand, ”Alright then! I’ll listen to you and go upstairs to change.”

”Listening to me is the right choice.”

A smile flashed across Bai Zhiqing’s pretty face as she said softly, ”I’ve prepared your clothes for you; they’re in the room, go change.”

”What? Wife, you’ve prepared clothes for me? Heh, how shall this humble one repay you? If nothing else works, how about dedicating my body to you, or if that’s not acceptable, maybe a kiss as thanks, hahahaha....”

Lu Tianxing chuckled, then suddenly leaned in and, before Bai Zhiqing could react, quickly pecked her on the cheek and dashed upstairs.

”Lu Tianxing, you scoundrel, kissing me without my permission. If you dare to do this again, beware, I won’t be so nice to you next time.”

Touching the spot where she had been kissed, Bai Zhiqing’s face was flushed with a blissful smile on her face.

”Could this be what liking someone feels like?”

A thought flashed through Bai Zhiqing’s mind, sweet and hard to let go of.

Soon, Lu Tianxing came back down from upstairs, the fitting black suit accentuating his bearing perfectly. His devil-may-care smile added a touch of charm, making him look like a dashing gentleman of chaotic times, exuding a wicked allure that was hard to forget with just one glance.

Bai Zhiqing casually glanced at Lu Tianxing and found herself momentarily stunned, her eyes showing a hint of curiosity. What on earth had this guy done before? The well-tailored suit made him seem like a noble prince, the sloppiness vanished, and his wolfish smile actually looked rakish now.

It’s true what they say, clothes make the man, and the Buddha is clothed in gold, but this transformation seemed too radical, as if changing clothes was like becoming a different person.

Bai Zhiqing’s eyes widened as she stared at Lu Tianxing, almost thinking the man before her was Lu Tianxing’s twin brother if not for what he said next.

”Wife, how about it, are you stunned? Do you think I look really handsome, fitting the image of the Prince Charming in your mind, feeling like you’ve hit the jackpot by marrying me?” Lu Tianxing said with a mischievous smile, approaching Bai Zhiqing.

”Prince Charming? You’re at best a Black Donkey Prince.”

Bai Zhiqing rolled her eyes at Lu Tianxing, then suddenly noticed his collar was flipped the wrong way, saying reproachfully, ”Look at you, can’t even dress properly; your collar is turned up.”

Walking up to Lu Tianxing, Bai Zhiqing naturally reached out to fix his collar for him.

Lu Tianxing was momentarily taken aback. Breathing in the fresh and subtle fragrance, he looked at Bai Zhiqing’s serious expression. Warmth welled up in his heart as her gesture reminded him of a scene from a movie where a wife adjusts her husband’s clothes before he leaves home.

This tenderness made Lu Tianxing feel like pulling Bai Zhiqing into an embrace.
