Chapter 422: Chapter 420 Yue Tingting’s Choice

The kiss lasted for two full minutes. Feeling that Yue Tingting was struggling to breathe, Lu Tianxing finally let her go. He looked at Yue Tingting, who was gasping heavily and as red as a cooked shrimp, and fell silent for a moment before he gently sighed, ”Tingting, have you really made up your mind? I don’t want to deceive you in any way. As you’ve seen, there are other women in my life, and you might not be the last one either. Even I find myself shameless for saying this, but it’s something you need to know. I’ve been through a lot, and these experiences prevent me from providing you with the stable life you desire. If you want me to be good to you and only you, to love only you for the rest of my life, I’m afraid I am bound to disappoint you.”

”Moreover, you should also know about my affairs with Qian Ru. You probably already have your answer in mind, and I don’t want to hide this from you. So, I’m not cut out to be a good husband, and I can’t give you the kind of love you desire....”

Lu Tianxing said quietly, while Yue Tingting listened silently.

Yue Tingting was a good girl, and Lu Tianxing was well aware of her love for him, but certain things needed to be made clear. Indecision could cause chaos; if Yue Tingting said they should just remain friends from now on, he wouldn’t mind. You could be fickle, you could be romantic, but you should never let a woman wait in vain, wasting her youth for you. Unable to provide the perfect love Yue Tingting desired, it was better to cut the Gordian knot and part ways than to continue in a hopeless situation.

This was Lu Tianxing’s character, never forcing anyone to like him. Sometimes letting go was the best choice.

Of course, Lu Tianxing wasn’t one to forget old affections for new, nor did he abandon commitments easily. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have stormed into White Tiger Hall alone out of anger for Rose, wiping it clean, nor would he have shielded Bai Zhiqing with his body from a lethal bullet. Knowing that going to Hang City was fraught with danger, he still willingly accompanied Lin Qianru back.

Having experienced so much life and death made Lu Tianxing adopt a laissez-faire attitude towards life, unconstrained by societal norms.

Sharing one man among several women is something any woman might find unbearable.

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Yue Tingting looked pained and fell into silence. She was just an ordinary girl whose only dream was to one day walk hand-in-hand into marriage with the man she loved, not to share him with other women, never able to step into the light of day, always hiding in the shadows.

If it had been anyone else telling her this, she would have slapped them and walked away. But facing Lu Tianxing, she hesitated and became conflicted.

”Haha!”

After waiting for ten minutes and seeing that Yue Tingting remained silent, head bowed, Lu Tianxing’s face showed a self-deprecating bitter smile. He shook his head, realizing that Yue Tingting probably couldn’t accept this situation after all. But perhaps it was for the best, to spare future difficulties. Indecision leads to chaos, so it’s better to make a clean break now.

”Tingting, your body isn’t well yet, lie down on the bed and rest. I’ll go out and call your uncle and the others.”

Lu Tianxing gently stroked Yue Tingting’s hair, then stood and walked towards the door.

”Brother Lu, wait.”

Seeing Lu Tianxing leaving, Yue Tingting snapped out of it, couldn’t care less about anything else, and abruptly got up from the sickbed, throwing herself into Lu Tianxing’s arms, her arms tightly embracing him.

”Brother Lu, don’t leave. I’ve cleared my mind. It doesn’t matter to me whether you have other women now, or if there will be other women in the future. I only know that I love you, I want to be with you, I don’t want to miss out on you, I don’t want to regret today’s decision when I’m old.”

Yue Tingting’s voice carried a hint of crying when she saw Lu Tianxing turn around to leave. She felt herself crumbling, her heart aching painfully. It seemed that from that moment on, she and Lu Tianxing would just become ordinary friends, forever two parallel lines that would never intersect again—a scenario she absolutely didn’t want to see.

”Silly girl, why torture yourself? You don’t have to demean yourself. Even though we are not a couple, you are still my dearest sister,” Lu Tianxing said tenderly as he stroked Yue Tingting’s hair with a smile.

Yue Tingting lifted her head, her eyes resolute as she said, ”Brother Lu, I don’t want to be your sister; I want to be your wife, even if it’s hidden from the sunlight. Sister Qian Ru once told me that if one has pursued something, even if they grow old, they won’t regret it. I don’t want to grow old and regret the decision I made today.”

”Are you sure?”

Lu Tianxing gently wiped away the tears on Yue Tingting’s face with his hand.

”Yes! I’ve liked you, Brother Lu, ever since the moment you rescued me. I don’t ask for much; I only hope that you’ll always remember in your heart that there’s such a silly girl who loves you,” Yue Tingting declared firmly.

This was Yue Tingting, a stubborn girl.

”What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean ’always remember you,’ as if you won’t live much longer? Don’t worry, as long as Brother Lu is here, you will be safe and sound. Moreover, I want you to give me lots of sons,” he said lightly patting Yue Tingting’s back and settling her back onto the bed.

Yue Tingting trembled as Lu Tianxing patted her, feeling a current spread throughout her body, which made the courage she had just mustered vanish completely. She blushed deeply; this was the first time Lu Tianxing had ever spanked her, leaving her heart with an unusual sensation.

”Brother Lu, you are so bad... I... I won’t talk to you anymore.”

Seeing Lu Tianxing’s half-smiling gaze, Yue Tingting’s face turned red as blood. She suddenly pulled up the blanket, covering her head with it.

Lu Tianxing looked on with a resigned expression. If it weren’t for the touch he felt on his hand, he would almost doubt that the bold person just now was Yue Tingting.

”Alright, stop being shy. Rest well. I’ll go out and call your uncle and aunt to come in, so they won’t worry too much about you. For the time being, you need to stay in the hospital and rest, understand? Don’t worry about anything else; I’ll handle it. Your priority is to recover. And if you get skinny from hunger, don’t blame me for being strict.”

Lu Tianxing gently patted Yue Tingting’s back through the blanket, stood up, and opened the door to leave the hospital room.
