Chapter 500: Chapter 496 Bai Zhiqing’s Worries

Lu Tianxing parked the car steadily in front of the villa and turned to look at Lin Yafei.

In the passenger seat, Lin Yafei was fast asleep, resting against the seat like a docile kitten. Every now and then, she’d scrunch her nose, looking incredibly adorable.

”Lin Demon, wake up, wake up.”

Lu Tianxing patted Lin Yafei’s face, even though he knew that Lin Yafei had bought a villa here, he didn’t have the keys to any of the rooms.

Lin Yafei, still groggy, opened her eyes and looked around, asking, ”Tianxing, where have we arrived?”

”Purple Sandalwood Villa District, in front of the villa you bought in Modu.”

”Then just drive the car in.”

Lin Yafei fumbled for a room card from her pocket and handed it to Lu Tianxing, then closed her eyes again.

Seeing Lin Yafei asleep again, Lu Tianxing knew that today’s event had exhausted her. He didn’t try to wake her up again, but instead took the room card, got out of the car, and carried Lin Yafei into his arms before entering the villa.

It was a single-person villa, not very large, but decorated exquisitely on the inside.

Carrying Lin Yafei, he went directly to the second floor of the villa and chose a room that looked like it had been lived in before, pushing open the door.

”Creak!”

After a light sound, the door swung open. A faint, alluring fragrance wafted toward him, and Lu Tianxing immediately knew it wasn’t the scent of any perfume but the subtle fragrance emanating from Lin Yafei herself.

He walked into the room and turned on the light, proceeding to carry Lin Yafei to the bed, but she clung tightly to his neck and wouldn’t let go.

”You’re awake.”

”Mhm, I’ve been awake since you woke me up.”

Lin Yafei nodded, looking at Lu Tianxing who was close at hand, and revealed a mesmerizing smile, seductively saying, ”My hero, are you going to leave? Won’t you stay and take a mandarin duck bath with me before you go?”

Lu Tianxing froze for a moment, then gazed at Lin Yafei’s beguiling smile. He stretched out a hand to gently caress her pale face, whispering, ”Lin Demon, is it worth it? Honestly, I’m not worth all this.”

”It’s worth it.”

Lin Yafei’s face lit up with a radiant smile as she said, ”Do you remember the first time we met? You rescued me from a sea of misery. Since then, you have been my lifelong hero, the man Lin Yafei has chosen. For you, I have no regrets, for I always remember, at my most desperate moments, there will always be a great hero beside me, shielding me from it all.”

”I don’t ask for much, I just hope you can keep in mind that there’s this silly woman waiting for you. Don’t worry, I won’t disturb you and Zhiqing. I used to consider fighting for something, but after this event, I realized that loving someone doesn’t require possessing them; having a place in their heart is enough.”

”I thought I was surely done for this time, but once again, you appeared by my side like a hero, even without the seven-colored clouds or golden armor. But in my heart, you will always be my hero, forever protecting me.”

Saying this, Lin Yafei’s face revealed a sweet smile.

Seeing the happy smile on Lin Yafei’s face, Lu Tianxing felt a string in his heart being plucked, realizing he had never thought Lin Yafei would care to such an extent, willingly and uncomplainingly.

”You are a silly woman.”

Lu Tianxing sighed softly, holding Lin Yafei gently in his arms. Perhaps, he would never forget this woman in his lifetime. She was right, her actions had etched herself so deeply in his heart that he couldn’t forget her even if he wanted to.

Being held by Lu Tianxing, Lin Yafei felt all her uneasiness dissipate, and she grew calm, as if none of the tempests outside mattered to her anymore.

”You should go back. I’m fine,” Lin Yafei whispered as she lay on Lu Tianxing’s chest.

”But...”

”Don’t worry, I’m all right, you needn’t fret. I really don’t want to have your wife chasing me with a kitchen knife someday.”

Lin Yafei interrupted Lu Tianxing. Although she wished for him to stay, she was very clear about her own status. She didn’t ask for Lu Tianxing’s constant company, only for him to remember her, and what more, he had already proven today that she held a place in his heart. There was no need to be constantly together, nor did she want to put Lu Tianxing in a difficult position between them. A smart woman knows when to advance and retreat.

”Alright, you rest well. I’ll come to see you when I have time. Remember, don’t do anything foolish again. I’ll let this time slide, but if it happens again, I swear I’ll spank you so hard your bottom will bloom,” he threatened lightly.

Leaning down to kiss Lin Yafei’s cheek, Lu Tianxing turned and left the villa. Pulling out his phone, he called Li Xiaofeng, and without lingering further, he departed.

As for Lin Yafei’s situation, Lu Tianxing didn’t dwell on it. Let the boat straighten itself at the bridgehead; there’s always a village beyond the curves of the willows and the blossoming flowers. Nothing in this world is insurmountable.

By the time Lu Tianxing returned to the Ziyuan District, it was closing in on eleven o’clock. And although it was well past eleven, lights still shone in the villa as if they were left on purposefully.

Lu Tianxing stood in front of the door, took a deep breath, took out his keys, unlocked the door, and quietly walked in. Bai Qiao Mountain, He Cailan, and Bai Weiwei had already gone to their rooms to sleep, while Bai Zhiqing was sitting on the couch wearing a bathrobe, absentmindedly watching the television.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Bai Zhiqing looked up and a smile spread across her face upon seeing Lu Tianxing, ”You’re back.”

”I’m back.”

Seeing the look of worry in Bai Zhiqing’s eyes, Lu Tianxing nodded gently, feeling a sense of guilt rising in his heart.

There was a time when he and Bai Zhiqing were no more than a married couple by contract, the kind that could come together or part ways with ease—neither attachment in gathering nor regret in parting.

Yet, at some unknown point, Lu Tianxing realized that Bai Zhiqing had quietly taken root in his heart, and he found himself caring more and more about her, even looking forward to returning home as soon as he finished work every day.

”How did it go, was everything resolved? What exactly happened to Lin Demon?” Bai Zhiqing asked softly.

”It’s been resolved.”

Lu Tianxing walked over to Bai Zhiqing, sat down on the couch, and naturally wrapped his arm around her slender waist.

Bai Zhiqing did not struggle, instead resting her head on Lu Tianxing’s shoulder, silently enjoying the tranquility of the moment.

”Lin Demon encountered an assassination attempt, but it’s all been taken care of, it’s fine now...” he said.

Lu Tianxing didn’t conceal the incident, but he omitted all the gore. He didn’t want Bai Zhiqing to know about such things.

”Were you hurt?”

Bai Zhiqing’s body stiffened suddenly, and she looked anxiously at Lu Tianxing. Although he downplayed it, she could imagine the kind of danger involved.

”I’m fine. A few little bugs, they couldn’t harm me.”

Lu Tianxing looked at Bai Zhiqing and asked quietly, ”Why are you still awake and not sleeping? Don’t you have work tomorrow?”

”I couldn’t sleep.”

Bai Zhiqing shook her head and said, ”Tianxing, what do you think of Lin Demon?”

”Not bad, very feminine, and also very beautiful.”

Lu Tianxing responded simply. He could detect a hint of jealousy in Bai Zhiqing’s tone—it was obvious she was feeling a little envious.

”Have you had any... improper thoughts about Lin Demon?”

Bai Zhiqing suddenly raised her head to look at Lu Tianxing intently, hoping to see even the slightest trace of guilt on his face.

”Absolutely not,” Lu Tianxing shook his head repeatedly. Even if he did have thoughts, he couldn’t say—they would just spill the beans, and he’d probably be out of luck tonight.

”Really?”

Bai Zhiqing stared hard at Lu Tianxing, ”Don’t you feel even the slightest attraction to Lin Demon, with her good figure, curvaceous front and back, great skills, and her face so enchanting and in line with men’s beauty standards? You don’t feel tempted at all?”

”Wife, you underestimate me. Who am I? I’m Liu Xia Hui, not moved by external appearances—how could I bow to beauty?”

Lu Tianxing shook his head repeatedly: ”But then again, how do you know Lin Yafei is skilled, wife? Don’t tell me you two... Heh heh, I didn’t see it coming, wife, you’re actually following the latest trends.”

Lu Tianxing looked at Bai Zhiqing with a mischievous laugh, the implication being clear.

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s peculiar laugh, Bai Zhiqing’s pretty face turned red, even her ears flushed. She clearly understood the insinuation from Lu Tianxing’s embrace, which was implying she was into girls.

”Wife, there’s no need to explain, I get it. A woman, especially an ice queen, might be cold on the outside but wild inside. I understand, no need to explain.”

As she looked at the sly smile on Lu Tianxing’s face, Bai Zhiqing took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to strangle him and said, ”Can your thoughts be cleaner, Lu Tianxing? You’re the one into that, not me. Actually, I think you’re a pervy guy who likes, you know, that.”

Lu Tianxing was taken aback and said with a bad smile, ”Wife, don’t you know whether I like men or not? Wife, don’t worry, I won’t judge you. Even if you’re that way inclined, I promise to guide you back to the right path.”

”You... I....”

Bai Zhiqing looked at Lu Tianxing with an indignant face, unsure of how to start explaining. Did she have to go through a real wedding night with Lu Tianxing to prove she wasn’t like that?

Lu Tianxing persisted, ”Wife, there’s no need to be shy. Could it be because I rescued Lin Demon, snatched away your girlfriend, and you’re jealous over Lin Demon, so that’s why you’re giving me such a hard time?”
