Chapter 611: Chapter 607 Call Me Xiao Man (2nd Update)

”What do you want to do, don’t come any closer, I’m telling you, this is a peaceful society, if you dare do anything to me, you will pay the price, you... remember this, I will not let you off.”

Seeing that Lu Tianxing kept advancing toward him, a look of fear emerged on the young man’s face. He dropped a fierce threat and scrambled away toward the outside as if a man-eating beast was chasing him.

Watching the young man scramble away, Lu Tianxing curled his lips, turned around, and walked into the office, casually closing the large office door behind him.

”Impressive, Brother Lu is getting more formidable, even Minister Xue has now fallen to him. I have to admit, he’s unbeatable.”

The security department watched the closed office door and immediately started discussing with undeniable envy.

”Yeah, Brother Lu is too formidable; taking down Minister Xue like that! I’ve heard that Brother Lu also has a somewhat ambiguous relationship with Manager Lin of the sales department. His skills in charming women are just too formidable. If he could teach me a trick or two, wouldn’t I be sweeping victories across the lands?” said one of the security guards with an envious face.

”You? Forget about it! Those womanizing skills aren’t something ordinary people can learn. If you dare to two-time, I guarantee that the next day all of us brothers will be visiting you in the hospital, and we might even have to send you to the Palace Museum for an exhibition,” another security guard said mercilessly.

”Send to the Palace Museum for what?”

”What was the Palace Museum originally?”

”An imperial palace.”

”Then why ask?”

”Got it, you mean he’s already been castrated and can only serve the Emperor at the Palace Museum.”

”No, I meant, put on display, I even thought of a title, ’China’s Last Eunuch.’

...

Meanwhile, in Xue Man’s office, Lu Tianxing looked at Xue Man with a mischievous expression and slowly said, ”Minister Xue, wouldn’t have guessed, but you actually have suitors, and persistent ones at that. It really opens my eyes and broadens my horizons.”

”Lu Tianxing, what do you mean by that? ”

Xue Man’s originally decent mood soured instantly upon hearing these words, the implication in Lu Tianxing’s tone was clear: suggesting she was fiery-tempered and without suitors.

”Nothing much, just a bit curious, who is this guy?”

”Who knows, just an idiot, don’t mind him,” Xue Man said displeasedly, and then asked Lu Tianxing, ”Lu Tianxing, what brings you to my office today, is there something you need?”

”Oh, I was wondering if there have been any strangers hanging around here lately, and also how your mother has been doing recently,” Lu Tianxing said softly.

”No.”

Upon hearing this, Xue Man’s expression also turned grave as she shook her head and said, ”My mother’s illness has almost recovered, and she has been discharged from the hospital. By the way, Lu Tianxing, do you have any time? My mother would like to invite you over for a meal at my house to thank you; are you available?”

”To eat at your house!”

Lu Tianxing heard this, his face slightly changed, and it was about eating again. Damn it, wasn’t this asking for his life?

He had just refused Lan Xin, and now here came another Xue Man. Was the Almighty not satisfied with how easy his life was going, deliberately sending these young women to punish him? He had just made some progress with Bai Zhiqing, and if he went to Xue Man’s house for dinner now, who knows where Bai Zhiqing’s thoughts would wander off to.

”What’s wrong, Lu Tianxing? You look quite surprised,” Xue Man curiously asked.

”It’s nothing, I’d rather not have dinner,” Lu Tianxing shook his head, offering no explanation to Xue Man.

”Suit yourself.”

Xue Man waved her hand, looking at Lu Tianxing said, ”By the way, where have you been these past few days, Lu Tianxing? I haven’t seen you at the company.”

After asking this question, Xue Man’s heart suddenly trembled slightly. She didn’t know when she had started to care about Lu Tianxing, to mind his presence.

Maybe it was since Lu Tianxing saved her mother, or perhaps it was when he helped her fend off mercenary relatives, or maybe it was the first time they went to Xiangjiang on a business trip, and something that happened there made her start to notice Lu Tianxing.

Even Xue Man herself didn’t realize that during the days Lu Tianxing wasn’t at Bai’s Group, she felt an emptiness inside her, as if something was missing; she lost all interest in her work, and she felt utterly drained, like a frostbitten eggplant.

”It’s nothing much, I just had some matters to deal with, so I went out for a while,”

Lu Tianxing said simply, then added, ”Minister Xue, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now. Oh, and if you see any strangers around, make sure to tell me right away, understood?”

”I got it.”

Xue Man nodded, watched Lu Tianxing for a moment and suddenly said, ”Lu Tianxing, could you not call me ’Minister Xue’ anymore? Just ’Xiao Man’ is fine.”

”Xiao Man?”

Lu Tianxing was confused, unsure why Xue Man would say that.

”No... no, it’s just that you’ve helped me so many times, we should be considered friends now. Calling me Minister Xue feels a bit too formal. It’s nothing else, please don’t misunderstand,” Xue Man hastily explained, meeting Lu Tianxing’s gaze.

Hearing Xue Man’s words, Lu Tianxing nodded and smiled, ”You’re right, we really are friends, there’s no need to call you Minister Xue anymore. I have another matter to attend to, so I’ll be going now. Call me if someone appears, if nothing else, I’m leaving now.”

Watching Lu Tianxing leave, Xue Man heaved a long sigh of relief. Just then, she felt her little heart pounding non-stop, nearly exposing her feelings.

Xue Man returned to her seat and said softly, ”Lu Tianxing, if only you weren’t Qian Ru’s boyfriend, it would be great. Then, I could give you a chance to pursue me.”

As for Xue Man’s behavior, Lu Tianxing didn’t think too much of it, and also, he wouldn’t believe that Xue Man could fall for him.

To speak frankly, he and Xue Man were just bickering friends, they would feel unsettled if they didn’t argue for a day. He hadn’t known Xue Man for long; aside from treating her mother and helping her drive away greedy relatives, the times they met were few and far between with almost no overlap; they barely had proper conversations at the company, so how could Xue Man possibly fall for him?

It might be possible for someone else, but not for Xue Man. For someone as strong-willed as Xue Man, who prioritizes her career, it’s nearly impossible for things like love at first sight to happen to her.

Here’s the second update. Rolling under the scorching fifty-degree heat asking for recommendation tickets, if you have them, don’t let them go to waste. There’s one more update coming, and after that, I’m off to sleep.
