Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 738: Chapter 734 I’m Willing to Die for Him

Standing at the door of the chairman’s office, Lin Qianru took a deep breath, composed herself, and reverted to her previously icy demeanor. She gently knocked on the door, then pushed it open and walked in.

Instantly, Lin Qianru’s figure entered the line of sight of Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing.

Upon seeing Lin Qianru, Lu Tianxing’s face immediately changed, especially when he saw her slightly reddened eyes and the indifferent aura rejecting others from a thousand miles away, a feeling of heartache inexplicably surged within him. If he wasn’t wrong, Lin Qianru had probably seen the news on the website.

He intended to explain, yet he didn’t know where to start because, after all, he had still deceived Lin Qianru. Although he told her he was married, he had not revealed to her that his wife was Bai Zhiqing; otherwise, this scene might not have unfolded today.

Upon seeing Lin Qianru, Bai Zhiqing asked softly, ”Qian Ru, what’s wrong? Why are you looking for me so early today? Also, you seem to be in a bad mood.”

”Thank you for your concern, Mr. Bai. I’m fine.”

Lin Qianru slowly began, her tone unvarying, her gaze sweeping over Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing, she softly said, ”Mr. Bai, I just saw a piece of news that said you’re married, and your spouse is Assistant Lu, is that correct?”

After asking this question, Lin Qianru suddenly felt a stab in her heart and an overwhelming suffocating sensation, making it hard for her to breathe, but she forced herself to keep a steady expression.

”Qian Ru, what’s gotten into you today? Why are you asking this?” Bai Zhiqing’s heart skipped a beat as she asked without showing any emotion.

”Mr. Bai, don’t ask why. I just want to know if your husband is Assistant Lu, if what the news is saying is true.”

Lin Qianru’s tone grew firmer, her voice carrying a hint of hope and panic.

Bai Zhiqing, seeing Lin Qianru’s expression, seemed to understand something and nodded her head, ”Yes, the news is correct. I am Assistant Lu’s wife. We were married even before Assistant Lu joined the company, it just wasn’t made public at the time. Qian Ru, I...”

Before Bai Zhiqing could finish her sentence, Lin Qianru cut her off, ”It’s okay, Mr. Bai. I understand now. Assistant Lu, congratulations on your marriage. Please take good care of Mr. Bai in the future. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now. Goodbye.”

With those words, Lin Qianru smiled a smile uglier than crying, turned around, and walked towards the exit. No one noticed the tears that she could no longer hold back, cascading down her cheeks as she turned away.

Love is indeed a mixture of various flavors – sweet, sour, bitter, and salty. Sadly, Lin Qianru had never anticipated falling in love with someone she shouldn’t have. She wanted to reproach Lu Tianxing, but upon seeing the nervous and sympathetic look in his eyes, she found herself at a loss for words.

This bitter cup was her own doing, and maybe she was meant to drink it all by herself.

Lu Tianxing watched Lin Qianru’s shoulders quivering slightly, wanting to rush forward to comfort her but unsure how to begin. Several times he tried to speak, to call out to the departing Lin Qianru, but his voice stuck in his throat, unable to come out.

After all, Bai Zhiqing was his legitimate wife.

Even the most magnanimous woman would probably find it unbearable for her husband to be flirtatious with another beautiful woman. If Lu Tianxing really did so, he would surely face Bai Zhiqing’s wrath, possibly pushing the situation to an irreversible point, which he certainly did not wish to see.

But if he didn’t call out to Lin Qianru and let her leave just like that, Lu Tianxing had a feeling that maybe he would lose Lin Qianru forever.

”Qian Ru, wait a moment....”

Seeing Lin Qianru walk to the door, Lu Tianxing couldn’t restrain himself and opened his mouth to call out to her. This was his fault, not this woman’s, and he didn’t want to leave all the pain to her; that would be cowardly.

Unfortunately, before Lu Tianxing could finish his words, Bai Zhiqing had already preempted him, saying, ”Qian Ru, wait a moment, I still have a question for you.”

”Mr. Bai, what is it? I have a lot of work to do today, and if it’s not important, let’s talk about it tomorrow!”

Without hesitation, Lin Qianru was ready to open the door and step out. She didn’t want to show any signs of weakness in front of Lu Tianxing, nor in front of Bai Zhiqing.

”Qian Ru, you like Lu Tianxing, don’t you?”

Bai Zhiqing’s calm voice filled the room, betraying no change of emotion.

Upon hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, Lin Qianru’s body trembled, and without turning back, she replied indifferently, ”Heh, Mr. Bai, you must be joking. Assistant Lu and I are merely colleagues, you’re thinking too much.”

Bai Zhiqing’s voice remained steady as she said, ”Qian Ru, you’re lying to me. Although I, Bai Zhiqing, have never been in a relationship, I’m not a fool. We’ve known each other for so many years, do you think I don’t know you? If you truly came to congratulate me, you wouldn’t use work time to do so, but would choose after hours. You can’t deceive me, I want to hear the truth, whether you like Lu Tianxing or not.”

Watching the exchange between the two women, Lu Tianxing suddenly stood up, intending to speak, but was glared back into silence by Bai Zhiqing’s icy, emotionless gaze.

After hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, Lin Qianru could no longer contain the palpitations in her heart, and she spun around, her eyes glittering as she looked at Bai Zhiqing, saying, ”That’s right, I like Lu Tianxing very much, I love him, I would even be willing to die for him.”

Upon hearing Lin Qianru’s words, Bai Zhiqing’s expression subtly changed. How had she not realized that Lin Qianru loved Lu Tianxing so deeply that she was even willing to die for him? Bai Zhiqing, too, was a woman, and she could tell that Lin Qianru’s words came from her heart and were not lies.

”Why?”

”He is an exceptional man, one any woman would be immersed in, and I think you, Mr. Bai, understand this better than I do.” Lin Qianru struggled to control her emotions, but the more she did, the more she felt a heart-wrenching pain erupting from her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhiqing fell silent. Lin Qianru was right; Lu Tianxing indeed was that kind of man—casual on the surface, like a piece of gold covered in dust. When you wipe away the surface dust, you will find that this man is pure gold, shining brilliantly wherever he is, drawing the attention of countless people.

Wasn’t that the reason why she changed from wishing Lu Tianxing would disappear from her sight to gradually not disliking him, and until finally falling in love with him, willingly being together with him, making the promise to hold his hand and grow old with him?

PS: I saw some friends asking yesterday whether it would be a tragedy. Here I say, there is no tragedy in this book, no tragedy, no tragedy, important things must be said three times!!!
