Chapter 739: Chapter 735: Lu Tianxing’s Choice

”Mr. Bai, now you understand why I could fall in love with Lu Tianxing, right? But even if I love him, what of it? He’s your husband, and I’m just a contemptible mistress, a shameless woman...” she said.

As she said this, Lin Qianru’s face revealed a hint of a deranged smile, glittering tears sliding down her cheeks. The heart-wrenching pain inside made her seem even more delicate.

Witnessing Lin Qianru’s deep pain, Lu Tianxing’s heart clenched instantly. He wanted to go over and hold her in his arms to comfort her, but the last shred of his reasoning told him that if he did so, things really could become irreparable.

Just as Bai Zhiqing was about to speak, she heard Lin Qianru once again say, ”I know I’m foolish, stupid, knowing full well that he’s married, yet shamelessly throw myself at him. Haha, Mr. Bai, I’m sorry, I have wronged you. I am a vixen, shamelessly seducing your husband. You don’t have to say anything to me. I know what to do. From now on, I will vanish from Bai’s Group, never to appear here again. I’m sorry.”

After saying this, Lin Qianru bowed deeply to Bai Zhiqing, with a heartbreakingly pitiful sneer on her pretty face. The man she deeply loved was married, and his bride was her close friend—what an immense irony.

Seeing Lin Qianru’s heartbroken smile, Lu Tianxing couldn’t hold back anymore and said, ”Qian Ru, I....”

”You owe me nothing,” she interrupted.

Before Lu Tianxing could finish, Lin Qianru interrupted him, speaking with a bitter expression, ”Lu Tianxing, stop looking at me that way. You owe me nothing. All of this is my own doing. It’s my shamelessness in seducing you. You’re not at fault in any way. All of this has nothing to do with you. Lu Tianxing, I’m leaving, and I wish you happiness.”

As her words fell, Lin Qianru gave Lu Tianxing a deep, desolate smile, her eyes filled with a dead gray, devoid of any vitality. Then she turned, opened the office door, and ran out.

The ashen look in Lin Qianru’s eyes was seared into Lu Tianxing’s memory, giving rise to an ominous premonition in his heart, especially seeing that from beginning to end, she had never harbored any resentment towards him, which made him feel a guilt he had never known before.

A woman, in the depths of her despair, not only bore no grudge against the man but took all the blame upon herself. There could only be one reason for that: she deeply loved the man and did not want him to feel any guilt towards her. She only wished for him to be happy all his life.

Only when love reached its utmost depths could one care so much for a man.

Realizing this, Lu Tianxing could no longer suppress the turmoil in his heart and quickly stepped out from the assistant’s position, heading outside. He had to chase after Lin Qianru, even if he could not end up with her, he didn’t want to let her leave like this.

Seeing Lu Tianxing’s actions, Bai Zhiqing’s face grew even colder as she coldly asked, ”Lu Tianxing, where do you think you’re going?”

Confronted with Bai Zhiqing’s icy gaze, Lu Tianxing took a deep breath and said, ”Wife, I need to check on Qian Ru. I’m worried she might do something foolish.”

”Lu Tianxing, are you sure you want to go?” Bai Zhiqing asked coldly.

”Yes, I must go. If I don’t, I fear I might regret it for the rest of my life. I know you hate me for being unfaithful. When I come back, I will give you a proper explanation.”

Lu Tianxing, looking into Bai Zhiqing’s eyes, cold to the extreme, knew that she was angry. But he knew that this was a moment when he had to go. If he didn’t go after Lin Qianru, he might regret it forever.

So, no matter what, he had to catch up to her.

”Bang!”

The sound of the door slamming shut.

Looking at the office door that had just closed again, Bai Zhiqing felt a sudden weakness overtake her body, unable to hold back the emotions inside, tears began sliding down her cheeks.

She had never expected that Lu Tianxing would truly abandon her and go after Lin Qianru.

Was she really inferior to Lin Qianru?

Bai Zhiqing realized, without knowing since when, that the figure of Lu Tianxing had unknowingly crept into her heart, even to the point that when Lu Tianxing had left for Hang City sometime earlier, her mind was almost filled every day with his image, scenes of their laughter and arguments, and the only thing she could do besides work was to foolishly stare at the assistant’s seat where Lu Tianxing once sat, lost in thought.

Thinking of the words Lin Qianru had said before, and looking at the determined silhouette of Lu Tianxing leaving, Bai Zhiqing’s enchanting eyes gradually lost their color. She had fallen in love with Lu Tianxing, not knowing from when she had completely fallen for him, her love was as deep as Lin Qianru’s, so profound that she would even be willing to die for Lu Tianxing.

Bai Zhiqing slowly closed her eyes, a pained expression appearing on her face, although she knew that Lu Tianxing was only pursuing Lin Qianru to prevent her from doing something foolish, a heart-wrenching pain uncontrollably surged deep inside her.

”Is this what love is? Does it have to make one taste all the sweetness and bitterness to be considered true love? If that’s really the case, I would rather this love had never appeared, had never happened.”

Bai Zhiqing opened her eyes and murmured softly to herself, her gaze blankly fixed on the assistant’s seat, her mind a whirl of thoughts.

Meanwhile, outside the office, after Lu Tianxing had rushed out, he hadn’t seen any trace of Lin Qianru.

He pressed the elevator button several times, only to find it wasn’t coming up, so he decided to dash towards the nearby staircase, heading straight for the sales department, only to discover Lin Qianru wasn’t in her own office. After inquiring, he learned that she had not returned since leaving the sales department.

Lin Qianru wasn’t in the office; where had she gone then? She hadn’t done something foolish, had she?

Thinking of Lin Qianru’s ashen eyes when she left, a foreboding feeling rose in Lu Tianxing’s heart.

Right at that moment, Lu Tianxing’s phone suddenly rang. He took it out to see the caller ID; it was his friend Huang Can from his time in the security department.

After a moment of silence, Lu Tianxing answered the call, ”Huang Can, what’s up? Why are you calling me at this time?”

”Brother Lu, don’t ask about that. Did you and sister-in-law have a quarrel? Just now, I saw her crying and driving off.”

Huang Can’s voice came through the phone.

”Qianru? Do you know which direction she went?” Lu Tianxing’s expression changed, and he asked urgently.

”I’m not sure, but sister-in-law looked pretty upset. Brother Lu, you better hurry up and find her. After all, she’s so beautiful, and it wouldn’t be good if she encountered someone with bad intentions.”

”I understand, thank you, Huang Can. I’ll treat you to a meal when I’ve got time.”

After hanging up the phone, Lu Tianxing didn’t pause; he immediately left the sales department and rushed down toward the building of Bai’s Group.
