Chapter 747: Chapter 743 Lu Tianxing’s Choice

There once was an old saying, ”It’s better to forget each other in the world than to moil together.” Loving someone doesn’t necessarily mean you have to be together. Sometimes, letting go might be the best choice.

That is exactly what Lin Qianru is doing now. She loves Lu Tianxing so deeply that she’s even willing to die for him. So, when Bai Zhiqing demanded Lu Tianxing to choose between them, she chose to let go, walking away alone. It wasn’t that she didn’t love Lu Tianxing, but because she couldn’t bear to see him sad or in pain. She would rather give up her own happiness than see her beloved distressed.

In this respect, Lin Qianru and Bai Zhiqing were similar; both women chose to let go and facilitate each other’s happiness. However, Bai Zhiqing was not good at expressing herself. She could only show her love silently. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone to the supermarket with Mandala every day after work, striving to improve her cooking skills, just based on a comment from Lu Tianxing.

Lu Tianxing watched as Lin Qianru turned away. Upon hearing her words, his face changed drastically. He immediately reached out and grabbed Lin Qianru’s arm, preventing her from leaving.

”Lu Tianxing, let go of me,” Lin Qianru, her body trembling, said without looking back, trying hard to shake off Lu Tianxing’s hand. But his grip was like a vise, holding her firmly.

Bai Zhiqing’s face turned even uglier when she witnessed this scene. Her body shook slightly, and a self-mocking smile appeared on her lips. Had she finally lost?

Mandala, who had been standing by Lu Tianxing’s side, observing the changes, was so furious at this scene that she almost spat blood. She wished she could drag Lu Tianxing away and beat him up. What the hell was this, still holding onto that fox? Wasn’t this making things worse?

At that moment, Mandala wished she could slap Lu Tianxing’s face. If that woman wanted to leave, then let her leave. What’s the big deal? It’d be no trouble to console her later. The priority was to soothe Bai Zhiqing. Mandala had been adding fuel to the fire under the pretense of speaking for Bai Zhiqing while actually trying to quench Bai Zhiqing’s anger against Lu Tianxing. Just as Bai Zhiqing’s expression was calming down, this mishap happened, which was nothing but pouring oil on the fire. Was he trying to speed up their demise?

On the side, Mandala was scratching her head, wondering how Lu Tianxing could become so dense at such a critical moment, almost turning into an idiot.

”Brother, what are you doing? Let go of her right now.”

Seeing Bai Zhiqing’s face darkening like an approaching storm, Mandala knew that if she didn’t speak up now, all her efforts would be in vain.

”Manman, this is none of your business. Don’t interfere. If there’s nothing else, go wait downstairs,” Lu Tianxing said, his expression stern, with no intention of letting go. He knew very well that if he really let go, it might mean that Lin Qianru wasn’t as important to him as Bai Zhiqing, and he might lose her forever. Having caught her, he wouldn’t let go.

”Brother...”

”I know what I’m doing. Go downstairs and tell all the departments to strictly forbid anyone from coming to the rooftop. Otherwise, they’ll be fired immediately,” Lu Tianxing said coldly.

Mandala didn’t speak, carefully glanced at Bai Zhiqing, then at Lu Tianxing’s face, and finally sighed and walked straight into the elevator.

After Mandala had left, Bai Zhiqing’s face was icy and expressionless as she said, ”Lu Tianxing, is this the choice you are giving me?”

”Wife, I...” Lu Tianxing forced a smile and opened his mouth, but felt as if something was blocking his throat, making him unable to speak.

”Lu Tianxing, I’ll just ask you one question now, do you choose her or me? If you choose her, I’ll leave right now. If you choose me, then let go of her hand and let her leave.”

Bai Zhiqing’s tone was exceptionally cold, making it impossible to detect any emotional fluctuation.

”I...”

Lu Tianxing opened his mouth and said, ”I don’t want to give up either of you.”

”You are delusional. Do you think this is ancient times? Lu Tianxing, you have made your wishful calculations,” Bai Zhiqing said with an ugly expression. This bastard actually wanted both, which was too good to be true.

”Yes, I know I am delusional, but I really don’t want to give up either of you. I know you hate me, hate me for being fickle. I really want to change that, but... I just can’t change it...”

A bitter smile appeared on Lu Tianxing’s face. Could he guarantee that he wouldn’t be fickle? Even if he wasn’t, what about those other women? Was he supposed to watch them suffer, or watch them walk down the aisle with other men?

”I really can’t change this because I’m afraid—I’m afraid of going back to before, back to the day I was alone, back to the day I never considered myself a person.”

Lu Tianxing let go of Lin Qianru and murmured softly, emanating a sense of loneliness, as if he were a wild animal licking its wounds coiled in a corner, ”I know I am too greedy. I know this hurts you both, but I am really scared, really scared of going back to that cold and lonely world. I don’t ever want to face that endless chill alone again. Wife, Qian Ru, do you know why the people we met before used to call me ’Judge’?”

Without waiting for either woman to respond, Lu Tianxing continued on his own, ”Because I have killed people, many people. My hands are stained with blood—there were not ten thousand, but there were at least eight thousand who died at my hands. I am an executioner, a merciless demon. Everyone feared me, I had no friends, and for me, life was only about killing. There was nothing else but that. Even Manman was afraid of me and dared not come near me. Do you know what it feels like, that kind of life that could drive a person mad?”

”I used to think that this life would go on forever, until I came back to Modu and met you both. Only then did I realize that life is not just about killing. There’s so much more to protect. Maybe you don’t know that when I am with you, I never once thought about the consequences; even that you might just be passersby in my life, whom I could leave behind lightly.”

”But in the end, I was wrong. As time went by, I realized that I had gradually fallen in love with both of you. I know I am fickle, but I also know that I truly fell in love with you both. Each of you is just as important as the other in my heart. I am unwilling to give up either of you...”
