Chapter 751: Chapter 747 Bai Zhiqing Hospitalized

The scorching sun blazed high above, and the cicadas, never tiring, kept up their shrill cries, stirring feelings of irritation.

Modu’s premier private hospital.

A strong smell of disinfectant permeated the air, causing discomfort throughout one’s body. The narrow hallway was dimly lit and eerily quiet, adding to the unease.

At this moment in the cramped corridor, Lu Tianxing and Mandala sat on a bench designated for those waiting, sitting quietly outside the intensive care unit.

Lu Tianxing had been silent for a long time, but finally grew impatient. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a cigarette to light up and alleviate the tension, but then he remember the words Bai Zhiqing had spoken to him a few days ago. Reluctantly, he put it back and sighed heavily, stood up, and began to pace, casting anxious glances at the ICU now and then.

”Brother, what the hell is going on? Why did sister-in-law faint all of a sudden? Look at you, what am I supposed to say to you? Sister-in-law is such a great woman, why don’t you cherish her? I know you’re strong and you’ve seen your fair share of life and death, and don’t take some things seriously, but look at what you’re doing now. There are so many other places to pick up women, so why did you have to do it right under sister-in-law’s nose? Are you trying to upset her on purpose? Lu Tianxing, let me tell you, if something happens to sister-in-law today, don’t blame me for not being polite to you,” Mandala said angrily to Lu Tianxing, who sat beside her.

She had no idea how Bai Zhiqing had fallen unconscious. After being kicked out by Lu Tianxing, she hadn’t returned upstairs. Soon after, she received a call from Lu Tianxing saying Bai Zhiqing had fainted and they were on their way to the hospital. By the time she arrived, she only saw Lu Tianxing sitting blankly on a chair outside the ICU.

”Manman, I know it’s my fault, and I will take care of this,” Lu Tianxing said gravely, his gaze fixed on the ICU, waiting for the doctor’s report.

”I hope so!”

After hearing his words, Mandala let out a soft sigh, ”Brother, you better be careful in the future, otherwise, sister-in-law might really divorce you. I’m a woman, I can tell sister-in-law loves you so much, but the things you did today have hurt her considerably. Maybe she’ll forgive you this time, but it won’t be as easy next time. I don’t want to see the day when you and sister-in-law go your separate ways; you’re both my family.”

As she said this, Mandala sighed again. She recalled Bai Zhiqing’s appearance when she returned to the company - an endlessly cold aura emanated from her. She sat like an ice sculpture, especially her eyes, which showed no emotional fluctuation, vacantly fixed on her own desk.

It was the demeanor of someone whose heart had died; once the heart dies, the sparkle in the eyes vanishes, and one becomes like a walking corpse, soulless.

”Also, brother, I just want to ask you, what’s so good about that woman? You actually left sister-in-law alone for her. Do you realize what you’re doing? In ancient times, this would be considered abandoning your wife and children, something scorned by everyone. Do you understand?” Mandala spoke with frustration, as if lamenting his inability to grasp this concept.

”I know, but I know even better that if I didn’t go after her today, Qian Ru might have died. I don’t regret that, regardless of whether Zhiqing agrees or not, I had to go, because she’s my woman too, and I couldn’t let anything happen to her,” Lu Tianxing said, taking a deep breath.

”She’s your woman, but what about Sister Zhiqing! Isn’t she your woman?” Mandala asked loudly.

”I...,”

Lu Tianxing opened his mouth to say something, but at that moment, the door to the ward suddenly opened.

Lu Tianxing went up to meet them without delay, grabbing the hand of the leading female doctor, and asked in an urgent voice, ”Doctor, how is she, what’s happened to my wife, why did she suddenly faint?”

”You are...?” the female doctor began, looking at Lu Tianxing.

”I am the patient’s husband, and this is my sister,” Lu Tianxing quickly responded.

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, the female doctor nodded and said, ”I’ve just given her a thorough examination, and there is nothing wrong with the patient’s body. The reason she fainted so suddenly is due to a fit of anger, which led to the fainting episode. You are her husband, so I must advise you that sometimes women can be very sensitive, and a small matter might upset them. But as a man, you should be more understanding and not let her get angry. For the time being, it would be best to let her rest more and relax, otherwise, this fit of anger could cause serious issues.”

”I understand, doctor, this was my fault. I will heed your advice,” Lu Tianxing nodded, offering no objection to the doctor’s words.

”That’s good. The patient is now resting. You may go in and visit her, but try to be light-footed and not wake her up.”

After saying this, the female doctor left the hospital room with several nurses.

Once the doctor had left, Lu Tianxing wasted no time and immediately walked into the hospital room, his steps light as he moved to the bedside, his gaze fixed on Bai Zhiqing, who was lying in the hospital bed.

Bai Zhiqing’s black hair was scattered around her, and her usually cold and stunning face now appeared as fragile as willows in the breeze. Her eyes were tightly shut, her breathing even, yet her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if the dreams she was having were not all that pleasant.

Lu Tianxing remained silent, gently sitting down on the chair by the bed and tenderly caressing Bai Zhiqing’s face, as if trying to brush away all her troubles.

Mandala, who followed closely behind, trembled at the sight. She had never seen Lu Tianxing show such affection, willing to stay by a woman’s side, let alone so tenderly arranging her hair.

In the Underworld, Lu Tianxing was known as Judge because whenever he took action, it was to take lives, never showing any mercy. In the Netherworld Mercenary Corps, Lu Tianxing was always stern-faced, only showing a hint of a smile when he was with Fu Tu and a few other close friends. But now, the gentle expression he gave Bai Zhiqing showed how important she truly was in his heart.

Taking a deep breath, a flicker of barely detectable envy appeared in Mandala’s eyes. The steps she had just taken out of the room were quietly retracted, and she left the hospital room, giving the space back to Lu Tianxing.

It was as if Lu Tianxing hadn’t noticed Mandala come and go, his gaze fixed intently on the woman lying unconscious before him, lost in thought. Scenes of his first encounter with Bai Zhiqing, their growing knowledge of each other, and then their love surfaced one after another in his mind... Gradually, Lu Tianxing lost track of time, and the entire world disappeared until only this one woman remained in front of him.

The past days, with their tears, laughter, and the full spectrum of emotions, flooded his heart and slowly enraptured Lu Tianxing.
