Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 753: Chapter 749: Relationship Eased (First Update)

”I’m aware of the situation,”

As Bai Zhiqing listened to Mandala’s words, ripples of emotion surged within her. She certainly knew that Lu Tianxing loved her—otherwise, he wouldn’t have annihilated the Peng Family in a fit of rage after Peng Tianlong kidnapped her, nor would he have confronted the Zhao Family of Xiangjiang for her sake. All of these actions were clear declarations of Lu Tianxing’s love. However, the fact that Lu Tianxing had another woman outside made it impossible for her to move past this barrier. Whenever she thought of it, an inexplicable pain gripped her heart.

Seeing Bai Zhiqing’s expression, Mandala cautiously said, ”Sister-in-law, please forgive my brother this one time, okay? My brother truly loves you very much. If you don’t believe it, you can ask him directly when he comes back later.”

Bai Zhiqing gave Mandala a brief glance and didn’t say anything else, just staring blankly at the ceiling, lost in thought.

Seeing Bai Zhiqing’s appearance, Mandala wanted to speak up and comfort Bai Zhiqing several times, but she didn’t know how to approach the subject. After all, this was a matter between Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing—a relationship issue that, as an outsider, she could hardly meddle with. As the saying goes, ”Even a wise judge finds it hard to settle a family quarrel.” It seemed only Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing could resolve this matter.

However, the tranquility of the hospital room was soon disturbed. The female doctor who had earlier diagnosed Bai Zhiqing, along with several nurses pushing diagnostic equipment, walked in and began to examine Bai Zhiqing.

Fifteen minutes later, the female doctor let the nurses take the equipment out before she said to Bai Zhiqing, ”Chairman Bai, your health is completely fine now. However, you collapsed due to extreme distress, so you need to rest well for some time. It would be best not to get bogged down with work during this period, as it might lead to worse consequences. If necessary, it’s better for you to stay and recuperate in the hospital.”

”That’s not possible. Bai’s Group is at a crucial stage of its development; I can’t stay in the hospital. I’m leaving,” Bai Zhiqing immediately protested upon hearing this.

”Sister-in-law...,”

Mandala called out, but before she could finish her sentence, Bai Zhiqing interrupted her, ”Manman, don’t worry about me. I’m well aware of my own health. Resting in the hospital is the same as resting in the office. Doctor, please just prescribe some medicine for me; I want to be discharged now.”

”No, you’re not allowed to go anywhere right now. You must obediently follow the doctor’s orders.”

Just then, a voice sounded. Lu Tianxing walked in carrying a plastic bag and said to the female doctor nearby, ”Doctor Wei, thank you for your trouble. We won’t be discharging. Staying a few more days isn’t a big deal as long as it helps her recover. Even if we have to stay for ten days or half a month, there’s no problem.”

”Mr. Lu, you’re being too serious. Chairman Bai’s health is almost fully recovered; she’s just a bit weak, which is why she needs to stay a few more days for recuperation in the hospital. Work issues can be managed, but she should make sure to get enough rest. Mr. Lu, if there’s nothing else, I have other patients to attend to, so I must be going now,” the doctor replied.

”Doctor Wei, shall I walk you out?”

”No need, Mr. Lu. It’s fine. You just stay with Chairman Bai,” the doctor said with a smile before turning and leading the nurses out of the room.

”Lu Tianxing, what do you mean by this? What right do you have to control me?” Bai Zhiqing asked indignantly, looking at Lu Tianxing after the doctor had left.

”I have every right as your husband and as the future father of your child. Is that reason enough? Bai Zhiqing, let me tell you, unless you fully recover, you can forget about leaving the hospital,” Lu Tianxing stated emphatically.

”This is un~law~ful de~ten~tion...”

Bai Zhiqing looked at Lu Tianxing with an unsightly expression on her face.

”That’s right, I’ve illegally detained you, but you don’t have a choice.”

Lu Tianxing was unyielding as he stared at Bai Zhiqing, his gaze showing no signs of compromise.

”Hmph, what are you looking at with that cannibalistic look? It was clearly you who did wrong, and yet you dare to look at me like that. A good woman doesn’t fight with men, I can’t be bothered with you. Hmph, keep staring with those big eyes, you’ll end up with cross eyes sooner or later.”

In the end, Bai Zhiqing was the first to back down, letting out a dissatisfied snort, looking like a little girl throwing a tantrum, puffing up her cheeks and turning her head away in an ”I can’t be bothered with you” manner.

Seeing Bai Zhiqing’s childish demeanor, Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but chuckle as he placed the plastic bag aside and plopped down next to Bai Zhiqing. He said with a smile, ”Wife, don’t be mad anymore, okay? Didn’t you used to like eating apples? I just went downstairs and bought you some apples, they’re really sweet, do you want to try one?”

Bai Zhiqing was still turned away from Lu Tianxing, looking all puffed up with anger, pretending she didn’t hear anything, yet her ears were pricked up high.

”Brother, let me have a taste to see how good it is.” Mandala couldn’t help but speak up, her mood as bright and red as the apples in Lu Tianxing’s hand, because she realized that when Lu Tianxing said those words like ”I am your husband, I have the final say,” Bai Zhiqing didn’t argue. It was clear that in her heart, Bai Zhiqing was beginning to forgive Lu Tianxing, which made her happy.

”Go play elsewhere, what’s it to you, if you want to eat, go buy some yourself.” Lu Tianxing gave Mandala a glance and said dismissively.

”Brother, you are burning bridges after crossing, you’re ungrateful...”

Mandala cried out in dissatisfaction, puffing up with anger at Lu Tianxing. If it wasn’t for her speaking up for him earlier, Bai Zhiqing wouldn’t have cleared up her mood so quickly. This was a classic case of kicking away the ladder after achieving one’s goal, it was infuriating.

”So what if I am? If you want to eat, get it yourself. How old are you now, don’t you know what it means to fend for oneself?”

Lu Tianxing glanced at Mandala and turned his attention back to Bai Zhiqing. ”Wife, why aren’t you speaking? If you don’t speak, it’s as good as agreeing. Seeing how obedient you are, as a reward, I’ve decided to peel an apple for you and feed it to you personally.”

Even though Bai Zhiqing had been dealing with Lu Tianxing for so long and had built up a considerable resistance to his thick-skinned nature, she still felt like she might have underestimated Lu Tianxing’s shamelessness. She was clearly angry, when did it become about her agreeing?

Indeed, there was no such thing as shameless, only more shameless.

”Lu Tianxing, can you be serious for once?” Bai Zhiqing turned around, looked at Lu Tianxing, and sighed.

”Serious? How am I not serious? Peeling an apple for my wife is being unserious? Then other men who wash their wives’ underwear must be even less serious, outright perverts, am I right?” Lu Tianxing looked at Bai Zhiqing and chuckled.

The first update is here, and there’s one more to go. After I finish the update, I’m off to sleep, I’ll continue tomorrow. I was so tired from taking the bus yesterday—I was up at six in the morning, packed, caught the seven o’clock bus, and didn’t get home until after five in the afternoon. I’m exhausted, I’ll just update two Chapters tonight and continue tomorrow morning!!!
