Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 767: Chapter 763: I Realize I’ve Committed Heinous Crimes

Compared to when she arrived with a heavy heart, Lin Qianru felt an unprecedented sense of relief as she left, like clearing away the fog to see the bright moon.

Before receiving Bai Zhiqing’s call to come to the hospital, she had braced herself for the worst, but unexpectedly, things had taken a turn for the better. Bai Zhiqing hadn’t driven her away; instead, she even tacitly acknowledged her relationship with Lu Tianxing. How could she not be happy?

Watching Lin Qianru leave with a lightened spirit, Bai Zhiqing suddenly felt as if she were boneless, collapsing into Lu Tianxing’s arms, her hands tightly clutching his arms.

Honestly, she didn’t want to share Lu Tianxing with any other woman, but she was well aware that a man like Lu Tianxing couldn’t be tied down to just one woman; as she had said, rather than having him surrounded by women with ulterior motives, it was better to have a woman who knew him well by his side. She couldn’t leave Lu Tianxing, nor did she want to see him in guilt and pain, so her only choice was to endure. Perhaps this was for the best.

Seeing Bai Zhiqing’s state, a warmth surged in Lu Tianxing’s heart. He was no fool and understood that Bai Zhiqing’s tolerance of Lin Qianru stemmed solely from her love for him—a love so deep that it led her to accept Lin Qianru. Otherwise, if it were any other woman, she would have probably slapped him and told him to get lost, let alone tolerate being embraced by others.

Lu Tianxing took a deep breath, said nothing, and just held Bai Zhiqing tightly in his arms, as if only by doing so could he assure her of his love.

Bai Zhiqing, feeling the change in Lu Tianxing, wrapped her arms tightly around his waist and rested her head in his chest, listening to his strong, steady heartbeat. It seemed that at this moment, Lu Tianxing truly belonged to her alone, and not shared with someone else.

It’s hard to say how long passed before Lu Tianxing gently released Bai Zhiqing and quietly said, ”Wife, thank you.”

”Thank me for what? Didn’t you say that I am your wife? Do husbands and wives need to say thank you?”

When Bai Zhiqing heard this, she looked up at Lu Tianxing and gently shook her head, a bitter smile appearing on her lips. All of this was her own doing; who asked her to fall in love with this philandering Casanova!

”Yes, we are husband and wife, for life,” Lu Tianxing reaffirmed, ”To hold your hand, to grow old with you.”

Seeing the bitter smile on Bai Zhiqing’s face, Lu Tianxing didn’t say more. Instead, he gently adjusted her body to lean against his chest, and his fingers softly pressed her temples. A warm True Qi flowed from his fingers into Bai Zhiqing’s body. Though he was no healer, using Creation True Qi to adjust her physical condition was effortless for him.

Bai Zhiqing didn’t move, just leaned gently against Lu Tianxing’s chest, seemingly sensing the tenderness emanating from him. Her lips curved slightly into a sweet smile, and she nestled like a docile kitten against his chest, seemingly seeking a comfortable position.

Feeling Bai Zhiqing’s movement, a warm smile spread across Lu Tianxing’s face. His heart suddenly felt a bit thankful for the paparazzi that had exposed his relationship with Bai Zhiqing. Although it had caused him a lot of trouble, ultimately, it pushed a major concern of his towards a favorable direction, and more importantly, their relationship had deepened through this ordeal, truly feeling like they were part of each other.

Quietly enjoying Lu Tianxing’s tenderness, Bai Zhiqing suddenly raised her head and said softly, ”Lu Tianxing, I don’t like the smell of hospitals. Can we go home this afternoon?”

”Go home?”

Lu Tianxing was slightly startled, looking into Bai Zhiqing’s eyes, and ultimately nodded, a gentle smile appearing on his face: ”No problem, we’ll go home this afternoon. But for now, your task is to enjoy my massage, rest well, and rejuvenate. I really don’t want my wife turning into a hag.”

”You’re the one with the yellow face.”

Bai Zhiqing retorted unhappily, quietly leaning into Lu Tianxing’s arms, basking in the gentleness from this man.

After an unknown period, Bai Zhiqing’s breathing had become very even, and she had fallen deep into sleep.

Seeing this, Lu Tianxing stopped his movements, gently placed Bai Zhiqing on the bed, and covered her with a blanket. Then he stood up and walked outside, planning to handle the discharge procedures at the hospital.

As he opened the door, Lu Tianxing saw a little head pressed against the door of the intensive care unit, seemingly trying to listen to the sounds inside. When the door opened, the little head quickly pulled back, and its owner looked at Lu Tianxing with an embarrassed expression.

Lu Tianxing looked at Lan Xin, who appeared before him with a face full of disbelief, saying, ”Secretary Lan, I find you have quite a few peculiar hobbies; not only do you like blocking my way, but now you’ve even taken up eavesdropping around corners. What’s next, are you planning to start peeping?”

As he spoke, Lu Tianxing walked out of the hospital room and casually closed the door behind him.

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Lan Xin’s face turned red, like a thief caught in the act, and she said somewhat unconvincingly, ”You... you can’t slander me like that! Am I eavesdropping? I was just here to deliver some documents to Mr. Bai. What’s wrong with that? Besides, you angered Mr. Bai so much yesterday, and yet you still dare to show up in front of him today. Aren’t you afraid Mr. Bai will tear you into pieces?”

”I am her husband. Have you ever seen a wife tear her husband to pieces?” Lu Tianxing rolled his eyes as he spoke.

”I haven’t.”

Lan Xin shook her head and said, ”However, I have seen a wife castrate her husband.”

As she spoke, Lan Xin circled around Lu Tianxing, looking at him admiringly and said, ”Lu Tianxing, do you know? In my entire life, I’ve never admired anyone, and now the only person I admire is you. You are so audacious. Having Mr. Bai as your wife, yet you still dare to flirt with Manager Lin. Aren’t you afraid they will tear you to shreds?”

”Ah, you know nothing. I’m not worried about them tearing me apart; I’m worried about whether I can even leave Modu alive,” Lu Tianxing glanced at Lan Xin and sighed softly.

”What do you mean by that?”

”Just think about Zhiqing’s reputation in Modu. From eighty-year-olds to three-year-old children, everyone knows her. I don’t know how many men adore her, love her, and want to marry her, and yet, I managed to get ahead of them. Do you think they would let me go? Right now, I’m worried about how I’ll get home. Let’s say I take a bus! With so many people, what if someone recognizes me and beats me up? Or if I take a taxi, what if the driver is a man who, feeling desperate, decides to take us both out? Ah, Secretary Lan, is being too outstanding a kind of sin? I now feel like I’m utterly wicked,” he said.

As he spoke, Lu Tianxing even gave a slight sigh, displaying an expression as lonely as snow.
