Chapter 768: Chapter 763 Are You Out of Your Mind?

If being outstanding is a crime, I’ve realized I’m utterly criminal!

Hearing Lu Tianxing boasting about himself like that, Lan Xin wished she could take off her shoes and throw them smack into Lu Tianxing’s face. How shameless could he be? Although she was already well aware of Lu Tianxing’s thick skin, it seemed to have gotten even thicker at that moment. Utterly criminal, indeed. Why not also claim that if being handsome could feed you, you’d be able to support the whole world?

Lan Xin rolled her eyes and said in exasperation, ”Lu Tianxing, you think too highly of yourself. They’re not going to beat you up or die alongside you. At most, they’ll castrate you and put you in a museum for display, as the last eunuch of the twenty-first century.”

Upon hearing Lan Xin’s words, Lu Tianxing’s face instantly darkened, and he looked at her annoyed, saying, ”Secretary Lan, you’re really low, not bothering to help me out and instead kicking me when I’m down. Regardless, I am, after all, your fake boyfriend. Can’t you wish me a little bit of goodwill?”

When Lan Xin heard this from Lu Tianxing, her expression froze, and she said furiously, ”Lu Tianxing, you’ve got some nerve bringing this up. You say you’re married to Mr. Bai, then it’s done, but could you not let the paparazzi snap pictures of it? Do you know how my night went after I got home yesterday? My mom scolded the hell out of me and almost kicked me out. Look at these huge dark circles under my eyes. That’s all your doing. Don’t you know that lack of sleep is a woman’s worst enemy? What if I ended up disfigured?”

”Secretary Lan, let’s speak with some conscience here, shall we? It was you who asked me to pretend to be your boyfriend in the first place. How is it my problem now when there’s trouble? Besides, I told you from the start to come clean to your parents, but you wouldn’t believe me and kept stubbornly resisting. If you hadn’t done that, none of this would’ve happened. Now I’m worried your parents will come after me for trouble! Saying I led you on and then abandoned you, wouldn’t that ruin my reputation?” Lu Tianxing complained with frustration, not having anticipated things would turn out this way.

”Reputation? Assistant Lu, you think too highly of yourself. As if you have any reputation to speak of. Now, to all the women at Bai’s Group, you’re nothing but the epitome of a scumbag, always looking for the next best thing while enjoying what’s already in your bowl. But I have to say, I admire you. Having a beautiful wife like Mr. Bai and still daring to flirt around right under her nose within her company, your nerve is commendable indeed.”

Lan Xin looked at Lu Tianxing with feigned admiration, thinking to herself, his nerves were too big indeed. Being Bai Zhiqing’s man and still daring to flirt around in his own wife’s company—it was a kind of courage that demanded respect.

”Um!”

At Lan Xin’s words, Lu Tianxing pinched her cheek, annoyed, and said, ”Secretary Lan, you really should take responsibility for what you say. Who have I flirted with, exactly? You’re the one who stops me every day as soon as I get to the office. If anyone’s doing the flirting, it’s you flirting with me. I’m the victim here.”

”Nonsense. That was before I knew you were Mr. Bai’s husband. Otherwise, do you think I’d give you a second glance? Dark and sullen-looking, why don’t you just go back to Africa!” Lan Xin said, almost losing her temper at Lu Tianxing.

”Now that you know, isn’t it just the same as before? Except now, you’ve gotten bolder, even eavesdropping.”

”I... I...”

For a moment, Lan Xin found herself at a loss for words, struggling to find a response. It took her a while to continue, ”Was I eavesdropping? It was out of pity for you. Just in case Mr. Bai castrates you, as your friend, I could at least call for help. Maybe they could even sew it back on. While it might not work, you’d still be a complete man at least.”

”Sympathize with me? I’ve been kicked out and now I have to sleep on a couch all by myself. I don’t know if you could take some pity on me and give me half your bed.”

Lu Tianxing looked at Lan Xin, revealing his true nature once again in just a few words.

Lan Xin’s pretty face flushed with a whoosh, and she glared at Lu Tianxing before gritting her teeth and saying, ”No problem, as long as Mr. Bai and President Lin agree, I have no objections. So, do you dare or not?”

Upon hearing Lan Xin’s words, Lu Tianxing shivered intensely. To let Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru agree, what an international joke! If he dared to utter those words, Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru might unite in their hatred against him and castrate him without hesitation.

For a moment, Lu Tianxing wished he could slap himself. If only he had known how fierce Lan Xin was, he would have died before saying such a thing. Now, he had trapped himself in a dead end.

”What’s the matter, Assistant Lu? You look rather unwell. Don’t tell me you’re scared? Or are you just a henpecked husband who only talks big?”

Lan Xin looked at Lu Tianxing with a satisfied smile on her face. After sparring with him for so long, she had always ended up on the losing side. But this time, she had finally scored a victory. The feeling was exhilarating, even better than drinking an ice-cold sour plum soup on a sweltering summer day.

Watching Lan Xin’s provocative stance, Lu Tianxing had a bitter smile in his heart. In the past, he might not have minded teaching Lan Xin a lesson she’d never forget, to let her learn what it cost to challenge a normal man. But now, he truly didn’t dare. If he touched Lan Xin and Bai Zhiqing or Lin Qianru were to see it, would he still have a life to live? It wasn’t easy to handle Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru, and if countless issues arose because of this, it would be a huge loss for him.

”Lu Tianxing, you don’t dare, do you? I knew you were a henpecked husband. Today, I’m feeling generous and won’t tell Mr. Bai. But if you dare to cross me, I’ll tell Mr. Bai you harassed me and let him teach you a harsh lesson,” Lan Xin said with a look that warned if he messed with her again, he’d be in big trouble, smiling at Lu Tianxing.

”Oh, Secretary Lan, I’ve always thought that the bigger the capital, the more senseless one becomes. But your assets aren’t that substantial—so why the lack of brains? Do you think any man with a modicum of sense would boast about cheating and let his wife find out? Secretary Lan, there must be something wrong with your brain, and luckily we’re in a hospital. You should go get your head checked quickly. Ah, to be so young and already brain-damaged, don’t be foolish in the future...”

Lu Tianxing looked at Lan Xin, not willing to admit defeat. He reached out and pinched her cheeks hard a couple of times, then shook his head and sighed as he walked toward the elevator.

Lan Xin stood frozen in place for a long while before snapping back to reality. She waved her fists toward the direction where Lu Tianxing disappeared, baring her teeth and muttering, ”Lu Tianxing, you’re the one with a brain problem. We’ve forged an enmity today. If I don’t get my revenge, I’ll take your surname.”

After that, Lan Xin seemed to recall something, a hint of sadness involuntarily appearing in her eyes. She heaved a deep sigh, her beautiful eyes flickering nonstop, pondering over something, calculating some hidden
