Chapter 974: Chapter 968: Can you take me home?

”Damn, Lu Tianxing, what kind of nonsense are you saying?”

Before Lu Tianxing could finish speaking, Tie Niu rudely interrupted him, ”Boss, since you treat us as your brothers, you don’t need to say things like this. When we joined the Netherworld Mercenary Corps together, we swore to live and die together. Now you want us to abandon our brothers and escape? Are you planning to make us carry the reputation of being ungrateful traitors? I’m telling you, I, Tie Niu, can’t do it.”

”Tie Niu is right, Boss. I’ve never been afraid of death, Fu Tu said firmly. If it weren’t for you, Tie Niu and I would have died years ago. From the moment you saved our lives, we were determined to follow you, even if it’s Hell or the Ghost Gate ahead of us. Even if we die, we’ll use our bodies to pave a path for you, because we are brothers. How many strong enemies have we encountered over the years? Was any battle not a near-death experience? Yet, we still made it through each time. We fear no one and nothing. Those who offend us will be hunted down, no matter how far.”

Hearing Tie Niu and Fu Tu’s words, Lu Tianxing took a deep breath and said heavily, ”You’re right, we are brothers. We share good fortune and hardship, live and die together. If a god stands in our way, we kill the god; if Buddha stands in our way, we kill the Buddha.”

”Slam!”

The three of them clasped their hands together heavily.

In life, having one soulmate and a group of brothers who stand through life and death is enough.

...

After driving Fu Tu and Tie Niu to the airport, instructing them to quickly improve their strength in Modu, Lu Tianxing drove them to the airport and did not hurry back to Purple Bamboo Villa but wandered around for over an hour, figuring Mu Qingxue should have left by now before driving towards Purple Bamboo Villa.

In his heart, Lu Tianxing really didn’t want to meet Mu Qingxue, because being with her would hurt those around him and Mu Qingxue as well.

You can be passionate, but you mustn’t be promiscuous; playing around is no different than being scum. Once involved with Mu Qingxue, he would have to take responsibility for her and couldn’t just watch as something happened to her. Yet, he’d eventually clash with the Mu Family, placing Mu Qingxue between her lover and kin, which would be the most painful scenario.

Rather than letting it start, it’s better to let it disappear before it begins.

”It seems I have to leave Beijing soon.”

Lu Tianxing took a deep breath, pulled a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it, hoping to numb his nerves with nicotine, but to no avail.

Twenty minutes later, Lu Tianxing returned to Purple Bamboo Villa and immediately saw Mu Qingxue standing alone by the roadside at the entrance of the villa. The breeze blew, lifting the hem of her skirt slightly, even making the hair on her head flutter, giving off a delicate and pitiful vibe.

Moreover, even though her mask covered most of her face, it couldn’t conceal her pure and refined aura that made it hard to look away.

In the summer breeze, Mu Qingxue wore a faint smile and a trace of anticipation, reminiscent of a wife waiting for her husband’s return. When Lu Tianxing’s car approached, Mu Qingxue’s eyes lit up, and she broke into a bright smile, her charming eyes filled with unconcealed joy.

Seeing this smile, Lu Tianxing sighed inwardly. There’s no avoiding it; he immediately drove the car next to Mu Qingxue, lowered the window glass slowly, and smiled at her, ”Miss Mu, are you still here? Where’s your driver? I don’t see them.”

”The car broke down; they went to fix it. I’ve been waiting for them here, but they haven’t returned.”

Mu Qingxue looked at Lu Tianxing, her voice slightly trembling, ”Mr. Lu, I have something urgent at home—could you take me home first?”

Lu Tianxing glanced at Mu Qingxue.

After meeting Lu Tianxing’s gaze, Mu Qingxue quickly said, ”If it’s inconvenient for you, forget it. I’ll just get a taxi home.”

”It’s alright, get in!”

Lu Tianxing acknowledged Mu Qingxue’s expectant eyes with a nod. He wasn’t a fool; how could he not understand Mu Qingxue’s words? Would the Eldest Lady Mu wait here for a driver to fix a car? One phone call and who knows how many vehicles from the Mu Family would come to pick her up.

But Mu Qingxue had said as much, could he still refuse?

In the end, he just didn’t want to see Mu Qingxue sad. After all, if any man faced a beauty who was deeply in love and thoughtful, saying he was indifferent would be a lie.

After hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Mu Qingxue immediately broke into a bright smile, rushed over, opened the car door, and got inside.

Seeing Mu Qingxue get in, Lu Tianxing turned the car around and once again left Purple Bamboo Villa.

”Mr. Lu, did my brother trouble you last night? I hope you won’t mind what my brother said. I am me, and my brother is my brother; he doesn’t represent me, and what he says has nothing to do with me.”

Mu Qingxue looked somewhat nervous at Lu Tianxing. She didn’t know what her brother had said to Lu Tianxing the previous night but could guess it was nothing pleasant. Their interaction must not have been very harmonious; otherwise, her brother wouldn’t have looked so grim upon returning.

Mu Qingxue’s nervousness was instantly felt by Lu Tianxing, who softly said, ”Miss Mu, I understand. I just had a conversation with your brother, and I don’t blame you.”

”Okay!”

Mu Qingxue nodded lightly like a little chick pecking rice.

Lu Tianxing didn’t speak further, leaving Mu Qingxue unsure of what to say, leading to an awkward silence in the car.

Time ticked away second by second, until Mu Qingxue turned and looked at Lu Tianxing, saying, ”Mr. Lu, I heard from Zhiqing that you’re leaving Beijing in a few days, is that right?”

”Yes!”

Lu Tianxing nodded without hiding, ”This time I’m mainly accompanying Zhiqing to Beijing for the Angel Group bidding conference. Once it’s over, I’ll be leaving Beijing.”

”Oh!”

Mu Qingxue nodded gently, looking at Lu Tianxing with some hesitation, ”Will you come back to Beijing after you leave?”

At this moment, Mu Qingxue’s hands were tightly clenched to the point of her fingertips turning slightly white, showing her nervousness or unease.

”Maybe I’ll come back.”

Lu Tianxing gave a vague answer.

”I see.”

Mu Qingxue took a deep breath and said after a moment of silence, ”Mr. Lu, I don’t want to return to the Mu Family; take me to my private apartment instead.”

Lu Tianxing said no more, focusing on driving the car towards her private apartment under Mu Qingxue’s guidance.
