Chapter 978: Chapter 972: Unexpected Encounter with Qiaoqiao

Listening to the beeping sound coming from the phone, Lu Tianxing shook his head, put his phone in his pocket, and stood up directly.

”Are you leaving?” Seeing this, Mu Qingxue asked softly.

”Yes!”

Lu Tianxing didn’t know how to answer and could only nod silently.

”Then you should go back first! Be careful on the road, I’m fine, don’t worry about me.” Mu Qingxue said softly as she looked at Lu Tianxing.

”You should take a good rest. If there’s anything you need my help with, just call me.”

Lu Tianxing sighed lightly, said nothing more, and turned to walk toward the door.

As Lu Tianxing reached the door, Mu Qingxue, who had been silent, suddenly called out to him: ”Lu Tianxing, if one day I become an ordinary woman and no longer the lady of the Mu Family, would you accept me?”

Lu Tianxing stopped in his tracks upon hearing this and slowly turned around, looking at the girl who loves him so painfully. He finally nodded heavily and said, ”I would.”

He couldn’t give Mu Qingxue much, perhaps only a glimmer of hope.

Upon hearing this answer, Mu Qingxue’s face lit up with a breathtaking smile: ”I understand.”

Lu Tianxing didn’t know how he left Mu Qingxue’s apartment. As he drove along the road, he opened the window, letting the breeze in, and lit a cigarette for himself, taking a deep draw and exhaling the smoke.

He didn’t know how to face Mu Qingxue in the future. Just as he’d said before leaving, if Mu Qingxue were an ordinary woman, he might choose to accept her.

But Mu Qingxue is a member of the Mu Family, a little princess of a top elite family in Beijing, while he, despite having some fame in Beijing, was still far from those deep-rooted families like the Mu Family. If he chose to accept Mu Qingxue, it would ultimately harm both her and himself.

Recalling Mu Qingxue’s sad and desperate eyes before he left, Lu Tianxing sighed slightly, a guilty smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. He couldn’t give Mu Qingxue any promises, nor dare to.

Because he knew very well that if he promised Mu Qingxue, given her character, she would certainly go all out. At that time, in conflict with the Mu Family, Mu Qingxue being caught in the middle might be the real beginning of pain.

”Sigh, forget it, don’t think about it anymore, things will work themselves out eventually.”

Lu Tianxing shook his head gently, throwing these thoughts aside. Mu Qingxue is now his woman; he took Mu Qingxue’s first time. He’s not someone who would act heartlessly. Though he may be powerless against the Mu Family now, it doesn’t mean he will be for life. If he can lead the Lu Family and become its head, and if Mu Qingxue still loves him by then, he’d gladly marry her.

However, leading the Lu Family is no easy task, a single misstep might even cost him his life.

Lu Tianxing left the apartment, Mu Qingxue sat alone on the sofa, tears streaking her cheeks, her heart still aching faintly.

”Lu Tianxing, do you know how much I love you? For you, I can give anything. I know you won’t accept me for the time being, but I will work hard, I will make you willingly accept me. I hope you remember your promise to me, if one day I become ordinary, I hope you’ll accept me.”

Mu Qingxue murmured softly, got out of bed wrapped in a blanket, her delicate eyebrows gently furrowing, her face slightly red as she folded away a white bedsheet stained with plum blossoms.

Lu Tianxing knew nothing about Mu Qingxue’s words. By this time, he had already driven to the entrance of a snack shop; he hadn’t had breakfast this morning, and after rolling in bed with Mu Qingxue, his energy was exhausted, leaving Lu Tianxing feeling rather hungry.

After parking his car by the roadside, Lu Tianxing took a deep breath and as he opened the car door to step out, the heaviness on his face disappeared completely, replaced by a carefree smile.

In that moment, Lu Tianxing regained his previous cavalier demeanor, as if he had no worries, but how many troubles he hid in his heart and what burdens he bore, no one knew.

Walking into this bustling breakfast noodle shop, Lu Tianxing ordered a bowl of beef ramen, quietly sitting in his spot and savoring it, pondering whether to go to the Purple Bamboo Villa or visit Sima Lingyun at the Yanhuang Group to get some insights.

After finishing the beef ramen, Lu Tianxing paid and walked straight out of the breakfast noodle shop. By then, the streets had filled with pedestrians, and Lu Tianxing was about to drive back to the villa when someone suddenly called out to him.

”Uncle.”

The voice was crisp, carrying a hint of familiarity. Lu Tianxing instinctively turned his head, only to see a lively and cute teenage girl approaching from across the street.

The girl was wearing a cartoon T-shirt, her lower half dressed in denim shorts, her long legs shimmering faintly in the sunlight, shoulder-length hair black and bright adorned with a cute pink hair clip.

A fresh-faced, youthful beauty untouched by makeup, yet within her brows lay traces of shy, natural charm. In a few years, this girl would surely blossom into a beautiful young woman, a stunning beauty.

”Qiaoqiao, is it you?”

Seeing the girl, Lu Tianxing was slightly taken aback as he hadn’t expected to encounter Qiaoqiao.

The girl in front of him was no other than Shen Manjun’s daughter, Qiaoqiao.

”Of course it’s me. Who else did you think would greet you, Uncle? Aren’t you a bit too narcissistic? With your looks, no beauty would look at you.”

Qiaoqiao approached Lu Tianxing confidently and asked, ”Uncle, how’s my outfit? Were you stunned? Does it particularly match your evil attributes?”

Lu Tianxing’s face dropped, realizing the little girl hadn’t changed at all, still as mischievous.

”You wish too much. I have no interest in scrawny girls like you. Even if you stripped in front of me, I wouldn’t look.”

”Is that so?”

Qiaoqiao tilted her head towards Lu Tianxing and chuckled, ”Uncle, you’re lying. Last time we video-called, your eyes were clearly glued, yet you say you have no evil attributes.”

”Qiaoqiao, can you stop being so self-absorbed? I was just worried you were cold.”

Lu Tianxing squeezed Qiaoqiao’s cheek good-naturedly and diverted the topic: ”By the way, Qiaoqiao, aren’t you supposed to be in class today?”
