Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 1059: Chapter 1053: Falling Flowers Are Intentional, Flowing Water Is Ruthless

Watching Lu Tianxing and Xue Man bicker, Huang Sumei’s smile grew even brighter. She laughed and said, “Alright, alright, you two stop bickering and hurry up and eat before the food gets cold.”

“Thank you, Auntie.”

Lu Tianxing smiled slightly and didn’t say anything more. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating. He had to admit, Huang Sumei’s cooking was really good. Although it couldn’t compare to a chef’s skills, it gave a homely feeling that couldn’t be found in a hotel.

The three of them ate and chatted casually. Gradually, the relationship between Lu Tianxing and Huang Sumei became less formal, and their conversations were no longer constrained.

“Tianxing, I heard from Xiao Man that you also work for Bai’s Group?” Huang Sumei asked, looking at Lu Tianxing.

“Yes, I’m also with Bai’s Group, currently working as the chairman’s assistant.” Lu Tianxing said with a smile after eating a piece of beef.

“What do your parents do?”

“I grew up in an orphanage,” Lu Tianxing said softly.

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, a hint of apology immediately appeared on Huang Sumei’s face: “Tianxing, I’m sorry, I didn’t know. Please don’t take it to heart…”

“Auntie, it’s nothing. I don’t blame you,” Lu Tianxing shook his head and said.

When Xue Man heard Lu Tianxing mention growing up in an orphanage, and especially when she saw the calmness in his eyes, she inexplicably felt a wave of sadness. She’s not foolish; although Lu Tianxing appeared calm, it didn’t mean that there was no sorrow in his heart. On the contrary, he hid all his sadness inside, which was the most painful. Expressing oneself is the best way to release sorrow, while suppression is the most painful method.

Xue Man never thought that the seemingly carefree Lu Tianxing was suppressing so much inside.

Just then, Lu Tianxing’s phone rang from his pocket.

He glanced at the caller ID and gave an apologetic look to Huang Sumei, “Auntie, I’m sorry, I have to take this call.”

Huang Sumei nodded with a smile.

Lu Tianxing slowly stood up and walked towards the balcony.

“Honey, did you call me for something?”

“When are you planning to come back?”

“Haha, are you worried about me, honey?”

“I’m worried you’ll be charmed by some wildflower out there. Lu Tianxing, don’t blame me if I haven’t warned you. If you’re not back by midnight, Qian Ru and I will go party at a bar. Imagine what will happen when two beauties show up at a bar, especially drunk.”

“Uh, honey, do you have to be so harsh?”

Lu Tianxing’s face turned dark at the thought of two stunning beauties drunk at a bar, it was easy to imagine the trouble.

“For someone like you who often attracts wildflowers, I think this tactic is quite necessary.”

“Alright then! I’ll hurry back and ensure I won’t be charmed by any wildflowers.”

“I hope so.”

With that, Bai Zhiqing hung up the phone without giving Lu Tianxing a chance to speak further.

Hearing the beeps from the phone, Lu Tianxing turned and walked back into the room, looking apologetic towards Huang Sumei, “Auntie, I’m sorry, I have some matters to handle and I might need to leave now.”

“It’s alright.”

Huang Sumei nodded understandingly, “Men should prioritize their careers, I understand.”

“Then, Auntie, goodbye. I’ll come visit you again when I get a chance.”

“No problem, but next time don’t bring any gifts, or I’ll kick you out.”

“Hehe, as long as I’m not disturbing you, Auntie. I must say, your cooking is really good.”

“I’m glad you like it. Xiao Man, escort Tianxing out.”

Lu Tianxing and Xue Man left the room and took the elevator downstairs.

“Lu Tianxing, that was Zhiqing calling, right?”

Xue Man asked, slightly repressing her tone.

Lu Tianxing nodded gently, not hiding anything, “She was worried about me and called to check in.”

“Are you sure she was worried about you being in trouble and not about you being a flirt?”

“Minister Xue, if you say that, I’ll sue you for slander. How could a morally upright and pure person like me be that type?”

Xue Man chuckled softly, “Then, can you explain who Qian Ru is?”

“Uh!”

Lu Tianxing rubbed his nose, chuckling awkwardly, “We’re true love.”

“Really?”

Xue Man didn’t press it further and changed the subject, “Lu Tianxing, do you want me to drive you back?”

“No, it’s okay, I’ll just take a taxi. It’s not very far,” Lu Tianxing shook his head, declining her kind offer.

As the elevator doors slowly opened, “Minister Xue, you can stop here. I’ll head back now.”

“Okay, be careful on your way home.”

“I will,” Lu Tianxing nodded, stepping out of the elevator.

Watching Lu Tianxing walk out of the elevator, Xue Man had a bitter smile on her lips. She kept reminding herself that Lu Tianxing was married with two women, attempting to distance herself from him. But for some reason, every time she saw Lu Tianxing, all her resistance vanished as her feelings poured out uncontrollably like a flooded river.

“Xue Man, you should give up! He’s married, and his wife is much more outstanding than you. Besides, with your fiery temper, who would even like you?”

Xue Man quietly rebutted herself, lightly pressing the elevator button. Watching the elevator doors close slowly, she breathed a small sigh in her heart.

The elevator ascended to the seventh floor.

As soon as she entered home, Huang Sumei’s voice rang out.

“Xiao Man, has Tianxing left?”

“Yes, I offered to drive him back, but he declined,” Xue Man nodded.

Huang Sumei looked at Xue Man’s dispirited appearance and sighed gently, “Xiao Man, honestly, tell mom, do you like Tianxing?”

Hearing her mother’s words, Xue Man was slightly stunned, quickly shaking her head, “Mom, don’t talk nonsense, I… I couldn’t possibly like him, and… besides, he’s already married, his wife is our company’s chairman.”

“What, did you say Tianxing is married?”

Stunned by Xue Man’s words, Huang Sumei took a while to recover, regretfully saying, “That’s such a shame. I originally thought of him as a potential son-in-law, but it looks like there’s no hope.”

“Mom, I’m a bit tired today, I’m going to my room,” Xue Man said, turning and heading for her room.

Huang Sumei watched her daughter’s departing figure and sighed softly. Xue Man was her daughter; how could she not know what was on her mind? But feelings couldn’t be forced. Ultimately, it was the unrequited love that couldn’t find its way, reminding herself it was too late to do anything about it.
