Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Capítulo 1212: Chapter 1205: A Jade Pendant

In the morning, the sun slowly rose from the horizon, its rays spreading across every corner of the city, dispelling the darkness and bringing the city back to life, turning bustling and lively once more.

Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing got up early. After having breakfast and saying goodbye to the elders, they didn’t linger long at the Bai Family’s rental house. They directly left and drove straight to Bai’s Group.

At eight-thirty, Bai Zhiqing and Lu Tianxing arrived punctually at Bai’s Group.

After parking the car in the lot, Bai Zhiqing naturally linked arms with Lu Tianxing, affectionately walking towards the hall of Bai’s Group, not caring about any potential impact.

To Bai Zhiqing, since she had already admitted Lu Tianxing was her husband and had met Lu Tianxing’s family, they had almost all the aspects of a married couple except for a wedding. Naturally, there was no reason to care about others’ opinions. Besides, almost everyone at Bai’s Group knew about her relationship with Lu Tianxing, so there was no point in hiding it. Also, she wasn’t a celebrity to deny getting married.

“Good morning, Chairman.”

“Good morning, Chairman.”

“Good morning, Assistant Lu.”

Some employees of Bai’s Group, upon seeing Bai Zhiqing, instinctively bowed their heads, respectfully greeting her. Of course, some greeted Lu Tianxing. As for the scene of Bai Zhiqing and Lu Tianxing walking arm in arm, they pretended not to see it. If a couple didn’t walk arm in arm, that would be the real suspicion.

“Honey, why don’t you go up first, and I’ll head to the office later,” Lu Tianxing said to Bai Zhiqing as they stepped into the elevator.

“Where do you want to go?” Bai Zhiqing tilted her head to look at Lu Tianxing.

“I’m going to meet some old friends from the company,” Lu Tianxing replied.

Bai Zhiqing gave Lu Tianxing a look, and without thinking, extended her slender finger to pinch Lu Tianxing hard at his waist, causing him to grimace in pain.

Why do women all know this trick, pinching people without warning, and always choosing the most painful spots?

“Honey, why did you pinch me?”

“Why do you think I pinched you?”

Bai Zhiqing glared at Lu Tianxing, unhappy, and said, “Going to meet old friends? Lu Tianxing, don’t think I don’t know who you want to see? What’s the matter, haven’t seen your little lover in so many days, really miss her? Is spending every day with me boring you, annoying you, planning to find your little lover to pour out your heart?”

Bai Zhiqing’s voice was full of jealousy, and it was jealousy that could span ten miles.

However, Bai Zhiqing wasn’t wrong. Lu Tianxing indeed planned to meet Lin Qianru. After all, he hadn’t seen her in days and genuinely missed Lin Qianru a bit. Although they kept in touch over the phone, calls didn’t have the warmth of face-to-face meetings.

Looking at Bai Zhiqing’s jealous expression, Lu Tianxing chuckled and said, “Honey, don’t joke around. You’re such a beautiful woman; I’d love to spend every day with you! I’m really just going to see old friends. If you don’t believe me, you’re completely welcome to come along.”

“Forget it, you think I have as much free time as you do, if you want to see Qian Ru just go!”

Bai Zhiqing waved her hand, ignored Lu Tianxing, and took the elevator straight to the top floor. After Bai Zhiqing walked out of the elevator, Lu Tianxing pressed the button for the sales department’s floor.

When the elevator stopped, Lu Tianxing hummed a tune, swaggering into Lin Qianru’s office only to be told that Lin Qianru had stepped out for a moment.

Lu Tianxing didn’t leave but went directly into Lin Qianru’s office, picking up Lin Qianru’s usual cup on the desk to make himself a cup of coffee, then casually turning on Lin Qianru’s computer, planning to watch the latest movie.

After about ten minutes, the office door was pushed open, and Lin Qianru walked in from outside. Seeing Lu Tianxing sitting at her desk, a look of surprise flashed across her pretty face. She quickly shut the door and strode over to Lu Tianxing.

“Tianxing, you’re back. Why didn’t you call me?”

“Hehe, I wanted to give you a surprise, didn’t I?”

Lu Tianxing waved his hand, signaling Lin Qianru to come closer, then put his arm around Lin Qianru’s slender waist, pulling her into his arms.

“Qianru, sorry for making you worried and frightened during this time,” Lu Tianxing took a deep breath, apologetically looking at Lin Qianru.

During this time in Jiangnan, he and Lin Qianru were in contact almost daily by phone. He could clearly feel the worry and fear in Lin Qianru’s voice, and for a man to make his woman worry and fear out of love, that completely makes him an unfit husband.

“Tianxing, you don’t need to apologize to me because I love you. To me, missing someone is also happiness; this is true love.”

Seeing Lu Tianxing’s somewhat remorseful expression, Lin Qianru shook her head, gave Lu Tianxing a warm smile, and changed the subject: “Tianxing, you’ve been in Jiangnan for so long, did you bring me any gifts? If not, be careful or I’ll punish you.”

With that, Lin Qianru playfully waved her fist at Lu Tianxing like a little girl.

Seeing Lin Qianru acting like a little girl, Lu Tianxing couldn’t resist kissing her cheek, teasingly saying, “Qianru, you’re too harsh. If I say I didn’t bring any gifts, would you hit me?”

“Guess whether I’d hit you?” Lin Qianru said with a playful smile.

“I guess you wouldn’t because you’re reluctant to.”

Lu Tianxing gave Lin Qianru a slight smile, reached out to straighten her somewhat messy hair, and pulled out a jewelry box from his pocket, handing it to Lin Qianru: “Here, this is the gift I prepared for you. See if you like it.”

“What’s this?” Lin Qianru asked curiously.

“Just open it yourself, and you’ll find out.”

Lu Tianxing chuckled. He had heard that there was a carving master in the Lu Family, and specially took a top-quality jade from Lu Haoyue to have this master carve it into a jade pendant, shaped after him.

Besides getting Lin Qianru a jade pendant, he also had several of these pendants carved. After all, giving one to Lin Qianru without giving to other women might cause issues.

More importantly, Lin Qianru cared immensely about him, yet he couldn’t give Lin Qianru a perfect love, or even a perfect wedding. Perhaps only this way could he alleviate a little of his guilt while telling this woman in front of him that she holds a place in his heart, forever remembered.
