Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Capítulo 1220: Chapter 1213: Human Shield

“Haha… ”

Seeing Wu Yue leaving in embarrassment, Xue Man couldn’t help but burst into laughter, giving Lu Tianxing a sideways glance and said, “Lu Tianxing, your act was pretty convincing. I’ll give you full marks. Did you see Wu Yue’s face? It was so awkward it was killing me. It was hilarious. That’s how you do it, make that guy realize your impressiveness.”

“Minister Xue, was that your suitor? You didn’t drag me out here today just to help you get rid of this guy, did you?” Lu Tianxing looked at Xue Man curiously and asked.

“In your dreams. You want to be my backup? Look at yourself! I wouldn’t want you even if you were free.” Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Xue Man feigned disdain and pouted, explaining, “He’s an old classmate of mine. I heard he went abroad afterward. He just returned recently. You have no idea how he’s been driving me crazy lately, sending flowers to my office every day. I have to throw them out each time. Sometimes, I really just want to smack him to death.”

As she finished speaking, Xue Man’s gaze involuntarily swept over Lu Tianxing, feeling a bit nervous, as if she was afraid Lu Tianxing might misunderstand something.

Upon hearing Xue Man’s words, Lu Tianxing nodded thoughtfully and curiously asked, “Do you know what he did after going abroad?”

“I don’t know.”

Xue Man shook her head and looked at Lu Tianxing, asking, “Why? Why are you suddenly asking about this?”

“No reason.”

Lu Tianxing shook his head and said, “Minister Xue, I suddenly realized you were quite the heartthrob back in school. With so many admirers, hasn’t there been anyone you’ve taken a liking to?”

“Lu Tianxing, what do you mean by that? Are you mocking me for having high standards?”

Hearing this, Xue Man glared at Lu Tianxing with beautiful eyes, as if she would flip out if Lu Tianxing didn’t give her a reasonable explanation.

Feeling the murderous gaze from Xue Man, Lu Tianxing awkwardly chuckled and said, “How could that be? I think having high standards is good. That way, you can choose a perfect partner. Otherwise, if you rashly get married, you might regret it for a lifetime. Minister Xue, what you’re doing is certainly worth other women learning from. Don’t marry easily, and you will find your perfect partner.”

“Hmph, considered yourself smart.”

Xue Man snorted proudly, curiously asking, “Lu Tianxing, why didn’t you confront him just now? He was clearly trying to step on you to show off.”

“If he wants to perform, let him. Life is like a play; if he wants to act, let him act. I’m fine being a supporting role. Besides, he hasn’t provoked me. What’s the point of confronting him? Or are you planning to have me crush him on a whim?” Lu Tianxing said nonchalantly.

“Crushing him would be too much. I thought you’d confront him without hesitation and dominate with, ‘Bodyguard instructor? Frankly, my wife earns more in a month than you will in your lifetime.’ But alas, you said nothing. Lu Tianxing, you’ve disappointed me.”

“Xue Man, what do you mean by that? Should I sue you for slander?”

“Slander? Go ahead. Lu Tianxing, you’re overestimating yourself. Do you think anyone would believe you? Do you have evidence? If you don’t believe me, I could shout, and countless people will come over to beat you up.”

“I believe it.”

“Hmph, considered yourself smart.”

As the two bickered while drinking tea, the just-departed Wu Yue suddenly reappeared.

“Your suitor is here again,” Lu Tianxing commented after hearing the footsteps, glancing back and addressing Xue Man.

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Xue Man rolled her eyes and said nothing.

Soon, Wu Yue came to Xue Man’s side with a warm smile on his face and said, “Xiao Man, when I was talking to you downstairs earlier, a few of my friends saw us. They insisted you were my girlfriend, no matter how much I explained. Now, they’re pestering me and insisting I bring you up to let you admit it yourself. Xiao Man, I wonder if you could join me…”

Before Wu Yue could finish, Xue Man interrupted him and said, “No.”

“Xiao Man, don’t get me wrong. I just hope you could clarify, I don’t mean anything else.”

“I said I’m busy, and also…”

Xue Man’s tone already carried a hint of impatience. Her eyes swept over to Lu Tianxing, who was sitting properly across and drinking tea, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face.

Seeing Xue Man’s smile, Lu Tianxing’s heart skipped a beat, thinking something was wrong, and suspected Xue Man was setting him up.

Out of instinct, Lu Tianxing lowered his head, looking indifferent to the matter, with his gaze peering out the window.

Seeing Lu Tianxing’s demeanor, Xue Man wanted to kick him out. Couldn’t this jerk help her shoo away this pest?

Xue Man took a deep breath, stood up from the chair, and under Wu Yue’s bewildered gaze, directly sat down beside Lu Tianxing. She naturally wrapped her arm around his, saying, “Moreover, my boyfriend is here. You asking me to clarify this so-called rumor in front of him, don’t you think that’s too much? And do you really think I would believe that about your friends?”

Feeling the soft sensation on his arm, Lu Tianxing instinctively wanted to refute, but before he could speak, his arm was painfully pinched. Seeing the warning look in Xue Man’s eyes, he could only let out a wry smile and say nothing.

At that moment, Lu Tianxing understood that he had become Xue Man’s shield.

To Lu Tianxing, he couldn’t voice his grievances, but in Wu Yue’s eyes, the exchanged glances between Xue Man and Lu Tianxing clearly appeared as flirtation. Furthermore, Lu Tianxing didn’t refute Xue Man’s words, which silently acknowledged their relationship.

More importantly, Xue Man had never had any intimate contact with any man at school, and some suitors were even beaten by her. Now she was clinging to Lu Tianxing’s arm. If you claimed there was nothing between them, Wu Yue wouldn’t believe it even if beaten to death, making his face turn somewhat sullen with a hint of anger in his eyes.

Ever since he accidentally ran into Xue Man on the street a few days ago, he had been completely captivated by her beauty. He couldn’t believe how the tomboyish Xue Man from back then had become so stunning, a full-fledged beauty.

From that moment on, he pursued Xue Man relentlessly, delivering three roses a day without fail, hoping to move her with sincerity. Moreover, all these days, he hadn’t seen Xue Man have any intimate interaction with any man. Therefore, he naturally assumed she was single, but now, Xue Man’s attitude towards Lu Tianxing indicated they were a couple.

Yet, when he spoke those words, Lu Tianxing remained indifferent, obviously seeing him as a joke and treating him like a clown.
