Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Capítulo 1399: Chapter 1392: Crisis Descends

“Stop, Manman, I was wrong, I surrender, I surrender.”

Lu Tianxing finally couldn’t help but plead for mercy. He realized that if he didn’t, there was no way to get Mandala off him today. This girl was like an octopus, clinging tightly to him, but he couldn’t possibly fight back.

What’s more, Mandala wasn’t even behaving; she twisted around on his back vigorously. Plus, he was only wearing a thin T-shirt today, and could almost feel that softness, which inevitably sparked a flame inside him.

“Hmph, now you know to surrender. Then tell me, do I look pretty now?”

Mandala stopped moving, a blush crossing her pretty face, unsure if it was from embarrassment or from playing around with Lu Tianxing just now.

“Pretty, very pretty. Manman, you are incredibly beautiful, absolutely stunning, a Super Daji, surpassing Bao Si.” Lu Tianxing said with a bitter smile.

“Hmph, count yourself sensible.”

Hearing these words, Mandala then jumped off Lu Tianxing and hopped over to Bai Zhiqing, pulling her hand and saying, “Sister Zhiqing, don’t mind this two-faced guy, let’s go shopping. I just saw what seemed to be a hanfu shop up ahead, why don’t we go take a look? Come to think of it, I haven’t worn hanfu yet! When the time comes, I definitely have to wear a set, take some photos, and post them to my Moments to make Weiwei envious.”

“Sure, let’s go check it out together.”

Upon Mandala’s suggestion, Bai Zhiqing couldn’t help but look toward the hanfu shop not far away. Seeing some models dressed in hanfu walking in and out of the shop, Bai Zhiqing’s eyes lit up immediately. No woman can resist pretty clothes. After greeting Lu Tianxing, she and Mandala ran straight to the shop.

Watching Bai Zhiqing and Mandala walk away, Lu Tianxing was slightly taken aback, then bitterly shook his head.

In the coming time, Lu Tianxing finally understood why men dread accompanying women shopping and refer to it as a nightmare.

Two women shopping together is simply madness. Spending money like it’s nothing, he didn’t mind that much money, but it was exhausting. Virtually, they couldn’t leave a store in less than half an hour, and with each purchase, they had to ask him if it looked good. Whenever he said it did, Mandala would egg Bai Zhiqing on, saying he was being perfunctory and making him answer again. Not answering wasn’t an option.

After all that, Lu Tianxing didn’t know how he managed to get through it. He realized he had completely become a puppet on strings, constantly answering Bai Zhiqing’s questions, then pulling out his bank card to pay, carrying the bags and following Bai Zhiqing and Mandala away from the store, only to move on to the next.

Now, Lu Tianxing truly and completely experienced the terror that comes with women shopping. It’s practically life-threatening.

“Honey, isn’t this enough already? Shouldn’t we find a place to take a break, have a cup of coffee, and rest a bit before continuing?” Seeing that Bai Zhiqing and Mandala intended to go to the next store, Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but speak up.

It’s been over two hours, he hadn’t stopped for over two hours. If this kept up, Lu Tianxing felt like he wouldn’t need any enemies to take him down; Mandala and Bai Zhiqing would wear him out.

“Bro, why are you so weak? We’ve only shopped a few stores, haven’t we? Just a little bit and you’re tired?” Mandala turned around, looking at Lu Tianxing and said.

Hearing this, Lu Tianxing almost spat blood in frustration. They only shopped in a few stores indeed, but the key point was that he had to follow them every step of the way, without resting. Lu Tianxing strongly suspected that Mandala was getting back at him for what happened this morning.

“Manman, let’s be fair here, have you really only shopped a few stores? You’ve practically swept through several! If some clothes weren’t suitable for you, you’d probably clear out the entire store.” Lu Tianxing said speechlessly, lifting the numerous shopping bags hanging from him.

“Bro, what do you mean by ‘sweeping through’? Haven’t you heard the saying that stores out there are a woman’s closet? How is it a big deal for us to browse through our own closet? What’s the deal, are you upset about spending your money, or do you simply not like Sister Zhiqing dressing beautifully?”

Mandala’s eyes shone with a dangerous light, her smile like that of a sly fox.

“Oh, come on.”

Lu Tianxing nearly fell over at Mandala’s words. This girl was definitely digging a pit for him.

“Honey, you must trust me, I absolutely didn’t mean that. This is all nonsense from Manman. I was just worried that you’ve been shopping for too long and might need a break to continue shopping. After all, as the saying goes, combining work and rest ensures better productivity, right?”

“You’re right, then let’s find a place to rest for a bit.”

Bai Zhiqing looked at Lu Tianxing, smiled, and nodded.

Seeing Bai Zhiqing nod, Lu Tianxing’s eyes lit up instantly, and he chuckled, “Darling, I just saw a leisure coffee house nearby. Why don’t we go sit there for a while?”

“Okay.”

The three of them immediately headed toward a nearby leisure coffee house.

At this moment, a woman with a child of about seven or eight years old was heading toward Lu Tianxing, Bai Zhiqing, and others. Perhaps due to the child’s mischievousness, just as they were about to approach Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing, the child suddenly wrenched free from the woman’s hand and ran towards Lu Tianxing, only to crash hard into Lu Tianxing because of the rush.

The woman quickly ran over, grabbed the child, and looked at Lu Tianxing with a face full of panic and apology, saying, “Sir, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I wasn’t paying attention to the child just now, I’m really sorry.”

“It’s fine.”

Lu Tianxing glanced at the woman and child and said with a smile, “But you need to be more careful next time. After all, this is a commercial street with cars coming and going. If he runs onto the road, that wouldn’t be good.”

“Thank you, sir, you’re a good person.”

The woman joyfully bowed to Lu Tianxing, pulling the child away into the distance.

Watching the woman and child brush past them and disappear into the crowd, Lu Tianxing’s face suddenly became cold, extremely serious. He didn’t know why, but his nerves tightened all of a sudden after the woman and child left. A strong warning erupted from deep within his heart, as if a fierce, bloodthirsty beast had fixed its gaze on him.

“What’s wrong, Lu Tianxing? Did something happen? Your face looks a bit off,” Bai Zhiqing noticed Lu Tianxing’s sudden change and asked softly.

“Nothing, maybe I was just imagining things!”

Lu Tianxing took a deep breath, looked at Mandala, and said, “Manman, did you sense it?”

“I sensed it—a very dangerous vibe, as if we’re being targeted by some predatory animal. I feel really jittery now, as if we’ll be in danger if we don’t leave here.”

Mandala’s face was also extremely serious. Though her strength wasn’t strong, her sensitivity to danger was no less. At that moment, she too sensed a hint of danger, enough to completely threaten her life.

Hearing Mandala’s words, Lu Tianxing’s brow furrowed tightly. The feeling of apprehension in his heart grew larger and larger. His whole body muscles were taut, feeling that danger was looming, and death beckoned, yet he couldn’t pinpoint where the danger was coming from.

“Bro, do you think there’s something wrong with that mother and child? After all, this danger came upon us after they appeared. It can’t be just a coincidence!” Mandala said solemnly.

“Mother and child?”

Lu Tianxing suddenly snapped back to reality upon hearing Mandala’s words, recalling the moment with the child, his face changed instantly. Not bothering to speak with Mandala, he quickly threw all the tote bags to the ground, and started searching through them rapidly.

Seeing this, Bai Zhiqing was slightly taken aback, “What’s wrong?”

Lu Tianxing didn’t speak, just rummaged through each tote bag. When he found one particular bag, his pupils contracted sharply, and a chilling killing intent emanated from him, causing the temperature around to plummet dramatically, akin to a wintry deep freeze, making one shiver involuntarily.

Inside that tote bag were some trinkets Bai Zhiqing and Mandala bought from an antique boutique store, very intricate and beautiful looking. But among these beautiful looking trinkets was an object about the size of a thumb mixed in with them, with several flashing red lights on it, blinking conspicuously.

After sensing Lu Tianxing’s change, Bai Zhiqing and Mandala instinctively shifted their gaze to the tote in Lu Tianxing’s hand.

“H-129 miniature explosive.”

Upon seeing the item in the tote bag, Mandala’s face turned exceptionally unpleasant, emitting a sound of disbelief.

After hearing Mandala, Bai Zhiqing asked puzzledly, “Manman, what is an H-129 miniature explosive?”

PS: The chapters updated these days were published regularly while in an internet cafe. I ordered a laptop online, bought from a certain brand’s official website. The shipping speed is slow enough, but damn, they sent it via EMS, I don’t know what to say. Has to really be this messed up?
