Chapter 1419: Chapter 1412: Playing Dumb for Love

”Blame you? Why would I blame you? Actually, from the moment we first met, I already guessed that Lu Tianxing was the man you talked about, the man who called you the ugly duckling. Later, in Beijing, I became more certain of it; otherwise, you wouldn’t have rushed to the Wang Family’s house in such a hurry. It was just a guess at that time, without real certainty about your feelings for Lu Tianxing. Until what happened today on Guanqian Street, I finally confirmed that you love Lu Tianxing.”

Bai Zhiqing looked at Mu Qingxue and slowly said, ”Actually, I wanted to have a private talk with you today not to ask you to stay away from Lu Tianxing. If I did that, I’m afraid Lu Tianxing would hate me for a lifetime. I don’t want him to have hatred for me in his heart.”

Upon hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, Mu Qingxue was a bit stunned, completely unable to react. She almost doubted what her ears had heard. How could she not have thought that Bai Zhiqing would answer her like this? How could it be possible that when a woman wants to fight you for a man, any other woman would be furious at the first instance?

Yet, Bai Zhiqing showed no signs of anger. How was this possible? Bai Zhiqing was so calm and indifferent; there was only one explanation: Bai Zhiqing simply didn’t love Lu Tianxing. But that was almost impossible. If Bai Zhiqing didn’t love Lu Tianxing, she wouldn’t have knelt before Holder willingly just for a slight chance, barely visible, to save Lu Tianxing back in New York.

Since Bai Zhiqing loved Lu Tianxing, why wasn’t she showing any anger now...

Mu Qingxue felt baffled at the moment, filled with confusion. What exactly did Bai Zhiqing want...

Bai Zhiqing, seeing the confusion on Mu Qingxue’s face, revealed a faint smile, as if she understood Mu Qingxue’s doubts, and gently said, ”Qingxue, do you find it strange that even though I know you want to fight me for a man, I am not angry, right?”

Upon hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, Mu Qingxue almost instinctively nodded.

”Because I love Lu Tianxing. I love him more than anyone else, so I don’t want to see him in pain. Also, I suppose you understand Lu Tianxing’s character very well. If he knows I drove you away from him, he might not blame me openly, considering I am his legally wedded wife, and it’s only reasonable for me to send away a mistress.”

Bai Zhiqing looked at Mu Qingxue and slowly said, ”But if I did that, he would possibly hold a lifelong grudge against me, even become estranged from me, thinking I am a malicious woman. That’s a result I do not want to see. Instead of that, why not lay everything on the table? It’s better for everyone. I won’t lash out at you, nor will I just stand by and watch you pursue my man. But I can turn a blind eye to it. If he truly accepts you, I welcome your involvement, but if he rejects you, that’s his choice. I only hope you won’t regret it in the end.”

After saying these words, Bai Zhiqing felt as if her heart had been pricked by something, causing her heart to ache as if cut by a knife, making it difficult to breathe, with an urge to cry. At this moment, she really wished Mu Qingxue would stay as far away from Lu Tianxing as possible. She really wanted to have Lu Tianxing all to herself, but she understood even more that sometimes you just can’t help it. She doesn’t want to lose Lu Tianxing, really doesn’t.

At this moment, Bai Zhiqing would rather play the fool for love. Moreover, Lu Tianxing will return to the Lu Family sooner or later and become the Third Young Master of Lu Family, the focus of everyone’s attention. At that time, the temptations Lu Tianxing faces will be much more than now. There are too many women wanting to ride on his coattails and become a phoenix. Rather than letting Lu Tianxing be seduced by those scheming women daily, she’d rather find a few reliable women to completely tie Lu Tianxing down.

Isn’t it normal for people from large families to have several wives and concubines?

Bai Zhiqing kept using these words to comfort herself, continually using a kind of Ah Q spirit to comfort herself, just because she loves Lu Tianxing.

”Sister Zhiqing, I’m sorry, I...”

Hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, Mu Qingxue’s pretty face carried a look of disbelief. No matter what, she couldn’t believe that Bai Zhiqing would agree to let her stay by Lu Tianxing’s side, and even not mind Lu Tianxing accepting her. This was really beyond her belief, as any woman would not choose to share her man with another woman.

”Qingxue, you have nothing to apologize to me for. I brought this on myself. Who made me fall in love with such a philandering man.”

Seeing Mu Qingxue’s nervous appearance, Bai Zhiqing showed a bitter smile, which soon disappeared, and she looked at Mu Qingxue and said, ”Forget it, let’s not talk about this bastard of a man. Let’s talk about something else! I wonder when your new album will be out, Qingxue. When it’s released, will you send me a signed CD? I am your fan, after all. You haven’t forgotten that you promised to send me a signed CD, have you?”

After hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, Mu Qingxue was slightly taken aback. She glanced at Bai Zhiqing’s calm expression and also selectively ignored the previous conversation, softly saying, ”The album is already in post-production, so it shouldn’t take long to be released. If you like it, Sister Zhiqing, I’ll send you a collector’s edition CD. How about that?”

”Great, I’ll congratulate you in advance on your album’s huge success, Qingxue.”

While Bai Zhiqing and Mu Qingxue were talking in the private room, at the door of Shiwei Xuan, Lu Tianxing was like an ant on a hot pan, feeling restless, frequently looking towards Shiwei Xuan, wishing he could rush upstairs right now.

You must know that the two women in the private room on the fifth floor now are his legally wedded wife and another who secretly loves him, with whom he had a complicated relationship. And don’t be fooled by Mu Qingxue’s gentle and weak appearance; her character is extremely stubborn. If Bai Zhiqing and Mu Qingxue were to disagree and fight in the private room, and if Mu Qingxue were to reveal her relationship with him, who knows if Bai Zhiqing would kill him on the spot.

”Manman, why don’t you go upstairs and check what your sister-in-law and Qingxue are doing? If you go, I’ll promise you one condition. Whatever you say, I’ll agree to it, how about that.” Waiting left and right, Lu Tianxing finally couldn’t hold it anymore and turned his eyes to Mandala standing next to him and said.

”Brother, do you take me for a fool?”

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Mandala rolled her eyes and said, ”Everyone knows it’s a powder keg in there right now. If I go in, I might end up blown to pieces. I’m not stupid! Now’s not the time to run into your wife’s bad mood. Plus, all this chaos is your own doing for flirting around; if you didn’t attract the bees and butterflies, none of this would have happened. If you ask me, your wife should just castrate you; that’d make things much simpler, and you wouldn’t have to worry about your backyard catching fire.”

Hearing Mandala’s words, Lu Tianxing felt the black lines forming on his face. What does she mean by he flirts around? This whole situation has nothing to do with him; it’s Mu Qingxue who practically jumped him, right? He even wants to find a place to speak out about it!

”Young Master Mu, why don’t you go up and check? Aren’t you worried about your sister’s safety?”

Seeing Mandala unwilling to go up, Lu Tianxing’s eyes flashed, and he immediately focused on Mu Qingchuan beside him. He thought Mu Qingchuan seemed very concerned about Mu Qingxue, so he might just go up.

Mu Qingchuan glanced at Lu Tianxing and said indifferently, ”I’m not worried. If there’s really a fight, the one at a disadvantage would be Bai Zhiqing. Your wife can’t beat my sister.”

”Oh, come on.”

Upon hearing Mu Qingchuan’s words, Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but curse, but he was helpless. It seemed Mu Qingchuan was right; if it really comes down to a fight, Bai Zhiqing definitely wouldn’t stand a chance against Mu Qingxue. After all, Mu Qingxue is the Mu Family’s eldest daughter. Although she hasn’t rigorously trained in martial arts, she’s not weak, and certainly not someone Bai Zhiqing, a chef with no formal training, could compare to.

Time passed little by little, and it seemed Bai Zhiqing and Mu Qingxue were having such a good time chatting in the private room that they hadn’t come out.

A few more minutes passed, and finally, Lu Tianxing couldn’t wait any longer.

”I can’t wait anymore. I need to go up and check.”

Speaking, Lu Tianxing was about to head toward the elevator.

At this moment, the exclusive elevator to the fifth floor suddenly opened. Lu Tianxing instinctively looked up ahead and immediately saw Bai Zhiqing and Mu Qingxue coming out of the elevator, chatting and laughing.

What the heck is going on!

Seeing this scene, Lu Tianxing’s face immediately showed a hint of confusion. This script seemed a bit wrong—weren’t the two women supposed to be at each other’s throats and fighting? How come now they look like they’re as close as sisters? Could it be he’s really overthinking it, and the two women were just having a simple conversation without discussing anything else?

Bai Zhiqing and Mu Qingxue walked out of the elevator, and upon seeing the dumbfounded Lu Tianxing standing there, a complex expression flashed across their pretty faces but quickly vanished without anyone noticing, not even Lu Tianxing, who had been watching them closely.

”Honey, you guys...”

”We’re fine.”

Bai Zhiqing and Mu Qingxue exchanged a glance, both wearing faint smiles: ”Qingxue, it’s getting late, you should go back to the hotel and rest. Remember to visit Modu when you have time to hang out with me.”

”Hehe, Sister Zhiqing, you should get some rest too. When you come to Beijing, I’ll definitely be your tour guide and show you around the city.”

”Qingxue, you said it. I’ll definitely come to Beijing to find you.”

”Haha, Sister Zhiqing, it’s a deal then, I’m off.”

”Mm, be careful on the road.”

After saying goodbye to Bai Zhiqing, Mu Qingxue glanced at Lu Tianxing, flashed a sweet smile, and without saying anything else, she left with Mu Qingchuan, heading outside and exiting Shiwei Xuan.
