Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 1508: Chapter 1501: Luan Hongyue’s Inferiority

Lin Yafei paused for a moment upon hearing Luan Hongyue’s words, then smiled and said, ”Why would he look down on you? Do you think he cares about others’ opinions? If he truly cared, he wouldn’t have helped you break free from the Luan Family’s control, or personally gone to the Jiang Family to rescue you, and he certainly wouldn’t have brought you into Bai’s Group to work.”

”But so what? Even if he could accept me, I’m afraid I couldn’t get past my own hurdles. I don’t want to destroy the relationship between him and Zhiqing. I can see that Zhiqing loves him very much, and he loves her just as much. Besides, he already has women like you around him; how could I possibly deserve him? I only hope that when he needs it, I can help him. That’s enough for me.” Luan Hongyue gazed at Lin Yafei and sighed.

If she were a pure and unblemished woman, without a tarnished reputation, she might choose to pursue Lu Tianxing. But now, she feels she’s not worthy of him.

Looking at Luan Hongyue’s expression, Lin Yafei gave a wry smile. Sometimes, she really couldn’t understand what kind of charm Lu Tianxing had, that could make so many beautiful women, a rarity for ordinary people, willingly sacrifice for him, even without regret.

”Are you just going to give up like this?”

”What else can I do if I don’t give up?”

Luan Hongyue said with a bitter smile, ”With so many women around him, and a beautiful, gentle, and elegant wife, could he possibly notice me? Even if he did, would the Lu Family accept a woman with a tarnished reputation? In this case, it’s better to cut it off cleanly. Procrastinating would harm everyone in the end.”

Seeing Luan Hongyue’s current state, Lin Yafei sighed heavily. It’s said that longing is a blade that kills silently, but isn’t love also a steel knife that scrapes the bone, leading people to sink silently into it, never to climb out again.

However, she was much luckier than Luan Hongyue. Even though she had also missed Lu Tianxing and fallen in love with him, at least now she was his woman. Her efforts had paid off, which was worth it. But Luan Hongyue could only harbor a secret love, without any outcome, which is the most painful thing for a woman.

”Alright, let’s stop talking about these things. Yafei, I wonder if you have time. How about the two of us go out for a cup of coffee?”

Luan Hongyue took a deep breath, glanced at Lin Yafei, and a smile once again appeared on her charming face.

At this moment, Luan Hongyue put on a mask again, hiding all her longing and love deep in her heart.

”Sure! I know a great new café that just opened nearby. Why don’t we go there and sit for a bit?”

Seeing the smile on Luan Hongyue’s face, Lin Yafei was momentarily stunned, but quickly snapped back to her senses, nodding with a smile.

Unaware of the dialogue between Lin Yafei and Luan Hongyue, Lu Tianxing took the elevator to the top floor and headed towards Bai Zhiqing’s office. Just as he rounded a corner, he saw Lan Xin bending over her desk, working on some documents, and a smile appeared on his face as he prepared to approach Lan Xin to tease the young woman.

However, before taking his first step, Lu Tianxing paused for a moment as he looked at Lan Xin, then immediately turned around and headed toward Bai Zhiqing’s office without any hesitation.

”Hmph, good thing that bastard knows better, otherwise I’d kill him.”

Seeing Lu Tianxing turn away, Lan Xin snorted heavily, gritting her teeth as she placed a small knife on the desk. If that bastard had dared to come closer just now, she wouldn’t have minded adding a few more holes to his body.

Once inside the office, Bai Zhiqing was still bent over her work.

Upon hearing the door open, Bai Zhiqing slowly lifted her head, glanced at Lu Tianxing, and then looked down before saying, ”What, back from your gallivanting outside?”

Startled by Bai Zhiqing’s words, Lu Tianxing paused, ”You know?”

”What do you think?” Bai Zhiqing replied without looking up.

Lu Tianxing chuckled awkwardly, scratching his nose, ”Honey, actually, I just went to see Qian Ru, but I can assure you, I didn’t do anything, and I left shortly after. I even met with Minister Xue...”

”What did you say? Not only did you go see Qian Ru, but you also went to see Xiao Man?”

Bai Zhiqing sharply lifted her head, her face frosty as she looked at Lu Tianxing.

”Didn’t you already know?”

”I thought you might go see Qian Ru, but I didn’t expect you’d also go see Xiao Man. Oh, you Lu Tianxing, just back at the company and already starting again with your flirting. Do you want to turn the entire Bai’s Group into your harem?”

As she spoke, Bai Zhiqing directly threw the pen she was holding at Lu Tianxing.

Seeing the pen flying swiftly at him, Lu Tianxing hurriedly reached out to grab it.

”Honey, what’s wrong? I only went to see Minister Xue because he needed some help from me, that’s all.” Lu Tianxing swung his arm, tossing the pen into the pen holder by Bai Zhiqing’s side, speaking with a bitter smile.

”Help?”

”Yeah.”

Lu Tianxing decisively nodded: ”Minister Xue said she’s attending a class reunion and is afraid of being mocked for still being single and unwanted, so she’s planning to have me pretend to be her boyfriend and go with her to the reunion.”

Lu Tianxing gave a simple description of the situation with Xue Man, but he wouldn’t dare tell Bai Zhiqing what actually happened, or Bai Zhiqing would definitely kick him off the rooftop without hesitation.

”So you’re saying you agreed?”

”Of course, I agreed, there’s nothing to lose, and I get free food and drinks, why not!”

”Really?”

Bai Zhiqing’s gaze fixed intensively on Lu Tianxing, like a knife, looking him up and down: ”Lu Tianxing, are you being so kind-hearted? Tell me honestly, do you have any ulterior motives?”

Feeling Bai Zhiqing’s aggressive gaze, Lu Tianxing’s face suddenly turned dark, damn, if he had known, he wouldn’t have said anything, besides, even if he had feelings for Xue Man, he’d need the courage to act on them. For all he knows, if he tried something with Xue Man, she’d wake up in the middle of the night and pull a nasty move on him, and he’d be doomed.

”Wifey, are you teasing me?”

With a mournful face, Lu Tianxing looked at Bai Zhiqing and said, ”I might want to do something to Minister Xue, but I need the guts to do that, and you know the kind of person Minister Xue is. If I dared to do anything, she’d destroy me. I don’t want to become a eunuch from now on, so when she asks me to pretend to be her boyfriend, how can I refuse?”

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words and seeing the extremely wronged look on his face, Bai Zhiqing couldn’t help herself and laughed, the coldness on her face disappearing in an instant.

Seeing the smile on Bai Zhiqing’s face, Lu Tianxing was momentarily stunned. Although she smiled more after being with him, Lu Tianxing still found her smile charming, like a snow lotus blooming on an iceberg, impossibly beautiful and mesmerizingly captivating.

Seeing the infatuated look on Lu Tianxing’s face, Bai Zhiqing’s cheeks couldn’t help but flush as she playfully scolded, ”What are you looking at? We’ve been together for ages, it’s not like you haven’t seen it before...”

Hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, Lu Tianxing snapped back and smiled, ”I can never get enough, not in a lifetime, because every day, you look even more beautiful to me, wifey. I’m completely captivated.”

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s praise, Bai Zhiqing’s heart felt sweet as if she’d tasted honey. After all, no woman dislikes hearing her man compliment her charm. Bai Zhiqing is a woman, and no exception. She may not care about others’ opinions of her, but she can’t ignore Lu Tianxing’s thoughts on her, since Lu Tianxing is her man.

But soon, the smile on Bai Zhiqing’s face faded as she looked at Lu Tianxing and said, ”Since when did you get such a sweet tongue? You wouldn’t happen to be saying this just to brush me off, would you!”

Lu Tianxing chuckled and said, ”Wifey, don’t you know how sweet my mouth is? Haven’t you tasted it? If you don’t believe me, I can let you taste it right now.”

With Lu Tianxing’s blunt words and his lecherous smile, Bai Zhiqing’s cheeks turned rosy.

Seeing Bai Zhiqing like that, Lu Tianxing chuckled again but said nothing more, preparing to turn and head to his assistant’s workstation.

”Lu Tianxing, what do you think about becoming the chairman of Bai’s Group?” Bai Zhiqing called out, a gleam in her eyes, as she watched Lu Tianxing’s back.

”Wifey, what did you say? Me, the chairman of Bai’s Group?”

Lu Tianxing heard Bai Zhiqing and instinctively turned his head, wanting to see if she was joking.

Seeing Lu Tianxing’s shocked expression, Bai Zhiqing took a deep breath and said, ”I mean it, Lu Tianxing, I’ve seriously thought it over. I want you to be the chairman of Bai’s Group. What do you think?”

Lu Tianxing, hearing this confirmation again, remained silent, just slowly walked up to Bai Zhiqing, reached out to touch her forehead, then touched his own.

”Lu Tianxing, what are you doing?”

Bai Zhiqing looked at him confusedly.

”Wifey, you don’t have a fever, so why talk nonsense...”

Before Lu Tianxing could continue, Bai Zhiqing interrupted, ”I’m not talking nonsense, this is something I’ve thought through in depth. Under my management, Bai’s Group can never flourish. It took all the current viable strategies for Bai’s Group to reach today’s achievements, and without years of smooth sailing, it could never achieve today’s results...”
