Chapter 1560: Chapter 1553: Treating You to a Meal

”I hope you’re telling the truth.”

Xue Bing glanced at Lu Tianxing, not dwelling on the topic any further, and directly said, ”Lu Tianxing, do you have time tonight?”

”What do you want to do?”

Lu Tianxing’s heart skipped a beat, a strong sense of foreboding rising inside him, his intuition telling him that Xue Bing definitely had ulterior motives.

”I want to invite you to dinner tonight. Are you available?”

Xue Bing looked at Lu Tianxing, speaking slowly, and then as if worried Bai Zhiqing might misunderstand, she paused for a moment and continued, ”Lu Tianxing, don’t overthink it. I just want to thank you. If you hadn’t warned me last night, who knows, I might have been killed by the Yang family at some point. You saved my life, so of course, I should thank you properly. Inviting you to dinner is only fitting.”

”Uh...”

Listening to Xue Bing’s words, Lu Tianxing was slightly taken aback, then shook his head and said, ”Officer Xue, I’m afraid I’ll disappoint you. Isn’t there a new movie out recently? I plan to invite Zhiqing to watch it with me tonight, so I’m not available.”

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Bai Zhiqing was slightly surprised. Taking her to a movie? Why hadn’t Lu Tianxing mentioned this? Could it be he was planning to surprise her?

”If you’re not free tonight, then how about lunch?”

Xue Bing glanced at Lu Tianxing and said casually, ”Lu Tianxing, don’t tell me you’re busy at noon, too?”

”If I say I’m busy at noon too, would you believe me, Officer Xue?” Lu Tianxing cautiously asked.

”I’d believe that as much as seeing a ghost.”

Xue Bing glanced at Lu Tianxing and said casually, ”Then it’s settled. I’ll call you at noon, and I’ll treat you to lunch to thank you properly.”

With that, Xue Bing didn’t give Lu Tianxing a chance to reply, instead standing up from the sofa and saying to Bai Zhiqing, ”Sister Zhiqing, did you remember what I just said? Be careful these days. If anything happens, just call the number I gave you. Someone will help you. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be off. I’ve been back for a while and haven’t visited my sister yet. I’ll go see her first.”

”Xiao Bing, thank you. Let me see you off!” Bai Zhiqing said with a smile.

As she spoke, Bai Zhiqing stood up from the sofa.

”Sister Zhiqing, it’s no trouble; I know where my sister is. I can go by myself.”

”It’s fine.”

Bai Zhiqing smiled at Xue Bing and said, ”I also have some business matters to discuss with Xiao Man; I’ll go with you. Xiao Bing, you wouldn’t refuse me, would you?”

”Uh...”

Xue Bing hesitated at that moment. She didn’t know why, but when Bai Zhiqing’s gaze landed on her, she felt like a mouse in front of a cat, as if all her secrets were exposed to Bai Zhiqing’s eyes, making her feel guilty and uneasy.

After all, last night, she almost got into bed with Lu Tianxing and declared that Lu Tianxing was her man from now on. Now, standing in front of Lu Tianxing’s legitimate wife, how could this not make her feel nervous and afraid?

”Alright, Xiao Bing, why are you so anxious? I’m not a ferocious beast. What are you afraid of? Let’s go.”

With that, Bai Zhiqing took Xue Bing’s hand, not giving her a chance to speak more, and walked out with her.

Lu Tianxing watched Bai Zhiqing and Xue Bing walk out together, trying several times to call Bai Zhiqing back, but he couldn’t bring himself to say anything, only watching them leave.

When the door closed, Lu Tianxing snapped back to reality, a bitter smile appearing on his face. With Bai Zhiqing’s intelligence, she probably already caught on to some clues just now, but there was nothing he could do about it. Now all he could do was pray that Xue Bing wouldn’t give anything away in front of Bai Zhiqing, or else Bai Zhiqing would definitely get the truth out of Xue Bing, of which Lu Tianxing was a hundred percent sure.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Tianxing pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a heavy drag, and lay on the sofa, staring at the ceiling in a trance.

Meanwhile, after Bai Zhiqing and Xue Bing left the office, they made no stops and directly entered the dedicated executive elevator.

Bai Zhiqing turned to look at Xue Bing, who was somewhat reserved and standing in front of her, and smiled, ”Xiao Bing, what’s wrong? You seem a bit tense; this doesn’t look like the carefree you I know.”

”No... nothing, Sister Zhiqing, you’re overthinking it, what changes do I have compared to before.”

Facing Bai Zhiqing’s smiling face, Xue Bing took a deep breath, trying hard to stay calm, but her slightly trembling voice betrayed her unease.

Being alone with Bai Zhiqing suddenly made Xue Bing feel like a concubine from ancient times meeting the head wife for the first time; her heart couldn’t calm down.

Looking at Xue Bing, Bai Zhiqing smiled and said, ”Xiao Bing, I just realized that you and Lu Tianxing are like a pair of bickering lovers. You argue when you meet, but it doesn’t affect your relationship at all, which is quite enviable.”

Upon hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, Xue Bing immediately sneered, ”Sister Zhiqing, stop joking, who’s a pair of bickering lovers with him? He’s just a pervert, claiming to be my bickering lover. He’s not worthy. If I could beat him, I’d definitely show him how formidable I am.”

Bai Zhiqing heard Xue Bing badmouth Lu Tianxing and didn’t get angry. She smiled and said, ”So, Lu Tianxing offended you once. Do you want to tell me how he offended you? I’ll help vent your anger.”

Hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words and seeing the mysterious smile on Bai Zhiqing’s face, panic flashed across Xue Bing’s face. How could she respond to Bai Zhiqing? Could she tell Bai Zhiqing that when she first met Lu Tianxing, he stole her first kiss? Then later at the hospital, Lu Tianxing kissed her again under the guise of helping her adjust her cultivation technique, and last night Lu Tianxing almost slept with her. How could she say that?

At this moment, Xue Bing felt as if the fearless courage she’d have facing criminals had vanished completely, leaving her like a defenseless woman facing a group of tough men, powerless to fight back.

”Xiao Bing, why aren’t you talking? Could it be this guy ever harassed you?” Bai Zhiqing asked, noticing Xue Bing’s look, her expression slightly shifting.

”No, impossible, he’d dare.”

Upon hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, Xue Bing’s expression suddenly changed, her voice growing louder. She used three negatives and waved her fist viciously, ”Sister Zhiqing, how could it be possible? You’ve forgotten who I am. I was once the captain of Modu’s criminal police force. Anyone daring to harass me wouldn’t be afraid I’d break their third leg. If Lu Tianxing dared to do anything to me, I’d let him instantly regret it.”

”Then why do you call him a pervert!”

”This... this... ”

Xue Bing’s initially vicious appearance again turned into that of a wronged wife, stammering, ”Isn’t it because this guy looks so carefree and casual? Last night when I drove him for drinks, his eyes kept roaming outside the window, focusing entirely on women’s chests, thighs, and behinds. Sister Zhiqing, isn’t that being a pervert?”

If Lu Tianxing heard Xue Bing’s words at this moment, he would definitely be so angry that he’d vomit blood. Seriously? The blame’s far too readily deflected. Any guy would look, okay? But he really didn’t look last night.

”You’re right, that’s indeed a pervert.”

Bai Zhiqing looked at Xue Bing with a complex expression but didn’t ask further, instead nodding in agreement and switching the topic, ”By the way, Xiao Bing, why do you have time to come back to Modu, are you planning to leave Modu?”

Xue Bing was relieved that Bai Zhiqing didn’t dwell on the topic, ”Things in Jiangnan are essentially settled, so I returned to Modu to see my sister and mother. After a few days, I’ll be heading back to Beijing.”

”Is it because of the Yanhuang Group’s rules?” Bai Zhiqing asked curiously.

”Yes, that’s correct.”

Xue Bing nodded, ”That pervert Lu Tianxing was right, Yanhuang Group is divided into four divisions: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow, each with its own restrictions. Because of my unique cultivation technique, I directly joined the Sky Team. But being in the Sky Team has a cultivation limitation. Unless one’s strength breaks through to the Mythical Realm, one must stay within Yanhuang Group daily to cultivate. My current strength isn’t enough, so apart from essential tasks, I must stay within Yanhuang Group to train until I break through the Mythical Realm.”

”I see.”

”How’s Auntie’s health recently?”

”Pretty good, ever since Lu Tianxing cured my mother, her health has been good, Sister Zhiqing, thank you for your concern.”

Facing Bai Zhiqing’s Bai Zhiqing, Xue Bing hesitated little, immediately replying.

Bai Zhiqing listened to Xue Bing’s words and asked a few other questions, which Xue Bing responded to fluently, without any pause.

”Xiao Bing, you like Lu Tianxing, don’t you?” Bai Zhiqing suddenly asked, looking at Xue Bing.

”Yeah... ”

Xue Bing hadn’t expected Bai Zhiqing to suddenly ask this question, subconsciously replied, but as soon as the words fell, she suddenly came to her senses, her pretty face turning pale and looked at Bai Zhiqing in panic.
