Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

In the morning, when the first ray of sunlight crossed the horizon, Lu Tianxing was already awake.

Due to the drawn curtains in the bedroom, the whole room appeared somewhat dark.

Lu Tianxing slowly exhaled, turned his head, and saw Bai Zhiqing curled up on his arm like a docile kitten, nestled against him.

At this moment, Bai Zhiqing was sleeping soundly and sweetly.

And Bai Zhiqing had a faint smile at the corners of her mouth, clearly dreaming a pleasant dream.

Seeing Bai Zhiqing like this, Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but feel a wave of tenderness rise in his heart.

These past few days, Bai Zhiqing hadn’t had a full night’s sleep, tirelessly caring for him, exhausted both physically and mentally. Now that she finally had time to rest, Lu Tianxing couldn’t selfishly prevent Bai Zhiqing from sleeping for his own sake.

After glancing at Bai Zhiqing, Lu Tianxing slowly leaned against the bed, his gaze wandering to the ceiling, while his mind kept pondering a question.

He couldn’t stay on Qin Island forever; eventually, he had to leave. But how should he tell Jiang Liufeng when the time came?

He could see that Jiang Liufeng hoped he would stay on Qin Island, to keep him company, as he was Jiang Liufeng’s only family in this world.

This is human nature; as people age, they increasingly cherish family connection, longing for it, hoping their children and grandchildren can be by their side.

This is evident with Old Master Lu; though surrounded by children and grandchildren, he endured loneliness and isolation. Only after Lu Tianxing’s appearance did smiles return to Old Master Lu’s face.

Jiang Liufeng is much like Old Master Lu, but even lonelier. At least Old Master Lu had Lu Haoyue and others around him, whereas Jiang Liufeng had no one but Cangwu, his life devoid of anyone to speak with.

He wanted to stay, but Lu Tianxing was well aware he couldn’t remain on Qin Island forever.

While he could be carefree on Qin Island under Jiang Liufeng’s protection, could he stay there for a lifetime, and could Jiang Liufeng shield him indefinitely?

The answer was clearly no.

Moreover, he faced numerous dangers; constant hiding would only erode his fighting spirit. If it disappeared, it would be time for his demise. Certain things he must face, as only by doing so could he eliminate all barriers and ensure the safety of those around him.

Time passed minute by minute, and the room became increasingly bright. After an unknown duration, Bai Zhiqing’s eyelashes trembled slightly in Lu Tianxing’s embrace and then she opened her eyes, a lazy aura emanating from her.

Gently blinking her beautiful eyes, Bai Zhiqing smiled warmly when she saw Lu Tianxing beside her. Once, she disliked men the most, even detesting them deep down, but this man in front of her had changed her perspective time and again, rescuing her from the brink of life and death. For her sake, he had been injured several times yet never blamed her, always comforting her.

It’s these occurrences that gradually altered her view, making her feel perhaps having a man by her side might be a happy thing.

”Perhaps, this is love.”

This thought flashed through Bai Zhiqing’s mind.
