Chapter 788: Chapter 783 Xue Man Blocks the Way

During the following period, Lu Tianxing truly witnessed Bai Zhiqing transform into a workaholic. Under her direction, Bai’s Group functioned like a well-oiled machine that rapidly buzzed with activity, yet without any disorder, which Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but admire.

After having lunch with Bai Zhiqing in the company cafeteria, Lu Tianxing watched as she hurried off back to her office to work. He had been planning on taking a stroll somewhere but instead returned to the cafeteria and took a meal intending to bring it to Lin Qianru in the sales department. If his memory served him correctly, Lin Qianru should still be there sorting out documents and hadn’t eaten yet.

Carrying the takeaway box, Lu Tianxing walked towards the cafeteria’s adjacent elevator. Just as he left the cafeteria, he heard a crisp voice calling: "Assistant Lu."

Lu Tianxing instinctively lifted his head and saw Minister Xue, dressed in a security uniform and looking spirited, standing there: "Minister Xue, do you need me for something?"

"Assistant Lu, do you have some time? There’s something I’d like to ask you about," Xue Man said softly, a complex expression flickering in her eyes.

"Time? Yes."

Seeing Xue Man’s expression, Lu Tianxing nodded and said, "Minister Xue, just say what you need to; as long as I can help, I definitely won’t refuse."

Xue Man took a deep breath and said softly, "Assistant Lu, I want to ask you about the call you made to me yesterday at noon. What did you mean by it? Was it the killer who harmed my mother showing up?"

"Yes."

Lu Tianxing didn’t conceal anything from Xue Man and slowly said, "But don’t worry, Minister Xue, it’s all taken care of now. That guy has been dealt with by me, and from now on, your mother doesn’t have to worry about being threatened anymore."

"Lu Tianxing, thank you."

"Hehe, Minister Xue, why thank me? Haven’t we said before? We are friends, and friends don’t need to be polite with each other. It was just a small effort, of course... It would be even more perfect if you’d treat me to a meal, Minister Xue," Lu Tianxing said with a laugh.

Hearing this, Xue Man’s body trembled slightly, and she asked in a low voice, "Lu Tianxing, do you really consider me your friend? Don’t you think I’m capricious and utterly un-feminine?"

After saying this, Xue Man felt her heart shoot up to her throat. She didn’t know why, but she had blurted out the question impulsively.

Xue Man’s fingers were tightly clasped together, her breathing became rapid, and she looked at Lu Tianxing anxiously, fearing she might hear an answer she didn’t want to hear.

Sensing Xue Man’s nervousness, Lu Tianxing said with a smile, "Hehe, Minister Xue, are you kidding me? If you lack femininity, then what do other women have? As for being capricious, I think every girl has that trait — at least I’ve never seen you act unreasonably. That’s better than many people. So, I think you’re quite feminine, and definitely a top-notch girlfriend material — presentable in the hall, tough with the ruffian, and can outwit a mistress. Perfect."

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, a gleam suddenly flashed in Xue Man’s eyes.

"Really," Lu Tianxing nodded and said.

"I understand, Assistant Lu, thank you for always helping me, I will forever remember this," Xue Man responded.

Xue Man looked at Lu Tianxing as if she wanted to etch his silhouette into her heart, her lips curling into a smile before she turned and walked in another direction.

Lu Tianxing watched Xue Man’s transformation in surprise, then shook his head and turned to enter the nearby elevator.

No wonder people often say that you shouldn’t try to guess what’s on a woman’s mind; you could guess forever and still be clueless. Confused by Xue Man’s barrage of nonsensical questions before she left, Lu Tianxing decided not to dwell on it anymore.

Walking directly to the sales department, Lu Tianxing faced no obstacles. He pushed open the door to the manager’s office and walked in, locking the door behind him.

Hearing the sound of the door locking, Lin Qianru instinctively looked up. When she saw Lu Tianxing, a flash of intense joy crossed her face, and she hastily stood up and said, "Tianxing, what brings you here?"

"Of course I came. I wouldn’t want my sweet little wife to waste away from hunger. Work may be busy, but you still need to eat. I’ve brought your favorite dishes; try them."

Lu Tianxing’s lips curved into a warm smile as he shook the plastic bag in his hand, placing it on the desk before walking over to Lin Qianru. He lifted her into his arms, letting her sit on his lap.

Lin Qianru trembled slightly, said nothing, and just leaned into Lu Tianxing’s embrace, quietly enjoying the peaceful moment.

Looking at Lin Qianru’s somewhat haggard face, a pang of guilt surged in Lu Tianxing’s heart. After all, she had devoted herself wholeheartedly to him, but since returning from Xiangjiang, he had barely spent any time with her, and had even stirred up so much trouble, nearly putting her life at risk. How could he not feel guilty?

"Qian Ru, I’m sorry, I..."

Lu Tianxing had just started speaking when Lin Qianru interrupted him, "Tianxing, you don’t need to say it. I know what you’re trying to say. This isn’t your fault; I did it willingly and it has nothing to do with you. Besides, hasn’t this matter been resolved smoothly? I’m actually quite happy with the outcome."

Although Lin Qianru said this, Lu Tianxing could feel the sadness in her words. After all, no woman would willingly share a man with another.

Lu Tianxing took a deep breath, held Lin Qianru tightly in his arms, and said firmly, "Qian Ru, rest assured, I won’t leave you without status. Sooner or later, I’ll let the whole world know you are Lu Tianxing’s wife, not a mistress."

"Tianxing, thank you. I actually think this is fine; just being by your side is enough for me."

Lin Qianru’s body trembled gently at Lu Tianxing’s words, a warm current flowing through her heart. Even if what Lu Tianxing said was false, she was willing to accept it.

Lu Tianxing didn’t say anything, but he had already made up his mind to give Lin Qianru a magnificent wedding in the future, instead of leaving her to endure loneliness and misery alone.

"Tianxing, I’m hungry, I want you to feed me," Lin Qianru suddenly lifted her head and said coquettishly.

Seeing the expression on Lin Qianru’s face, Lu Tianxing nodded emphatically and said, "No problem."

Hearing this, Lin Qianru smiled, her smile growing even sweeter. She gently lifted her head and slightly opened her mouth, like a child pleading for a toy, waiting for Lu Tianxing’s next move.
