20 -19: Spoils of War
“Mrs.
Zhao, don’t worry, I’ll take care of these things from now on.
I definitely won’t let Zhiqing get hurt.”
Lu Tianxing softly consoled Mrs.
Zhao, saying, “Mrs.
Zhao, Zhiqing is in the living room right now, you go keep her company first!
I’ll be stepping out for a bit.”
Mrs.
Zhao’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Lu Tianxing, “Young Master-in-law, are you going out?
Aren’t you staying with Miss?”
“Mrs.
Zhao, you know very well Zhiqing’s attitude towards me, you’ve seen it yourself, my relationship with Zhiqing isn’t as good as one might imagine.
If I stay with her, I might only make her mood worse. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
It’s better out of sight, out of mind,” Lu Tianxing said with a bitter smile.
“But, Young Master-in-law…” Mrs.
Zhao opened her mouth as if to say something but was unsure how to start, after all, she wasn’t a fool and could certainly see the state of the relationship between Bai Zhiqing and Lu Tianxing.
“Alright, Mrs.
Zhao, rest assured, as long as I’m here, I will protect Zhiqing.” Lu Tianxing shook his head gently, smiling as he spoke.
“Young Master-in-law, I actually think Miss is a very nice person, kind-hearted and decent.
If it weren’t for the incident that year, Miss wouldn’t have changed like this.
Young Master-in-law, if Miss behaves somewhat willfully, I hope you can bear with her a bit more, I…”
Mrs.
Zhao let out a deep sigh and started to speak, “Young Master-in-law, the Miss, she…”
“Mrs.
Zhao.”
Mrs.
Zhao hadn’t finished speaking when a crisp voice came through.
Bai Zhiqing walked out of her room and her expression had returned to being as cold as frost as she indifferently said, “Are you going out tonight?”
“Yeah!
It’s my friend’s birthday tonight, they invited me over, and I might not return tonight.”
“Here.” Bai Zhiqing then tossed the car keys to Lu Tianxing.
Lu Tianxing was slightly startled and instinctively caught the keys thrown at him.
He noticed the ‘BMW’ letters and said, “Wife, why are you giving me the car?”
“It’s for you to get around.
Although Ziyuan District is a villa residential area, it’s still quite a distance from the commercial district.”
Bai Zhiqing explained in a level tone that, despite being as cold as frost, allowed one to sense the faint concern within.
“Wife, you’re too good to me, even giving me a BMW.
Aren’t you afraid I’ll drive off and sneak away?”
“Sneak away?
Then I’ll just accept that I misjudged you.
I don’t mind losing over a million—consider it thrown to a beggar.”
Bai Zhiqing’s chilly voice came from the room, “Also, don’t overthink it.
This is for Mrs.
Zhao to use for grocery shopping.
Mrs.
Zhao said she didn’t like driving this kind of car, so I left it for you.”
…
The evening’s commercial street was extraordinarily lively, a world of neon lights, with red, green, and blue hues glittering, beckoning the multitudes weary from the day’s toil to walk its paths where bars and KTVs offered myriad distractions.
Roar!
Suddenly, the growling sound of an engine came from a distance as a BMW X5 sped along rapidly, drawing the attention of many women until it drifted beautifully into a parking space in front of Zero Point Bar, a testament to the driver’s climax of skill.
After getting out of the car, Lu Tianxing ignored the coquettish looks from some women around, turned halfway, opened the front passenger door, took a beautifully wrapped cake from the top, and headed towards the interior of Zero Point Bar.
“Brother Lu.”
“Brother Lu, how come you have the time to come here today?”
“Good evening, Brother Lu.”
As soon as Lu Tianxing walked into the bar, several waitstaff immediately greeted him, showing their familiarity with him.
He smiled and responded to each one, then without pausing, headed familiarly toward the back of the bar.
Walking down the corridor, Lu Tianxing made his way to a room with ease, pushed the door open, and was immediately greeted by a faint scent of roses.
It was an amazingly large room, decorated with elegance and simplicity but not without its own indescribable flair.
In a corner of the room, there was even a small swimming pool.
As soon as he stepped through the door, Lu Tianxing’s expression changed, feeling a cold killing intent enveloping his heart as a gleam of cold light suddenly appeared, aimed at his chest.
Lu Tianxing smiled faintly, neither dodging nor avoiding, and watched as the swiftly advancing dagger approached.
He slowly lifted his finger and flicked.
Clang!
The dagger emitted a crisp sound as if it had struck steel, and broke into pieces.
Behind the dagger, a sulking beauty stood holding the broken half, looking frustrated.
“Not fun, boring.
You always use this trick; can’t you change it up?
After so many times, this trick again.
Look how many daggers I’ve gone through in such a short time.”
Rose pouted, tossing the handle of the dagger aside and complaining, “Tonight my grand master Lu doesn’t sleep but runs to this unloved woman—what are you here for?”
“If you’re unloved, then I guess other women should just jump in the river and kill themselves.
By the way, I asked Xiao Liu, he said today is your birthday, so I brought you a cake.”
Ignoring the hidden grievances in Rose’s words, Lu Tianxing walked into the room, placed the cake on the coffee table, and looked at Rose, “Happy Birthday.”
Rose looked at Lu Tianxing’s smiling face and then at the cake on the table.
Her body trembled slightly as tears uncontrollably slid down her cheeks.
For so many years, she had spent each birthday alone—no one had ever wished her a happy birthday.
She wasn’t a sentimental person, but in that moment, she couldn’t help but feel moved, because this man remembered her birthday.
“Why the tears?
You should be happy on your birthday.
Here, put this hat on.”
Lu Tianxing gently wiped the tears from Rose’s cheeks, took out a birthday party hat from his pocket, and placed it on her head, saying with a smile, “Sorry, I was in a rush today, so I only prepared this hat.”
“I’m already very content, thank you, little man.”
Rose shook her head gently, eyes fixed on Lu Tianxing, took a deep breath, and said, “Little man, I want to be your real woman.
I know you might look down on me, but I don’t want to have any regrets in my life.
Little man, I hope I can give myself completely to you.”
“Rose, you…”
Hearing Rose’s passionate confession, Lu Tianxing’s heart shook violently, and he instinctively wanted to say something, but Rose interrupted him before he could finish, saying, “Little man, I know what you want to say, but I also know what I’m doing.
I don’t want to leave an eternal regret in my life?”
Rose looked at Lu Tianxing and stepped toward him: “Little man, please accept your spoils of war!”
