Listening to the words drifting in the wind, Lu Tianxing touched his lips, recalling the tender kiss he just experienced, and let a gentle smile emerge at the corner of his mouth, "This little girl is much cuter than her mother."
Lu Tianxing didn’t linger, he directly left the Bay Villa District. It was not easy to hail a taxi, and he was planning to return to the Ziyuan District when he remembered that he had to go on a business trip to Xiangjiang the next day. So instead, he decided to meet Rose. As for Bai Zhiqing’s safety, with Fu Tu covertly protecting her, there weren’t many who could harm Bai Zhiqing. There was no need to worry about her safety.
Moreover, with the warning from the Netherworld Mercenary Corps and the attention from the Yanhuang Group, there was no pressing need to worry about Bai Zhiqing’s safety right now. The assassins and mercenaries currently wouldn’t dare to lay a finger on Bai Zhiqing. While the reward of five hundred million dollars was bountiful, life was just as precious. To kill Bai Zhiqing would mean to offend both the Netherworld Mercenary Corps and the Yanhuang Group, one dark and one light, a clearly unwise choice.
Lu Tianxing pulled out his phone and made a call to the old man Bai Qiao Mountain, telling him he had something to do that evening and wouldn’t be coming back, then directed the taxi driver to head straight for Zero Point Bar.
Arriving at Zero Point Bar, it was already early evening, and the nightlife had just started to kick off, so the business at the bar was beginning to pick up. The waiters and bartenders were busy attending to the guests.
Seeing Lu Tianxing walk in, everyone instinctively stopped what they were doing and paid their respects to him. By now, everyone understood that Lu Tianxing was Rose’s man, the tough character who dared to hit someone right in front of Huang Fuhu’s face. He wasn’t someone they could afford to offend.
Lu Tianxing waved casually to them and, without having someone inform Rose, headed directly to the back of the bar. He didn’t knock; he just pushed open the door and walked in.
The room’s decor was still familiar, and the air was filled with an enticing scent, making one involuntarily take a deep breath. The room was empty and didn’t contain the figure of Rose.
Suddenly, Lu Tianxing’s ears twitched, and his gaze shifted toward the bathroom next door, his eyes lighting up at once.
The light was on in the bathroom, and the sound of water could be heard cascading from within.
"Could it be that Rose is taking a shower? Hehe, seems like I’ve come at just the right time."
Lu Tianxing chuckled, feeling that he should also take a shower, to join Rose. Not only could they save water by showering together, they could even scrub each other’s backs, saving both time and effort, a good plan indeed.
In short, Lu Tianxing found countless reasons in his mind, all leading to joining Rose for a delightful bath. Moreover, after being teased by his little sister-in-law Bai Weiwei the night before, he had been holding back a fire that needed to be vented or he’d feel uncomfortable all over.
With a lecherous smile on his face, Lu Tianxing tiptoed to the bathroom door, gently tested the doorknob with his hand, and after finding that the door wasn’t locked, he quickly opened it, slipped into the bathroom with great stealth, and locked the door behind him.
Rose seemingly hadn’t noticed someone else had come in. She was joyfully showering behind a curtain, even humming a tune.
Lu Tianxing smirked, and without thinking, he pulled open the curtain, but when he pulled it back, he was dumbfounded.
Rose was standing there behind the shower curtain, arms crossed, looking at him with a smile that was not quite a smile, her eyes gleaming with the mischief of a successful prank.
"Crap, I’ve been had."
Lu Tianxing’s face darkened, looking at Rose who stood with her arms crossed, smiling at him, a row of black lines forming on his forehead. This little girl was getting less and less cute by the moment, fooling him was one thing, but she even deliberately turned on the water tap. Wasn’t that a waste of water resources?
"My dear Rose, so you were in here all along. I thought you weren’t here! That’s why I was planning on coming in to turn off the water for you. You know, we should be mindful of conserving water. You’re wasting water resources ; we need to think about future generations and save water."
Lu Tianxing looked at Rose unflinchingly, showing no embarrassment at being caught sneaking a peek, schooling her while calmly walking over to the tap and turning off the water inside.
Rose watched Lu Tianxing’s performance speechlessly, sensing that she might have underestimated the thickness of his skin.
"Really, honey? Then why did I see someone sneakily locking the door?" Rose asked with interest, smiling at Lu Tianxing.
"Locking the door? You’re kidding, do I look like that kind of person?"
Lu Tianxing adamantly denied any intention of sneaking a kiss, gently wrapping his arms around Rose’s slender waist and leeringly chuckled, "I’ve been busy all day, covered in sweat, and I’d feel uncomfortable not taking a bath. Since you’re here, my dear Rose, how about you help me scrub my back."
"Scrub your back? Are you sure that’s all you want?"
Rose’s beautiful eyes gleamed with a charming intent.
"Of course, I am a man of my word, a true gentleman. It’s absolutely just a back scrub, with no other add-on services."
Having said that, without waiting for Rose to speak again, Lu Tianxing scooped her up around the waist and both of them leapt into the large bathtub...
"Ah! Lu Tianxing, didn’t you say it was just a back scrub? What are you doing?"
"I am scrubbing your back, aren’t I? You helped me with mine, and now I need to return the favor. It’s a traditional virtue, a matter of give and take."
"Just scrub the back, then why are your hands there?"
"They’re not there, relax. I’m a professional bath scrubber..."
From the bathroom, Rose’s dissatisfied voice mixed with Lu Tianxing’s righteous words filled the air, and before long, the entire bathroom echoed with intoxicating sounds.
Ultimately, under Lu Tianxing’s forceful offense, Rose fell like a collapsing mountain, without any chance of a comeback, collapsing limply into the arms of her adversary, Lu Tianxing, as he carried her out from the battlefield.
Lu Tianxing carefully laid Rose on the bed and covered her with a blanket, gently kissing her lips.
"Honey, are you leaving now?"
Rose’s beautiful eyes flickered slightly, her tone revealing a hint of imperceptible disappointment.
"Tonight, didn’t you say you planned to bear my child and then use it to blackmail me? So of course, I have to work hard to live up to your expectations. Besides, I’m a bit hungry after exercising for so long. I will go out, find a restaurant, and cook something delicious for you with my own hands."
Lu Tianxing gently stroked Rose’s smooth hair, his face sporting a warm smile.
