Hearing his son’s analysis, Huang Zhengde nodded thoughtfully and said, "Have your police found the last person?"
"No, he had already left Xiangjiang before we could investigate him, it seems he was scared out of his wits."
Huang Yuanzheng shook his head and said, "Father, what do we do next, should we warn the Peng Family, to stop them from causing trouble?"
Huang Zhengde shook his head and said, "No need, if the Peng Family truly feared this matter, then they would have already investigated and found out that it was you who had someone release Lu Tianxing. Since they already knew this and still chose to take action, it is obvious Peng Tianhu is not deterred by this."
"So, what should we do next?"
"Since Lu Tianxing dares to do this, he naturally wouldn’t be afraid of the Peng Family. Let’s just sit back and enjoy the show."
After a moment of silence, Huang Zhengde said, "If he is able to eliminate the Peng Family this time, from now on, the Huang Family will treat him as an honored guest. If he can’t eliminate the Peng Family, we protect him and ensure he leaves Xiangjiang safely as a way to repay him for curing Feiyu’s illness."
Meanwhile, after killing the people of the Peng Family, Lu Tianxing, taking Bai Zhiqing with him, wandered around Temple Street a few more times. Noticing that Bai Zhiqing wasn’t as exited as before, Lu Tianxing found an excuse and hailed a taxi with Bai Zhiqing, returning to the Peninsula Hotel.
Now, Lu Tianxing had to admit Cheng Bao really knew how to handle things, having booked just one room for them; wasn’t this clearly giving him an opportunity?
The long night dragged on, sleep eluded him, and with a man and a woman alone together, it would be difficult for something not to happen.
Lu Tianxing mentally gave Cheng Bao a thumbs-up for handling this well.
Back in the room, Lu Tianxing plopped down on the sofa, winked provocatively at Bai Zhiqing, and said with a chuckle, "Wifey, we’ve been walking around all night and we’re covered in sweat. I’m going to take a shower first, hehe."
Bai Zhiqing felt uncomfortable the moment Lu Tianxing’s gaze rested on her, and his familiar sleazy chuckle reached her ears. It was as if she, a small sheep, was being targeted by Lu Tianxing, a big bad wolf.
"Just go take your shower, and stop that smiling. I’m telling you, if you dare to try anything funny tonight, I’ll castrate you," Bai Zhiqing retorted with a blush, her voice slightly lacking confidence.
"Hehe, wifey, castrate? Would you bear to do that? That’s your future happiness right there," Lu Tianxing said with a sly smile, deciding against taking a shower. Instead, he dragged a chair over and sat opposite Bai Zhiqing, chuckling, "Tch tch, worthy of being my wife, you’re so beautiful, absolutely stunning. If you were in ancient times, among the four great beauties, there probably wouldn’t be a spot for the plump Yang Yuhuan. Wifey, I have a question for you, do you want to become even more beautiful?"
Bai Zhiqing felt secretly thrilled by Lu Tianxing’s compliments, but his further words left her slightly stunned, "Lu Tianxing, what do you mean by that?"
"Of course, to make my wife even more beautiful," he said.
Lu Tianxing smiled lewdly as his gaze twirled around Bai Zhiqing. He said, "As the saying goes, a man is a woman’s best tonic. If you could be nourished by me, from now on, when you walk down the street, the turn-back rate wouldn’t just be one hundred percent, but two hundred percent. From eighty-year-old geezers to three-year-old toddlers in split pants, you’d absolutely knock them dead. What do you say, wife? Don’t you want to consider it? This method is all-natural and pollution-free, you know."
After he finished, the smile on Lu Tianxing’s face intensified. Without guessing, one would know what was going through his mind right now.
"Lu Tianxing, can’t you be serious for once?" A flush of embarrassment crossed Bai Zhiqing’s pretty face.
"Wife, I am being serious. I am working hard for the future of our country. Can’t you give me a clear answer, when can we start this grand and sacred plan?"
Hearing these words, Bai Zhiqing’s complexion grew even more rosy. Looking into Lu Tianxing’s resolute eyes, she knew that if he didn’t ask her thoroughly today, he definitely wouldn’t let it go.
"Wait a while! If you behave well, I’ll agree to it," Bai Zhiqing said, her neck flushing a deep red as she finished, taking a deep breath.
"Wife, how long is ’a while’? Can you at least give me an exact time so I can mentally prepare?"
"Half a month. If you behave well within half a month, I’ll agree to it."
An excited smile appeared on Lu Tianxing’s face. "Wife, you said it, so in half a month, don’t blame me for being impolite. But before that, I think I should collect some interest first, to get you used to it."
Before Bai Zhiqing could react, Lu Tianxing turned his head and kissed her lips, then dashed into the bathroom before she could come back to her senses.
Bai Zhiqing was stunned, but upon seeing Lu Tianxing rush into the bathroom, she couldn’t help but giggle.
At this moment, Lu Tianxing had already dashed into the bathroom, turned on the showerhead, and let the cold water cascade over him, his face beaming with a brilliant smile. Half a month, a mere flash in time, and afterward, he would be able to show Bai Zhiqing just how formidable he was.
The thought of what would happen after half a month filled Lu Tianxing with an even greater sense of pride. He had finally secured the girl, and a happy life was on the horizon.
By now, Bai Zhiqing had also come back to her senses. Thinking back on what she had just said, a sweet smile curled on her lips. In fact, ever since she had met Lu Tianxing and Huang Yuanzheng, she had already made up her mind to give herself wholly to Lu Tianxing, to be his true woman, rather than a wife bound by a marriage contract.
A sweet smile was on Bai Zhiqing’s face as she took out several white contract papers from her handbag, densely filled with various clauses. This was the contract she had initially signed with Lu Tianxing, which stated that if one day she no longer liked him, she could kick him out at any time, reminding her that she and Lu Tianxing were nothing but a contracted couple.
But now, it seemed that this contract was no longer needed.
Bai Zhiqing took a deep look at the contract, thought for a moment, and then put it back in her handbag. This was the contract she had signed with Lu Tianxing, and she planned to tear it to pieces in front of him the moment she gave herself completely to him.
