As Lu Tianxing recounted the story, Bai Zhiqing felt a surge of sympathy for Rose, but even more so, she felt a sense of shared suffering. Who would have thought that two women, both considered the golden flowers of Modu in both the underworld and the upper society, would have such pasts.
"So, her enemy is..."
"The Shu Tang Family, a top family in Shu known for its prominence. To them, the Rose Society is no more than an ant, easily crushed beneath their foot," Lu Tianxing said heavily.
Bai Zhiqing frowned and said, "By helping her, aren’t you offending the Shu Tang Family."
"The last time I wiped out the Wang Family, their reinforcement was from the Tang Family. I’ve already crossed them once, I don’t mind doing it a second time."
Lu Tianxing let out a sigh, saying, "Helping her to strengthen her power is also a way of helping us. The stronger the Rose Society becomes, the more wary the mysterious force putting a bounty on you will be. They will eventually slip up, making it easier for me to find them. As long as you are in Modu, you won’t be in any danger. I can’t protect you every moment of every day, but I can use the forces I’ve trained to ensure you’re always in a safe environment."
Bai Zhiqing’s expression finally relaxed, and she leaned gently into Lu Tianxing’s embrace. It was as if she suddenly remembered something, she stared at Lu Tianxing and said, "Lu Tianxing, I have one last question. How do you know all this? Logically, your relationship with Huangfu Meigui is purely professional. She shouldn’t have told you these things. How did you come to know them?"
"Hehe, why do I know? Wife, haven’t you heard of something called a ’male best friend’?" Lu Tianxing chuckled.
"Male best friend? Hmph, I warn you, if you dare to roll in the sheets with Huangfu Meigui, don’t blame me for being merciless. I’ll castrate you within minutes, sending you to serve the Emperor in the palace."
Bai Zhiqing threatened fiercely, her fingers forming the shape of scissors and making a snipping motion above Lu Tianxing’s crotch repeatedly.
Lu Tianxing instantly felt a chill down below, a cold feeling shooting straight to his forehead. This girl was getting increasingly fierce and tough to handle.
Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing appeared at Xiangjiang International Airport.
A beauty, no matter where she goes, is always the center of attention. As soon as Bai Zhiqing appeared in the airport lobby, she immediately captured everyone’s gaze. Men and women, young and old, she was a showstopper for all.
Bai Zhiqing’s charm was already significant, and added to that, the moisturizing from last night made her exude an invisible allure from inside out. She had the coldness mixed with the unique charm of a married woman, making people unable to shift their gaze once they’d laid eyes on her. To quote a saying from the internet, Bai Zhiqing was a killer of men and women of all ages—coming one, falling one.
For his part, Lu Tianxing had the air of ’this is my wife,’ hugging Bai Zhiqing without a care for the jealous stares around him. His eyes were fixed on the exit, anticipating the arrival of Rose.
About ten minutes passed, and Rose appeared just as expected at the airport exit.
She was dressed in an embroidered cheongsam, with black strappy sandals on her feet. Her beautiful eyes shimmered with a captivating gleam, as if electrifying at all times. The cheongsam perfectly showcased her figure, making it hard for onlookers to look away. Her delicate face was flawless, as smooth as a peeled hard-boiled egg, absolutely blemish-free, like frosted jade.
Especially the mature and alluring aura she emitted, just a glance from her could make you feel out of your element, like she was a ripened, juicy peach you couldn’t help but want to take a bite of.
If Bai Zhiqing was the untouchable Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, then Rose was the rose that one couldn’t resist picking.
At that moment, almost all the men and women at the airport had their eyes fixed on Rose. The men showed looks of amazement, wanting to approach and strike up a conversation, but before they could get close, they were pushed aside by others, whereas the women looked on with jealousy at Rose and her curvaceous figure, plus her beautiful face—an absolutely dreamy figure for all women.
When Rose saw Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing standing in the hall, a brilliant smile appeared on her face, and she quickly walked towards Lu Tianxing.
"Old friend, here we meet again. Have you missed me these past days? You don’t know how much I’ve missed you. Don’t believe me? Feel my heart; it doesn’t tell lies."
Rose went right up to Lu Tianxing and without hesitation, hugged his arm, the considerable pressure from her chest making Lu Tianxing feel his breath catch instantly.
Seeing this scene, Bai Zhiqing’s face darkened. Huangfu Meigui, this Lin Demon, dare to so brazenly take advantage of her husband as if she didn’t exist?
The other men at the airport, witnessing the scene, instantly showed jealousy. Having one stunning beauty was enough, but now he seemed to have charmed another enchanting woman—it was simply outrageous, leaving no chance for the rest. Such a person deserved to be struck by lightning from heaven.
Feeling the murderous glares from the side, Lu Tianxing said with a face full of dismay, "Could you let go of me first, Rose? My wife is right here! It doesn’t look good."
"It doesn’t look good if she sees us? So, you mean it’s okay if your wife isn’t around, huh? How about this, tonight, after your wife falls asleep, why don’t you sneak into my room? I don’t mind a little thievery of scent and jade," Rose said with a smile, clinging tightly to Lu Tianxing’s arm, as if trying to melt into his body.
Bai Zhiqing could no longer restrain herself at this scene. This vixen was openly flirting with her husband right in front of her, as if she didn’t even count.
"Huangfu Meigui, what are you doing? Let go this instant," Bai Zhiqing said tersely, pinching Lu Tianxing’s waist hard with her fingers.
Lu Tianxing looked at Bai Zhiqing with an innocent face, as if he had done nothing at all!
Rose, hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, showed a charming smile and said in surprise, "Oh, Chairman Bai, you’re here too. How about lending me your husband for a few days? Of course, if you feel shortchanged, you can come along; I don’t mind."
Bai Zhiqing said tersely, her eyes fixed on Rose. This temptress actually wanted to compete with her for her husband—a delusion, as annoying as Lin Demon.
"Don’t worry, I won’t take him for nothing. I’ll pay you afterwards."
With that, Rose, using her seductive peach blossom eyes, locked onto Lu Tianxing and smiled, "Old friend, what do you say? Think it over. I won’t let you lose out."
