Having realized Bai Zhiqing’s calculations, Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but shiver from the cold; indeed, a beautiful woman wasn’t so easily deceived. Bai Zhiqing had played her hand too beautifully, not only drawing Lin Qianru in as her ally but also strictly limiting his chances to steal~kisses~and~hugs. Her schemes were watertight.
Lu Tianxing finally understood why men are reluctant to marry a beautiful woman. If he brought one home, he’d likely be living in constant fear, worried that the slightest slip would reveal his tracks and he’d be outwitted.
"Wife, honestly, I can promise not to cheat; I can hold out. But, I have one question: what if you cheat? Should I reject you! Or should I agree hesitantly?" Lu Tianxing asked cautiously.
"Cheat on you, my ass." When Bai Zhiqing heard this, her pretty face reddened and she couldn’t help but retort.
"Then I can rest easy. Wife, if you ever cheat, just let me know. I promise to clean up and wait for you. But now, well..."
A sleazy smile appeared on Lu Tianxing’s face, and his gaze practically scanned Bai Zhiqing’s body, fingers constantly twiddling as if he were appreciating a treasure and considering where to start.
Felt by Lu Tianxing’s scrutinizing gaze, Bai Zhiqing suddenly felt as if she had no secrets left to hide, and with a wary face, she said, "Lu Tianxing, what are you looking at me like that for? Don’t forget we agreed upon three Chapters of rules; without my consent, you are not allowed to touch me. Do you want to go back on your word?"
"How could I do something so humiliating. Besides, I haven’t broken our agreement. The three Chapters of rules you mentioned only take effect after Qian Ru moves in. In other words, since Qian Ru hasn’t moved in yet, these rules naturally aren’t effective, so I’m not breaking any rules. Moreover, I’m acting according to what grandpa and grandma said. They moved out just because they were worried about disturbing us. We shouldn’t let them down; we need to work on having children as soon as possible."
With a hehe, Lu Tianxing chuckled and, before Bai Zhiqing could speak again, thoughtfully closed the curtains automatically, swooshing together in an instant. His own figure flashed and he appeared right beside Bai Zhiqing, wrapping his arms around her: "Wife, it’s a beautiful night, spring is short, don’t you think we should do something meaningful, hehe..."
"Lu Tianxing, how dare you—mmph..."
There was no more conversation through the night. As the first rays of sunlight pierced the east and west horizons in the early morning, Lu Tianxing had already opened his eyes, though the bedroom was still quite dark due to the curtains being drawn.
Of course, such darkness would only affect ordinary people. For Lu Tianxing, who had already broken through to the Mythical Realm, even this slight darkness couldn’t impact his vision at all; if he so wished, he could see the night as bright as day.
Turning his head slightly, Lu Tianxing saw Bai Zhiqing sleeping on his arm, her long, straight, beautiful~legs casually resting on top of him, curled up in his embrace like a well-behaved kitten.
Looking at Bai Zhiqing’s appearance at the moment, Lu Tianxing’s lips curved into a radiant smile. He felt better than ever before; last night could be described as pleasantly spent. Despite the initial setbacks, the process was very satisfying indeed. He wasn’t sure if it was Lin Qianru’s influence or something else, but Bai Zhiqing seemed to let loose last night, a bit crazy, almost too much for Lu Tianxing to handle.
At the moment, Bai Zhiqing was lazily curled up in Lu Tianxing’s arms, a faint smile on her lips, clearly deep in a sweet dream.
Listening to Bai Zhiqing’s even breathing, Lu Tianxing didn’t make any movements, quietly maintaining his posture, careful not to awaken Bai Zhiqing. His gaze fixed on the ceiling in a daze, silently pondering the path ahead.
As time slowly passed, Lu Tianxing suddenly felt the beauty in his arms tremble slightly. Instinctively, he looked down and saw Bai Zhiqing’s eyelashes flutter before her eyes slowly opened.
When Bai Zhiqing saw Lu Tianxing by her side, a warm smile appeared on her face. Such scenes had only occurred in her dreams before, where the first thing she would see upon opening her eyes was her husband. Now, it had finally become reality.
Seeing Bai Zhiqing looking at him, Lu Tianxing gathered his thoughts and asked with a smile, "Awake?"
Bai Zhiqing nodded slightly without trying to break free from Lu Tianxing’s embrace. Instead, like a little kitten, she wriggled her body slightly as if to find a comfortable position and quietly rested her head on Lu Tianxing’s chest, feeling his steady and strong heartbeat, breathing in the masculine scent that was distinctively his.
Lu Tianxing’s fingers traced Bai Zhiqing’s back, savoring the smooth touch that was as silky as satin.
Suddenly, Bai Zhiqing seemed to remember something and lifted her head to ask, "Lu Tianxing, what time is it now?"
Lu Tianxing casually glanced at the clock on the wall, "Not too long, it’s not even nine o’clock yet. Why?"
"It’s almost nine o’clock? Didn’t you book the flight to Beijing?"
"No, I didn’t. Aren’t the company people supposed to book the tickets?" said Lu Tianxing, slightly taken aback.
Hearing Lu Tianxing’s response, Bai Zhiqing abruptly sat up on the bed: "Lu Tianxing, hurry and get up, we need to have breakfast quickly, and then we’ll head to the airport together."
"Wife, do we need to be in such a rush? It’s just a trip to Beijing. Modu isn’t that far from Beijing anyway; if worse comes to worst, we could just drive there," said Lu Tianxing, looking at Bai Zhiqing with a helpless expression.
"What do you know? We have to seize the initiative. Business is like a battlefield; gaining even a bit of an advantage could mean victory. Forget it, I don’t want to deal with you right now, just hurry up and get out of bed."
As she spoke, Bai Zhiqing was about to get out of bed when, at that moment, her phone on the bedside table began to ring with a melodious tone.
Bai Zhiqing paused, picked up her phone, and answered the call.
As soon as she answered the phone, she heard the sarcastic voice of Lin Yafei on the other end, "Mrs. Lu, your little maidservant greets you. The sun is high in the sky now; have you gotten up yet? If not, how about your little maidservant gives you another call later."
"What Mrs. Lu? Lin Demon, would you stop talking nonsense," said Bai Zhiqing, annoyed.
