Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

48: Chapter 47 Danger Looms 48: Chapter 47 Danger Looms Lu Tianxing gently closed the door and walked to Bai Zhiqing’s side, quietly watching her.

In her deep sleep, Bai Zhiqing lost the dominance she had during the day, her little mouth occasionally twitching as though she were a little girl dreaming of some delicious delicacy.

The stunning coldness of her face had disappeared, revealing a fragile air; her shiny black hair reflected a soft sheen under the light, making her already ethereal beauty seem otherworldly, like a fairy from the heavens.

Seeing another side of Bai Zhiqing, Lu Tianxing gently shook his head, a pang of affection arose in his heart.

Perhaps this woman simply used her frosty exterior to cover up the vulnerability within, he thought; the burdens suppressed in her heart were probably much more than he had imagined.

Just as Lu Tianxing was about to go over and wake Bai Zhiqing, her eyelashes quivered slightly and she suddenly awoke, her voice tinged with resignation.

“Mrs.

Zhao, didn’t I tell you?

I’m not hungry; you don’t have to stay with me, go and rest.

If I get hungry, I’ll make noodles to eat.”

While speaking, Bai Zhiqing raised her head.

When she clearly saw who it was, she froze, her beautiful eyes showing a flicker of astonishment before turning cold.

She said sternly, “Lu Tianxing, who let you in?

Have you forgotten our agreement?”

“I haven’t forgotten, but you’re my wife.

If you don’t eat, I need to get involved.

I certainly don’t want to end up sleeping with a pile of bones one day.”

Lu Tianxing, not minding Bai Zhiqing’s attitude, casually placed the food on the desk.

“You…”

Bai Zhiqing’s face turned ashen as she looked at Lu Tianxing.

How could he say something so distasteful, what kind of talk was that about sleeping with a pile of bones?

Who did he think he was?

“Let it go this time; I can pretend I didn’t see it, but there will absolutely be no next time.

If it happens again, you’re moving out.”

“Moving out?”

Lu Tianxing laughed loudly.

“My dear Chairman Bai, can you please talk some sense?

Don’t forget, I’ve never said I wanted to live here; it was you who insisted I move in.

Next time, please speak more clearly, Chairman Bai.

Otherwise, considering you’re my wife, I couldn’t care less about you.”

Bai Zhiqing was startled, her instinct was to retort, but then she suddenly remembered something—it indeed was she who had forced him to move in.

But how could she back down now?

Bai Zhiqing said lightly, “If that’s the case, just leave the food here.

I’ll eat it when I have time.”

“Suit yourself, but remember this, you’re not alone.

It’s alright if you skip meals, but Mrs.

Zhao is getting on in years.

It’s not good for her health to stay up late with you.

Sometimes, you should consider others rather than just yourself.”

Lu Tianxing glanced at Bai Zhiqing and said no more; he had said enough.

Whether Bai Zhiqing understood was up to her.

Bai Zhiqing’s face grew livid with suppressed fury.

She didn’t need a scoundrel lecturing her.

Yet, as the words reached her lips, she found herself at a loss for how to voice her anger.

All she could manage was to stare with her beautiful, puffed-up eyes at Lu Tianxing as if she could scold him with her gaze alone, looking incredibly cute in her indignation.

Unfortunately, Lu Tianxing had already turned away.

Otherwise, he might have been utterly astonished by Bai Zhiqing’s cute demeanor; who knew that the ice queen could look so adorable?

“Dangerous.”

Just as he reached the doorway, Lu Tianxing’s footsteps faltered, his face suddenly changed, and his heart began to beat uncontrollably with such force that his nerves instantly tensed up.

He felt an eerie sensation rising from the bottom of his heart.

This was a strong intuition, a premonition of danger that allowed him to sense peril in the blink of an eye and thus avoid it.

This was the reason why Ancient Martial Artists weren’t afraid of firearms.

What they relied on was this acute sense of awareness.

However, this time the target was obviously not him; otherwise, he would have sensed the danger immediately.

Since it wasn’t him, that meant the assailant’s target could only be one person—Bai Zhiqing.

Lu Tianxing’s eyes flashed with a fierce light, and without any thought, his body lunged toward Bai Zhiqing at the desk.

As Bai Zhiqing looked on with an expression of horror, he rushed behind her, wrapped his arms around her, and shielded her beneath him.

Bai Zhiqing was furious, glaring at Lu Tianxing who was holding her, with eyes almost radiating murderous intent as she struggled with all her might.

Bang!

Before Bai Zhiqing could speak, a muted gunshot rang out.

The study’s glass window shattered loudly, and a bullet carrying the breath of death slammed into the True Qi Shield that Lu Tianxing had erected.

It caused a severe friction, and the next moment, Lu Tianxing’s face changed dramatically as his True Qi burst forth, shattering the bullet behind him into powder.

“A bullet specifically designed to break through True Qi and special abilities.”

Lu Tianxing’s face changed as he clutched Bai Zhiqing to his chest and dove toward the corner of the room.

At that instant, another bullet whistled in, striking the rosewood desk, blowing the solid wood to smithereens with splinters flying in all directions.

Hiding with Bai Zhiqing in a corner, Lu Tianxing completely failed to notice that his hand was placed exactly on Bai Zhiqing’s precious body.

Had it been any other time, he wouldn’t have minded savoring the feel, but at that moment, he had no intention of enjoying himself.

Looking at the rosewood desk that had been shattered to pieces, Lu Tianxing silently thought himself lucky.

It was fortunate that he hadn’t accepted Lin Qianru’s invitation to have supper at her place before returning; otherwise, Bai Zhiqing might have ended up a corpse by now.

At this time, Bai Zhiqing had also closed her mouth.

Her pretty face turned deathly pale as she felt a cold all over her body, and she began to tremble slightly.

While she had initially wanted to struggle, she now became quiet.

Even though Bai Zhiqing had never actually seen a real gun, the sight of the destroyed desk was enough to know that if the bullet had hit her, it would have undoubtedly taken her life, leaving her body beyond recognition.

Bai Zhiqing looked at Lu Tianxing who was holding her close, his face just inches away and stern, and she knew in her heart that if it wasn’t for this man, she would have been a goner today.

Now that firearms were involved, even someone as naive as Bai Zhiqing could understand the other party wanted her dead and didn’t wish for her to survive.

“Lu Tianxing, why…

why would you save me?

Do you realize you could die…?”

Bai Zhiqing’s face was ghastly pale, tinged with disbelief.

She couldn’t imagine that Lu Tianxing, the man she deeply resented, would risk his life to save hers.

Lu Tianxing grinned, showing his white teeth, “No reason at all, because you are my wife.

It’s only right for a man to protect his wife.

What kind of man would I be if I couldn’t even protect my own wife?”
