Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 90: Chapter 89: The Half Side Couple

Until Lu Tianxing sat back down in his chair, Bai Zhiqing still had that dumbfounded look on her face, seemingly at a loss.

Lu Tianxing watched Bai Zhiqing with amusement, ”What’s wrong, wife, did you get dumbstruck just from a kiss? Your resistance is really poor, a hot~kiss is all it takes to bring you home.”

”You... Why did you kiss me just now?”

Finally coming to her senses, Bai Zhiqing looked at Lu Tianxing with a blushing face and an indescribable look in her eyes.

Lu Tianxing chuckled and said, ”Of course, it was to get rid of the grain of rice on your face. The elders once taught me not to waste a single grain of food, and since there was no napkin around, I opted for a different method. However, wife, I must say, it’s time for you to wash your face.”

”Jerk, Lu Tianxing, what are you talking about? Your face is dirty.”

Hearing this, Bai Zhiqing jerked her head up, her eyes shooting daggers at Lu Tianxing. This jerk, not only did he take advantage of her, but he also had the nerve to say her face was dirty. This was simply unbearable; he was going way too far.

”My face isn’t dirty. I washed it just this morning. You’re the one who didn’t wash your face,” Lu Tianxing asserted seriously.

”You...”

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Bai Zhiqing was first stunned, and then abruptly sat up from the sickbed, swinging her fists towards Lu Tianxing’s head.

”Murder, help, someone’s trying to murder her own husband!”

Lu Tianxing ducked Bai Zhiqing’s fists while shouting loudly.

”Keep yelling nonsense, and see if I don’t tear up your mouth,” Bai Zhiqing threatened simultaneously embarrassed and irate.

”Someone’s murdering her husband!” Lu Tianxing cooperatively shouted again.

”You...”

With a sleazy look, Lu Tianxing said to Bai Zhiqing, ”Hehe, wife, don’t be angry. A dirty face can be washed. At the worst, I’ll make an effort to help you wash it for free. Of course, if your body gets dirty, you can also come to me. I’ll wash you for free, without any labor charges; after all, who am I but the living incarnation of Lei Feng...”

”Lu Tianxing.”

Bai Zhiqing gritted her teeth, her tone growing harsher.

Lu Tianxing shuddered and came to his senses, staring blankly at Bai Zhiqing.

Bai Zhiqing glared at him, her almond-shaped eyes nearly shooting flames. At that moment, Bai Zhiqing truly wanted to find something to plug Lu Tianxing’s mouth. This bastard’s mouth was too wicked; the poker face she had cultivated in the business world was just like paper mache in front of Lu Tianxing, entirely useless.

”Could this guy be a nemesis sent from the heavens to punish me?”

Bai Zhiqing felt utterly drained. Her aloofness and dominance over others were completely ineffective against Lu Tianxing, who seemed like a large tortoise shielded in his shell, impenetrable to knives and spears; vulgarly speaking, he was like a dead pig not fearing scalding water.

After what felt like an eternity, Bai Zhiqing finally managed to calm down, lifted her head to look at Lu Tianxing, and found him with a sly smile, seemingly pondering something mischievous.

Coughing twice, Bai Zhiqing put on a stern face and said coldly, ”Lu Tianxing, I want coffee now. Drive to Starbucks and get me a latte to have right away.”

”Me?”

Lu Tianxing was caught off guard.

”Yes, you. Don’t feel like it?”

”Why should it be me?”

”You are my assistant, if not you then who, me?” Bai Zhiqing pressed, trying to contain her rage.

”Not going.”

Lu Tianxing didn’t even think about it, he just rejected outright.

”You...”

”What about me?”

Lu Tianxing cut off Bai Zhiqing’s words, saying, ”Firstly, we are not at the company, you have no authority to order me around, and I have no obligation to listen to you, you can’t control me. Secondly, I’m your husband, if anyone is to buy coffee, it should be you buying it for me. Thirdly, you’re sick, the doctor said you need to rest, not drink coffee, so I won’t go.”

”But now that I’m sick, is this how you take care of your ill wife?”

The chill on Bai Zhiqing’s pretty face grew denser.

”I’m following the doctor’s orders. Drinking too much coffee is bad for your health, and, strictly speaking, you are not really my wife at the moment. We just have a marriage certificate but no marital relations, let’s say half-married. When you share a bed with me someday, then you can be considered my true wife.”

Lu Tianxing was entirely uninterested in buying into Bai Zhiqing’s act.

Bai Zhiqing finally lost her patience and picked up the water cup beside her, hurling it directly at Lu Tianxing.

”Fuck.”

Lu Tianxing was stunned. To think that an argument would lead to physical violence, where was the gentleman’s code?

”Whoosh!”

As the water cup reached the front of Lu Tianxing’s face, he let out a chuckle and with lightning speed, shot out a hand and caught the thrown cup.

Lu Tianxing laughed and said, ”Wife, have you forgotten? I’m not even afraid of assassins, let alone a little water cup from you. You’re such a weakling that even a hundred of you couldn’t hit me.”

Having said that, Lu Tianxing placed the teacup aside and, seizing the moment before Bai Zhiqing could recover her wits, he dashed out of the hospital room, realizing that she was like a volcano, ready to erupt at any moment.

Exiting the room, Lu Tianxing went to the smoking area set aside by the hospital, intending to light up a cigarette, when his phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

Taking out his mobile phone, Lu Tianxing glanced at the number and immediately answered, ”Tingting, what’s the matter calling me so late?”

There was no reply on the other end, deathly silence, only the faint sound of breathing.

”Tingting, what’s wrong, what happened?”

”I... I’m fine.”

Yue Tingting’s voice was very soft, with a hint of fear, ”Brother Lu, did you hear? This afternoon, Director Ma had a car accident. His car lost control and plunged off the river bridge. Director Ma is dead.”

”Dead?”

Lu Tianxing was slightly taken aback, it seemed that Rose’s actions were swift, he remarked, ”It’s his own doing. He did too many wrongs, and even heaven couldn’t stand it anymore. Tingting, you can rest easy now, just focus on being a teacher at school. If anything comes up, just call me, and when I’m free, I will come to visit you at school.”

”Okay, I will listen to you, Brother Lu.”

”Tingting, is there anything else?”

Although Lu Tianxing didn’t mind talking with Yue Tingting for a while, it was indeed quite late.

”No... there’s nothing else. You should rest early, Brother Lu.”

Yue Tingting hesitated before saying, ”Brother Lu, I believe you.”

After these words, Yue Tingting hung up the phone.

Lu Tianxing was slightly taken aback and then a bitter smile appeared on his face. It seemed Tingting was much smarter than he thought; even when she probably knew that Director Ma’s death might have something to do with him, she chose to believe in him. Such a girl was a bit foolish, but also endearing.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Tianxing leaned against the wall in the smoking area, silently staring out the window at the bright moon, lost in thought as the events that had happened since his return to China played through his mind.
