Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 151: Chapter 150 Earth Baby (Happy New Year to the Brothers)

Having clarified the sequence of events, Lu Tianxing organized his thoughts and began to speak slowly, explaining, ”Grandpa, you’ve misunderstood me. She and I are just ordinary friends. Previously, by chance, I just saved her once, and there’s nothing special between us. Zhiqing said that when you saw me holding her, it was merely a polite hug, with no other implication.”

”Really?”

Bai Qiao Mountain looked skeptically at Lu Tianxing and then at Bai Zhiqing, who was silent with her head down, unsure whom to believe. He definitely didn’t trust Bai Zhiqing’s words; she’d probably do anything to get a divorce from Lu Tianxing, and any excuse could be exaggerated tenfold. Lu Tianxing’s words couldn’t be completely trusted either. Nowadays, lying had become a topic husbands were particularly good at after getting married.

”Brother-in-law,” said Bai Weiwei, ”our teacher has taught us that lying is not a good child’s behavior. The police also taught us ’to be lenient if you confess, to be strict if you resist.’ Trying to bluff your way through is useless.”

Bai Weiwei’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Lu Tianxing.

Lu Tianxing completely ignored Bai Weiwei. This little sister-in-law always knew how to stir up trouble when bored. In the future, he needed to find the time to spank her vigorously, to properly educate her. When adults are talking, children should not interject.

”Zhiqing, tell me,” Bai Qiao Mountain’s gaze finally settled on Bai Zhiqing, waiting for her response, ”Is what Tianxing said true?”

”I...”

Bai Zhiqing opened her mouth, wanting to say that everything Lu Tianxing said was a lie, yet she didn’t know how to express it. Lu Tianxing was indeed not wrong; she had indeed just seen a woman hugging Lu Tianxing, and from a distance, she couldn’t even be sure whether theirs was merely a courteous hug. She didn’t even see clearly what the woman looked like. The only reason she brought up the matter was to use it as a leverage to get a divorce from Lu Tianxing.

It was undeniable that Lu Tianxing had risked his life to save her once, and she was touched by that, but being touched was entirely different from love. It didn’t mean she wanted to spend her life with Lu Tianxing. This wasn’t a martial arts novel where after the hero saves the beauty, the beauty would say that she had no way to repay him, other than to offer herself in return.

She wasn’t looking for a husband with great accomplishments; at the very least, not someone as useless as he was now, idling away his days.

At this point, Lu Tianxing spoke again, ”Grandpa, just think about it. With Zhiqing as a beautiful and wealthy wife, why would I ever cheat? Which woman could compare to Zhiqing’s beauty? If I looked for another woman, wouldn’t that be like abandoning the near in search for the far?”

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Bai Qiao Mountain’s expression seemed to relax a lot. Looking at Bai Zhiqing, he spoke irritably, ”In the future, if you’re not sure, don’t talk nonsense. All the crying and wailing makes others think you’ve suffered a great injustice. I know you don’t like Tianxing, but I’m going to make it clear to you today: as long as I’m alive, the two of you cannot get a divorce. Don’t look for any more excuses. Your grandmother and I both like the boy Tianxing very much.”

”So we won’t divorce, what’s the big deal?”

Bai Zhiqing glared fiercely at Lu Tianxing. She just couldn’t understand what was so outstanding about this scumbag that even her normally affectionate grandparents took his side, preferring to believe this outsider over their own granddaughter.

Her intuition told her that there definitely was something shady going on between Lu Tianxing and that woman, not the mere ’courtesy hug’ Lu Tianxing claimed.

It must be said that, sometimes, a woman’s intuition is indeed terrifyingly accurate.

If Lu Tianxing could read minds and knew what Bai Zhiqing was thinking, he might have been terrified, for her intuition was too frightening.

After saying this, Bai Zhiqing stood up and headed for the second floor. Her high heels clicked on the floor, the sound seemingly echoing the frustration in her heart.

”Grandma, I’ll go check on my sister.”

Bai Weiwei seemed to sense the odd atmosphere in the living room, left a word, and dashed upstairs following Bai Zhiqing.

”Weiwei is already so grown up, yet still acts without seriousness. It’ll be troublesome if she can’t get married later on.”

He Cailan shook her head, looking at Lu Tianxing and said, ”Tianxing, you’ve had it tough. Zhiqing can be a bit difficult; please bear with her more in the future.”

”Grandma, it’s fine. Women always have a bit of a princess temperament, especially a fine lady like Zhiqing.”

Lu Tianxing didn’t mind at all. Bai Zhiqing was the chairman of a major corporation, matchless in beauty, with countless admirers she was pampered like the moon surrounded by stars. It would be strange if she had no temper at all.

In comparison, Zhiqing’s moodiness was nothing. Nowadays, any moderately attractive woman who was just a bit beautiful could have a temper countless times worse than Zhiqing’s. And those most difficult ones were beyond his comprehension; he didn’t understand the source of their pride when even glancing at them would label him a rogue.

”Sigh, you’ve been put upon. Let the old man chat with you. I’ll go and see how Zhiqing is doing. That child is a bit stubborn, and it wouldn’t be good if she does something foolish. Let me go up and persuade her a bit.”

He Cailan sighed and headed upstairs.

The living room was now left with only Bai Qiao Mountain and Lu Tianxing, suddenly becoming much quieter.

”Old man, have a smoke.”

In the living room, Lu Tianxing took out a cigarette from his pocket for the old man and lit it, his face wearing a servile smile.

”Old man, seeing that things have been resolved smoothly, I’ll head to my room to sleep if there’s nothing else.”

Lu Tianxing was ready to withdraw. The gaze of the elder, Bai Qiao Mountain, always sent shivers down his spine, as if all his secrets were seen through.

”Go? Where are you going? Sit down right now; there are some things I need to discuss with you,” Bai Qiao Mountain glared at Lu Tianxing and said in an irritable tone.

”Today, your grandmother and I discussed it all day. Since you and Zhiqing have already registered your marriage, you are legally recognized as husband and wife. Plus, both of you aren’t young anymore. It’s about time to have a child. Don’t tell me you don’t have time to raise a child. I know what you two are thinking; it’s normal for young people to want to enjoy a few more years. That’s fine, your grandmother and I will take care of the child while you two keep busy with your careers.”

Upon hearing Bai Qiao Mountain’s words, Lu Tianxing was flabbergasted. They were talking about having kids already; wasn’t this a bit too fast? More importantly, although he would like to have a child, Bai Zhiqing wouldn’t even let him into her room. Was he supposed to do it alone on the floor, with the Earth? Have an earth baby with the Earth?
