Chapter 160: Chapter 159 Complicated Bai Zhiqing (2nd Update!)

Time trickled by, and Lu Tianxing’s breathing was even and orderly in the room. Bai Zhiqing also felt her eyelids fighting each other as a strong wave of sleepiness surged up, but she dared not fall asleep easily. Who knew whether Lu Tianxing was really asleep or just pretending? If she were to fall deeply asleep, wouldn’t she be falling right into Lu Tianxing’s trap? Even her grandfather supported him, so if anything happened, she wouldn’t even have a place to cry.

Bai Zhiqing vigorously rubbed her temples, feeling utterly drained. Today, because of the company client data leakage, she had been busy to the point of dizziness and was mentally exhausted. She wished she could just close her eyes and sleep right then.

However, Bai Zhiqing dared not sleep. She was afraid that once she did, Lu Tianxing would reveal his ferocious fangs.

Another hour passed.

The intense drowsiness attacked her like waves, and finally, Bai Zhiqing gritted her teeth, mustered her courage, and stealthily got out of bed. She tiptoed to Lu Tianxing’s side, waved a hand above his eyelids, and finding that Lu Tianxing did not notice, she gently pushed him and called out twice. Seeing no reaction from him, she finally let out a long sigh of relief and tiptoed back to the bed to carefully lie down.

The whole process was quiet and cautious. Even the slightest noise terrified Bai Zhiqing so much that she dared not move until she was back in bed. It was then that she silently cursed herself for being too suspicious.

Unknown to Bai Zhiqing, as she returned to the bed, the ever-asleep Lu Tianxing suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of eagle-sharp eyes. In fact, he had noticed Bai Zhiqing approaching him earlier but had chosen not to open his eyes, understanding very well that if he did, he probably wouldn’t get any sleep that night.

It’s best not to provoke a woman in a fury.

Lying back down, Bai Zhiqing realized for the first time that sleeping, a skill humans are born with, was incredibly difficult to surrender to, as if it had lost its magic, making it impossible for her to fall asleep. She turned over, looking at Lu Tianxing who was close at hand, and her mind was flooded with thoughts.

This was the first time she had slept in the same room with a strange man, even if this man was legally her husband. Yet in her heart, she still couldn’t grasp the concept of marriage.

Marrying Lu Tianxing, in Bai Zhiqing’s view, was an act of sheer necessity.

Back then, her father had forced her to marry Zhang Tianfeng’s brother, Zhang Tianci. At this critical moment, Lu Tianxing had ended up with her body, so she mistakenly decided to use Lu Tianxing as a shield.

However, Bai Zhiqing had never anticipated that this man would risk his own safety to save her life.

Moreover, during her time in the hospital, he took great care of her. Although sometimes he spoke harshly, making her furiously want to beat him up, Bai Zhiqing gradually discovered that the period was the most flavorful time of her life since her mother’s death. It was then she felt like a living woman, not just a working machine.

Later, upon seeing her grandfather again, this man somehow cast a spell on him, convincing her grandfather that he was the right husband for her, and no matter how much she resisted, it was futile.

"Lu Tianxing, who exactly are you? Could it be that Weiwei was right? I have never really understood you. Is everything you show just a method to conceal yourself?"

Bai Zhiqing questioned herself deeply. Perhaps due to her prejudices, in her mind, Lu Tianxing was a man who took advantage of others, despicable and shameless, a rogue.

But would a thug remain unruffled in the face of an assassin?

"Perhaps, Weiwei is right. He might be better than I thought, I just hadn’t noticed."

Bai Zhiqing reflected on all the moments she had had with Lu Tianxing since their meeting. Her heart felt a tinge of bitterness. Although Lu Tianxing joked and played around with her on the surface, even flirting with her, perhaps that was all superficial. She had never truly penetrated the heart of this man who was destined to spend his life with her. She could even say she didn’t know this man at all.

A wave of sorrow washed over Bai Zhiqing. Is a woman who doesn’t even know her own husband truly a woman?

"Sigh, never mind. Let’s not think about it. Things will straighten themselves out when we get there. Time will prove everything. If he is truly as outstanding as Weiwei mentioned, spending a lifetime with him might not be so bad."

Bai Zhiqing shook her head vigorously, trying to rid herself of the cluttered thoughts. The crisis at the company had not been resolved, and she needed to be fully energized to face the tough battles ahead.

If someone dared to steal the client information from Bai’s Group and confront them openly, there must be further actions planned. As the helm of Bai’s Group, she could not afford to falter and needed to gather all her energy for the impending fierce battle.

...

After an unknown period, listening to the steady breathing of Bai Zhiqing, Lu Tianxing, who had been sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes, got up, pulled out a mobile from his pocket, walked over to the balcony, and made a phone call.

Soon, the call connected, and a calm voice came through.

"Boss, I’ve arrived in Modu. Do you want me to come over now?"

"Fu Tu, you don’t need to come to me. Just protect your sister-in-law discreetly. Also, investigate secretly how many mercenaries and assassins have taken on this job. I want to see how many people dare to make a move on my woman. Seems like they have forgotten the fear that Netherworld Mercenary Corps instilled in them. I wouldn’t mind making the Underworld flow with blood once again."

Lu Tianxing’s eyes narrowed slightly, a cold light flickered in them, and his voice sounded low, indifferent to human life, emitting a chilling aura, as if a devil had walked out of Hell, profoundly intimidating.

If at this moment Bai Zhiqing, or even Bai Weiwei, saw this side of Lu Tianxing, they probably wouldn’t believe that this man was the careless Lu Tianxing, but someone who looked exactly like him.

"Boss, don’t worry, I will investigate thoroughly. I want to see who dares lift a finger against my sister-in-law. They must be tired of living. I wouldn’t mind using their lives to appease the blade in my hand."

The voice of Fu Tu on the other end of the phone was also full of murderous intent.

"Fu Tu, I appreciate your help with this." Lu Tianxing felt a warmth in his heart as he spoke slowly.
