Chapter 224: Chapter 223 Lin Qianru’s Thoughts

"Tianxing, I know you’re a very mysterious person, and I hope that one day, you’ll tell me about your affairs. No matter what happens in the future, I will not leave you; my heart will always belong to you alone, because you are the only man in my life, Lin Qianru, and I have no regrets," Lin Qianru said softly.

"Qian Ru, why are you so melancholic and sentimental today? That’s not like you. Are you hiding something from me?" Hearing Lin Qianru’s words, Lu Tianxing furrowed his brow and asked in a deep voice.

He was no fool. Lin Qianru’s words clearly carried another meaning, a sense of separation as stark as life and death.

"I..."

Lin Qianru opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she couldn’t bring herself to speak, as tears slowly trickled down her delicate cheeks.

Lu Tianxing said nothing, just quietly watched Lin Qianru, believing she would tell him.

"Tianxing, do you remember what I told you last time at Sister Hua’s restaurant?"

After a moment of silence, Lin Qianru finally spoke slowly, "You know I ran away to avoid a forced marriage. I have a fiance in Hang City who, just a few days ago, sent me a letter through someone. In the letter, he told me that on my twenty-seventh birthday, he would come with a marriage proposal to take me back to Hang City, and if I dared to run away again, he would make the Lin Family pay for my actions with their lives..."

Listening to Lin Qianru’s narration, Lu Tianxing’s expression did not change, but he held her arm a little tighter.

Lin Qianru seemed to sense something and hugged Lu Tianxing tightly, continuing to speak, "Tianxing, you know what? I don’t want to go back, I really don’t. But I’m scared—I’m afraid that if I don’t go back, the Lin Family might truly suffer. The Lin Family has treated me well; if hundreds of them die because of me, I would never be at peace in this life. So, I want to have one crazy adventure before I go back. I don’t dislike you, and you have saved me several times, so I chose you. I hope to have a passionate romance before I return, at least once in my life."

A sardonic smile flickered across Lin Qianru’s face, a smile laced with helplessness at life’s twists, her eyes filled with a faint desire for death. Perhaps, when she returned to Hang City, that would be the moment her life ended. She didn’t want her body to be touched by a strange man, nor did she want to marry a man she never liked.

Lu Tianxing looked down at Lin Qianru, at her exquisite but now desolate face, and felt a sharp pain in his heart.

"So you tricked me into falling for you, Lin Qianru let me tell you straight, you’ll never be able to shake me off in this lifetime. I, as a virtuous man, have been spoiled by you; you have to take responsibility for me to the very end."

Lu Tianxing, clearly annoyed, pinched Lin Qianru’s behind.

"Lu Tianxing, what you’re saying..."

Lin Qianru looked stunned, hearing an underlying meaning in Lu Tianxing’s words.

"My words don’t mean anything special."

Lu Tianxing interrupted Lin Qianru abruptly and slowly said, "I, Lu Tianxing, may not have many skills, but I am a man who can stand tall and upright. If a man can’t even protect his woman, what kind of man is he? Just a small family in Hang City, what’s there to be afraid of? Daring to compete with me, Lu Tianxing, for a woman, I could make them disappear from this world in a minute. Stay by my side obediently, be my little woman, serve me well, and I’ll see who dares to try to take anyone from me. Without my permission, not even the emperor himself could do it."

"Lin Qianru, I’ll make it clear today: you can’t eat your fill and deny the bill. I’m telling you, there’s no way out. From now on, I am your man, and you are my woman. Thinking of running? I’ll catch you and give you a hundred lashes."

Lu Tianxing’s words were powerful and indisputable.

"Lu Tianxing, I..."

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Lin Qianru trembled, lifted her head, and looked at him excitedly. Whether Lu Tianxing was telling the truth or not, Lin Qianru felt satisfied. At least this man had once stood in front of her, sheltering her from the storm...

For a woman, sometimes a lie can be much sweeter than the truth. Even if Lu Tianxing was lying, Lin Qianru felt it was enough.

"Why, you don’t believe what I’m saying?"

"I believe, I believe you."

Lin Qianru’s voice was full of tremors. She covered her mouth, trying hard not to cry out loud, but still, clear tears slid down from her eyes. She found that she might have truly fallen in love with the man before her.

"Alright, alright, don’t cry. You are Lin Qianru, my woman, and I am your man. Of course, I will take good care of you. If you cry again, you won’t be pretty, and if you’re not pretty, be careful that I might not want you," Lu Tianxing said teasingly as he wiped away the tears on Lin Qianru’s face.

"You dare!"

Lin Qianru propped herself up, glaring at Lu Tianxing, then suddenly her face revealed an extremely seductive smile. With a tear-stained face that bloomed with stunning charm, she said, "It’s still early. How about we try out other positions? I learned these from a movie. I’m giving you a bargain today, you dirty wolf, letting you take full advantage."

Having said that, Lin Qianru did not wait for Lu Tianxing to respond, and her entire body burrowed under the blanket.

Immediately, Lu Tianxing froze, and it took him a long while to catch his breath. After a long time, he exhaled deeply, realizing this woman was really playful. She had even learned to bite.

...

At dawn, as the sun rose from the horizon, its rays illuminated the entire land, waking the sleeping city and plunging it once again into noise and bustle.

Lu Tianxing slowly opened his eyes without a trace of exhaustion from last night’s frenzy. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Lin Qianru, lying on his chest like a lazy kitten in the sunlight. Under the sunlight, Lin Qianru’s delicate features emitted an intoxicating charm, making it difficult for one to look away, fearing they might miss even a glimpse of this exquisite scene.

"Never thought this woman could be crazier than a man when she got going. If it weren’t for my exceptional talents, I would have waved the white flag and surrendered last night."

Considering Lin Qianru’s frenzy the previous night, Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but sigh as he looked down at the sweet, baby-like smile on Lin Qianru’s lips and couldn’t resist kissing her softly on the cheek.
