Chapter 361: 359

"It’s just a million, I’ll give it to you," Lu Tianxing looked at Yue Tingting and said solemnly.

"Brother Lu, what are you saying?"

Yue Tingting suddenly lifted her head, looking at Lu Tianxing in disbelief. She couldn’t fathom why Lu Tianxing would offer her so much money without even asking, and where he got all that money from.

"Brother Lu, I... I don’t want it."

Yue Tingting took a deep breath and said, "Brother Lu, I don’t want to trouble you, I don’t want to be your burden. I’ll figure out a way to get this one million."

Yue Tingting knew very well what Lu Tianxing’s situation was. If he really had money, he wouldn’t choose to live in such a run-down neighborhood. How could he possibly have a million to spare? Even if he did, it was probably borrowed money. And loans had to be repaid. But Lu Tianxing, like her, was a worker. What would he use to pay back the money?

"Alright, don’t worry."

Lu Tianxing gently caressed Yue Tingting’s cheek, easing the palm print from her face, and smiled as he said, "Though Brother Lu is poor, I can still manage to come up with a mere million. Besides, even if I didn’t have the money, your sister-in-law does, and a million is just pocket change to her."

"Sister-in-law?"

Yue Tingting’s gaze faltered slightly as she subconsciously looked towards Rose, and then glanced at Bai Zhiqing who was approaching, feeling an overwhelming sense of inferiority.

"Brother Lu, there’s no need to bother sister-in-law. I’ve already applied for help from a charity foundation. I believe I will receive news before long, so you don’t need to go through this trouble."

Yue Tingting gently shook her head, looking at Lu Tianxing who was close at hand, and suddenly realized that the distance between her and Lu Tianxing had become vast, like two parallel lines destined never to intersect again.

Both Bai Zhiqing and Rose were daughters of heaven, while she was just a humble schoolteacher, an ugly duckling. No matter how hard she strived, she couldn’t catch up with these two renowned women of Modu.

Lu Tianxing was no longer that Brother Lu who lived in the dilapidated neighborhood, humming tunes, and making her laugh when she was feeling down. He had become a dragon soaring into the sky, one that would never land again to play with her, the ugly duckling.

In the past, they were equals, and she could act wilfully in front of Lu Tianxing. But upon seeing Bai Zhiqing and Rose, she realized that without her noticing, the gap between her and Lu Tianxing had grown wider and wider. Perhaps Lu Tianxing no longer needed her, the ugly duckling, as he now had countless swans enchanting his side.

"No, you must accept it."

Lu Tianxing was resolute, his stance unchanged, as he turned to Bai Zhiqing and said, "Wife, can you lend me a million?"

Wife!

Even though she was prepared, Yue Tingting’s body still trembled uncontrollably at the word, her fingers clenching tightly together. She held back her tears, refusing to let them fall from her eyes.

"Brother Lu, it’s really not necessary. Don’t trouble sister-in-law anymore. It’s getting late. If there’s nothing else, I should head home. Brother Lu, goodbye."

Yue Tingting fought back the tears, refusing to let them roll down her cheeks. She didn’t want to show Bai Zhiqing her vulnerability, nor did she want Lu Tianxing to see her inferiority. She just wanted Lu Tianxing to remember the happy, sweet, and adorable Yue Tingting she once was in front of him.

"Tingting, wait a second."

Seeing Yue Tingting dash out in a hurry, Lu Tianxing’s expression changed drastically. He subconsciously wanted to chase after her but stopped abruptly, turning his gaze towards Bai Zhiqing.

Bai Zhiqing managed to squeeze out a faint smile. "What are you staring at? Go after her! It’s not good if a girl runs out crying and something happens."

"Wife, I..."

Lu Tianxing opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but Bai Zhiqing interrupted him, "Hurry up and chase after her! Here are the car keys, take her home. A girl alone can easily get into trouble. Don’t drive too fast, be safe."

Lu Tianxing looked at Bai Zhiqing, wanting to say something, but realized that whatever he would say now would seem so pale.

"I’ll come back early."

In the end, Lu Tianxing nodded heavily, and in front of everyone, he kissed Bai Zhiqing before finally leaving with a troubled heart.

Watching Lu Tianxing leave, Bai Zhiqing’s eyes instantly reddened, a sense of inexplicable irritability rising in her heart. It was as if Lu Tianxing would never return, and a heavy stone pressed on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.

"Is it worth it for you to do this?"

Rose didn’t know when she had appeared in front of Bai Zhiqing, looking in the direction where Lu Tianxing had left and let out a deep sigh, uncertain if it was for herself falling for a fickle man or for Bai Zhiqing.

"I don’t know, I only know that I may have already fallen for him, and I don’t want things to be difficult for him."

Bai Zhiqing murmured softly, her eyes suddenly flashing with a strong light, "Someone once told me that men are like springs; the tighter you pull, the more fiercely they bounce back. I believe I will not lose. I, Bai Zhiqing, am second to none. I will not lose."

There was determination in Bai Zhiqing’s voice. She would not lose in the business world, and she believed that she would not lose in love either.

Rose looked at Bai Zhiqing with a surprised gaze and shook her head without speaking. Women in love are always blind, not turning back until they hit the south wall, and only when they are battered and bleeding do they regret. Unfortunately, by that time, they are already badly injured.

Regarding the relationship between Lu Tianxing and Yue Tingting, Bai Zhiqing did not want to know anything. As far as she was concerned, as long as Lu Tianxing would remember her, that was enough. Just like she used to say, a strong Monkey King often dominates a group of female monkeys; Lu Tianxing’s strength was destined to make him no ordinary man.

Catching up to Yue Tingting, Lu Tianxing, despite her objections, directly pulled her into the car.

The Bentley sedan drove on Baomai Road; the entire car was silent. Yue Tingting stared out of the window at the neon lights, lost in thought. There was a time when in her dreams, she walked into the hall of marriage with Lu Tianxing by her side, and then they had their own love crystal, growing old together.

Unfortunately, today’s scene had shattered all her dreams. It turned out that Lu Tianxing’s wife was actually Bai Zhiqing, someone she once idolized, a summit she aspired to reach her entire life.

"Brother Lu, is she... is she really your wife?"

Yue Tingting suddenly turned her head and looked at Lu Tianxing, her beautiful face full of sorrow.

Seeing the tears on the girl’s face, Lu Tianxing let out a deep sigh, his mind in chaos, filled with visions of Yue Tingting’s past smiles and expressions.

Since coming back to the country, he had met Yue Tingting, the shy girl who timidly followed him around, calling him Brother Lu, Brother Lu. From the little girl back then to the now mature, beautiful teacher, although it had been only a year, Lu Tianxing found that time was the least burdensome for him.

Every holiday, the girl would sneak out from her home, bringing him dishes stolen from home for him to eat, then sit beside him holding her cheeks, a broad smile on her face as she watched him wolf down the food, or secretly clean his house to give him a surprise...

Scenes from the past flashed through his mind, one by one, as if he felt time had never passed...
