Chapter 405: 403

"What on earth has this man experienced before? He’s all smiles and jokes one moment, and in the blink of an eye, he becomes cold-blooded and ruthless."

As they watched Lu Tianxing enjoying his meal, the same thought involuntarily flashed through the minds of Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru. Their beautiful eyes gazed at him intricately; he was always frivolous and playful like a lecher when with them, but in front of Wang Yanzhi, he became a completely different person. They had never seen such a terrifying Lu Tianxing before—an emotionless man whose eyes looked upon life as if it were grass and could end it as easily as pinching.

This man was indeed too mysterious, shrouded in fog, and try as you might, you couldn’t see the slightest bit, nor could you see clearly.

Although Lu Tianxing’s murderous aura wasn’t directed at them at the time, Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru could distinctly feel that he seemed to transform into a different person, like a slaughterer who regarded human life as nothing, who would stamp out a life as trivially as an ant.

The Lu Tianxing they saw then was not the one they were familiar with. He had become a stranger, exuding a coldness that could almost freeze someone alive, his entire being akin to a demon who had walked out of Hell, sending chills down their spines.

Xue Man sat quietly at the dining table, her head lowered, lost in thought, and occasionally stealing glances at Lu Tianxing with the corner of her eye. Then, like a frightened rabbit, she quickly averted her gaze, her heart pounding wildly, unable to calm her thoughts.

It was the second time Lu Tianxing had helped her. The first time, he had saved her mother, pulling her out of a dark world, and this time, to help her, he didn’t hesitate to act ruthlessly, teaching those who wanted to take advantage of her a lesson.

Especially when Lu Tianxing stood in front of her, Xue Man felt her frozen heart slowly melting, and she wished she could throw herself into his arms. Unfortunately, the only rational thought told her that Lu Tianxing was the man of her best friend Lin Qianru, and that she and Lu Tianxing could never be in this lifetime,

"Xue Man, stop your foolish daydreaming. He is your best friend’s boyfriend; you and he are impossible. You must always remember that he is a lecher, who harassed you on his first day at the company, and he took advantage of you. You should hate him, that’s right... just like that...."

Xue Man argued with herself incessantly in her heart, firmly suppressing the slight flutter she felt for Lu Tianxing, but her eyes couldn’t help drifting towards him.

No matter how strong or domineering a woman may be, there’s always a soft spot in her heart, and when you can touch that soft spot, that’s when you can unlock the door to a woman’s heart.

Even Xue Man herself didn’t realize that ever since Lu Tianxing had forcibly kissed her on the trip to Xiangjiang, he had left an indelible mark deep in her heart. Added to that, he had saved her mother’s life, pulling her out of darkness; Lu Tianxing’s shadow had taken root in her heart, slowly growing a sprout, just waiting for the day to grow into a towering tree.

Even if Xue Man tried her best to suppress this stirring emotion, can love really be suppressed? Love is like a spring; the more you press it down, the more fiercely it rebounds, and when it finally bursts forth, it’s like a ferocious flood that overpowers everything, and you simply can’t resist it.

In contrast to the others’ complex emotions, Lin Yafei was the most relaxed among them all, elegantly holding her chopsticks and enjoying the delicacies, her lips curved in a charming smile.

Lin Yafei wasn’t worried about Lu Tianxing at all. She believed in his strength. Since Lu Tianxing dared to have Wang Yanzhi break Wang Kai’s limbs in public, it meant that he was absolutely confident in facing the crises that would follow. Even in Lin Yafei’s heart, there was a sneaking suspicion that Lu Tianxing had never really taken the Wang Family seriously and that he could make them disappear from this world whenever he wished.

After taking a bite of the food then setting down her chopsticks, Lin Yafei swept her gaze over the three women in the private room with an intriguing cunning smile at the corner of her eye.

Feeling a shudder through his body at the sight of Lin Yafei’s smile, Li Xiaofeng’s hair instantly stood on end, and he trembled vigorously, quickly lowering his head. He knew Lin Yafei well; whenever she revealed such a smile, it meant someone was about to be unfortunate.

"May the Buddha bless me, I hope it’s not me."

Li Xiaofeng shrank his neck and prayed incessantly in his heart.

With a hint of seductive charm on her face, Lin Yafei’s eyes suddenly sparkled with excitement as she gazed at Lu Tianxing.

"Tianxing, your performance just now was so impressive, it shocked me. You’re a real man, you’ve got my little heart thumping non-stop to this very moment; if you don’t believe me, feel it," she said.

Lin Yafei’s voice carried a coquettish tone, resembling a love-struck silly girl, her eyes filled with intense admiration.

At the sound of her voice, Lu Tianxing’s expression drastically changed, his body instantly becoming taut. He could clearly feel several cold gazes falling upon him, nearly freezing him stiff.

Lu Tianxing looked up at Lin Yafei and forced a bitter smile. This demoness was not going to stop until she killed him, he was almost certain. Lin Yafei must have said it on purpose and her intention was to challenge Bai Zhiqing, to see who was the more formidable one.

Lu Tianxing gave a bitter smile and pleaded, "President Lin, please spare me this time! What does it mean to be impressive? I had no choice; Minister Xue is Mr. Bai’s favorite, so saving Minister Xue is like saving Mr. Bai. Maybe Mr. Bai would be so happy that he’d give me a bonus. Therefore, I wasn’t as noble as you think, I played the hero for money."

Lin Yafei smiled and said, "Is that so? But I still think you’re very impressive, very manly. How about coming to work for my company? I promise not to bully you, and I’ll increase your salary every month. What do you think? Maybe I could even pay you with my body, letting you have both wealth and beauty."

As she spoke, Lin Yafei winked at Lu Tianxing, her beautiful eyes seemingly able to cast sparks.

Hearing Lin Yafei try to lure him away right in front of her, Bai Zhiqing’s pretty face instantly turned cold as she said icily: "Lin Demon, what do you mean by that? Are you suggesting that I’ve ever bullied him in the company? And can you restrain yourself a bit? You’re not exactly young; don’t you see you’re much older than him? The old cow eating tender grass, hmph."
