Chapter 551: Chapter 547 Oscar-winning actor (27 more)

It was with great difficulty that Xue Bing managed to finish the watery porridge in her bowl. No longer able to bear the strange atmosphere, she stood up and said, "Sister Zhiqing, I caused you trouble today. I have other things to do, so I’ll leave first. Sorry for the inconvenience, Sister Zhiqing."

"Hmm, be careful on your way."

Putting down her bowl gracefully, Bai Zhiqing nodded and said, "Lu Tianxing, Xiao Bing is leaving. Aren’t you going to say goodbye?"

"Officer Xue, take care."

Lu Tianxing lifted his head and added, "Also, I parked your police car outside; the keys are on the coffee table."

"Hmm."

Xue Bing nodded and said to Lu Tianxing, "Lu Tianxing, I remember what you said last night. Thank you for comforting me all the time. You’re a good person. If I ever look for a boyfriend in the future, I will definitely use the standards you set to find one."

After finishing her words, Xue Bing turned and left the villa, leaving a stunned Lu Tianxing behind.

"Bang!"

A clear sound as the door closed.

Lu Tianxing immediately snapped back to reality, put down his bowl, and said, "Wife, I’m full. I’m going to work now. You can drive yourself there. I feel like going out for a walk to digest."

"Stop right there."

At this moment, Bai Zhiqing’s face had completely turned cold as she spoke sharply, "Lu Tianxing, isn’t it time for you to give me a reasonable explanation? I’m eager to know just how many wives you have out there and what exactly you said to Xiao Bing last night. I hadn’t realized you’ve become so capable now, changing citizenship as easily as eating or drinking."

Looking at Bai Zhiqing’s complexion, Lu Tianxing felt a headache coming on. He hadn’t expected Xue Bing to dig a hole for him before she left.

"Wife, if I said that Xue Bing’s words were just setting me up, would you believe me?" Lu Tianxing asked cautiously.

"Setting you up? Why would she do that to you if you have no grudges?" Bai Zhiqing didn’t believe a word Lu Tianxing said.

"Uh!"

Lu Tianxing was taken aback. How could he explain? Could he really say that he had taken advantage of Xue Bing before and had fooled her this morning, which is why she’d set him up like this?

If he said that, Bai Zhiqing would go crazy.

"Wife, I really didn’t say anything to Xue Bing. Last night, she only told me that she liked working on the front lines, but her chief was disgruntled with her, wanting her to sit in the office and treating her like a vase. So I accompanied her for drinks and just shared some life philosophies I saw online. I didn’t do anything else," Lu Tianxing explained.

Lu Tianxing recounted the events of the previous night, carefully omitting the part where he had sprayed wine on Xue Bing’s face and chest.

After listening to Lu Tianxing’s explanation, Bai Zhiqing said with a sneer, "Lu Tianxing, don’t you find what you’re saying a bit unreliable? Just because you were a comforting presence once, she’s made you into an idol? And she plans to find a boyfriend based on your standards in the future?"

"Wife, doesn’t this indirectly prove your man’s excellence and your good taste?" Lu Tianxing said, buttering her up.

"Excellence?"

Bai Zhiqing gave Lu Tianxing a scrutinizing look and said, "All I see is a lecher, not excellence."

Hearing this, Lu Tianxing protested, "Wife, you can’t belittle yourself. If I’m a lecher, then what does that make you—a female lecher? After all, how could you have fallen for me? It’s an inter-species relationship. It’s not supposed to happen."

"You..."

Taking a deep breath, Bai Zhiqing tried to calm herself down and said, "Alright then, let’s change the subject. Tell me exactly how many ’good wives’ you have."

"Honey, haven’t you noticed a huge problem with yourself?" Lu Tianxing said to Bai Zhiqing solemnly.

Bai Zhiqing was taken aback, "What do you mean by that?"

"Wife, you’ve become more and more gossipy, and, what’s more, you’re getting increasingly jealous."

"What did you say? Say it again if you dare."

Bai Zhiqing froze, then glared at Lu Tianxing, her fists clenched tight, as if ready to beat him to a pulp if he couldn’t give her a satisfactory explanation.

In Modu, countless men idolized her as a goddess, and many longed just to see her jealous or gossiping once; she had always dismissed such notions with contempt. But now Lu Tianxing dared to despise her, accusing her of being a busybody. She was determined to beat him up.

"Not saying it again, a man’s word is his bond, definitely not repeating it."

"Go to hell! Jerk."

In the end, Lu Tianxing paid the price for teasing Bai Zhiqing; she threw him aside at home, leaving him to enjoy the ’pleasure’ of squeezing onto a public bus all by himself.

When Lu Tianxing finally arrived at Bai’s Group, it was already past nine in the morning, a whole hour late.

Taking the elevator up leisurely to the top floor, Lu Tianxing was unsurprisingly stopped by Lan Xin once more. However, this time Lan Xin wasn’t cold and stern; she was almost beaming with joy, her face practically declaring how great her mood was.

"Secretary Lan, did you pick up money this morning? Why are you so happy?" Lu Tianxing asked curiously, eyeing Lan Xin in front of him.

"Haha, of course I’m happy," Lan Xin laughed heartily and patted Lu Tianxing’s shoulder heavily, saying, "Lu Tianxing, your performance yesterday was exceptional. You really are a professional, and I’m very satisfied."

"Naturally," Lu Tianxing said with a proud smile, "If I hadn’t chosen the wrong path back then, the Oscar would have been mine."

He then asked, "Your parents aren’t setting you up on blind dates anymore, are they?"

"Of course not."

Lan Xin looked at Lu Tianxing and said, "Hehe, Lu Tianxing, you did a great job yesterday. If there’s a next time, I’ll need to trouble you again."

"No, please no, Secretary Lan. This one time only, please don’t ask me again. I’m afraid if I keep playing along with you, it’ll turn from pretense to reality. If my wife finds out, she’d literally split me in two. Next time, please find someone more capable!"

Hearing Lan Xin’s words, Lu Tianxing got nervous and shook his head repeatedly in refusal. Helping Lan Xin pretend to be his girlfriend again would make it all too real.

"You..."

Lan Xin, who had been in a good mood, suddenly got annoyed after hearing this: "Lu Tianxing, you scoundrel, how can you go back on your word, not keeping your promise? You trickster."

"Secretary Lan, let’s be conscientious in our words, when have I ever gone back on my word?"

"You did, how did you promise me yesterday? You said you’d definitely help me sort this out. But is it perfectly resolved now?"

"Isn’t it perfectly resolved? Your parents aren’t pressuring you to go on blind dates anymore, is that not a resolution? What else do you want, for me to accompany you to get a marriage certificate?"

"Like I’d get a marriage certificate with you."

Lan Xin rolled her eyes at Lu Tianxing and said emphatically, "You’ve only resolved half the problem for me."
