Lu Tianxing's easygoing response surprisingly stunned Bai Zhiqing. In her eyes, this rascal would surely talk her into a multitude of conditions, and she was prepared for it, but he suddenly ceased the fight. It felt as if you had downloaded seeds all night, only to find they were the entire collection of "Gourd Brothers," pixelated nonetheless, a truly frustrating and blood-boiling situation.
"Are you wondering why I agreed so readily?"
Lu Tianxing seemed to know what Bai Zhiqing was thinking and lifted his head to reveal a brilliant smile.
Bai Zhiqing almost instinctively nodded her head.
"Because you're a rich lady."
Lu Tianxing squinted his eyes, said blissfully, "I, Lu Tianxing, am just an unemployed drifter, struggling to make ends meet. Finally, I find you, a wealthy lady to support me. How could I possibly let this go? This is like a long-term meal ticket. Even if you kick me to the curb later, your board of directors' style of doing things will surely compensate me handsomely to keep quiet. With that money, I can go back to my hometown and marry a beautiful wife, how much huh?"
"You...."
Bai Zhiqing felt like her lungs were about to explode with irritation. She had seen men live off women before, but never one who admitted it so blatantly.
She suppressed her urge to walk away and said coldly, "Give me your phone number?"
"Phone number?"
Lu Tianxing was slightly stunned, then glanced at Bai Zhiqing and chuckled, "Wife, I didn't expect you to be so eager to fulfill our marital duties! Where are you planning to go tonight? I know a hotel that's perfect for couples, very affordable. Since you're my wife, I'll cover the room cost."
"Pfft."
Bai Zhiqing choked on the coffee she had just sipped and, with no trace of lady-like demeanor, spewed it out, her eyes wide with disbelief at Lu Tianxing.
I'll cover the room cost?
The audacity of this guy was just too much. To think he considered himself something special—a scoundrel, a rogue. If not for the necessity of the situation, she would make sure this guy spent a lifetime in prison.
"Hehe, my dear wife, I know you're urgent, but no need to rush like this. Drink your coffee first. By the way, my phone number is 1593232…, available 24/7, at your beck and call."
Lu Tianxing rattled off a string of numbers and, before Bai Zhiqing could explode, he swiftly left the café.
Before he even left the café, Lu Tianxing heard Bai Zhiqing's infuriated voice behind him, pausing with an unstoppable rage.
It seems Lu Tianxing was the first person in history to drive the icy CEO of Bai's Group to lose her composure completely.
"Ah, to think this is the chairperson and CEO of Bai's Group! Her composure really needs improvement; otherwise, she might lose millions in a moment of anger."
Lu Tianxing shook his head, hands in his pockets, casually strolling through the streets, eyes appreciating the pristine beauty of summer.
After wandering around the streets for a while, Lu Tianxing was about to head home when suddenly a sharp cry caught his attention, prompting him to look ahead.
A stunner! An absolute beauty!
Her figure was undoubtedly the envy of all women.
Lu Tianxing squinted his eyes, his lips curling slightly. Modu truly was an international metropolis filled with beauties, and now he had come across a gorgeous policewoman.
"Hey, person ahead, stop him. Don't let him get away," the policewoman shouted upon seeing Lu Tianxing.
Lu Tianxing's gaze swept over the policewoman, interestingly observing a man in his thirties, his face marred by scars, holding a dagger, running ahead.
"Kid, get out of the way, or I'll kill you."
The man also noticed Lu Tianxing, staring at him fiercely. When he saw Lu Tianxing dodge, a smug smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Kid, you know better. Otherwise, I'd make you suffer..."
Before he could finish speaking, the man felt as though his left leg had struck a steel rod, and his body flew several meters before crashing hard onto the concrete ground, emitting a painful scream.
Lu Tianxing slowly retracted his left leg, his face bearing a content smile.
The policewoman, witnessing the scene, was momentarily stunned, then quickly snapped back to reality and rushed to the man's side, pulling out her handcuffs, "Run now, let's see you try, Leopard. I've been watching you for a long time, and finally, I've caught you. Just quietly stay in prison for life!"
Spot on, she's a naturally gorgeous beauty!
Lu Tianxing sized up the policewoman, feeling that his luck today was too good, picking up a wife and meeting a beautiful cop. It seemed he was on the path to peak life, winning a white, wealthy, and beautiful woman.
The policewoman completely missed the glances Lu Tianxing was spinning around her. She kicked the man down, stepped on his back, cuffed him, then turned to Lu Tianxing and said, "Sir, thank you for just now."
Only then did Lu Tianxing get a clear look at the policewoman. She was a strikingly valiant officer, with shoulder-length hair, a prominent nose, a face as smooth as a peeled egg, tender white skin, no roughness despite fighting crime outside, a uniform that accentuated her valiant aura, and an S-shaped figure that was unmissable.
Xue Bing had been feeling very good, having finally spotted a flaw in a long-watched suspect, and with the help of an enthusiastic citizen, they had captured the guy. But now, this citizen was staring at her intently, a sleazy smile on his lips, turning her mood sour instantly.
Gradually, a cold frost covered the heroic loveliness of Xue Bing's face as she angrily shouted, "Had enough yet?"
"Not enough, how could it be enough? If I could take you home and watch you for a lifetime, maybe that would be enough."
Lu Tianxing honestly nodded. Upon seeing Xue Bing's gloomy expression, he came back to his senses and righteously said, "Officer, you don't need to thank me. As a good citizen, combating crime and nurturing a harmonious society is everyone's responsibility. However, if you really want to thank me, it's not impossible—a victory kiss will suffice."
"What did you say? Dare to say that again."
Xue Bing's face chilled, breaking into a towering rage, her fury blazing. When had anyone in Modu dared to flirt with her?
"I said if you want to thank me, just give me a victory kiss, after all, I'm easily satisfied," Lu Tianxing earnestly replied.
"Shameless thug, a victory kiss, huh! I'll give you a victorious strike today."
Xue Bing's murderous intent suddenly erupted, she sharply reached for Lu Tianxing's arm, quick and fierce, aiming to deliver a skilled takedown.
Lu Tianxing's eyes lit up, mentally praising, not expecting the curvaceous policewoman to be as fragile as she appeared. Such an aggressive attack was surely not the dai-work of a regular person.
Almost instinctively, Lu Tianxing slightly shifted his body, grabbed her arm, moved his feet, and secured Xue Bing's arm behind her back, his arm wrapping around her to prevent any further movement.
"Filthy thug, let me go, or I'll charge you with assaulting an officer."
Xue Bing's face flushed red, her body desperately struggling to break free from Lu Tianxing's hold.
"Officer, don't be so violent next time. There's always someone better out there, and being impulsive can lead to serious losses," Lu Tianxing said lightly.
Lu Tianxing chuckled, kissed her charming face before she could react, then vanished from the spot, leaving only his voice echoing, "I'm always clear about grudges and gratefulness. Beautiful officer, you don't need to thank me. Just keep me in your thoughts. This kiss is my reward for saving your life. If you don't believe me, check what's on that man's waist. Impulsiveness can cost lives."
With her face burning red with anger, Xue Bing fiercely glanced in the direction where Lu Tianxing had disappeared, then her gaze fell on the man, who was visibly panicking under her stare.
"Just as I suspected."
Xue Bing's expression darkened, she quickly walked over to the man, grabbed him, searched him, and found a weapon on him, which drastically changed her expression. She silently thanked her luck that Lu Tianxing had helped earlier; if the man had reached a secluded place, the outcome could have been just as Lu Tianxing described.
"Leopard, you've got another charge now. Just stay inside for life!"
