"What are you laughing at, get serious."
Bai Zhiqing glared at Lu Tianxing, her voice cold as she spoke, "Lu Tianxing, I don't care what you have done or what your intentions are, but in this company, there are three things you must remember clearly."
"Alright, you have big boobs, you make the rules, you say."
Lu Tianxing had no intention of saying anything more, teasing Bai Zhiqing was enough, there was no need to really agitate her, that would be more trouble than it's worth.
"First, from now on, you are not allowed to call me those nauseating nicknames, only Chairman or Mr. Bai, just like the other employees. Second, you are not permitted to come to my office without reason, and you must not disclose our relationship, we need to maintain a distance. Third, you must behave in the company, do not look for trouble, if you just keep to yourself and follow the rules, I won't bother you, I might even let you keep muddling along in the company. Fourth…"
"Wait, wait, wife, oh, Chairman, that's too much! I'm here to work, not to be in prison."
Lu Tianxing raised his hand to protest.
"Slap!"
Bai Zhiqing slammed her hands on the desk, her beautiful eyes wide with anger, "My word is the law, you just listen, no interruptions."
"Yes, yes."
Lu Tianxing gave a bitter smile.
Bai Zhiqing pouted, seemingly satisfied with Lu Tianxing's attitude, as she sat in her chair and continued to lay out the rules, spouting more than a dozen before stopping.
"Chairman Bai, are you done? If so, I'm going to head out."
Lu Tianxing was on pins and needles, eager to leave. He was truly afraid Bai Zhiqing would come up with even more rules.
After pondering for a moment, Bai Zhiqing nodded and said, "Let's leave it at that for today. You must follow each and every rule. In short, you can mess around outside all you want, that's your freedom, and we won't interfere with each other, but in the company, you must listen to me. If I tell you to go east, you can't go west. If I tell you to sit, you can't stand. Understood?"
"Yes, yes."
Lu Tianxing hastily agreed, thinking he'd deal with this now and see if he actually would listen later. And as for the requests, especially those like warming up the bed, he was one hundred percent not going to refuse.
"Wait!"
Bai Zhiqing suddenly called to Lu Tianxing, who was about to leave. Her slender fingers took up a pen and swiftly wrote a few strokes, then handed the paper to Lu Tianxing, "This is my address. Since we're married, we have to live together on the surface. You don't need to work today. Your task is to move out of your 'dog's den' as soon as possible."
Having said that, Bai Zhiqing waved her hand, signaling for Lu Tianxing to leave.
"Hehe, wife, I understand, understand completely. I will move out as quickly as possible, guaranteed not to disappoint you, and if you have any needs tonight, I'll do my best to satisfy you."
Lu Tianxing took the address and gently traced a circle in the palm of Bai Zhiqing's hand. A flirtatious smile spread across his face as he quickly left the office before she could react, leaving behind the flushed and indignantly fuming Bai Zhiqing.
After leaving the office, Lu Tianxing headed straight for the elevator. Remembering the soft and smooth touch, and the shy demeanor of Bai Zhiqing, he smirked to himself thinking, one day, he would make the goddess descend from her pedestal to become a woman.
Bang!
The elevator doors had just opened, and as Lu Tianxing was lost in his thoughts, he didn't notice what was in front of him. He took a step out and immediately felt a soft body bump into his own.
Lu Tianxing came back to his senses and looked down to find a woman sitting on the ground, a pained expression on her face. Just as Lu Tianxing was about to speak, he was immediately captivated by her impressive "assets." Looking down from above, he could clearly see the deep, endless chasm, which made him unconsciously swallow.
Was it that the matchmaker god felt sorry for him and arranged a huge amount of good fortune for him?
Or was it that his luck had finally turned around? It hadn't been long, and he had already encountered so many top-notch beauties.
"I'm sorry, are you okay?"
Lu Tianxing came back to his senses and politely extended a hand.
The woman glanced at Lu Tianxing and hesitated for a moment before slowly reaching out her hand to him.
The first feeling upon touching it was softness, silkiness, like holding a piece of soft jade.
It was then that Lu Tianxing truly took a good look at the woman's appearance: her calm and gentle demeanor was the first thing that struck him. She was very beautiful, her black hair tied up high, exposing her snowy white, smooth neck. There was a warm and cordial aura about her slightly made-up face, and her lively eyes were like two black gems, inviting one to willingly fall into them. Her whole presence was gentle and peaceful, unforgettable at first sight.
Subconsciously, Lu Tianxing compared her to Bai Zhiqing. If Bai Zhiqing was an enchanting, domineering rose with thorns, then this woman was a lotus, a lotus unsoiled by mud, stirring a kind of heartfelt pity from within.
"I'm fine. It's not your fault; I wasn't paying attention."
The woman did not blame Lu Tianxing, but her tone was cold and distant.
"I'm really sorry about before."
Lu Tianxing smiled sheepishly, not having expected that after returning to the city for over a year, his vigilance had decreased so much.
"It doesn't matter."
The woman intended to leave, but when her gaze swept over Lu Tianxing's arm, made visible because he had rolled up his sleeves, her eyes narrowed slightly, betraying a hint of confusion and suspicion. Her body trembled slightly as if something had come back to her.
"Are you Lu Tianxing?"
The woman stared intensely into Lu Tianxing's eyes, her voice tinged with nervousness and anticipation.
"I am."
Lu Tianxing touched his nose, curiously asking, "Beautiful, do you know me?"
"Not yet, but now I do. I'll come to find you when I have time."
The woman gazed deeply at Lu Tianxing, a trace of barely concealed excitement flashing in her eyes, but she said no more and hastily walked toward the Chairman's office.
Watching the woman's vanishing figure, a playful smile appeared on Lu Tianxing's lips. This woman wasn't bad, and she seemed to know him too.
By the time he got back to the security department, Lu Tianxing noticed the other security guards looked at him differently, with a hint of respect. Like squashing an ant, he had sent Ding Hao, the department's second-best, to the hospital, faced Chairman Bai, and come out unscathed—this definitely signaled a background more powerful than one could imagine.
Otherwise, no matter what Lu Tianxing had done, the end result would have been him being kicked out, but there he was, completely untroubled, not looking like someone who had just been reprimanded.
As for the glances around him, Lu Tianxing didn't feel anything, chatted with Huang Can for a while, and went straight into Xue Man's office. Whether it was because Bai Zhiqing had given him a heads-up or something else, Xue Man had no issue with Lu Tianxing asking for leave and nodded in agreement right away, which made Lu Tianxing appreciate the usefulness of power anew.
