CHAPTER 1420: CHAPTER 1413: LIN YAFEI ARRIVES

Watching Mu Qingxue and Mu Qingchuan leave, Bai Zhiqing suddenly sighed gently. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions. Although she only chatted with Mu Qingxue briefly in the box, she could clearly feel Mu Qingxue’s love for Lu Tianxing, which was no less than her own. She even believed that Mu Qingxue would do anything for Lu Tianxing.

"Wife, you and Qingxue..." Watching Mu Qingxue leave, Lu Tianxing finally couldn’t hold back the doubts in his heart and spoke up to Bai Zhiqing.

Bai Zhiqing snapped back to reality upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words and said with a smile, "Qingxue and I are, of course, good sisters. Moreover, Qingxue has already agreed with me that the next time she holds a concert, she will invite me as her special guest to sing ’The Ugly Duckling’ with her. Why, are you unhappy with my good relationship with Qingxue? Do you have any objections?"

"No, wife, you’re overthinking it. I’m too happy to even express it!"

Hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, Lu Tianxing decisively shook his head. Despite Bai Zhiqing’s smiling face towards him, he could clearly sense the threat in her eyes. If he dared to say he had any objections, he might end up sleeping on the sofa tonight.

"Then why are you asking?"

Bai Zhiqing rolled her eyes at Lu Tianxing and said, "Hurry up and drive for me. Do you want Manman and me to keep standing here for the crowd to watch?"

"Hehe, you two wait here, I’ll go get the car."

With that, Lu Tianxing turned and walked towards the parking spot.

Meanwhile, in another direction, Mu Qingchuan drove the car toward the Shangri-La Hotel, but his eyes continuously lingered on Mu Qingxue. Although he didn’t know what was said between Mu Qingxue and Bai Zhiqing while they were alone in the box, he could sense that Mu Qingxue’s mood seemed very pleasant ever since she chatted with Bai Zhiqing tonight, no longer showing that melancholic demeanor. This joy seemed to come genuinely from the heart, not as an act put on for him.

Watching Mu Qingxue’s slight smile, Mu Qingchuan couldn’t contain his curiosity any longer and asked, "Qingxue, can you tell me what Bai Zhiqing said to you that made you so happy?"

Hearing Mu Qingchuan’s question, Mu Qingxue snapped back and said with a soft smile, "Brother, why are you asking this? Don’t you know this is a little secret between women? Do you, a big man, want to know women’s little secrets?"

"Uh!"

Mu Qingchuan, hearing Mu Qingxue’s playful words, felt a bit speechless. Since when did his sister become so mischievous? However, seeing the smile on Mu Qingxue’s face made Mu Qingchuan let out a small sigh of relief. He was worried that Mu Qingxue would turn into a modern-day Lin Daiyu, always melancholic. It seemed he was overthinking it.

Mu Qingxue stole a glance at Mu Qingchuan, said nothing more, and with a gentle smile on her lips, gazed quietly at the colorful neon lights outside the window, lost in thought, making it hard to tell what she was thinking.

Mu Qingchuan took a look at Mu Qingxue and didn’t ask anything further. To him, as long as Mu Qingxue was happy every day, he, as her brother, was very content.

At this moment, Lu Tianxing also drove away from Shiwei Xuan, heading towards the Suzhou Garden Hotel.

Half an hour later, after parking the car, Lu Tianxing didn’t linger any longer and walked towards the room with Bai Zhiqing and Mandala.

Arriving at the suite entrance, he took out the room card to open the door. The moment he stepped inside, a look of surprise appeared on Lu Tianxing’s face. The originally empty room now somehow had an extra person. A charming figure was sitting on the sofa, legs crossed, leisurely sipping coffee, with her back towards the door.

"Hey, you three are back from your outing. I’ve been waiting here for so long. Aren’t you planning to greet me, maybe with a long-awaited hug?"

Upon hearing the door open, the figure immediately stood up from the sofa, turned around, and revealed a coquettish smile.

The visitor was none other than Lin Yafei, dressed in a light purple tight-fitting dress that perfectly showcased her stunning and explosive figure. Her extraordinary assets were particularly eye-catching, coupled with a model-like physique, prompting an involuntary admiration: what a stunning beauty.

"Lin Demon, what brings you here?"

Bai Zhiqing followed closely behind Lu Tianxing, entering with a look of surprise. Lin Yafei was supposed to have returned to Modu; how did she end up in Jiangnan?

"Why can’t I be here? Am I not allowed to catch someone in the act?"

Lin Yafei’s gaze swept over Bai Zhiqing and finally landed on Mandala, greeting her, "Manman, I’m so glad to see you again. How about we share a room tonight?"

"N-no need, Sister Zhiqing, bro, I’m going back to my room to rest. Goodbye."

Upon hearing Lin Yafei’s words, Mandala shivered violently, her beautiful eyes widening as if she had seen a ghost. After leaving a hurried farewell, she ran to her room without delay.

She’s completely afraid of Lin Yafei now. Lin Yafei is simply an outright rogue. Last time in Beijing, when she shared a bed with Lin Yafei, Lin Yafei lectured her about not having enough murderous aura, suggested she try the newly-researched papaya soup, and forced her to watch action movies, claiming it was for a woman’s future happiness – basically, a total rogue. She’s completely terrified of Lin Yafei’s words now.

Seeing that Mandala was scared off by her words, Lin Yafei’s face spread into a smug smile. She swayed her hips like a water snake as she approached Lu Tianxing, casually draping one hand over his shoulder, her entire body pressed closely against him.

At this moment, as soon as Lu Tianxing lowered his head, he could see things he shouldn’t. A faint fragrance filled his nostrils, making his heart flutter.

Lu Tianxing took a deep breath to suppress the turmoil in his heart, looked at Lin Yafei, who was so close, and said with a wry smile, "Lin Demon, didn’t I tell you to stay in Modu? What are you doing in Jiangnan?"

"Can’t I come to see you? I just wanted to check if you’ve been dazzled by some wildflowers outside. It seems you haven’t."

With that, Lin Yafei wrapped her arms around Lu Tianxing’s arm.

Bai Zhiqing, standing beside them, immediately looked displeased. This witch was blatantly taking advantage of her man right in front of her.

Looking at Lin Yafei’s demeanor, Lu Tianxing knew she must have heard about the incident on Guanqian Street, which was why she rushed to Jiangnan. He had intended to comfort Lin Yafei, but seeing Bai Zhiqing’s discontented face next to him, Lu Tianxing had to suppress that thought and said with a wry smile, "Lin Demon, could you let go of me? Zhiqing is right here."

"What’s there to be afraid of? Little Qingqing once promised me she’d share half of her man with me. As a chairperson, how could she break her word? I’m just enjoying my rightful privilege. If she dares to turn against me, I’ll spill all her embarrassing secrets."

Saying this, Lin Yafei, intentionally or not, pressed her whole body against Lu Tianxing.

Seeing this, Bai Zhiqing finally couldn’t stand it anymore. Was Lin Yafei flirting with her man right in front of her? This was intolerable!

"Lin Demon, can you show some restraint and let go? Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude to you," Bai Zhiqing said irritably.

As she spoke, Bai Zhiqing walked to Lu Tianxing’s side, wrapped her arm around his other arm, and pinched his waist with her right hand. In Bai Zhiqing’s view, Lu Tianxing must be enjoying this, or else, why wouldn’t he push Lin Yafei away?

Feeling the intense pain in his waist, Lu Tianxing blinked, looking innocently at Bai Zhiqing. What does this have to do with him? He’s innocent, okay? Lin Yafei was the one holding his arm, not letting him leave. Even though this witch did it on purpose, he’s still the victim.

"Be rude to me?"

Lin Yafei’s lips curled into a seductive smile as she let go of Lu Tianxing’s arm, swaggering over to Bai Zhiqing like a rogue. She slyly lifted Bai Zhiqing’s chin with a delicate finger and smiled, "How do you plan to be rude to me, Bai Zhiqing? It seems you’ve never beaten me before. What, do you want revenge today?"

While talking, Lin Yafei took advantage of Bai Zhiqing’s stunned moment to grab Bai Zhiqing’s chest as an act of provocation.

"Ah!"

The sudden attack made Bai Zhiqing’s body tremble instinctively, as if she was struck by lightning. She couldn’t believe Lin Yafei dared to be so bold. Her pretty face turned red as blood, even the back of her ears flushed a deep red.

"Lin Demon, what are you doing?"

Bai Zhiqing instinctively stepped back, looking frantically at Lin Yafei. This witch was becoming bolder and bolder.
