Beauty Chairwoman's Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 966: Chapter 960 Understanding

Everyone had left, leaving only Bai Zhiqing, Lin Qianru, and Lu Tianxing in the hall. The atmosphere became somewhat tense, and none of the three spoke first.

Lin Qianru sat on the sofa, cautiously glancing at Lu Tianxing. She wasn’t foolish; even though Bai Zhiqing verbally accepted her, she was undoubtedly very resistant to her deep down. One wouldn’t even need to guess to know that; if she were in Bai Zhiqing’s place, she wouldn’t be friendly either.

Bai Zhiqing sat on the sofa as well, her pretty face devoid of any emotion, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking deep down.

Lu Tianxing didn’t speak either, instead focusing on the two women. He chuckled bitterly to himself; he knew it would be like this. Although Bai Zhiqing had verbally acknowledged Lin Qianru’s identity, she was actually somewhat resistant to her deep down.

This isn’t about broad-mindedness; if any woman faces the mistress who tries to snatch her husband, it’s already the best outcome if she doesn’t turn hostile.

Wanting to break the silence, Lu Tianxing tried several times to speak but couldn’t find the words, awkwardly sitting there.

After a while, Bai Zhiqing suddenly said, "You two chat, I’ll head upstairs to rest."

As she spoke, Bai Zhiqing stood up and walked towards the stairs.

"Honey, I..." Lu Tianxing couldn’t help calling out when he saw Bai Zhiqing’s demeanor.

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Bai Zhiqing paused slightly, turned her head to look at him, smiled without saying anything, and continued heading upstairs.

Seeing Bai Zhiqing’s smile, Lu Tianxing sighed softly. He understood the bitterness contained within, but he felt helpless. If he pursued Bai Zhiqing, he would inevitably hurt the other woman’s heart.

"Tianxing, go be with Zhiqing! Don’t worry about me," Lin Qianru said to Lu Tianxing, with a faint smile on her face.

"But you..." noveldrama

Before Lu Tianxing could finish, Lin Qianru interrupted, "Tianxing, don’t worry about me, I’m fine. You should go be with Zhiqing! It’s my fault for taking you from her side, and if I let you stay with me tonight, I’d be even sorrier to her. I know she feels uncomfortable and needs your comfort, so go!"

"I..."

"I’m fine."

Lin Qianru gave Lu Tianxing a gentle smile, like a good wife and loving mother, and walked over to him to straighten his collar.

Wrapping her arms around Lu Tianxing’s waist and resting her head on his chest, Lin Qianru softly said, "Honestly, I’m already satisfied that Zhiqing can accept me and stay by your side watching you. If I were to monopolize you now, I’d feel too guilty to Zhiqing. You go ahead! I’m not the kind of woman who gets jealous, don’t worry about me."

"Alright then!"

Seeing Lin Qianru’s demeanor, Lu Tianxing ultimately nodded, sighing deeply in his heart. Bai Zhiqing cared for him, and Lin Qianru did too, even Lin Yafei and Rose cared for him, making him feel he couldn’t adequately repay them.

"Let’s go upstairs together!"

"Okay!"

Saying this, Lu Tianxing and Lin Qianru walked upstairs hand in hand.

Meanwhile, in another room, Mandala lay on the sofa and looked at Lin Yafei nearby and said, "Sister Yafei, you’re leaving just like that? Not staying behind? What if my sister-in-law and Sister Qianru start fighting?"

"Stay behind? Manman, are you sure you would stay to mediate and not just watch the excitement?"

Lin Qianru looked at Mandala, full of doubt.

After spending time with Mandala, she understood Mandala’s character completely—playfully mischievous, always pulling pranks, but harmless ones, making it impossible to hate her and instead finding her quite adorable.

"Haha, you really get me, Sister Yafei. I’ve never seen what it’s like for goddesses to fight!"

Hearing Lin Yafei’s words, Mandala laughed awkwardly, resting her chin in her hands, she asked, "Sister Yafei, who do you think my brother will sleep with tonight?"

"No matter who he sleeps with, the other will be hurt," Lin Yafei said calmly.

"Really? But what if it’s a big blanket affair, sharing a bed?"

When Lin Yafei heard this, she smirked and said, "Wishful thinking, a big blanket affair! Your brother would certainly be willing, but do you think your sister-in-law would agree? If your brother dared to do this, I guarantee you’d be calling him ’Sis’ instead of ’Bro’ soon."

"Sister Yafei, wouldn’t you feel upset if my brother becomes a eunuch? You’d lose your happiness for the rest of your life," Mandala winked at Lin Yafei and said.

Seeing Mandala’s expression, a blush spread over Lin Yafei’s face as she jokingly said, "Manman, you little brat, if I don’t deal with you one day, you’ll dare tease your big sister. Believe me, I’ll eat you up tonight."

"Hmph, Sister Yafei, don’t deny it. I know how you look at my brother; if not for my sister-in-law, you’d have devoured him completely. Besides, what’s the big deal about liking someone?" Mandala said dismissively.

"You brat, what’s wrong if I like your brother, you little flat-chested girl."

"I’m flat-chested, and proud of saving cloth for the nation! What’s it to you? Jealous?"

Mandala proudly boasted about her assets, curiously asking, "Sister Yafei, I have a question. You like my brother, but he has other women around him, do you not feel jealous?"

Hearing Mandala’s words, Lin Yafei shook her head with a bitter smile, "I have no right to be jealous."

"Why not?" Mandala immediately asked.

"Manman, you simply don’t understand the world of love."

Lin Yafei put down the magazine, looked at Mandala, and said, "In the world of love, true happiness doesn’t come solely from possessing. Some people never got married but still grow old together. Can you say they aren’t happy? If you weigh love too heavily, compete for this or that, it will only be off-putting and push this man into someone else’s arms. As a woman, sometimes you need to be smart, and sometimes you need to play dumb. Understand?"
