Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Before Lu Tianxing could finish, Xue Man interrupted, ”Lu Tianxing, don’t try to fool me with the same spiel you used on my mom. I can tell that Hu Lianhai is really afraid of you, even to his bones. Your word seemed to invoke a fear that came from deep within his soul. It’s not just because of your friends, as you said. I feel like he fears you as a person, not your friends.”

Lu Tianxing froze. Xue Man’s perception was so sharp, so cutting—it was unnerving how much she could uncover.

Taking a deep breath, Xue Man earnestly said, ”Lu Tianxing, no matter what your identity is, I just hope you won’t go down a dark path. You’re still young with a promising future. Don’t ruin your life so easily.”

At her words, Lu Tianxing chuckled, ”Minister Xue, can I take that as you being concerned about me?”

”I’m not concerned about you.”

Xue Man’s heart skipped a beat, her words lacking conviction, ”You’re overthinking—it’s just that I’m worried for Qian Ru. What if something happens to you? What would Qian Ru do then? Do you want her to wait for you forever?”

”Really? You don’t care about me at all?”

Lu Tianxing looked at Xue Man with a quasi-smile, his intense gaze suddenly making her feel uneasy.

”Of course, it’s true. Alright, you should head back now! I’m leaving first, goodbye.”

With that, Xue Man hurriedly walked toward the ward, the fervent gaze of Lu Tianxing making her feel as though she was standing naked in front of him, with no secrets left to hide.
