<h4>Chapter 218: Chapter 217 Let Go of That Dog</h4>


    Xiangjiang Hotel, Lu Tianxing stepped out of a taxi, holding famous Xiangjiang delicacies—shrimp wonton and pineapple buns—in his hands and humming a tune, he leisurely rode the elevator up to his floor.


    "Lu Tianxing, where were you tonight?"


    As he stepped out of the elevator and just turned a corner, Lu Tianxing heard a voiceden with anger and usation.


    He followed the sound and saw Xue Man standing at his door with her arms crossed, her beautiful eyes coldly staring at him.


    "I’m a stranger here; where could I go? I just went out to buy somete-night snacks. So, Minister Xue, would you like to try some?"


    Lu Tianxing lifted the food in his hand, silently feeling lucky that he had bought some snacks on his way back. Otherwise, he couldn’t have dealt with Xue Man, who was still shocked from the kiss earlier that day and hadn’t told Bai Zhiqing about the incident in the changing room. If Xue Man had caught on to something else, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    However, Lu Tianxing wondered if Xue Man was specifically there to watch over him, considering how she knew he had left the moment he did.


    "You went down to buy somete-night snacks?"


    Doubt flickered across Xue Man’s face as she sized up Lu Tianxing, trying to detect any clue.


    Lu Tianxing stood innocently in ce, staring unblinkingly at Xue Man, and muttered to himself, wondering if all beautiful women liked to cross their arms like that, or if it made their chests look bigger.


    After a long while, Xue Man finally withdrew her gaze, "You’re sensible not to lie to me. If you dare to mess around with that woman, I guarantee your death will be miserable. I will report this matter to the chairman no matter what."


    Saying this, Xue Man no longer paid any attention to Lu Tianxing and turned to walk towards her room.


    "Minister Xue, wait a moment, I have something to tell you."


    Lu Tianxing suddenly called out to Xue Man, and under her puzzled look, he said, "Minister Xue, your current appearance reminds me of someone, like a woman waiting for her husband and preparing to catch a mistress."


    "Bastard, what did you say?"


    Xue Man erupted in anger, her eyes filled with murderous intent as she red at Lu Tianxing, but at the doorway, there was no longer a trace of Lu Tianxing, just a tightly closed door.


    "Lu Tianxing, you bastard, if you ever fall into my hands, you’ll regret it."


    Xue Man gritted her teeth angrily, her gaze fixed on Lu Tianxing’s door. However, because of his words, she couldn’t calm down and her eyes revealed aplex meaning. She didn’t understand why, despite being forcefully kissed by Lu Tianxing at the Guangrong Department Store, she should have wanted to tear Lu Tianxing apart.


    Yet, after returning to her room, she found her mind filled with the image of Lu Tianxing, unable to shake it off. Having struggled until the evening, she inexplicably wanted to see Lu Tianxing again, which led her to stake out his door. Upon discovering he was not there and recalling the intimate moment between Lu Tianxing and that woman at noon, Xue Man suddenly felt upset. Despite having a great beauty by his side, he still went after a married woman, which is why she angrily waited at Lu Tianxing’s doorway, wanting an exnation.


    Xue Man remained rooted to the spot, lost in endless thoughts, staring nkly at Lu Tianxing’s room door until a waiter came by to remind her. She suddenly snapped back to reality, suppressed theplicated emotions in her heart, and hurried back to her room to pack her things, preparing to return to Modu tomorrow.


    The next day, at one o’clock in the afternoon, a ne arrived from the distant skies,nding steadily on the runway of Modu Airport and finally parked at its designated spot.


    "Finally back, it really does feel great at home, the spring is splendid, and the sun is shining brightly; even my mood has improved, and I can feel the rush of freedom greeting me."


    When Lu Tianxing walked out of the airport, he spread his arms wide, took a deep breath, and eximed out loud.


    "Hmph, country bumpkin."


    Xue Man pursed her lips, scoffed coldly, and ignoring Lu Tianxing’s protesting gaze, she hailed a taxi and left the airport directly.


    Seeing Xue Man’s fiery demeanor, Lu Tianxing was at a loss for words. This woman really held a grudge—was it just because he had likened her to a nagging housewifest night? She hadn’t spoken to him all day and looked at him as though he were an enemy, with such a cold gaze.


    "Women ah! Your hearts are like needles at the bottom of the ocean."


    Lu Tianxing shook his head, called a taxi, and went directly to Bai’s Group.


    After arriving at thepany, Lu Tianxing greeted the receptionist and took the elevator to the chairman’s office.


    Taking the elevator to the top floor of Bai’s Group, Lu Tianxing didn’t head for the chairman’s office but instead went straight to the desk of Bai Zhiqing’s secretary, Lan Xin, with a smile on his face.


    "Secretary Lan, long time no see, did you miss me?"


    Lu Tianxing ced his hands on the desk, looking down at Lan Xin from above. It must be said that where beauties gather, there tend to be more beauties like Lan Xin, beautiful indeed and especially with her doll-like oval face, she seemed merely fifteen or sixteen, involuntarily reminding one of the phrase ’youth and beauty are fleeting.’


    As Lu Tianxing stared intently at Lan Xin, she was dressed in a ck business suit, roughly 165 cm tall, her figure was entuated by the tailored suit, with her ck skirt revealing a pair of charming legs, making a certain kind of man like Lu Tianxing suddenly feel his adrenaline pump faster.


    Perhaps because of Bai Zhiqing, Lan Xin had absolutely no fondness for thezy and carefree Lu Tianxing, her eyes cold as if she were looking at a criminal, on high alert.


    Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Lan Xin nced at him and disdainfully said, "You’re delusional. I’d rather miss a dog than think about you."


    "Miss a dog?"


    Lu Tianxing’s eyes widened, and he said contemptuously, "Secretary Lan, I despise you, truly from the bottom of my heart. I didn’t realize you were so wicked, not even sparing a dog. If possible, I would like to say this to you—let the dog go, it’s innocent. Whatever you have, bring it to me."


    "Buzz off, don’t bother me when I’m busy, I still have work to do!" Lan Xin said irritably.


    "Hehe, work can wait tillter. Secretary Lan, we haven’t seen each other for so many days, aren’t you going to give me a wee kiss? Come on, give me one."


    Lu Tianxing chuckled and walked directly towards Lan Xin.


    "What are you trying to do, don’te any closer, or beware, I won’t be polite to you anymore."


    Lan Xin’s face showed panic, and suddenly it seemed she remembered something. She swiftly pulled out a palm-sized taser from her desk drawer, pressed the switch on, and immediately a purple arc of electricity crackled into life.
