<h4>Chapter 256: Chapter 254 After Work, I Want to Buy a Lottery Ticket</h4>


    "Good morning, brother-inw. Eh, brother-inw, why are you covering your face so early in the morning? Do you have a toothache? And what’s with the scratch marks on your face? They look like cat scratches, but that’s not right. Our family doesn’t have a cat, and no one nearby keeps pets either."


    Hearing footsteps from upstairs, Bai Weiwei raised her head and caught sight of Lu Tianxing’s clearly visible scratch marks on his cheek, her eyes suddenly took on a mischievous look, and she chuckled behind her hand.


    Lu Tianxing, upon hearing this, stumbled and almost fell down the stairs. Was his younger sister-inw’s vision too good, he wondered? He had covered his face; how could she still see the scratches? And even once seen, did she have to blurt it out? Was she bent on embarrassing him?


    Both Bai Qiao Mountain and He Can, upon hearing Bai Weiwei’s remarks, instinctively lifted their heads to look at Lu Tianxing. When they saw the scratch marks on his face, they were both stunned for a moment, struggling toprehend. Had there been a fight between the young couple?


    "Good morning, Grandpa, Grandma, having breakfast?"


    Lu Tianxing forced augh and, realizing he couldn’t hide it anymore, dropped his hand and greeted them.


    "Brother-inw, those marks on your face look like they were made by someone’s nails. Did you and sister have a fight?"


    Bai Weiwei propped her chin, curiously gazing at Lu Tianxing with a sly smile on her face.


    It was deliberate, definitely deliberate—this little minx knew exactly what she was doing! Lu Tianxing felt a surge of anger at his younger sister-inw’s knack for bringing up the most inconvenient topics. It was high time he taught her a harsh lesson.


    Lu Tianxing’s eyes swept over Bai Weiwei’s pert bottom as he contemted catching her and spanking her bare backside a hundred times.


    "How could these scratches be from a person? You little minx, always spouting nonsense. With your brother-inw’s skill, who could possibly scratch him? Stop staring. You won’t see anything new. Even eating won’t shut your mouth. Hurry up and eat. Look how skinny you’ve be."


    Lu Tianxing red at Bai Weiwei, snatched up a piece of bread from the table, stuffed it into her mouth, and said, "Grandpa, Grandma, have your breakfast. I’m not hungry. I’ll head to thepany now; there are things waiting for me to handle."


    With that, Lu Tianxing nned to make his escape, as he already felt the re of disapproval and anger from the old man.


    "Where do you think you’re going? Sit down."


    Bai Qiao Mountain looked at the scratches on Lu Tianxing’s face and scoffed, "Exin to me—how did you get these scratches? Don’t tell me it was an ident. Does one identally scratch their own face?"


    With a wry smile, Lu Tianxing obediently sat down at the dining table and started to exin, "Grandpa, I just fell down identally and got scraped by something, and that’s how I got these marks..."


    "Nonsense!"


    Before Lu Tianxing could finish, Bai Qiao Mountain interrupted him, "Fell down identally, you think I’m senile? In this world, if everyone were to fall, you still wouldn’t be the one to fall. Tell me, what really happened? Did Zhiqing scratch you? Did you two have a fight?"


    "Grandpa, I really did fall down. It has nothing to do with anyone else."


    Lu Tianxing shook his head, insisting on his exnation. He brought this upon himself; if he hadn’t subconsciously licked Bai Zhiqing’s precious item, she wouldn’t have gone crazy. Her scratching him a few times was already letting him off easy—at least she didn’t go so far as to ughter him.


    He Can didn’t speak. Instead, she looked at Lu Tianxing and sighed deeply. It seemed she would have to wait a while longer for her wish to hold a great-grandchild.


    Bai Qiao Mountain snorted coldly and said, "I don’t care if you fell or if Zhiqing scratched you, in any case, after a year, I want to see my great-grandson; otherwise, don’t me me for being rude, and kicking you both out to fend for yourselves wherever it’s cool."


    "Yes, yes, Grandpa, rest assured! I will definitely work hard and seed as soon as possible."


    Lu Tianxing hastily reassured, nodding like pounding garlic.


    "Brother-inw, go for it, I believe in you, you can definitely win my sister over."


    Bai Weiwei’s eyes twinkled for a moment as she made a cheering gesture towards Lu Tianxing.


    "Tianxing, Grandma believes in you too," He Can also piped in from the sidelines.


    Surrounded by such a supportive crowd, Lu Tianxing felt a sense of eggache; he almost suspected that Bai Zhiqing couldn’t get married off, which is why the whole family was so anxious to get her to have a child and tie him down.


    He just didn’t know what kind of expression Bai Zhiqing would have if she knew her family couldn’t wait to have her bear a child.


    After assuring the seniors that he would win over Bai Zhiqing within the year, almost on the verge of getting down on his knees and swearing an oath, Lu Tianxing finally made a difficult escape from the house.


    By the time Lu Tianxing staggered into thepany, he was already over an hourte. However, to everyone else, Lu Tianxing’s tardiness was nothing new; after all, who would believe that someone who dared to bete on his first day and wasn’t kicked out but was instead promoted to Chairman’s Assistant didn’t have a powerful backer?


    But as he walked along, everyone looked at Lu Tianxing’s face with a mix of surprise and teasing, covering their mouths to snicker.


    Because today, Lu Tianxing was indeed looking odd, with a number of scratch marks on his cheeks, clearly inflicted by a woman’s fingernails. As for men, who would scratch with their fingernails when they could just punch someone? As for pet scratches, have you ever seen a man cuddling pets all day? Those who do that are either, well, gay or cross-dressers.


    Lu Tianxing entered thepany with a dark face, and his newfound notoriety in thepany was confirmed when he cast a harsh nce at the receptionists trying to suppress their giggles. With a resigned sigh, he stepped into the elevator and made his way straight to the Chairman’s office floor, only to be caught red-handed by the little secretary Lan Xin.


    Seeing the scratch marks on Lu Tianxing’s face, Lan Xin barely could contain a bout ofughter, and said gleefully, "Assistant Lu, what happened to your face? It couldn’t be that you got scratched taking liberties with someone, could it, hahaha... I find today to be the happiest day for me, I’m going to buy a lottery ticket after work."


    "Cut the crap, you don’t know anything; I got these this morning when I kissed the Chairman and got scratched by her," Lu Tianxing rolled his eyes at Lan Xin and sighed heavily. "Ah, this is the dire consequence of marrying unwisely. Now you know just how violent our icy Chairman can be, nearly ruining my handsome face."


    "Keep fooling, keep fooling," Lan Xin sneered disdainfully and said, "Like you’re worthy of our Chairman? Why don’t you take a long, hard look at yourself in the mirror? Even Feng Jie would find you ugly."


    "Feng Jie, Feng Jie is a goddess, how could I be worthy of her? She had read countless books by nine and reached the pinnacle at twenty. I’m a simple man, not good enough for her, but I feel we’re quite well-matched, you know. You’re a secretary, I’m an assistant, and there’s a saying, ’Assistant and secretary are a natural pair.’


    "How about it, Little Mei, seeing as you don’t have a boyfriend right now, why don’t you consider me? I’m strong and vigorous, skilled and certified at a professional level ten. Guaranteed to make your nights ecstatic."


    Lu Tianxing patted his chest and let his gaze wander unscrupulously from Lan Xin’s chest down to her legs, murmuring in appreciation. Lan Xin was indeed a beauty, with a pure face, just perfect.
