<h4>Chapter 284: Chapter 282 Be Careful Not to Catch a Cold (3rd Update)</h4>


    "It’s nothing."


    Bai Zhiqing blinked her eyes and said with a smile, "I just wanted to thank you for helping me out today. Plus, I’m not used to owing anyone anything. Remember how I lost the betst time? So, I’ve decided to follow through on our wager."


    Lu Tianxing’s eyes brightened, "Wife, are you serious?"


    "Of course I’m serious. Don’t you like it? If not, you can choose another condition!"


    "No need to change, I like this one a lot. Wife, there’s no day like today, so let’s start now, especially since the old man and the others aren’t home. We’ll make the most of our time. How about we prepare the bridal room, so they can’t nag us all day long?"


    Lu Tianxing rubbed his fingers together, his face lecherously scanning Bai Zhiqing’s curvaceous and graceful body. Tonight was definitely the perfect opportunity; the patriarch wasn’t around, and the devilish little aunt was gone, so there was no need to fear any disruptions. They could have fun until dawn without any problems.


    "Okay, but you’ll have to wait for me downstairs. I’ll go upstairs to get ready."


    Bai Zhiqing gave a coquettish smile and lightly tapped Lu Tianxing’s chest with her cool fingertips, then turned and headed toward the upstairs bedroom.


    Lu Tianxing watched as Bai Zhiqing swayed her hips like a water snake, his gaze lingering on her, admiring the sway of her perky rear. His heart fluttered, wondering if Bai Zhiqing had trulye around and decided to use the bet as a pretense to consummate their marriage?


    Well, it’s only natural for a woman to be a bit shy.


    "Hehe, seems like my charm is indeed unmatched. Even the ice queen can’t escape the palm of my hand. Looks like tonight will end up being one harmonious and fulfilling grand finale."


    Lu Tianxing chuckled to himself, his heart ame with anticipation, imagining Bai Zhiqing’s perfect body. He wondered how the normal Bai Zhiqing would behave this time – would she be gentle, passionate as fire, or bashfully shy?


    "No matter if you’re bashful or whatever else, I promise to make it an unforgettable experience for you."


    Lu Tianxing touched his chin, chortled, and plunked down on the sofa, lighting up a cigarette for himself.


    After waiting nearly fifteen minutes downstairs, Lu Tianxing finally heard a faint call from upstairs. If not for his keen hearing, he probably wouldn’t have caught it.


    Hearing that, Lu Tianxing could no longer suppress the palpitations deep within his heart. He chuckled, darting up to the second floor and gently knocked on the door.


    Inside the bedroom, Bai Zhiqing was reclining on the bed in a lounging pose. By now, she had changed into a ck, somewhat transparent nightgown. The gown had slipped down a bit, revealing an exquisite corbone, while her snow-white legs glimmered faintly under the light, like a beautiful serpent lying on the bed.


    In that moment, Bai Zhiqing was the epitome of a seductive temptress, irresistibly poisonous, yet beckoning one closer.


    Hearing the knock, Bai Zhiqing, supporting her face with one hand, called out softly towards the door, "The door is unlocked,e in!"


    Lu Tianxing didn’t hesitate. He pushed the door open and walked in.


    The next moment, Lu Tianxing stopped in his tracks, his pupils dted, staring in astonishment at the provocative pose of Bai Zhiqing.


    Now, Bai Zhiqing was dressed in a ck nightgown, her delicate body temptingly visible but still elusive.


    Lu Tianxing felt a tickle in his nose, a surge of the desire to have a nosebleed, as the mes within him ignited instantly.


    At this moment, Bai Zhiqing was nowhere near the icy arrogance she exuded during the day; she waspletely like a devastatingly beautiful enchantress. Her partially visible body created an immense visual impact, making it so that once someone set their eyes upon her, they were unable to look away.


    Bai Zhiqing’s pretty face was slightly flushed. This was the first time she was really baring her body in front of a man. Seeing Lu Tianxing’s captivated gaze, pride surged uncontrobly in Bai Zhiqing’s heart. So, she was still attractive, and this bastard actually had a decent appreciation for beauty.


    "Hubby, do I look beautiful?"


    Bai Zhiqing flirtatiously tossed her hair, her beautiful phoenix eyes clear and distinct, shimmering like water as they gently flickered, seemingly hinting at something to Lu Tianxing. Her slender legs crossed over each other, her fingers lightly tracing up and down her legs.


    Lu Tianxing was dumbstruck as he watched Bai Zhiqing’s performance, feeling as though thousands of wild animals were rampaging through his heart. Since when had the ice queen be so enchantingly seductive?


    Lu Tianxing rubbed his eyes vigorously, finding it hard to believe everything he was seeing, yet this scene was indeed unfolding right before him.


    Lu Tianxing swallowed hard and asked Bai Zhiqing carefully, "Wife, are you sure about this?"


    "Mhm! I’ve thought it over. Grandpa won’t allow me to divorce you, and you’ve saved my life several times, so I’ve decided to give myself fully to you."


    Bai Zhiqing nodded shyly, speaking softly, "But you have to be gentle, I’m a bit scared..."


    "I’m a bit scared..."


    Those few words were like a bucket of gasoline thrown onto a me, causing the fire deep inside Lu Tianxing to suddenly ze furiously. Faced with such a fervent invitation from a beautiful woman, any man who could resist at that moment wouldn’t be a man at all.


    Lu Tianxing was certainly a man, and a very virile one at that, who couldn’t contain himself.


    At this moment, Lu Tianxing was more determined than ever as he strode toward Bai Zhiqing. His eyes roamed over the focal points of her body, contemting where to start.


    Hmm!


    What was that!


    Suddenly, Lu Tianxing paused mid-step because he saw something shimmering with a cold light underneath Bai Zhiqing’s pillow—a pair of exceedingly sharp scissors.


    This discovery sent a chill through Lu Tianxing’s entire body, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over the mes in his heart,pletely extinguishing it. Damn it, he knew there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Good thing he was vignt and discovered it early, otherwise he might have had to bid farewell to his manhood.


    "Wife, you don’t need to seduce me. As a man standing tall and upright, I would never take advantage of people in distress. What you’re doing is simply to repay me for saving your life, to fulfill our agreement, but you’re underestimating me, Lu Tianxing. Do you think I am the kind of viin who takes advantage of people’s vulnerabilities? I would definitely not touch you before you fall in love with me."


    Lu Tianxing stood still, his expression serious and impassioned as he spoke, "I want a willing union with you in marriage, not because of some so-called agreement. Otherwise, how would I be any different from a beast? You underestimate my moral integrity."


    Lu Tianxing, righteous and eloquent, disyed an image of integrity that left Bai Zhiqing stunned, unable to recover for a moment. Lu Tianxing had almost taken the bait just now, so why did he suddenly change his attitude? Could it be that she had truly misunderstood him before?


    Lu Tianxing’s eyes shone as he looked at Bai Zhiqing and said, "Wife, cover yourself with the nket. Though it’s summer, it gets a bit cool at night, be careful not to catch a cold. If there’s nothing else, I’ll step outside."


    With that, Lu Tianxing prepared to turn around and walk away.
