<h4>Chapter 413: Chapter 411 Time, keep going</h4>


    Returning from Bai Zhiqing’s room, Lu Tianxing plopped down onto the adjacent sofa and casually lit a cigarette for himself, a trace of a bitter smile ying at the corners of his mouth. He was utterly stumped by Bai Zhiqing’s request.


    Pursuing Bai Zhiqing, making her fall in love with him, just how easy could that be? Although Bai Zhiqing had never really been in love and could be considered aplete novice in romance, she had been battling it out in the business world for so many years and was far from the naive young girl just entering society. Phrases like ’budding affection’ were utterly unfit for her. To put it bluntly, Bai Zhiqing was like a seasoned dough stick that had been rolled in the oil pan for countless years, having seen everything and experienced everything; she was not the kind of woman who would give her all for a simple romantic gesture.


    Furthermore, Bai Zhiqing was not Lin Qianru, who, when in love, would dare to express it aloud. Bai Zhiqing was a woman with a very strong inner core, who, even in the unlikely event that she liked a man, would probably find it very hard to vocalize it and would rather express it in her unique way.


    "Sigh, this is difficult. Pursuing a strong-willed woman is even harder than reaching the heavens," he said.


    Lu Tianxing took a deep drag of his strong cigarette, and a hint of gloom appeared on his face through the smoke.


    Bai Zhiqing had long been tempered by reality, and ordinary romantic gestures could hardly move her. Otherwise, she would have been taken a long time ago, not waiting for him to take the helm alone. To pry open Bai Zhiqing’s heart was definitely not an easy task.


    "Sigh, forget it, don’t think about it. She’s already yours. With time, aren’t you afraid that you won’t win her over? Don’t forget, there’s an even more important matter tonight. The pursuit of Zhiqing can wait."


    ncing at the night sky outside, Lu Tianxing stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, his face breaking into a lecherous smile; he well remembered the promise Lin Qianru had made to him in the car.


    Thinking of this, Lu Tianxing felt a surge of impulse, wishing time would hasten so he could aplish what he desired.


    "Time, you better hurry up," he muttered, grabbing a towel and heading straight for the shower, deciding to take a bath first.


    In less than five minutes, Lu Tianxing emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel.


    Soon after, Lu Tianxing walked out of the bathroom wearing just a pair of underwear.


    Lu Tianxing did not immediately head to Lin Qianru’s room; after all, even with all his boldness, he dared not venture out at this time. Who knew if he might run into Bai Zhiqing, or if Bai Zhiqing were nning to visit Lin Qianru’s room?


    Sitting on the sofa, Lu Tianxing’s gaze quietly drifted outside the window, lost in thought.


    About an hourter, his eyes suddenly darted; he had heard Bai Zhiqing in the adjacent room apparently fall asleep, her breathing bing steady. A smile immediately appeared on his face; it was time.


    Lu Tianxing cautiously opened the door and, like a thief, poked his head out to scan the surroundings before tiptoeing towards Lin Qianru’s room.


    "No way! This girl actually locked the door," he eximed.


    Grasping the doorknob, he gently turned it; the doorknob stayed immobile, not budging an inch. Lu Tianxing’s face was immediately covered in ck lines, thinking Lin Qianru was really nning to shut him out.


    "You little minx, do you think you can escape by doing this? You underestimate me too much. Tonight, I’ve set my sights on you," he smirked.


    Lu Tianxing hehe’d with a smile, his True Qi coalescing into a needle and gently prodding at the keyhole. With a ’click,’ the door utched itself open.


    "Hehe, good thing I learned how to pick locks back in the day, otherwise you really would have gotten away tonight, gaga, prepare for your punishment."


    Lu Tianxingughed smugly, grateful from the bottom of his heart for the hotel, thankful that the room didn’t have an electronic lock, which would have made things much moreplicated.


    "How... how did you get in? Didn’t I lock the main door?" eximed Lin Qianru.


    At this moment, Lin Qianru had not been sleeping; she sat at her desk, scrutinizingpany documents. When she saw Lu Tianxing open the door from outside and walk in, her face instantly revealed an incredulous expression.


    How on earth did Lu Tianxing get in? Hadn’t she locked the door?


    "Hehe, you think too little of me. How could a mere door stop me?" said Lu Tianxing,ughing heartily, "Qianru, see howte it’s getting. Isn’t it time to fulfill what you promised me?"


    Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Lin Yafei’s pretty face couldn’t help but blush, yet she remained silent, as if tacitly consenting to what Lu Tianxing said.


    Lu Tianxing chuckled and strode over to Lin Yafei confidently.
