<strong>Chapter 1147: Chapter 1140: That’s Not Like You at All</strong>


    Faced with Lu Tianxing’spletely indifferent words, Luan Hongyue was utterly stunned, unable toprehend why Lu Tianxing would respond to her so directly.


    It wasn’t until Lu Tianxing drove off that Luan Hongyue came to her senses, stamping her foot fiercely as an uncontroble rage bubbled up inside her. Ever since she was a child, Luan Hongyue had always lived amidst flowers and apuse; countless men in Jiangnan wanted to be with her, but she ignored them. Now, when she showed kindness to a man, this man didn’t even spare her a nce and seemed impatient. Faced with this scene, it was easy to imagine how intensely Luan Hongyue’s displeasure and anger raged inside her.


    “Fine, very fine, Lu Tianxing, Third Young Master of the Lu Family, I’ll remember you. I’m telling you, this isn’t over between us. I’ll make you willingly bow under my skirt of Luan Hongyue and obediently follow my orders.”


    Luan Hongyue bit her teeth hard, filled with a determined gaze. If she could make Lu Tianxing kneel before her, perhaps she could escape her family’s control, shed her weak identity, and be like Wu Zetian, reigning supreme.


    …


    Lu Tianxing had no intention of knowing how Luan Hongyue reacted after he left. He was driving the car on the road while Shen Manjun sat in the passenger seat, looking sideways and staring at Lu Tianxing with intense curiosity and suspicion.


    “Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I’m particrly handsome today and already mesmerized, nning to do something naughty with me at a hotel?” Lu Tianxing sensed Shen Manjun’s gaze, smiled, and said.


    “Get out of here, you never have any decency.”


    Shen Manjun gave Lu Tianxing a sidelong nce and said with curiosity, “I’m just curious. This time, you ignored a beautiful woman. That’s not like you.”


    “Then what do you think my style is?”


    “Of course, it’s seeing a beauty and not being able to resist flirting and taking advantage with your words. Yet, this Luan Hongyue is so pretty and has a hot body; most importantly, she wants to hook up with you. You’re not tempted, which doesn’t fit your style,” Shen Manjun said with a smile.


    “Forget it! I don’t want to mess with such a woman.”


    Lu Tianxing shook his head. Although he liked women, it didn’t mean he would flirt with every woman. Some women are like poisonous snakes; getting involved could be fatal.


    “Why do you say that?” Shen Manjun looked at Lu Tianxing curiously.


    Lu Tianxing took a deep breath and said, “This woman is too scheming and likes to manipte others. She’s not approaching me for me; she’s after the Lu Family. She thinks that by controlling me, she can control the Lu Family. It’s best to stay away from such women. I don’t want a woman by my side who calctes against me every day.”


    “You’re right.”


    Shen Manjun nodded, nced around, and said, “Lu Tianxing, take me back to the hotel!”


    “Back to the hotel? Didn’t you say you’d like to eat somewhere else and spend some more time together?”


    “No need. I’m not like those little girls who need to stick together all day. Besides, we’ve been out for a long time. If that little girl Qiaoqiao finds out, who knows what trouble she’ll stir up.” Shen Manjun shook her head and said.


    “What are you afraid of? Does that girl Qiaoqiao dare to rebel? If she dares, I’ll beat her, show her the power of her stepfather.”


    “Go y by yourself! Who’s her stepfather!” Shen Manjun’s pretty face turned slightly red as she pped Lu Tianxing.


    “Hehe, you’re right. I haven’t had you yet, so I’m not your man. Don’t you think I should find a time to have you, to show you the power of my Golden Hurricane?” Lu Tianxing smiled at Shen Manjun.


    At this moment, Shen Manjun’s body trembled slightly, a blush appearing on her pretty face, not because of Lu Tianxing’s words but because while he was speaking, his palm fell directly on her thigh, seemingly intending to go further, causing Shen Manjun to blush instantly.


    “Lu Tianxing, you…” Shen Manjun felt as if countless ants were crawling in her heart, biting her lip as she spoke.


    “Hehe, it’s nothing, just collecting a little interest in advance.”


    Looking at Shen Manjun, Lu Tianxingughed heartily but made no other moves, only cing his hand on her smooth, silky thigh.


    …


    Meanwhile, in the backyard of the Lu Family, after having lunch, Old Sir Lu and Bai Zhiqing leisurely yed chess in a small pavilion by the pond.


    “Old, old, I lost again. Zhiqing, your chess skills are truly superior. Even I almost fell for your traps without realizing it, leaving no room for aeback.”


    Old Sir Lu put the chess piece in his hand down next to the chessboard, sighed, and said, “It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this rxed. Zhiqing, thank you for ying chess with this old man today.”


    Bai Zhiqingughed lightly and said, “Grandpa, you’re joking. I should apany you. If you don’t mind, you cane to Modu to find me. I’ll y chess with you every day, taking you around so you won’t get bored.”


    “Sure, I’d love to go out for a change. Just don’t consider this troublesome old man a bother,” Old Sir Lu responded with a smile. Instead of watching the Lu Family’s internal struggles, it would be better to go out for a change.


    “Of course not! I’d be more than happy! My grandpa would surely be delighted if he knew you wereing to Modu.


    A hint of a smile appeared on Bai Zhiqing’s face.


    Upon hearing this, Old Sir Lu pursed his lips and said, “Oh,e on! Given your grandpa’s fiery temper, it’d be good if he didn’t meet me with a gun.”


    “Grandpa, you know my grandpa? Didn’t you just meet him yesterday?” Bai Zhiqing looked at Old Sir Lu curiously, knowing her grandpa’s temper wasmon knowledge. But how did Old Sir Lu know?


    “Who doesn’t know your grandpa’s name?”


    Old Sir Lu pursed his lips and said, “I’ve never met your grandpa, but I’ve heard of his name. Back in the day, he was known as Bai Fengzi, a vtile temper who’d flip out at any disagreement. And he acted as if he had nothing to lose. If he hadn’t mellowed with age, I suspect he would have stormed into the Lu Family with a gunst night. Do you believe it?”


    “Grandpa, my grandpa’s temper can’t be that fiery!”


    Bai Zhiqingughed awkwardly.


    “Don’t try to defend him.”


    Old Sir Lu pursed his lips, looking at Bai Zhiqing, and said, “Zhiqing, can you tell me how you and Tianxing met?”
