<h4>Chapter 1506: Chapter 1499: Pretending to Be a Boyfriend?</h4>


    "Minister Xue, what do you actually want? I already said I didn’t do it on purpose. If you want revenge, then go ahead! Whatever I did to you just now, feel free to return it all. I don’t care."


    As he spoke, Lu Tianxing started unbuttoning his shirt, seemingly intending to act on his words.


    "Lu Tianxing, stop it right now, or don’t me me for being impolite..."


    Watching Lu Tianxing’s deliberate actions, Xue Man’s pretty face immediately turned red. This bastard is indeed a rogue! Is it the same concept for a woman to be watched and a man to be watched?


    A man can wash up and be as good as new, but can a woman wash and be brand new?


    Taking a deep breath, Xue Man looked at Lu Tianxing and said, "You can make sure I don’t tell Zhiqing, but I have one condition."


    "Condition?"


    Upon hearing Xue Man’s words, Lu Tianxing immediately stopped what he was doing. Then, as if reminded of something, he said in horror, "Minister Xue, you’re not into being a masochist, are you? That’s impossible. I’m telling you, I only perform; I don’t sell my body. I’m absolutely not into that kind of stuff."


    Then, Lu Tianxing added, "If Minister Xue is into that kind of thing, you can y alone, or I can pay some handsome gigolos to apany you. Rest assured, they’ll be beefy hunks."


    Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Xue Man was momentarily stunned, then grabbed a teacup from the table and hurled it fiercely at Lu Tianxing, gritting her teeth as she said, "Lu Tianxing, you shameless jerk! Say one more word, and I’ll rip your mouth apart."


    Watching the flying teacup, Lu Tianxingughed lightly, caught the cup with his arm, and casually ced it back on the table: "Minister Xue, don’t be angry, don’t be angry. Angry women age faster. You wouldn’t want to grow old before your time, right?"


    "You..."


    Xue Man felt a surge of anger inside upon hearing this. If she weren’t afraid of losing to Lu Tianxing, this bastard, she’d really want to p him to death.


    "I’m not talking about that matter. There’s something I need your help with." Xue Man took several deep breaths, forcing down her urge to tear Lu Tianxing into pieces, and began to speak again.


    "Phew, scared me to death."


    Upon hearing these words, Lu Tianxing patted his chest and said, "Minister Xue, so you wanted my help? But you didn’t have to make such a big deal out of it! Directly tell me what you need, and that’s it. I thought you had some special fetish, deliberately changing clothes without closing the door!"


    "Lu Tianxing..."


    Xue Man’s face instantly turned somewhat ashen; she looked as if she wished she could tear Lu Tianxing into pieces right then.


    Seeing Xue Man’s almost explosive expression, Lu Tianxing knew he couldn’t tease her any further; otherwise, Xue Man might indeed go berserk. Even though she wouldn’t be able to beat him, bullying a woman would not look good, and with many tongues wagging, who knows what incredible rumors might spread.


    "Minister Xue, what exactly do you need my help with? As long as I can do it, I won’t hesitate, even if it means climbing mountains of swords or plunging into seas of mes." Lu Tianxing, suddenly turning serious, looked soberly at Xue Man and said.


    "Lu Tianxing, you said it yourself, so don’t you dare go back on your word." Xue Man stared intently at Lu Tianxing and slowly spoke.


    Feeling Xue Man’s gaze, Lu Tianxing shivered instinctively and said somewhat apprehensively, "Minister Xue, I... I tell you, I only perform; I don’t sell my body. If it’s anything involving selling my body, I absolutely refuse to do it."


    "Get lost, even if you were offered to me, I’d find it embarrassing."


    Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Xue Man shot him a disdainful look and slowly said, "I want you to pretend to be my boyfriend..."


    "What?"


    Xue Man’s words were cut off by Lu Tianxing, who interrupted with a look of shock and said, "Minister Xue, what did you say? You want me to pretend to be your boyfriend? Is someone asking you out on a blind date? Come on, they wouldn’t be afraid of you breaking their legs."


    Seeing Lu Tianxing’s surprised expression, Xue Man’s face darkened again, and she heavily mmed her hand on the desk: "What did you say? Try saying that again."


    "I didn’t say anything. I meant, if someone gets to go on a blind date with a beauty like Minister Xue—beautiful like a flower and with a hot figure—it’s like their ancestors are blessing them; it’s a fortune cultivated over eight lifetimes."


    Feeling Xue Man’s murderous aura, Lu Tianxing chuckled nervously and said, "I’m just curious. As far as I recall, Auntie is pretty open-minded; she wouldn’t force you to go on blind dates, right? Why are you asking me to pretend to be your boyfriend now?"


    "Who says pretending to be a boyfriend has to involve a blind date?"


    "Isn’t it? But it’s not even New Year now; there’s no need to rent a boyfriend to take home for the holidays."


    "I’m attending a ss reunion, and there’s someone there I really don’t get along with. To avoid unnecessary trouble, I’m asking you to pretend to be my boyfriend." Xue Man exined directly to Lu Tianxing.


    "ss reunion?"


    Lu Tianxing was slightly taken aback by Xue Man’s words and eximed, "Minister Xue, I’ve only ever heard of ssmates having dinner, drinking, and showing off their wealth. I’ve never heard of a reunion where they show off their boyfriends. Your ss reunion is a bit too entric, isn’t it!"


    "None of your business."


    Xue Man gave Lu Tianxing an annoyed look and said, "Lu Tianxing, I’m just asking you one thing right now: will you help me or not? If you refuse, I’ll go find Zhiqing and tell her you spanked me and tried to molest me."


    "Damn."


    Upon hearing this, Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but curse. Did he really have any other choice?


    "I’ll help, of course I’ll help. Just tell me the time, and I’lle find you then."


    "Today at 6:30 in the evening, I’ll be waiting for you at the entrance after work."


    "No problem."


    Lu Tianxing nodded and said, "Minister Xue, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now."


    With that, Lu Tianxing stood up and headed outside.


    "Lu Tianxing, you..."


    Xue Man looked at Lu Tianxing’s back, opened her mouth, wanting to say something.


    "Minister Xue, I know what you want to say, but I want to tell you, the two of us really aren’tpatible. I don’t like ying with these heavy tastes."


    Xue Man was stunned, then her beautiful face turned ashen, and she screamed in frustration, "Lu Tianxing, I’m going to kill you."


    Seeing that Xue Man was about to explode again, Lu Tianxing quickly opened the door and went out.


    "Lu Tianxing, you’re dead. You better pray you never fall into my hands in the future, or I’ll make sure you die without a ce to be buried."


    Xue Man’s furious roars echoed from the office.


    Hearing Xue Man’s roars from the office, a slight smirk appeared on Lu Tianxing’s lips. He rubbed his arms as if savoring the sensation from before. He had to admit, those who exercise often have such good figures, it stirred up some bold thoughts in his mind.


    After wandering around Bai’s Group, bragging for a bit with his old friend Huang Can, and imparting some skills on how to pick up girls, Lu Tianxing hummed a tune as he walked towards the elevator.


    "Master Lu."


    Just as he was waiting for the elevator, Lu Tianxing suddenly heard a pleasant voice ring in his ear. He instinctively turned his head and saw a beautiful silhouette appear before him, and he was momentarily stunned.


    Because the person wasn’t anyone else but Luan Hongyue.


    At this moment, Luan Hongyue no longer had that worldly, dusty aura from Jiangnan. Instead, she emitted an aura of a strong woman, her entire being radiating youth, beauty, and confidence. Even familiar people here wouldn’t believe she was once the owner of Jiangnan Red People Club if they didn’t see her face.


    Today, Luan Hongyue was dressed in a gray business suit, which entuated her curvaceous figure. The gray skirt wasn’t too short, about knee-length, but paired with ck stockings and an aura of undeniable maturity, it gave off an incredibly attractive vibe.


    Luan Hongyue stood there charmingly, her beautiful autumn eyes falling on Lu Tianxing, containing an undeniable excitement and a faint, almost imperceptible affection. It was this man who shattered her world of darkness and brought her sunlight and warmth.


    During this period, Luan Hongyue felt she was truly alive, no longer a lifeless corpse, and it had been the happiest time of her life.


    Seeing Luan Hongyue, Lu Tianxing was also momentarily taken aback, somewhat surprised. He realized the Luan Hongyue before him seemed like a different person,pletely different from how she was in Jiangnan, though he couldn’t quite pinpoint what exactly had changed. He just felt she had be sunnier and more confident.


    "Master Lu, why are you staring at Hongyue like that? Is there something on Hongyue’s face?"


    While Lu Tianxing was checking out Luan Hongyue, a coquettish voice rang in his ear, bringing him back to his senses.


    Looking at the now close Luan Hongyue, Lu Tianxing took a deep breath, and a faint fragrance filled his senses, stirring something within him. Lu Tianxing knew this wasn’t the scent of perfume but Luan Hongyue’s own natural fragrance.


    "No wonder countless prodigal sons in Jiangnan were infatuated with this woman, her charm is simply irresistible."


    Lu Tianxing internally praised her, smiled, and said, "Of course, I was admiring a beautiful woman. Miss Luan, don’t you think you’re a beauty?"
