<h4>Chapter 1544: Chapter 1537: Drinking</h4>


    Listening to Xue Bing’s calm words, Lu Tianxing was rendered speechless momentarily. It seemed like tonight, this woman was determined to make him drink with her. But Lu Tianxing didn’t say anything further. He could sense that Xue Bing’s mood wasn’t great right now. When dealing with a woman who’s in a bad mood, it’s best not to provoke her, as such a woman is definitely an unreasonable presence at times like these.


    Besides, drinking with a beautiful woman doesn’t hurt him in the end, so why not go?


    Xue Bing shot Lu Tianxing a nce and simrly said no more. Driving her imposing Dongfeng Warrior, she sped off on the road under the astonished eyes of all the other drivers.


    After about half an hour, Lu Tianxing and Xue Bing arrived directly at a bar.


    Although it was just past seven in the evening, the atmosphere inside the bar was already exceedingly lively. Loud heavy metal music was reverberating throughout, igniting a me in the crowd’s hearts, and intensely stimting the emotional release of both the men and women within, allowing them to let out all the day’s work-rted suppression.


    After Lu Tianxing and Xue Bing entered the bar, their eyes scanned the surroundings, their expressions unchanged. Lu Tianxingpletely ignored the environment around him—though he didn’t like heavy music or this decadent lifestyle, he couldn’t dictate others’ lives.


    As for Xue Bing, being a police officer, she was already used to this. After all, there were times when catching criminals or going undercover here to wait for the appearance of suspects wasmonce.


    Their expressions remained unchanged as they walked directly to the bar.


    "Officer Xue, why do you have time toe here today? I’ve been very well-behavedtely, haven’t done anything. Plus, as you once told me, I’ve found a stable job and beenpletely honest." A young man with earrings and dyed yellow hair inside the bar turned a bit pale upon seeing Xue Binge over. His voice carried a hint of nervousness; clearly, he’d been taught a harsh lesson by her before.


    "Huang Mao, do you really think I have the leisure toe find trouble with you all day? I’ve told you before to be good and honest. With your bartending skills, finding a stable job at Round Round is much better for you than hanging out on the streets. Cut the nonsense, give me a Rainbow Wine. Lu Tianxing, what would you like to drink?"


    Xue Bing waved at Huang Mao and sat directly at the bar, then turned her gaze to Lu Tianxing.


    "Get me a tequ."


    Lu Tianxing ordered a drink and directly sat by Xue Bing: "Officer Xue, are we really just drinking tonight? Aren’t we gonna eat? I feel like eating is better."


    "Eat what?"


    Xue Bing, hearing this, said with a hint of disdain in her beautiful eyes: "I mean Lu Tianxing, are you even a man? Drinking with a beauty and you keep making excuses. Aren’t you hoping I get drunk and then... do something with me?"


    Hearing Xue Bing’s bold words, a faint bitter smile appeared on Lu Tianxing’s face. He didn’t mind hooking up with a beauty; after all, if both parties agree, there’s nothing wrong with it. But key is he needs to have the guts—if something happens with Xue Bing, he can almost foresee how dark his future life will be.


    Xue Bing nced at Lu Tianxing, said nothing more, and looked down at the decorations on the bar, lost in thought.


    In just a moment, the previous bartender Huang Mao ced the prepared Rainbow Wine and tequ before Xue Bing and Lu Tianxing, then carefully nced at Xue Bing, wisely said not a word, and left.


    "Lu Tianxing, let’s drink."


    Xue Bing raised a cup, lifted a toast to Lu Tianxing.


    Lu Tianxing disyed a bitter smile but said nothing, raising his ss, clinked it with Xue Bing’s, and took a sip.


    Seeing Lu Tianxing’s actions, Xue Bing said nothing as well. She directly raised her ss and emptied the entire drink in one go.


    Lu Tianxing was a bit dumbfounded watching Xue Bing’s actions, knowing full well her drinking capacity. Now with such a bold action, was Xue Bing really nning to give him a chance after drinking?


    With a cup of Rainbow Wine down, Xue Bing’splexion turned rosy, bringing about a unique allure.


    She casually ced the ss on the bar and waved at Huang Mao not far away, saying: "This drink is not satisfying at all, doesn’t taste of alcohol. Give me a tequ too."


    Listening to Xue Bing’s words, Lu Tianxing was slightly stunned; was this woman really nning on getting drunk tonight? You know tequ isn’t Rainbow Wine. With Xue Man’s drinking, even martial artists won’t withstand it; a few drinks down, Xue Man might not get up till tomorrow morning.


    "Officer Xue, if you have something on your mind, you could totally share it. Drinking harms the body; drinking like this will eventually ruin your health." Lu Tianxing looked at Xue Bing and said.


    "What could I have on my mind? You think everyone wants like you, worrying about this woman and that woman every day. You’re such a lecher, juggling several rtionships, and one day you’ll capsize, drowning in the river."


    Hearing these words, Xue Bing unhappily rolled her eyes at Lu Tianxing, but a trace of peculiar emotion surged within her heart.


    For some reason, when she felt down today and wanted someone to talk to, the first person she thought of wasn’t her own sister, but Lu Tianxing. She wanted Lu Tianxing to apany her, let her drink till she was done, allow her to vent her frustrations, even knowing that a woman drunk before a man might have some consequences, she had no regrets.


    Perhaps this is what liking means!


    Looking at Lu Tianxing’s face, which bore a hint of concern, a thought shed through Xue Bing’s mind, and then her body trembled with intense stirrings emerging from her heart, impossible to suppress. Her gaze toward Lu Tianxing carried a hint of bewilderment as the stirrings repressed in her heart at once surged forth like a tide.


    She didn’t know at which point Lu Tianxing had made an impression in her heart, just knew it had be more embedded over time—Lu Tianxing’s impression seemed to have rooted deep in her heart inexplicably and emerged till it couldn’te out.


    Perhaps the start of this impression was their first meeting. Back then, Lu Tianxing was like some rogue, although he had saved her, he also stole her first kiss, filling her with anger and swearing to bring this scoundrel to justice. But when Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing encountered assassins, speeding along the highway and sessfully escaping danger, her will to arrest Lu Tianxing grew, along with a desire to understand this man’s past. Later, when it was revealed on the outside that Lu Tianxing was Bai Zhiqing’s husband, her curiosity deepened—curiosity about who this man was, possessing such strength and conquering Bai Zhiqing to be her man.


    Eventer on, Lu Tianxing unexpectedly turned into the third young master of the Lu Family, stirring up a storm in Xue Bing’s heart. Especially after Xue Bing joined the Yanhuang Group, learning of Lu Tianxing’s identity, her heart was both shocked and shaken. Seemingly rogue and shameless, Lu Tianxing turned out to be the military knife once feared by countless people, a soldier with a straight backbone who ultimately abandoned the identity and went far away due to conspiracies.


    At that moment, Xue Bing suddenly realized she had Lu Tianxing’s shadow in her heart. She didn’t know when this shadow emerged, only knew it left an indelible impression she couldn’t shake off.


    With aplex expression, Xue Bing gazed at Lu Tianxing, her beautiful pupils flickering with a subtle figure. Her heart let out a sigh; she knew full well Lu Tianxing was a lecher, surrounded by more than one woman. But for some reason, she couldn’t be cruel to Lu Tianxing, even harboring a secret expectation about whether to have something happen with Lu Tianxing.


    "Officer Xue, why aren’t you saying anything? Don’t worry, I swim well; even if the boat capsizes and falls into the river, I won’t drown. But Officer Xue, you seem close to being a leftover woman now!" Unaware of Xue Bing’s thoughts, Lu Tianxing looked at her and grinned.


    "What’s wrong with liking being a leftover woman? What use are you men? Just a stick, isn’t it? Humph, the grand aunt can buy online, any size imaginable, all bigger than yours." Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Xue Bing suddenly regained herposure, pressed down the stirrings in her heart, looked at him coldly with augh.


    Lu Tianxing, hearing Xue Bing’s bold words, suddenly felt embarrassed and speechlessly.


    At this moment, the bartender Huang Mao returned and ced a freshly prepared tequ in front of Xue Bing.


    "Come on, let’s toast."


    Xue Bing directly lifted her ss, toasted at Lu Tianxing, didn’t give him a chance to speak, lifted the ss, and downed it in one go.
