<h4>Chapter 1717: Chapter 1710: I Want a Child</h4>


    Because the sound of Lu Tianxing opening the door was very soft, Lin Qianru didn’t notice someone hade in and continued to gaze nkly at the scenery outside.


    Lu Tianxing stood in ce, listening to Lin Qianru’s words full of longing and looking at her noticeably thinner figure, took a deep breath, and immediately walked towards Lin Qianru. Then he slowly stretched out his hand and embraced Lin Qianru in his arms.


    "Qianru, I missed you too."


    This sudden change startled Lin Qianru. Her body instinctively twisted, but when she heard that incredibly familiar voice, she quickly turned around. Upon seeing that face she had been dreaming about day and night, she reached out her hand, gently touching Lu Tianxing’s face, and murmured softly, "Is this a dream?"


    Listening to Lin Qianru’s soft murmuring, Lu Tianxing felt a sharp pain like a needle prick in his heart, with an urge to hold this woman tightly until the end of time.


    "This is not a dream; this is reality. I’vee back, Qianru. This time I’m really back."


    Lu Tianxing looked at Lin Qianru with tenderness all over his face, his hands gently lifted, cupping that delicate and beautiful face, and softly said, "Qianru, you’ve lost weight."


    Hearing Lu Tianxing’s tender words again, Lin Qianru’s body trembled slightly once more. She pinched her hand hard, feeling the stinging pain at her nerve endings. An ecstatic expression immediately appeared on her face, and with a slightly trembling voice, she asked, "Tianxing, is it really you back?"


    Her voice trembled with a tinge of disbelief, for she had seen this scene many times before. Every time she opened her eyes again, everything would vanish, leaving her to face a home cold andcking a guiding soul.


    "Yes, I’m truly back." Lu Tianxing said emphatically.


    Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words again and feeling that familiar aura, Lin Qianru finally confirmed that this time it was really Lu Tianxing who had returned and not an illusion.


    "Qianru, you’ve lost weight."


    Lu Tianxing’s voice was filled withpassion.


    Why do women marry men? Simply because that man can give her a sense of security, shield her from the wind and rain, support her world.


    Yet now, Lu Tianxing realized that he seemed unable to even provide these basic things for Lin Qianru, whether for Lin Qianru, Bai Zhiqing, or even women like Sister Rose, he had failed. What he constantly gave them was anxiety, worry, and potential danger always lurking around the corner.


    In a way, Lu Tianxing was not a good husband. Although he could sacrifice his life for these women, he could never provide them with a stable life.


    Surprised by Lu Tianxing’s words, Lin Qianru’s heart was instantly enveloped by a warm current. She felt that all her longing during this time was worthwhile for just this one sentence.


    Sometimes, women are like this. They don’t care how much money their man has or how many cars and houses. To them, sometimes a simple sentence can make them feel unprecedented satisfaction, warmth, and happiness. It can allow them to feel the deep love their man has for them.


    Even if that sentence is a lie, perhaps it’s enough for them.


    "What do you mean I’ve lost weight? I’ve gained quite a bittely and have just started dieting these past few days! Didn’t you notice my figure has be more slender and perfect than before?" Lin Qianru smiled and said while looking at Lu Tianxing.


    Upon hearing Lin Qianru’s words, Lu Tianxing was filled with emotion. He knew her words were just tofort him, so he wouldn’t worry and me himself.


    But the more Lin Qianruforted him this way, the more Lu Tianxing felt he owed her too much—so much that he might never be able to repay it in this lifetime.


    Lu Tianxing took a deep breath, looked at Lin Qianru with tenderness, and said, "Qianru, I’m sorry for making you worry during this time, I...."


    "Shh...."


    Before Lu Tianxing could finish his sentence, Lin Qianru had already gently raised her hand to his lips, stopping him from continuing. She smiled and said, "Tianxing, you don’t have to me yourself. For a woman, sometimes longing is also a kind of happiness. Besides, separation is just for a better reunion, don’t you think?"


    Hearing Lin Qianru’s words, Lu Tianxing, without any hesitation, directly enfolded her in his arms, as if intending to merge her entirely into his own body.


    Lying in Lu Tianxing’s embrace, Lin Qianru quietly listened to the strong and powerful heartbeat. All the confusion of these past days seemed to vanish instantly, leaving only warmth and happiness.


    After a long while, Lin Qianru gently moved in Lu Tianxing’s embrace, looked up at him, and said, "Tianxing, let me go, and I’ll make you a cup of tea, how about that?"


    "Okay."


    Lu Tianxing nodded, did not refuse Lin Qianru’s proposal, and released her, turning to walk to the sofa and sit down.


    A momentter, Lin Qianru came over with a cup of tea for Lu Tianxing, then sat down beside him.


    "Good tea. Did Rose give this to you?"


    Lu Tianxing took a sip of the tea and instantly felt invigorated. If he guessed correctly, this should be Yunwu tea from Rose.


    "Yes, Sister Rose gave it to me a few days ago. She said it’s a very precious tea, and if I feel tired at work, drinking some would make me feel refreshed."


    Looking at Lu Tianxing, Lin Qianru smiled slightly and said, "Tianxing, why did youe back today? Is the matter in Beijing resolved?"


    "Yes, the matters in Beijing have been resolved."


    Lu Tianxing nodded and said, "By the way, Qianru, how have you all been in Modu?"


    "We’re doing well. With Sister Rose protecting us in the shadows and Manman keeping us safe going to and from work daily, what could happen to us?"


    Lin Qianru gentlyughed and, after some hesitation, looked at Lu Tianxing and asked, "Tianxing, how long do you n to stay in Modu this time?"


    Hearing Lin Qianru’s question, Lu Tianxing’s body trembled. He slowly put down his teacup with a hint of bitterness on his face: "Qianru, I’m sorry, I...."


    Seeing the expression on Lu Tianxing’s face, Lin Qianru shook her head, interrupted him, and said, "Tianxing, you don’t need to apologize to me. From the moment I fell in love with you, I have never regretted it. Besides, as a man, of course, you should prioritize your career. I just hope that when you’re tired and worn out, you’ll remember that I’m here waiting for you at home. That’s enough to satisfy my heart."


    "Qianru."


    Hearing these affectionate words, Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but hold Lin Qianru in his arms once again.


    In Lu Tianxing’s arms, Lin Qianru slowly lifted her head. Looking at Lu Tianxing with tenderness in her eyes, she said, "Tianxing, I want to have a child."


    "You want to have a child?"


    Lu Tianxing was slightly taken aback, instinctively bent his head down, and when he saw the slightly pleading look in Lin Qianru’s eyes, his heart trembled for some reason. Instead of speaking, he directly picked her up and strode into the office rest area...
