<h4>Chapter 1790: Chapter 1783: The Complicated Qiu Yingrong</h4>


    "Tianxing, you’re back."


    "Yes, I’m back."


    Just nning to enter the room, Lu Tianxing heard the voices, and immediately saw Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru looking at him with delightful expressions. He paused slightly, then softly said, "Why are you two still awake?"


    "Zhiqing was worried you might encounter some trouble outside and couldn’t sleep, so she simply pulled me along to wait for you here," Lin Qianru said to Lu Tianxing with a light smile.


    Upon hearing Lin Qianru’s words, Bai Zhiqing rolled her eyes at Lin Qianru and said, "Qianru, you were the one worried about him, what do you mean I pulled you along? Clearly, you pulled me along to wait for him, alright? I wouldn’t worry about that scoundrel!"


    Looking at Bai Zhiqing’s proud expression, and seeing the worry on Lin Qiuyun’s face, Lu Tianxing broke into a bright smile, feeling content with life. Suddenly grateful for being forced out of the Western World by those old folks due to the Four Symbols Ring, were it not for them, he might never have met these women worth protecting for a lifetime.


    "Ladies, Qianru, it’s gettingte, let’s wash up and sleep!" Lu Tianxing chuckled mischievously.


    "In your dreams."


    "Dream on."


    After hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, both Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru’s faces flushed with blush, gave Lu Tianxing a nce, then immediately turned to head to their respective rooms, shutting the door with a bang.


    Lu Tianxing stood where he was, watching this scene, but instead of feeling dejected, he wore a bright smile. If he wasn’t mistaken, neither Bai Zhiqing nor Lin Qianru locked their doors, so should he have a big sleepover tonight, or perhaps engage in a little sneaky romance?


    ...


    Time flies like the white horse in a glimpse, always quietly passing by. In the blink of an eye, three days had gone by.


    During these three days, Lu Tianxing lived quitefortably. Although he couldn’t have Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru serve him together, there was considerable progress. At least now he could savor little advantages from the two women simultaneously, taking them out while enjoying the radiant smiles on their faces, he felt a deep-seated happiness.


    The only thorn for Lu Tianxing was Qiu Yingrong.


    In these three days, Qiu Yingrong came to find him once, but of course, not willingly, but because her daughter Lingling relentlessly pestered her, leaving no choice but toe over.


    Though Qiu Yingrong brought Lingling to see Lu Tianxing, she barely spoke with him, limiting conversations to mere greetings and goodbyes. It’s not that Qiu Yingrong didn’t want to talk to Lu Tianxing, nor did she bear a grudge for past events; rather, she simply didn’t know how to face Lu Tianxing.


    After all, Lu Tianxing had her body, and they had a close encounter, although not by his volition, it was undeniably an unchangeable fact.


    More importantly, ever since the intimate moment with Lu Tianxing, Qiu Yingrong felt different, every night after putting Lingling to sleep, looking at the cold room, her mind couldn’t help but rey moments from Jingxin Tea House, making her crave another domineering conquest from Lu Tianxing.


    No doubt, "thirty like a wolf, forty like a tiger" is spot on, a woman’s desires once unleashed be overwhelming, especially since Qiu Yingrong is a widow.


    After her husband’s unexpected death, Qiu Yingrong hadn’t had intimate contact with any man; without the encounter with Lu Tianxing, she might have suppressed her urges, but now having tasted desire again, it’s like a riverbank burst, unstoppable, coupled with her nearing thirty, it’s prime time for desires, an irresistible force.


    Qiu Yingrong understood why she felt this way, yet felt helpless.


    ming Lu Tianxing?


    These events weren’t his fault; had it not been for him rescuing her, she would’ve been ruined by Zhang Zefeng.


    ming Zhang Zefeng?


    But what’s the use? Even if he were torn apart, it doesn’t rewind time.


    Clearly, the world offers no time travel or regret pills, to restrain her relentless urges, Qiu Yingrong chose to ignore Lu Tianxing, hoping this could suppress her craving, she already erred once, she didn’t want a second mistake.


    She isn’t a promiscuous woman; if she were, with her looks, even married and having a child, suitors would line up at her door; yet she has been raising her daughter alone.


    Currently, Qiu Yingrong harborsplex feelings towards Lu Tianxing, an indescribable mix.


    At times she even wondered, if Lu Tianxing wasn’t married, had the tea house incident not urred, she might have kept an ambiguous intimate rtionship with him, he’s the first man Lingling admired as a father.


    But now Lu Tianxing is married, his wife is none other than Modu’s business goddess Bai Zhiqing, along with Lin Qianru. This stirred a bit of inferiority in her, for she, unlike Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru, had given herself entirely to Lu Tianxing.


    For Qiu Yingrong’splex thoughts, Lu Tianxing remained oblivious, feeling relief when she avoided him, unsure how to face her.


    If their intimate encounter was mutual, he’d feel no guilt, but given the circumstances, any woman would find it hard to ept.


    Despite the relief, Lu Tianxing felt uneasy upon noticing her lost in thought, her inner emotions, though well hidden, were faintly visible.


    This left Lu Tianxing helpless, unsure what to do as he is no longer the solitary ’Judge’, he now has loved ones, everything he does must consider Bai Zhiqing and others without causing them distress.


    In the end, he decided to ignore it, hoping time would erase everything; his sole ability was to help Qiu Yingrong as much as possible.
