Chapter 2242 - 2215: Qiu Yingrong’s Worries

At this moment, Qiu Yingrong took a deep breath and said, "Tian Rui, if you still see me as your sister, you should honestly tell me what exactly happened. Is it related to Tianxing?"

After hearing Qiu Yingrong’s words, Qiu Tianrui didn’t immediately respond but let his gaze linger on Qiu Yingrong for a moment before slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air and said, "Sis, you’re actually correct, this matter is indeed related to Mr. Lu. Recently, Mr. Lu visited Xiangjiang and successfully injured a late-stage Mythical Realm entity with his middle-stage Mythical power. After this news spread, everyone knew that the Third Young Master of Lu Family possesses an astonishing cultivation technique. Whoever obtains this technique could reach the Mythical Realm in the shortest time, surpassing the decades-long journey of ordinary people within just a year or two, and even challenge beyond their level."

"And because of this, Mr. Lu has become a hot commodity for countless forces who all want to obtain this cultivation technique to dominate China and become a top family. They wouldn’t mind taking risks to achieve their goals, so we’re worried they might use you and Lingling to blackmail Mr. Lu, which is why we’ve brought you to the Qiu Family Mansion, after all, Lingling is Mr. Lu’s daughter."

Qiu Tianrui didn’t mention the incident Lu Tianxing encountered in Beijing to Qiu Yingrong, not because he deliberately concealed it from her, but because he didn’t want Qiu Yingrong to worry. After all, Lu Tianxing’s trip to Beijing was fraught with danger, saying it was a life-and-death situation wouldn’t be an understatement. If Qiu Yingrong knew, she probably wouldn’t be able to sleep well or eat heartily, feeling anxious and restless. He didn’t want to see that happen.

"Will Tianxing be alright?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tianrui’s words, Qiu Yingrong couldn’t wait to ask, her fists clenched tightly, and a trace of uncontainable worry showed in her beautiful eyes.

"Sis, don’t worry, everything’s fine."

Qiu Tianrui smiled slightly and said, "Sis, have you forgotten who Mr. Lu is? He is the Third Young Master of the Jiangnan Lu Family and also Jiang Liufeng’s grandson. Even if those forces in China want to act against Mr. Lu, they have to weigh if they can withstand the Lu Family’s retaliation, or bear Mr. Lu’s counteraction, so, Sis, just rest assured. Unless these people are willing to lose their entire family, they’ll dare not do anything to Mr. Lu."

"Really?"

Qiu Yingrong gave Qiu Tianrui a suspicious look, always feeling he was hiding something from her, but couldn’t pinpoint what it could be.

"Of course, it’s true."

Upon sensing Qiu Yingrong’s gaze, Qiu Tianrui responded with an unchanged expression, "Sis, you are my biological sister. I’d deceive anyone but you."

"Mm!"

Qiu Yingrong took a deep look at Qiu Tianrui, nodded slightly, and said, "Tian Rui, make sure you remember, if there’s any news about Tianxing, you must let me know immediately, do you understand?"

"Sis, don’t worry, I understand."

Qiu Tianrui nodded and said, "Alright then, Sis, it’s late, you should go rest!"

"Mm, alright, I’ll head back then."

Qiu Yingrong nodded slightly, said nothing more, turned around, and walked out.

Qiu Tianrui watched Qiu Yingrong’s departing figure, unable to hold back a bitter smile on his face; he realized his sister was now deeply enamored with Lu Tianxing."

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, you mustn’t encounter any mishaps, you must stay alive, or I really don’t know what my sister will become."

Qiu Tianrui slowly raised his head, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and sighed softly in his heart.

...

Time flowed like water, quickly passing by, and now it’s the second day since Lu Tianxing returned to Beijing.

The bright sunshine poured into the room, giving it good lighting. As it shone on a person’s face, it provided a warm feeling. Lu Tianxing lay on the bed with Bai Zhiqing in his arms, a faint smile gracing his face.

After some time, Bai Zhiqing slowly opened her eyes, glanced at Lu Tianxing beside her, and flashed a gentle, serene smile.

Last night, she fell asleep holding onto Lu Tianxing, or more accurately, being held by him, because this gave Bai Zhiqing an unprecedented sense of safety. As long as Lu Tianxing was by her side, she believed he would hold the sky up for her again, he wouldn’t let her suffer any harm.

This was the best night’s sleep Bai Zhiqing had in the shortest time lately, without any nightmares, not waking up startled by bad dreams, sleeping comfortably like never before.

"Honey, you’re awake."

Lu Tianxing immediately noticed Bai Zhiqing’s eyes opening and turned his head to smile at her.

"Mm!"

Bai Zhiqing naturally clung to Lu Tianxing’s arm, like a tame kitten nestling against him, listening to his steady and strong heartbeat, breathing in his profound masculine scent.

Lu Tianxing’s arm naturally rested on Bai Zhiqing’s shoulder, gently patting with a rhythmic cadence.

Suddenly, as if recalling something, Bai Zhiqing spoke up, "Tianxing, what time is it now?"

"What time is it?"

Upon hearing Bai Zhiqing’s question, Lu Tianxing paused in surprise, unclear why she suddenly asked him this but still reached out to pick up the phone by the bed and took a look.

"It’s already nine o’clock."

Upon Lu Tianxing’s words, Bai Zhiqing’s expression changed slightly, swiftly sitting up and commanding, "Lu Tianxing, get up right now, hurry, get dressed immediately."

Just then, the room’s door was knocked.

"My Third Young Master Lu, Third Young Madam Lu, are you planning to get up? Morning exercises should be timed, right? Do you know I’ve been starving waiting for you to eat?"

Lin Yafei’s charming and pleasant voice immediately came through the door from outside.

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but reveal a bitter smile; he finally understood why Bai Zhiqing urged him to get up and dress quickly.

"It’s all your fault, all your fault, all because of you."

After hearing Lin Yafei’s voice, a blush appeared on Bai Zhiqing’s face. She couldn’t help but pinch hard at Lu Tianxing’s waist, saying, "What are you waiting for? Get up, get dressed, and go explain to Lin Demon that we didn’t do anything this morning."
