Chapter 127 - 126 Bai Weiwei’s View
Bai Weiwei silently watched Lu Tianxing for a moment, then continued speaking, "Brother-in-law, actually, you don’t know that the moment I saw you, deep down, I didn’t believe my sister would like you, let alone marry you. Because you were simply not good enough for her, even if Grandpa and Grandma accepted you, I didn’t. To me, it was like a fresh flower being stuck in cow dung, with no happiness to be gained. But now it seems, brother-in-law, you truly deserve my sister, even it might be said that she was the one reaching for you."
"Why would you say that?"
"Because of the way you acted, brother-in-law. When those thugs at the bar were harassing us, you were not the slightest bit afraid. Instead, you were comforting and protecting me. Any other man would have been scared speechless. And when it came to action, there was nothing clumsy about your moves, they were completely instinctive. In other words, those actions are deeply etched into your bones, becoming your subconscious moves. From that moment on, I knew you were no ordinary man."
Bai Weiwei stretched out her hand to embrace Lu Tianxing’s arm and said, "Brother-in-law, you don’t have to deny any of this. I may not be an expert in psychology, but I have studied it as a minor, so I know these things. Do you know what you are in my heart? You are like a mystery to me; I can’t see through you. Because you’re always hiding yourself, no one can see into your heart, not even my sister who always thinks she’s great at understanding people. All that you show, in my eyes, is just a way you disguise and hide your true self."
Lu Tianxing’s heart quivered. He hadn’t expected Bai Weiwei’s gaze to be so sharp. She truly was Bai Zhiqing’s sister and equally not to be underestimated.
"Ha, Weiwei, that’s just your guess, I’m not as mysterious as you think. I’ve lived abroad, and you must have heard how chaotic it can be there. Fighting and shooting are common occurrences; I’ve seen it, so I wasn’t afraid," said Lu Tianxing with a chuckle.
"No, this isn’t just a guess. It’s my intuition, telling me that you, brother-in-law, are hiding many secrets. For instance, when Grandpa first met you, he whispered something about a military knife. He was speaking quietly, but I heard it clearly. He said ’military knife.’ Brother-in-law, can you tell me what that means? I promise I won’t tell a soul."
Bai Weiwei hugged Lu Tianxing’s arm tightly, hanging almost like a koala on him, her beautiful eyes filled with curiosity.
With Bai Weiwei’s movements, Lu Tianxing suddenly smelled a faint scent mixed with alcohol wafting toward him.
"Weiwei, you’re drunk. I’m going to drive you home now," Lu Tianxing said, changing the subject as he looked at Bai Weiwei, whose face was flushed and breath as sweet as orchids.
"I’m not drunk, I won’t get drunk! Brother-in-law, come on, tell me what ’military knife’ means, I promise I won’t tell," she insisted, tilting her head to look at Lu Tianxing and stubbornly shaking his arm like a child begging for candy. Because of the alcohol, Bai Weiwei’s skin, as tender as a peeled egg, was suffused with a seductive rosy flush, and her eyes were sparkling as if they could drip water.
"Damn! Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to take care of you?"
