Chapter 191 - 190: The Unfavored Collaboration (3rd Update)
"Why did you come up here? Can’t you call a cab yourself?" Xue Man said coldly.
"My dear Minister Xue, is it really necessary? Was it just because I kissed you? Do you need to hold such a deep grudge? Besides, you almost broke my foot just now, you should have calmed down by now," Lu Tianxing said with a bitter smile.
Unfortunately, Lu Tianxing didn’t know that although Xue Man was very beautiful, practically no man had dared to approach her since she was young. Any man who tried was severely dealt with by her, ending up avoiding her like a rat fleeing from a cat. Thus, she had preserved her first kiss.
Having kept it for over twenty years, intending to give it to her boyfriend, to have it stolen by a despicable rogue was an ordeal anyone would find uncomfortable.
"This is the retribution for your harassment," she snapped.
Xue Man glared at Lu Tianxing, feeling her anger rise whenever she saw him. It was better not to look at him at all.
Seeing Xue Man’s demeanor, Lu Tianxing helplessly shrugged his shoulders and chose to keep quiet. Someone once said that when a man argues with a woman, it’s like digging his own grave because no matter whether he is right or wrong, people tend to side with the supposed weaker party, especially if the woman is beautiful.
Although Lu Tianxing liked to argue with Bai Zhiqing, after all, she was his wife, and their arguments fostered their relationship. Arguing with Xue Man, however, would only make her hold more grudges against him, pondering over revenge.
Lu Tianxing adopted the stance of offending anyone but a woman, choosing to remain silent until Xue Man’s anger subsided. If the argument continued and Xue Man, in a fit of rage, decided to take drastic measures, he did not want to meet an untimely demise.
