Chapter 405 - 403
"What on earth has this man experienced before? He’s all smiles and jokes one moment, and in the blink of an eye, he becomes cold-blooded and ruthless."
As they watched Lu Tianxing enjoying his meal, the same thought involuntarily flashed through the minds of Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru. Their beautiful eyes gazed at him intricately; he was always frivolous and playful like a lecher when with them, but in front of Wang Yanzhi, he became a completely different person. They had never seen such a terrifying Lu Tianxing before—an emotionless man whose eyes looked upon life as if it were grass and could end it as easily as pinching.
This man was indeed too mysterious, shrouded in fog, and try as you might, you couldn’t see the slightest bit, nor could you see clearly.
Although Lu Tianxing’s murderous aura wasn’t directed at them at the time, Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru could distinctly feel that he seemed to transform into a different person, like a slaughterer who regarded human life as nothing, who would stamp out a life as trivially as an ant.
The Lu Tianxing they saw then was not the one they were familiar with. He had become a stranger, exuding a coldness that could almost freeze someone alive, his entire being akin to a demon who had walked out of Hell, sending chills down their spines.
Xue Man sat quietly at the dining table, her head lowered, lost in thought, and occasionally stealing glances at Lu Tianxing with the corner of her eye. Then, like a frightened rabbit, she quickly averted her gaze, her heart pounding wildly, unable to calm her thoughts.
It was the second time Lu Tianxing had helped her. The first time, he had saved her mother, pulling her out of a dark world, and this time, to help her, he didn’t hesitate to act ruthlessly, teaching those who wanted to take advantage of her a lesson.
Especially when Lu Tianxing stood in front of her, Xue Man felt her frozen heart slowly melting, and she wished she could throw herself into his arms. Unfortunately, the only rational thought told her that Lu Tianxing was the man of her best friend Lin Qianru, and that she and Lu Tianxing could never be in this lifetime,
"Xue Man, stop your foolish daydreaming. He is your best friend’s boyfriend; you and he are impossible. You must always remember that he is a lecher, who harassed you on his first day at the company, and he took advantage of you. You should hate him, that’s right... just like that...."
