Chapter 543 - 539 I’m Here to Start a Business (19th Update)
Seeing the expression on Lu Tianxing’s face, Lan Xin shook off his hand and said discontentedly, "Lu Tianxing, what’s with that look? Is pretending to be my boyfriend that much of a loss for you?"
"A loss?"
Lu Tianxing widened his eyes at Lan Xin and said, "Secretary Lan, can you honestly say, without a guilty conscience, that what you’re saying isn’t unfair? This isn’t just a loss; it’s practically deadly. I have to not only help you fend off your rivals but also deal with their mothers. More importantly, did you not realize that if I hadn’t run away just now, our fake relationship would’ve become real? Didn’t you see the way your mom was looking at me? The spitting image of a mother-in-law sizing up her son-in-law. If I had persisted, I’m afraid my wife would have literally torn me to pieces when I got home tonight."
"You’re really married?" Lan Xin’s eyes widened, she had previously thought that Lu Tianxing was just teasing her. Now it seemed that he wasn’t joking after all. Are there really women who like dark and unremarkable men?
"Is it so strange that I’m married?"
Lu Tianxing gave Lan Xin a look. What kind of expression was that? Was his being married really that surprising?
"Then... then should I accompany you home and help explain the situation to your wife?" Lan Xin hesitated before speaking, after all, this situation was caused by her.
"You help me explain?"
Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but shiver. Bai Zhiqing was especially adept at making a big deal out of nothing. What if she set another trap for him? Was his life still worth living? Last night, Bai Zhiqing nearly killed him, and if Lan Xin found out that Bai Zhiqing was his wife, wouldn’t she broadcast it all over the streets? Women are the worst at keeping secrets.
With this in mind, Lu Tianxing quickly shook his head in refusal: "No need."
"Really, you don’t need me to explain?"
