Chapter 734 - 730: Another Great Thing
Leisure days flashed by, and in the morning, when the radiant sunshine bathed the whole of Modu, the city too awoke from its slumber, engulfed in a vibrant spirit that pervaded this international metropolis.
Lu Tianxing yawned, his face etched with fatigue as he walked out of the room, feeling utterly weary and drained.
Since his return to Modu the day before, he hadn’t had a good rest. First, he was dragged by Mandala and Bai Weiwei to play tennis all afternoon. It was supposed to be a simple best-of-three-sets match, then home, but after roughing up Bai Weiwei, she wouldn’t let him leave and insisted on playing more, claiming she was out of form which was why she lost.
As if that weren’t enough, these two girls seemed to have conspired; when Bai Weiwei ran out of steam, Mandala took over. They waged a relentless tag team battle against him, determined to beat him without allowing him to surrender, forbidding him from using True Qi. The ordeal nearly drove him to the brink.
And that wasn’t all, somehow He Cailan, that old lady, had noticed something different about Bai Zhiqing. After dinner, she painstakingly lectured Bai Zhiqing on various childbirth-related topics for over two hours. When Bai Zhiqing returned to her room, she gave him cold looks, derailing his plans for having children altogether. Worse still, Bai Zhiqing kept seducing him, then menacingly brandishing scissors; any move he made was met with her teary, aggrieved expression, as if he had committed some atrocious deed.
Shaking his head, Lu Tianxing, with a defeated look, headed downstairs. As he caught sight of the situation in the living room, his face turned wildly, and he instinctively spun around to head back upstairs.
At that moment, in the living room, Bai Zhiqing was sitting there, her face flushed with embarrassment, her cheeks so red they seemed to drip, while He Cailan was eagerly asking her questions, with Bai Weiwei and Mandala sitting by like curious babies, occasionally chiming in with their thoughts.
"Tianxing, you’re up too."
Just as he planned to sneak upstairs while no one in the living room had noticed him, He Cailan’s voice already rang in his ear.
