Chapter 767 - 763: I Realize I’ve Committed Heinous Crimes
Compared to when she arrived with a heavy heart, Lin Qianru felt an unprecedented sense of relief as she left, like clearing away the fog to see the bright moon.
Before receiving Bai Zhiqing’s call to come to the hospital, she had braced herself for the worst, but unexpectedly, things had taken a turn for the better. Bai Zhiqing hadn’t driven her away; instead, she even tacitly acknowledged her relationship with Lu Tianxing. How could she not be happy?
Watching Lin Qianru leave with a lightened spirit, Bai Zhiqing suddenly felt as if she were boneless, collapsing into Lu Tianxing’s arms, her hands tightly clutching his arms.
Honestly, she didn’t want to share Lu Tianxing with any other woman, but she was well aware that a man like Lu Tianxing couldn’t be tied down to just one woman; as she had said, rather than having him surrounded by women with ulterior motives, it was better to have a woman who knew him well by his side. She couldn’t leave Lu Tianxing, nor did she want to see him in guilt and pain, so her only choice was to endure. Perhaps this was for the best.
Seeing Bai Zhiqing’s state, a warmth surged in Lu Tianxing’s heart. He was no fool and understood that Bai Zhiqing’s tolerance of Lin Qianru stemmed solely from her love for him—a love so deep that it led her to accept Lin Qianru. Otherwise, if it were any other woman, she would have probably slapped him and told him to get lost, let alone tolerate being embraced by others.
Lu Tianxing took a deep breath, said nothing, and just held Bai Zhiqing tightly in his arms, as if only by doing so could he assure her of his love.
Bai Zhiqing, feeling the change in Lu Tianxing, wrapped her arms tightly around his waist and rested her head in his chest, listening to his strong, steady heartbeat. It seemed that at this moment, Lu Tianxing truly belonged to her alone, and not shared with someone else.
It’s hard to say how long passed before Lu Tianxing gently released Bai Zhiqing and quietly said, "Wife, thank you."
"Thank me for what? Didn’t you say that I am your wife? Do husbands and wives need to say thank you?"
