Chapter 769 - 764: The Troubled Xue Man
At Bai’s Group, things continued as usual without much difference, as if the exposure of Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing’s relationship had no impact on the company. Employees bustled about their business, speaking to the group’s prosperity in hurried forms.
Having just returned from the sales department, Xue Man slumped at her desk, devoid of her usual vivacity. Her delicate face, previously spirited, now bore a self-deprecating smile. She felt a void inside, as if something had been lost and could never be found again. She never anticipated that the first man to stir her heart would be her best friend’s husband - a cruel irony indeed.
Xue Man sat dazed in her chair, her emotions turbulent. Every encounter with Lu Tianxing flashed through her mind like lightning, leaving her unable to calm her restless thoughts.
The first time she encountered Lu Tianxing at the company, he was a carefree rascal. She wished he would just disappear from her sight immediately, but unfortunately, this irresponsible man had knocked out the deputy head of the security department with a single punch and even dared to brazenly flirt with her...
Back then, she wished she could tear Lu Tianxing to pieces, but she was no match for him physically. Trying to get revenge only resulted in being teased by him, forcing her to grit her teeth in secrecy, out of sight, out of mind...
The second time Lu Tianxing entered her world was during her most desperate moments, curing her mother and standing before her to drive away greedy relatives. Despite her objections, he forcibly kissed her and stole her first kiss, brazenly telling her that he was claiming his reward...

Before, whenever she caught Lu Tianxing’s lascivious gaze on her, a nameless rage would burst within her, wishing she could gouge out his eyes. But now, when Lu Tianxing’s gaze fell on her, she felt no anger, but rather a proud feeling that her charm was significant enough to attract his attention.
The third time Lu Tianxing appeared in her world was due to Bai Zhiqing’s arrangement in Xiangjiang, where she saw another side of Lu Tianxing hidden behind his carefree demeanor, an irresistible dominance. When Lu Tianxing protected her from Zhao Lin, she felt he was the man every woman hoped to find in her life, someone who could provide a sense of security. Perhaps, it was then that the seed of love was sown...
