Free Web NovelChapter 2045: Chapter 2018: I Miss You
On the other end of the phone, Shen Manjun’s slightly exhausted and lazy voice came through to Lu Tianxing’s ears: "What’s wrong, can I not call you without a reason? Or are you really the heartless man that Rose and the others said you are, enjoying someone to the fullest then denying responsibility?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Tianxing was instantly filled with exasperation. Damn, he knew he shouldn’t let any woman stay with those two troublemakers, Rose and Lin Yafei, or they’d be influenced sooner or later.
"Manjun, you know that’s not what I meant," Lu Tianxing said helplessly, not understanding why women always like to pick holes in your words.
"I know you didn’t mean that, but you really don’t regard me as important. So many things have happened recently, why didn’t you tell me? Moreover, if I didn’t call you today, would you never call me?" Shen Manjun spoke like a little girl, somewhat persistent.
Lu Tianxing rubbed his nose and said, "The Shen Family isn’t suitable to intervene in this kind of matter right now. Although the Shen Family’s power isn’t exactly weak, it’s ultimately business-oriented. If the Shen Family gets involved and becomes a target, it would be dangerous for you all. Besides, I can handle these things for now."
Shen Manjun was silent for a moment after hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, then spoke again: "Tianxing, how’s the situation now? How’s the Qin Island matter being handled?"
"The Qin Island matter is resolved; I’ve also found the mastermind behind it."
Lu Tianxing slowly exhaled and said, "By the way, I heard from Ya Fei that you haven’t been in Beijing for some time. Did something happen?"
"Nothing much."
Shen Manjun’s gentle voice came through the phone: "It’s just that after what happened last time, plus the significant progress we’ve made on our gene enhancement research, the higher-ups worried about us being targeted, so they moved us to a different place. I’ll have to stay there for a while, Tianxing, I’m sorry I can’t help you during this time..."
"It’s okay."
Before Shen Manjun could finish, Lu Tianxing interrupted, "You’re my woman, just stand behind me and enjoy life, leave everything else to me to handle."
"Okay!"
Shen Manjun nodded slightly and said, "Tianxing, I heard you’ve come to Beijing?"
"That’s right, I came this morning."
Lu Tianxing calmly said, "The Tang Family and Yang Family have tried to scheme against me time and again. If I don’t respond, others might think I’m easy to bully!"
Shen Manjun’s voice came through again, this time with a hint of seriousness: "Tianxing, you must be careful. If you encounter any trouble you can’t handle, go to the Shen Family, I will do my utmost to help you."
"Aren’t you going to persuade me to go back?"
"Why should I persuade you?"
Shen Manjun said in a soft tone, "You’re a man; you have your considerations when doing things. I’m your woman, of course, I should listen to you. I trust that by coming to Beijing, you have full confidence to handle this, so why should I persuade you?"
Hearing Shen Manjun’s words, a warm feeling surged in Lu Tianxing’s heart. That’s the most endearing thing about Shen Manjun, she’s always so understanding.
"Thank you, Manjun."
"Silly, I’m your woman, why do you need to thank me?"
Shen Manjun chuckled softly, taking a deep breath and saying, "Tianxing, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now. Be careful in Beijing."
"Okay, I will."
Lu Tianxing nodded and said, "Manjun, I miss you."
Suddenly hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Shen Manjun fell silent, with only the sound of her gentle breathing coming through the phone.
After a while, Shen Manjun’s soft voice came through: "I miss you too, when I come back, I want you to be with me the whole day."
"No problem, I’ll accompany you eating, playing, and sleeping."
"Go to hell! You pervert."
Shen Manjun’s shy voice came through, then she hung up the phone without giving Lu Tianxing a chance to speak.
Hearing the busy tone from the phone, a faint smile appeared on Lu Tianxing’s lips. After putting away the phone, he washed his hands and turned to walk out of the restroom.
At this moment, Lin Yafei and Bai Zhiqing were chatting aimlessly. When they heard the footsteps nearby, they turned their heads to see Lu Tianxing coming over with a bright expression.
"Little man, why did you take so long in the restroom, you didn’t run into a pretty woman somewhere and start flirting with her, putting Little Qingqing in a position of being cheated on, did you?" Lin Yafei said in a somewhat sarcastic tone upon seeing Lu Tianxing.
Upon hearing this, Lu Tianxing’s face immediately darkened. This woman...
"You didn’t really hook up with a pretty girl in the restroom, did you?"
Lin Yafei said in surprise, looking at Lu Tianxing: "Did you play with that woman in the restroom just now? But your speed too fast, don’t tell me Little Qingqing drained you, and now you’ve become a three-second man!"
Upon hearing the words "three seconds," Lu Tianxing instantly felt a sharp pain in his stomach: "Rest assured, I’m in good shape, can go for an hour without breaking a sweat."
"If you’re not a three-second man, why did it end so quickly?"
Lin Yafei winked at Lu Tianxing: "Don’t worry, I won’t look down on you, I know many traditional Chinese doctors. I’ll get them all to help you regain your confidence as a man."
Lu Tianxing’s face immediately darkened. He felt like he could spit blood and almost wanted to drag Lin Yafei to a hotel room to prove to her whether or not he was a three-second man.
Ignoring Lin Yafei, Lu Tianxing simply said, "The food’s all served, why aren’t you eating?"
"Little Qingqing said to wait for you before eating, what else could I do?" Lin Yafei shrugged and said.
Upon hearing this, Lu Tianxing immediately looked at Bai Zhiqing.
Feeling Lu Tianxing’s gaze, Bai Zhiqing maintained a gentle smile, as if the earlier conversation with Lin Yafei hadn’t affected her mood at all.
