Teasing Lan Xin for a bit, with the image of her shy and angry look still in his mind, Lu Tianxing hummed a tune as he walked into the office with a great mood, where Bai Zhiqing was still buried in her paperwork.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Bai Zhiqing slowly raised her head, her gaze sweeping over Lu Tianxing as she spoke with a tinge of coldness in her voice: "You look pretty happy. Back from flirting outside?"

Startled by Bai Zhiqing's words, Lu Tianxing paused slightly with a wry smile: "Honey, you're overthinking it. What flirting? I just ran into an acquaintance at the company and had a cup of tea with her."

"An acquaintance? Lu Tianxing, do you think I would believe what you're saying?" Bai Zhiqing spoke lightly, her beautiful eyes scrutinizing Lu Tianxing as if trying to find evidence of his lies from his expression.

"Honey, it really is an acquaintance, and you know her too, it's Minister Xue..."

Before Lu Tianxing could finish his sentence, Bai Zhiqing interrupted him: "What did you say, Lu Tianxing, you went out with Xiao Man for tea just now?"

At this moment, Bai Zhiqing's eyes focused on Lu Tianxing, her pretty face already tinged with a layer of frost, a cold aura emanating from her, making Lu Tianxing feel as if the office had suddenly entered midwinter, with chilly winds all around.

Feeling the murderous intent in Bai Zhiqing's eyes, Lu Tianxing couldn't help but shiver, grinning awkwardly: "Honey, you can't blame me, it was Minister Xue who insisted on dragging me out for tea. Besides, I can assure you that there is nothing between Minister Xue and me..."

"Nothing?"

Bai Zhiqing sneered: "Lu Tianxing, do you remember? Back when you were with Qian Ru, you also assured me that your relationship with Qian Ru was pure. And how did that turn out! Lu Tianxing, you're getting more daring, just back to Modu and already starting to flirt around again. Are you planning to turn the entire Bai's Group into your harem before you're satisfied? Do you want me to recruit a hundred or eighty beautiful girls to serve you, make you the Emperor?"

"Uh, that's not necessary, I can't handle it, and besides, with you as my wife, I'm more than satisfied."

Seeing the murderous intent in Bai Zhiqing's beautiful eyes, Lu Tianxing decisively chose to refuse. Having beauties requires a life to enjoy them, and Lu Tianxing could bet that if he nodded just now, Bai Zhiqing wouldn't hesitate to throw her coffee at his head.

Hearing Lu Tianxing's words, Bai Zhiqing's lips curved into a smile: "Smart choice, otherwise I would have shown you the power of the Nine Yin White Bone Claw."

Seeing the smile blooming on Bai Zhiqing's face, Lu Tianxing couldn't help but be stunned, with the soft sunlight casting lightly on Bai Zhiqing, rendering her full of infinite charm, an unmatched beauty at that moment.

Seeing Lu Tianxing's infatuated expression, Bai Zhiqing's face couldn't help but flush with a tinge of red: "What are you looking at, haven't you seen it before...?"

"Hehe, of course I have, but with how beautiful you are, wife, I could look for a lifetime and it wouldn't be enough."

Lu Tianxing chuckled, looking at Bai Zhiqing: "Wife, since no one's around anyway, shall we continue what we didn't finish earlier? Don't you find it thrilling in the office? Life is short, don't you want to try a different kind of life?"

Hearing Lu Tianxing's words, the smile on Bai Zhiqing's face vanished instantly, and she said to Lu Tianxing: "Thrilling? Indeed, it's very thrilling. If you don't want to be turned into a eunuch for life, go ahead and try."

Lu Tianxing nonchalantly said: "Wife, would you really do that? If I'm gone, you'd be missing out for life."

Hearing Lu Tianxing's straightforward words and seeing his lewd smile, Bai Zhiqing's pretty face flushed crimson, glaring fiercely at Lu Tianxing, she was about to say something when there was a knock on the office door.

Bai Zhiqing glanced at Lu Tianxing, warning him not to say nonsense, took a deep breath to calm herself, and pressed a button on the desk: "Come in."

"Creak!"

With the sound of the door opening, a woman in an OL outfit walked in from outside.

Seeing this woman, Lu Tianxing's brows furrowed slightly. He had once checked the personnel files of Bai's Group at Bai Zhiqing's request, and there seemed to be no records of this woman, and for some reason, he felt a coldness from her, not the kind of professional coldness Bai Zhiqing sometimes exuded, but the coldness of someone who has killed.

"Mr. Bai, the personnel department manager asked me to deliver a personnel file to you." The woman said after walking in and looking at Bai Zhiqing.

"Are you from the HR department?"

Looking at the woman in front of her, a hint of doubt crossed Bai Zhiqing's face. She didn't seem to have ever seen this woman in Bai's Group.

"Yes, my name is Wang Jing, and I just joined the company recently."

The woman nodded and said: "During the days Mr. Bai was away, due to a shortage of staff, the HR department manager hired a few people to join, and I am one of them."

Listening to this woman's words, not only did Lu Tianxing's brows not relax, they furrowed even deeper, his gaze fixed on the woman, inspecting her from top to bottom. Suddenly, a flash of brilliance flickered in Lu Tianxing's eyes, his mouth curving into a bloodthirsty smile.

Killing intent!

He sensed killing intent on this woman, a faint and almost imperceptible killing intent that others of the Mythical Realm, even those in the Middle-stage Mythical, or even Late-stage Mythical might not detect, but it couldn't escape him.

Even though the woman named Wang Jing in front of him tried hard to suppress the killing intent in her heart, he clearly sensed it. After all, ever since he enlisted in the military and became a military knife, he had survived countless battles, each time crawling out of life-and-death crises. Later, becoming a mercenary meant living entirely among the dead, constantly dealing with death, which honed his sensation to killing intent more than others. This is one of the reasons he's still alive.

After hearing Wang Jing's words, even though Bai Zhiqing found it a bit strange, she didn't suspect anything and nodded slightly: "In that case, just leave the files on my desk."

"Alright, no problem."

With that, Wang Jing stepped forward, files in hand, walking towards Bai Zhiqing step by step.
