<strong>Capítulo 1218: Chapter 1211: Going for Tea Together</strong>


    Watching Xue Man decisively turn on her heel and leave, Lu Tianxing was taken aback and shook his head with a wry smile. This girl really hasn’t changed a bit—still so aggressive, and not allowing anyone to challenge her decisions.


    As soon as the elevator reached the first floor, Lu Tianxing had not yet stepped out of the lobby when the melodic ringtone from the phone in his pocket started ying.


    Lu Tianxing took out his phone and nced at the caller disy, instantly feeling speechless. Why was she calling so quickly?<fn35af> Readplete version only at Find★Novel</fn35af>


    “Lu Tianxing, where are you now? I’m warning you, don’t run around. Stand obediently at the gate and wait for me. I’ming down to find you now.”


    Xue Man’s voice immediately came through the phone, her tone leaving no room for negotiation.


    “Minister Xue, weren’t you busy? I haven’t even walked out of the lobby! Do you really need to call and monitor me so promptly?” Lu Tianxing said with a wry smile.


    “Hmph. I’ve finished my things, besides, what if you sneak away? This is just preventative action, you’ve got a record.”


    Xue Man snorted coldly, “Wait outside now, I’ll drive out from the underground parking lot.”


    With that, Xue Man hung up directly.


    Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Lu Tianxing felt a pang of frustration. He had just been nning in his heart whether he could sneak away, but Xue Man called and seemed to have calcted that he’d try to make a run for it.


    Lu Tianxing slipped his phone back into his pocket and walked outside with a helpless look on his face.


    Just as he reached the gate, he heard the screeching sound of brakes as a car stopped beside him.


    The car window rolled down slowly, and there sat Xue Man in the driver’s seat, her eyes fixed intently on Lu Tianxing, and she said with an undisputable tone, “Get in.”


    “Alright!”


    Lu Tianxing didn’t hesitate, opening the car door and sitting in the passenger seat.


    As soon as he got inside, a faint scent hit his nose. It wasn’t the smell of car perfume, but the aromaing from Xue Man herself.


    “Minister Xue, isn’t it just tea? There’s no need to rush like this! We could meet up after work for tea.” Lu Tianxing said, looking at Xue Man.


    “Hmph, of course, it’s urgent. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to—trying to sneak off while I’m working, I’ll tell you, that’s wishful thinking. In my hands, you can’t run away.”


    Xue Man looked at Lu Tianxing smugly, “Lu Tianxing, you should feel lucky that I’m in a good mood today and especially invited you for tea. Otherwise, even if you wanted to invite me, I wouldn’t go. You should feel very honored, don’t you think, Assistant Lu?”


    With these words, Xue Man’s gaze fell on Lu Tianxing.


    Seeing that look, Lu Tianxing shivered all over. There was something eerily ominous in Xue Man’s eyes, as if something bad was about to happen.


    “Minister Xue, I do feel honored, but maybe we could skip the tea. I think sneaking out for tea during work hours isn’t good for thepany…” Lu Tianxing said apprehensively. He simply couldn’t believe Xue Man wanted to have tea with him without ulterior motives.


    “Not good for thepany?”


    Xue Man’s voice cooled a bit, speaking irritably, “This is the first time I’m hearing the renowned tardiness king of Bai’s Group say it’s not good for thepany. Lu Tianxing, do you find me annoying and don’t want to spend time with me?”


    “Uh.”


    Hearing Xue Man’s words, Lu Tianxing was momentarily stunned, “How could that be! I don’t think anyone would refuse a chance to be with a beauty.”


    After saying this, Lu Tianxing silently added in his heart: Even if she’s a violent beauty, there are plenty of warriors who aren’t afraid of death.


    “If that’s not the case, then sit there and obediently follow me. It’s not like I’m making you pay, why the rush.” Xue Man nced at Lu Tianxing.


    Xue Man had spoken, so Lu Tianxing didn’t say anything more but watched the scenery speeding by outside the window.


    Ten minutester, Xue Man abruptly braked, stopping the car near a tea house that wasn’t far from Bai’s Group, with decor that was very traditional.


    “Get out.”


    Xue Man nced at Lu Tianxing, then undid her seatbelt and got out of the car.


    Lu Tianxing said nothing, undone his seatbelt, and opened the car door to get out.


    “Let’s go! We’re going in.”


    Xue Man looked at Lu Tianxing and headed straight inside.


    Lu Tianxing followed Xue Man into the tea house.


    The two randomly picked a seat and waved, immediately a waiter came over, “Esteemed sir and miss, what would you like to drink?”


    Xue Man calmly said, “Give us a pot of your top-grade Longjing tea and a te of osmanthus cake.”


    “Alright, please wait a moment.”


    The waiter nodded respectfully and left.


    In just a moment, a pot of Longjing tea and a te of osmanthus cake were served.


    “Enjoy,” the waiter said respectfully.


    Xue Man picked up the teapot, poured herself a cup, and poured one for Lu Tianxing as well. Without saying a word, she just blew gently on the tea, taking a sip.


    Lu Tianxing nced at Xue Man, not knowing what to say. So he picked up his teacup, gently sniffed it, and the strong tea aroma invigorated his senses.


    Taking a sip, Lu Tianxing looked at Xue Man and said, “Minister Xue, you didn’t invite me just for tea, did you? If there’s anything you need help with, feel free to say.”


    Hearing this, Xue Man looked up at Lu Tianxing and said, “Lu Tianxing, what do you mean by that? Do you think I’m the type who only invites you for tea when I need your help?”


    “Uh!”


    Hearing Xue Man’s words, Lu Tianxing was utterly speechless. Did this girl take something to make her talk so sharply today?


    Actually, it wasn’t Xue Man’s fault. Deep down, she didn’t want to be this way with Lu Tianxing; she wished she could be gentle like other women. But fearing that Lu Tianxing might notice something, she kept up her usual demeanor.


    Only this way did Xue Man feel she could talk to Lu Tianxing. Once the window paper was broken, perhaps she and Lu Tianxing couldn’t even be friends anymore.


    “Lu Tianxing, I heard that you’ve be the Third Young Master of Lu Family?” After a moment of silence, Xue Man looked at Lu Tianxing, curiously asking.


    PS: It’s the first day of the new year, wishing all brothers a happy new year, best of luck and prosperity in the new year!!!
