Bai Zhiqing was held in Lu Tianxing's arms, not struggling or speaking immediately. She just gently lifted her head, her eyes bright as she looked at Lu Tianxing. After a while, she slowly said, "Lu Tianxing, am I your wife?"

Lu Tianxing was slightly taken aback, not understanding why Bai Zhiqing asked that, but he still nodded heavily, "Yes."

"That's good."

Bai Zhiqing took a deep breath, looked at Lu Tianxing, and said, "Then tell me, why did you have to come to New York? You know it's very dangerous here, so why did you come? What exactly are you hiding from me in your heart?"

"I..."

Lu Tianxing opened his mouth but hadn't spoken yet when he was interrupted again by Bai Zhiqing, "Lu Tianxing, there's no need to lie to me. I'm not stupid, and I can tell that since we came back from Jiangnan, you've been hiding something in your heart. Am I right?"

Looking into Bai Zhiqing's eyes, Lu Tianxing sighed and softly said, "Honey, please don't ask, okay? I'll tell you everything when the time is right, okay? Promise me you won't ask me this, please."

It wasn't that Lu Tianxing didn't want to tell Bai Zhiqing; he just couldn't. He didn't want her to worry about him because using a life-and-death crisis to break through, any slight mistake could lead to inevitable death.

Bai Zhiqing didn't say anything, just let her beautiful eyes fall on Lu Tianxing. Listening to his slightly pleading tone, she finally sighed lightly and said, "Okay, I won't ask you about the wolf, but I want you to promise me that if you encounter danger, you'll run as far as you can and not face it head-on. Even if not for yourself, then for me, for Qian Ru..."

Lu Tianxing nodded heavily, "Hmm, I promise you I'll take good care of myself because I promised you a world-renowned wedding."

"Hmm."

Bai Zhiqing gently nodded her head, reached out to wrap her arms around Lu Tianxing's neck, and said softly and coquettishly, "Honey, I'm sleepy, I want you to hold me to sleep."

Lu Tianxing didn't say anything, just gently held Bai Zhiqing in his arms, walked into the bedroom, placed her on the bed, and lay down beside her, then reached out to pull her gently into his arms.

Bai Zhiqing moved her body slightly, as if trying to find a comfortable position, and slowly closed her eyes.

Looking at the exquisite face in front of him, Lu Tianxing took a deep breath, his eyes filled with an inextinguishable love. He didn't know when it started, but the woman in front of him had become increasingly important in his heart. He realized he seemed to have completely fallen in love with her.

...

As time passed, when night fell, all the neon lights in New York lit up, announcing the beginning of nightlife to everyone.

Lu Tianxing stepped out of the bedroom dressed in a light gray Armani suit, while Bai Zhiqing wore a black evening gown, accentuating her perfect figure to the fullest. Her exquisite features carried a trace of a cold and proud aura, hugely attractive to men.

"Honey, can I not go to tonight's party?" Lu Tianxing said in a conflicted tone as he looked at Bai Zhiqing.

He had originally planned that after dinner, he would go on a frantic shopping spree with Bai Zhiqing. After all, New York was one of the icons of luxury. Coming to New York without buying some luxury goods would be like saying you never came. Not to mention if Bai Weiwei knew he returned from New York without bringing her gifts, she would drive him crazy.

But as soon as they planned to have dinner, a phone call came inviting Bai Zhiqing to a party. Bai Zhiqing wanted to refuse, but the invitation was from the new chairman of Louis Jewelry Group, who had sent an invitation to Bai's Group for the jewelry exhibition. In every sense, she couldn't refuse. After all, if Bai's Group wanted to develop a jewelry company, they needed someone's help.

"Not going?"

Bai Zhiqing glanced at Lu Tianxing and said blandly, "Fine, but if you're not afraid of other men taking advantage of me at the party, you can choose not to go."

"Uh!"

At these words, Lu Tianxing's face turned black, speechless. He couldn't believe there wouldn't be any admirers at the party with Bai Zhiqing looking so beautiful.

Seeing Lu Tianxing's exasperated look, Bai Zhiqing showed a victorious smile. She walked to Lu Tianxing's side, reached out to hold his arm, and the two walked downstairs together, quickly getting into the car and leaving.

Driving through the streets of New York, Lu Tianxing opened the car window, letting the cool night breeze blow against his cheek, and asked, "Honey, do you know who's inviting you to this party?"

Bai Zhiqing was slightly taken aback, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing,"

Lu Tianxing shook his head and said, "I'm just curious how a jewelry group, who hasn't had any business with Bai's Group for a long time, suddenly sent an invitation to your group. Inviting you to a jewelry exhibition is one thing, but calling you for a party today, don't you think it's a bit strange?"

"What's so strange about that."

Bai Zhiqing looked at Lu Tianxing and explained with a smile, "You think my connections are just for show? The person inviting us to the party is an old classmate of mine. Otherwise, do you think I'd have agreed to go so easily?"

"Old classmate? Male or female?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianxing became immediately alert. If he remembered correctly, Zhao Lin also claimed to be Bai Zhiqing's old classmate, which almost led to a fallout between him and Bai Zhiqing.

"Male or female, you'll see when you get there."

Looking at Lu Tianxing's jealous expression, Bai Zhiqing's lips curled into a mysterious smile, showing no anger but rather a trace of sweetness in her heart.

If a man gets jealous for you, it means he truly cares about you. Otherwise, he wouldn't bother questioning anything you do, because to him, you would be just a stranger. Who cares whether a stranger's classmate is male or female.

Hearing Bai Zhiqing's words, Lu Tianxing made up his mind. He really wanted to see what kind of person Bai Zhiqing's old classmate was. If it's a man trying to steal from him, he'd break his pickaxe.
