Chapter 101: Chapter 98: Warning you, don’t do anything to me!
Wen Xian was flustered, “…”
What’s going on, had the car broken down?
Is this for real, could the timing be any worse? She was supposed to catch a plane tonight.
Though she had wondered why the car would break down at such an inconvenient time, upon seeing Lu Xiao’s serious expression, his slightly furrowed brows, she gradually dismissed the thought at the bottom of her heart.
Indeed, while others might have done something, Lu Xiao wouldn’t. He was so serious and meticulous, impartial as iron, strictly disciplined…!
Such a person could never be involved in any shady business behind the scenes.
With that in mind, Wen Xian still got out of the car.
When Lu Xiao noticed her getting out, his deep eyes flashed with intrigue, but it was fleeting.
Wen Xian walked over and asked anxiously, “What’s the situation, why won’t the car start?”
Lu Xiao said solemnly, “It seems like the fuel pump in the engine has failed.”
“Ah!? The fuel pump has failed!?” Wen Xian’s face changed in an instant; if the fuel pump was broken, the car definitely wouldn’t start. It was completely dead.
She found it hard to believe and leaned over to check for herself.
Noticing her leaning in, Lu Xiao seemed to be inspecting the fault inside the car, but his hand, unseen by her, ever so slightly exerted force and stealthily disconnected the fuel pump relay.
Wen Xian frowned and sighed, seemingly reluctant to accept it: “Damn it, it was fine just now, how could it break down like that?”
Lu Xiao spoke in a detached tone, “This isn’t the first time something has happened, you just happened to be the unfortunate one.”
The implication was that there was nothing that could be done.
She ruffled her hair, looking at the evening sky as the sun was setting, and turned to him with a look of helpless desperation, “What should we do then, will I be able to leave tonight?”
If she didn’t return soon, her manager Sister Ling would seriously come after her with a knife.
The next second, it was as if she heard a judgemental tone in his voice:
Unfeeling and indifferent.
“You won’t be able to leave tonight.”
Absolutely, no chance of leaving.
Having said that, Lu Xiao closed the hood of the car and made his way to the trunk.
Upon hearing what he said, Wen Xian’s heart immediately tightened, and she quickly followed, “What should we do then, what are you going to do now?”
Lu Xiao’s jaw tensed, he remained silent, ignoring her continuous questions.
It wasn’t until Wen Xian saw him pulling a foldable military tent out of the trunk with her own eyes——
That she instantly widened her eyes.
Wait, wait just a minute, what is this for…?
Lu Xiao placed the tent beside the car, then took out standby items like a sleeping bag and moisture-proof mat from the trunk.
After glancing at the sun sinking bit by bit below the horizon, he finally spoke without much emotion, “The car has broken down, we can only leave tomorrow after rescue arrives at the earliest; it will be dark soon, and we need to set up the tent before nightfall. We have to spend the night outside.”
What did he say, they were going to spend the night in the wilderness…?
Wen Xian, perhaps thinking of something, stared at the only military tent in the car, dumbstruck.
It seemed like she had realized something incredibly dreadful!
Lu Xiao carried the tent in one hand, ready to set it up, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, then tilted his head slightly, and with a serious and earnest tone, he gave a warning:
“Today is an unavoidable circumstance. I warn you, don’t have any impure thoughts about me tonight!”
