Chapter 136: Chapter 133: Lu Xiao: Wen Xian, let’s add each other on WeChat
Bringing her to meet his parents was one thing, but he also wanted them to know that he wasn’t lying.
His father would be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, and he had a flight back to Qinghai tonight.
He said, “Then let’s go tomorrow morning, I’ll talk to them about it.”
As soon as Wen Xian saw he agreed, the corners of her lips involuntarily curved up while she was looking down to cook the noodles.
He was taking her to meet his parents.
What did this mean? Especially for a man as serious and earnest as Lu Xiao.
A bowl of noodles was quickly prepared, the hand-pulled noodles boiling in the pot. Wen Xian poured the fried eggs and tomatoes into the pot, and instantly, the aroma wafted out amidst the boiling, the rich tomato sauce turning the noodles a bright and fresh color.
She chopped up some coriander and green onions and drizzled some sesame oil just as she turned off the stove. In an instant, though the bowl of noodles was simple, it was complete in color, fragrance, and taste.
Lu Xiao actually felt hungry.
Wen Xian was quite satisfied with her bowl of noodles, but she would never admit that it was the only dish she could make.
Lu Xiao looked at her wearing an apron, carefully and tenderly cooking for him, and was at a loss for words.
This was the first time, other than from his mother, that a woman had cooked for him.
Having been in battlefields, amid the blood and carnage, he’d never experienced such warmth and tenderness.
As Wen Xian turned to get a large bowl, she heard Lu Xiao suddenly say, “Wen Xian, you know, you can’t just give your money to a man casually.”
Wen Xian was somewhat taken aback by his sudden comment.
“I don’t know if you’ve ever done that before, but you should know, a man who truly loves you will never stretch out his hand for his woman’s money.”
A man has his parents, his siblings, he should never resort to asking a woman for money unless it’s a matter of life and death, for anything else, absolutely not.
Wen Xian was stunned for quite a while before she slowly said, “Cheng Dongyuan was my first boyfriend, and it was just for show without real substance. He was wealthier than me. Then, there’s you—”
As she spoke, her voice paused, and her expression became somewhat profound:
“I actually thought you were penniless, and I was prepared to earn more money in the future. But who knew that you actually…”
“Regardless of whether I have money or not, you shouldn’t give it.”
Wen Xian didn’t know why he was so insistent on this issue and could only hastily agree for now.
Lu Xiao was genuinely hungry.
The noodles she had made were so delicious. As he placed it before him on the table, he bowed his head and quickly began to eat, finishing most of the meal in no time.
Wen Xian looked at his back as he ate, feeling as if a thread was tugging at something deep in her heart.
The feeling in her heart grew stronger.
This upright, mature and steady, capable, responsible, and very manly man—he made her feel an unparalleled sense of security she believed she would never encounter again in her life.
Before meeting Lu Xiao, she had never thought about marriage.
But at this moment, she truly felt that he was a man she could trust for a lifetime.
Even though there was a huge gap between their statuses and jobs, she did not want to give up, not in the slightest…
At the moment, Lu Xiao had finished eating. She quickly turned around, pretending to untie her apron.
But the more she tried to untie it, the clumsier her fingers became.
Just then, a large hand reached over, and he moved behind her.
Their two figures were faintly reflected on the smooth white tiles.
The woman was slender and shapely, the man tall and straight, standing behind her like a wall.
He bent down to untie her apron.
The atmosphere seemed to change subtly bit by bit, and then he slowly said, “…Wen Xian, I’ll be leaving tomorrow evening, let’s add each other on WeChat.”
[Brother Nine: Haha, Sister Xian is panicking now, emmm, I was a bit late, don’t hit me for being tardy, stormy chapter at midnight, vote for me!]
