Chapter 141: Chapter 138: Met Lu’s Parents!!
Absolutely, her straightforwardness had him taking a palm to his forehead, and his ears also began to feel hot, as he tried hard to suppress every throbbing cell within him.
When he looked at her again, he took a deep breath and said, “Do you realize that by saying this, it’s as if you want to be with me only for my body?”
Seeing his suddenly sweeping gaze, Wen Xian’s words caught in her throat, and instead she let out a dry chuckle:
“Hehe, of course not, I love your soul the most, your upright character, your…”
Lu Xiao couldn’t listen any further to her deliberate flattery, and he stretched out a hand to cover her mouth.
But Wen Xian looked at him with twinkling eyes, a smile radiant. When you like someone, even if their mouth is blocked, it still shows in their eyes.
Her eyes were like pools of spring water, exceptionally moving, making Lu Xiao’s back inexplicably heat up, his eyes growing deeper.
She was truly torturous.
He felt he couldn’t continue to stay any longer; otherwise, it would be torture for himself, so he turned to prepare to get out of bed.
But just as he was about to leave, his back was suddenly wrapped with a pair of slender, pale arms from behind.
Her soft body pressed tightly against his sturdy, broad back.
This, how could anyone withstand it?
Her voice was so gentle, a bit hoarse from just waking up, as she hugged him from behind.
For a moment, Lu Xiao truly understood why it’s been said since ancient times that heroes have a hard time overcoming the allure of a beautiful woman.
All his cold, proud bones and ironclad righteousness melted into softness at her touch.
The sunlight was blazing, golden rays filtering through the leaves of the tall plane trees by the roadside, dappled and fragmented across the asphalt road.
The road to the hospital was as busy as ever, bustling and congested, but stuck in traffic, Wen Xian now found herself patient.
She looked at the man driving next to her, leaning back in her seat, unable to help the slight smile playing on her lips.
It would be so nice to keep going forever, she really wished that this road had no end, just driving on and on.
He drove, she enjoyed the breeze, listened to the car CD, and thought that this was all the beauty the world had to offer.
However, she knew this couldn’t last forever, so what to do in the future…?
She wouldn’t ask him to leave Qinghai—his work was there, his mission, an entire territory needed his protection, and could not be swayed by romantic entanglements.
So all she could do was to try to be as close to him as possible.
“Lu Xiao, you’re going back tonight, will you miss me?”
Wen Xian suddenly turned her head to ask.
Lu Xiao, who had been seriously driving: “…”
His sharp and clear eyes glanced at her through the rearview mirror, his lips barely parting as he said, “Why talk about such things, they are meaningless.”
Whether he missed her or not, he still had to leave.
Saying it out loud would only deepen her feelings of separation.
Noticing his cold response, Wen Xian huffed, crossed her arms and looked out the window, “Jerk, you turn cold and heartless in an instant after being comfortable.”
The corner of his eye twitched as he took a palm to his forehead.
His throat moved slightly, and his eyes deepened, until he finally left her with the words:
“Make sure you take care of yourself, don’t work too hard over here.”
There was a slight flicker in her eyes, and a small tug at the corner of her lips, Lu Xiao would certainly never imagine that she had already taken the role in Qinghai.
She would go to Qinghai to start filming as soon as she finished her current work.
And then she would see him again.
But she wouldn’t tell him now. She wanted to appear suddenly, making him believe he was dreaming…!
It wasn’t long before they were about to arrive at the hospital.
Just then, Lu Xiao received a phone call unexpectedly.
A girl’s voice was chattering on the phone, and Wen Xian strained her ears trying to eavesdrop.
Lu Xiao saw her little move and pre-emptively spoke somewhat helplessly as he hung up the phone:
“It’s my sister, she’s taking care of our parents at the hospital. She just called asking me to go to the hospital to settle the final payment; my dad is being discharged today. She’s waiting for me at the hospital entrance, so I’ll go over first.”
Wen Xian, upon hearing Captain go to such lengths to explain, waved her hands as if she couldn’t care less:
“Why say so much, just hurry and go. I’ll be there soon, I’ll go straight to your dad’s ward.”
They were almost at the hospital and traffic was jammed, parking would take some effort, so Lu Xiao parked the car at the curb and got out first.
Wen Xian moved into the driver’s seat, suddenly feeling very nervous; damn it, she was actually going to meet Lu Xiao’s parents!
At the hospital entrance, a short-haired girl wearing a black denim jacket was on her tiptoes peering around at the cars, apparently waiting for someone.
Just as she was about to pick up her phone again, suddenly a tall and striking figure caught her eye.
She saw him and immediately ran over.
“Brother, did you walk here?! Why didn’t I see you take a cab?”
Li Zaijun asked, slightly winded.
Lu Xiao’s face was indifferent: “My girlfriend drove me here.”
“Pfft…! Your girlfriend? Come on, bro, you don’t need to pretend with me.”
