Chapter 150: Chapter 147: Lu Xiao: You’re a Heartless Liar
On the contrary, Wen Xian arrived with a beaming smile all the way, bantering and laughing with Li Zaijun, looking in a good mood.
She seemed completely undisturbed by the emotions of parting.
The man driving was naturally reticent, and seeing her , he said nothing, but his eyes grew darker and darker.
Li Zaijun, knowing better, entered the airport and quickly bid him goodbye, fearing that if she stayed a second longer, his gaze would freeze her solid.
“Lu Xiao, take care of this backpack, I’ve brought you a box of fruit to eat on the plane, and this—”
Near the security checkpoint, she took out a tube of hand cream and waved it in front of him.
With a slight smile on her lips, she said jokingly, “I bought this in Qinghai. When I saw it, I suddenly thought of you. The wind is strong there, take care of your hands.”
Lu Xiao felt a tremor in his heart when he heard her say that, but upon seeing the pink tube of hand cream, he fell silent.
Then, with a slight frown, he said toughly and straightforwardly, “What does a big man like me need hand cream for?”
However, as he spoke, his hand took the hand cream anyway.
Seeing him protest while accepting it, Wen Xian’s smile at the corners of her lips grew even deeper. The next second, she suddenly tiptoed and whispered in his ear:
“I’m afraid you’ll hurt me with your rough hands.”
Lu Xiao’s body suddenly stiffened, and when he looked at her again, his lips were lightly pursed, his gaze deep and burning, and his throat visibly rolled.
Wen Xian, after her teasing, made a quick getaway, acting as if she hadn’t said a thing, “I’ll go wash the fruit for you, wait for me.”
Lu Xiao’s gaze followed her retreating figure intently, and it seemed a deep restraint flickered in the depths of his eyes.
After a moment, he slowly looked down at the pink tube of hand cream and finally tucked it into his coat pocket.
He, a grown man, would use this, not for any particular reason, but simply because it was a gift from her.
When Wen Xian came out of the restroom after washing the fruit, she turned a corner and was suddenly pinned against the wall.
She exclaimed, startled by the man who was now suddenly so close to her.
As she began to speak again, she suddenly became somewhat stammering, “What are, what are you doing? Weren’t you at the security checkpoint? What are you doing here?”
The area was deserted, and the two of them were in this hidden corner.
The man in front of her had a lowered gaze, simply looking at her, with a deep, obscure darkness in his eyes, as if entwined with too much suppressed emotion.
He stared at her for a good while, as if he couldn’t help but finally speak, “I’m about to leave, and you’re sending me off this happily.”
It was just a simple phrase that sounded bland and devoid of emotion, but Wen Xian heard the underlying aggrievement, reluctance, and resentment!
Wen Xian’s gaze immediately became evasive, and she forced a smile, “How, how could that be? I’ll miss you dearly, and I’ll think about you so much my eyes might get wet.”
She wouldn’t tell him that she was about to go to Qinghai to shoot a film, and in just two days’ time, she would appear unexpectedly when he was hopelessly missing her, to give him a surprise!
Yet, how could Lu Xiao know her plan? He saw right through her perfunctory manner with just a glance, a cold snort escaping his nostrils, he said faintly, “Little liar.”
Upon hearing this, Wen Xian deliberately twisted his response, batting her eyes and adopting an innocent look, “Alright, I did lie to you, and it’s not just about my eyes.”
His fist clenched suddenly.
