Chapter 197: Chapter 194: This little vixen surnamed Lu is really aggravating!
Late at night, the wind and snow gradually subsided, and all fell silent.
Early the next morning.
While Wen Xian was still in a dream, the rescue team had arrived, having notified a group of people to come to the rescue overnight.
Three off-road vehicles arrived in a convoy, with her sleeping soundly in Lu Xiao’s arms.
She was so deeply asleep that when the rescue team arrived, she only frowned and hummed softly as Lu Xiao carried her down, then she snuggled against his chest and fell back into a deep sleep.
The team members were stunned at the sight, and when they spoke, they all tried to keep their voices as low as possible.
Nonsense, if their boss wouldn’t dare to wake the woman, they dared even less!
Due to her injuries and exhaustion, when Wen Xian woke up again, she opened her eyes to find she was already in a room.
She let out a grunt, rubbed her head, and sat up, instinctively looking for Lu Xiao.
The room was simply furnished, with a wooden bed and a relatively hard mattress, dark blue bed linen, grey curtains, wooden floors, and a small en suite bathroom.
Everything was so simple there could hardly be anything simpler, yet very clean and tidy.
However, she could smell a familiar scent in the air, could it be… Lu Xiao’s room?
Wen Xian wondered, focusing her gaze, and recalled the scene she had seen when the knocking came at the door the night before.
Indeed, it seemed to be the case.
Just as she was about to get up, her eyes unexpectedly caught sight of a photo frame on the bedside table, and she paused momentarily.
Her awareness sharpened, she leaned over and picked up the frame.
Upon looking at it, she almost immediately spotted the most conspicuous person among the dozen or so special forces—Lu Xiao.
He stood in the middle of the second row; the dozen special forces soldiers, all in combat uniforms, looked like an elite team, each armed with a rifle. Apart from Lu Xiao, who had a stern face without a smile, the others were all grinning.
When Wen Xian saw that photo, her heart skipped a beat.
It seemed like she was gradually uncovering some of Lu Xiao’s past experiences.
Yet he had not mentioned those times to her.
Lu Xiao had been a soldier; she knew that. But when her gaze fell on the gold-embossed script in the bottom right corner, she was taken aback.
It read, “Falcon Commando!”
She frowned slightly, it was clear from the name that this was no ordinary team.
If that was the case, then why had he come here to be the Captain of the uninhabited area in the west?
As Wen Xian continued with her questions, it happened to be lunchtime in the canteen of the jurisdiction.
And as soon as she went downstairs, the young guys in the jurisdiction were surprised and delighted to see her, warmly calling her sister-in-law, and Wen Xian also greeted them with a smiling face.
She scanned the room for Lu Xiao and saw him by the canteen window, talking to a man.
The man was wearing a black V-neck sweater with a dark blue shirt underneath, had pale skin, and sported a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
From this angle, the man looked tall and refined, exuding a strict aura, albeit handsome.
“Hmm, where did this refined gentleman come from?”
Wen Xian was curious when she suddenly felt a sharp gaze sweep over her.
Piercing black eyes skewered her, seemingly dissatisfied with her scrutiny of another man.
Wen Xian quickly smiled appeasingly at him, only to see Lu Xiao apparently indifferent, withdrawing his gaze dismissively and continuing to talk to the man.
Damn, this Lu Xiao really knows how to wear someone down.
