Chapter 222: Chapter 219: Lu Xiao, I Look Down on You!
The midday sun was fierce.
Its rays penetrated, making her feel hot all over.
With a final carp-like flick, she sat up disheveled and hurriedly said, “I’ll be quick, almost there, what, I definitely wasn’t sleeping, I’m in the car! On my way!”
After hanging up the phone, she didn’t care about the current situation and hastily put on her trousers, rushing into the bathroom.
Jin Zhu had called to tell her about a very important movie press conference at eight o’clock that evening. As the lead, she had to attend, but she had overslept last night and completely forgotten about it.
She quickly washed her face and brushed her teeth. As she descended the stairs with her handbag, she was still vigorously spraying sunscreen all over herself.
There was no way around it, going bare-faced was fine, but without sunscreen, she would be charred by the strong ultraviolet rays in such a place.
As soon as she stepped out, Lu Xiao just happened to be instructing his team on the day’s mission. The team members burst into smiles, revealing their bright teeth and bellowed, “Sister-in-law, hello!”
Wen Xian felt embarrassed immediately, and with Lu Xiao’s attention on her, his dark eyes hinted at a taunting meaning she couldn’t quite grasp.
Understanding his implication, she passed behind him and boldly slapped his lean buttocks, hissing through clenched teeth, “Why didn’t you come up last night, Lu Xiao, I really despise you!”
Without waiting to see Captain’s reaction, she hurriedly took off.
Yet as she departed, she felt as if someone’s gaze was boring into her back!
The next second, she heard the man behind her command in a strong, low chuckle, “Got the mission clear, right? Move out!”
“Yes!” came the resounding, unified voices of the team members.
As Wen Xian left the compound and looked back, her body instantly tensed.
All the team members were geared up and rushing to the vehicles, ready to board. She didn’t know what they were up to, but Lu Xiao—
—was in the midst of the crowd, lighting a cigarette as he walked over. When he raised his head again, his gaze, unfortunately, collided with hers.
Smoke billowed from his nostrils.
As the smoke wafted away, she seemed to see him lightly licking his teeth, his typically cold eyes squinting slightly, adding an indescribable wickedness to his aura.
He exuded danger from head to toe!
With just one look, Wen Xian felt goosebumps all over her body. With so many people around, he wouldn’t be able to do anything to her, right?!
Their departure included three vehicles with ten men in total, all armed with guns due to the nature of their mission.
As Lu Xiao saw that almost everyone had boarded, his gaze swept to a team member still in the yard chatting with a girl; he suddenly shouted the man’s name.
Helpless due to the urgent mission, Sang Nian said to the daughter of Ah Ma’s family, “Jin Zhu, wait for me to come back and explain!”
But just as he was about to head to the off-road vehicle, he was suddenly stopped by Lu Xiao.
Sang Nian panicked, awkwardly coming over.
Lu Xiao bellowed, “What’s the matter with you, a grown man always sticking around women, have you no ambition? Can’t you see that all these people are waiting for you?!”
Sang Nian trembled under the scolding, wondering why the boss was in such a bad mood today.
After finishing his scolding, Lu Xiao waved him away and coldly said to the woman beside him, “You, come with me!”
Sang Nian watched as Wen Xian followed behind him: “…??”
What fun are you having with this double standard, Boss?
