Tangling with the Western Commander-Chapter 190 - 187: You are my man!

Chapter 190: Chapter 187: You are my man!

Lu Xiao’s heart stalled again, and overwhelmed with myriad of complex emotions, they all flooded his heart at once.

He just stared at her, gazing deeply with an obscure and indecipherable intensity.

Yet, in the end, he slowly created some distance between them and seriously said to her, “Wen Xian, now is not the time for jokes. Please, listen to me; you shouldn’t have come here.”

One vehicle was stuck, another damaged; everyone who could get on, did.

And him, he would certainly stay. There were team members who hadn’t boarded, and he couldn’t just leave them behind.

The moment Wen Xian heard his words, she just looked at him, tears streaming down profusely, her face pale, and her lips trembling as she asked, “…So, what then…? I shouldn’t, but should you guys stay? My man, he should stay here?”

...

Lu Xiao: “…”

The hands that held her arms tightened.

The wind disheveled her hair and her little face grew even paler. Her tears, like a kite with its string cut, continued as her voice trembled on:

“…I care, even if others don’t. That’s my man’s life, and I won’t leave you behind here no matter what!”

When those words fell, Lu Xiao’s heart shook violently.

He just looked at her, the depths of his dark, mysterious eyes swirling with a fierce tide, but ultimately, he forcefully suppressed it all.

At that moment, another person came down from the vehicle.

That person was Sang Nian.

Sang Nian fought against the wind and snow as he hurried over, the wind forcing his eyes almost shut. He quickly arrived beside the two, but when he saw his tearful Sister Xian, his chest tightened and he vaguely guessed what might have happened.

Breaking the silence, he managed a smile, trying to sound casual:

“Sister Xian, hurry and leave, it’s okay. The boss and I often face such situations; we’ll be fine. Uncle Ga Zhuo and the others will come back to pick us up soon.”

However, as soon as he spoke, he heard her, eyes reddened, voice hoarse as she retorted:

“Do you think I’m a fool! It takes several hours to get to the closest ‘No Service Zone.’ How could rescue possibly return so quickly?!”

Sang Nian’s expression immediately became rigid: “…”

But then, he saw her with red eyes, her voice resolute:

“Now go find them. Since my seat is empty, they shouldn’t have left yet. Go with them right away!”

Sang Nian was just an eighteen-year-old boy; in the city, that meant a high school student, a child.

Yet he insisted on staying back, letting the team members leave.

Compared to some others in the car, what were they even made of.

Wen Xian’s heart ached deeply. Finally, she bit her lip hard, turning her head away to hide the tears slipping from the corners of her eyes.

“Sister Xian, this isn’t right, you should—”

“How is it not right?! Your life matters too! Stop arguing with me and go find them now!”

She couldn’t hold back any longer and yelled hysterically.

Sang Nian: “…”

His face was wrought with difficulty as he looked at his boss for guidance.

Lu Xiao kept his gaze fixed on Wen Xian the whole time, his dark eyes mysterious and inscrutable.

Finally, when he spoke again, his gaze fell on Sang Nian and he slowly said, “You go ahead, go back with them first.”

“Boss!?” Sang Nian was stunned.

Lu Xiao’s eyes bore intently into her as he said, word for word, “She’s more stubborn than you are. Go ahead, I’ll take care of her.”

Sang Nian: “…”

The next second, Sang Nian watched as their boss picked up Sister Xian horizontally and carried her towards the vehicle amidst the storm—!
