Tangling with the Western Commander-Chapter 290 - 287: This Man Hooks Her Heart Tightly

Chapter 290: Chapter 287: This Man Hooks Her Heart Tightly

Hurting her and making her sad, deep down, was actually because he was afraid of dragging her into danger, an accident—everything was still all about considering her safety.

When Wen Xian looked up again, her eyes carried an indescribable shade of shyness, and the anger that had been in her heart had finally subsided.

At that moment,

Someone came out, frequently glancing over here.

Wen Xian cast her eyes down and pushed him away, her face flushed as she muttered, “I don’t understand what you’re saying. I have nothing to do with you now.”

Saying that, she left first.

This time, Lu Xiao didn’t stop her; instead, he just watched her retreating back, his gaze deep and filled with tenderness.

In the end, a slight smile spread across his lips.

That curve was extraordinarily charming.

Later, during the meal with everyone, it was pretty normal, Wen Xian didn’t behave too presumptuously with him.

Some people in the production crew faintly sensed that Wen Xian and the Rescue Team Captain, Lu Xiao, had an unusual relationship, but without concrete evidence, they weren’t in a position to say anything.

Moreover, since Producer Cheng, the “official” boyfriend, hadn’t said anything, they could only pretend nothing had happened.

In the evening,

Wen Xian was still looking forward to picking fruits with Lu Xiao, waiting for him to initiate the invite, but unexpectedly, when she came out with two bunches of washed grapes, Lu Xiao had disappeared.

As she looked around, Sister Ling, seeing her, came over and told her,

“Stop looking, he’s already left. He didn’t have the chance to tell you earlier; someone is trapped in the mountains, and he had to go for a rescue mission. He asked me to tell you if I saw you.”

Upon hearing this, Wen Xian felt a sudden heaviness in her heart.

The sparkle previously in her eyes gradually faded away.

He had said he would take her to the grove to pick fruits, just the two of them, but now in a blink of an eye, he was gone.

A complex emotion surged in Wen Xian’s heart, and although she wasn’t necessarily despondent, she knew he had more important things to attend to.

At that moment, Sister Ling nonchalantly took a bunch of grapes from her hand, popping one into her mouth, and muttering as she looked at her,

“What’s this about? You’re so easy to influence emotionally by someone else.”

Wen Xian’s lips reluctantly curved slightly,

“Yes, since he’s my man, who else should I worry about? He’s gone to save someone now, and who knows which troublemaker has ventured into the mountains?”

The mountains held too many unknowns and risks, and even though he came from a special forces background, she still worried.

Because no one knows which will come first, tomorrow or an accident.

Hearing this, Sister Ling also shook her head silently, indeed, only those close to someone risking their lives on the frontline would feel anxious like this.

Ordinary people, who doesn’t mind their own business and keep out, and there are even those who intentionally stir up trouble.

But at the moment, she seemed to think of something, nudged the silent Wen Xian, and suddenly said with a deep meaning,

“Actually, I was curious about what kind of man had hooked you. I didn’t expect it to be such a man. And don’t tell me, Captain Lu really does have a good figure; no wonder he has you so completely.”

Wen Xian had fallen for such a man, which was beyond her expectations, yet within them too.

She lacked a sense of security, having struggled in the dark swamp for too long, and upon meeting this mature, steady, calm, and upright man, Sister Ling fully understood why Wen Xian would like him.

Hearing this, countless images of the two entangled immediately tumbled through Wen Xian’s mind.
