Tangling with the Western Commander

Chapter 239: Chapter 236: Fake Pregnancy, Framing Captain Lu?!

[“Sister Ling, tell me, what if one day, the man you really, really like wants to leave you? What would you do?”]

She knew this was just a hypothetical question, not real.

Yet after seeing Lu Xiao tonight, she suddenly became a bit unsettled.

She didn’t know what she was worried about.

After all, Lu Xiao obviously liked her too, even said he wanted to marry her.

Her cell phone vibrated again, and Sister Ling asked:

[“What, did you two break up?”]

Then, without waiting for her reply, another message came:

[“If you can accept the breakup, then there are plenty of fish in the sea; if you can’t, just play mind games. Haven’t you seen the antagonists in novels? Sleep with the male lead, get pregnant with his child, and if not, just fake it, force the man to comply. Unless he’s a heartless scumbag with no sense of responsibility!”]

Wen Xian just looked at the message Sister Ling had sent, and with a helpless smirk tugged at the corner of her mouth, she replied disdainfully:

[“Drop it, we’re fine. And even if we weren’t, I would never resort to such low, disgraceful, and despicable tactics! He’s a good man; I can’t deceive him!”]

Sister Ling immediately sent a line of question marks: [“???”]

Then she simply sent a voice message that lasted about a dozen seconds: “Heh, low? Disgraceful? Despicable? Axian, oh Axian, do you really think you’re a good person just because you’ve done a few good deeds?”

.co

In her opinion, the end for a truly good person is very tragic indeed!

Wen Xian looked at the message, cursed under her breath, and didn’t reply again.

What did that mean, why couldn’t she be a good person?

When she suddenly looked up again at that person, she found him standing at the elevator door, seemingly ready to leave.

Immediately, she hurriedly got up and went over.

“Wait, wait, are you leaving?”

Wen Xian asked anxiously from behind him after catching up.

The man paused upon hearing this.

Without turning around, his gaze drifted downward to the right and he casually said, “I’m going down for a smoke. If you’re busy, you can go ahead.”

With that, he stepped into the elevator first.

“Aren’t you going to walk me out if I leave?”

She blurted out almost instinctively, her heart suddenly squeezed tight.

Lu Xiao, standing in the elevator, looked at her with eyes as calm as they were intimidating, just staring at her: “Two members of my team are lying in there, I can’t leave.”

The statement seemed flawless, without any issues, and Wen Xian understood, but still, she felt there was something not quite right.

That inexplicable feeling made her panic.

So, just as the elevator doors were slowly closing and his gaze was about to disappear from her sight, her hand suddenly reached out, blocking the elevator.

At the same time, he quickly extended his own arm…!

The elevator doors opened again, and as she hastened inside, she saw Lu Xiao’s darkened face.

He took a deep breath, and seeming unable to hold back, he raised his voice at her:

“Do you have any idea how dangerous what you just did was!? If the elevator didn’t react in time and caught your hand, would you still want it!?”

Wen Xian stood in the elevator, letting him scold her, like an aggrieved and pitiful little wife, clutching the corner of her clothes, bowed her head, and said nothing.

Lu Xiao: “…”

He was so angry that his brows were tightly furrowed, but in the end, seeing her like that, his anger was forcibly suppressed.

As the elevator doors opened–
