Tangling with the Western Commander

Chapter 246: Chapter 243: Rainy Night

But, Wen Xian, I love you.

As that declaration fell, it seemed to dissipate into the wind and merge with the rain curtain.

…

Under the curtain of rain, he lowered his head and pressed against hers, his arms clutching her waist.

She was still intermittently sobbing, resisting him.

But in the end, she slowly succumbed within his tight grasp, in that increasingly lethal tenderness…

Under the curtain of rain, the silhouettes of the two merged with the surrounding darkness as one.

He lowered his head, deeply, taking.

Not knowing how much time had passed, he picked her up and walked towards the off-road vehicle.

The black night pressed low, dark and heavy as if a vast net spanned the sky, ready to swallow everything.

Hearts plummeted into that icy abyss.

Wen Xian’s body was drenched by the rain, her wet hair clinging to her pale cheeks, droplets of water clinging to her dense eyelashes, her eyes still red as she looked at him and slowly began to speak, her voice thick with nasal congestion:

“What does this mean… We’ve broken up, what right do you have to do this to me…”

Lu Xiao’s stern face was covered in rainwater, which he wiped off carelessly. When he looked at her again, he suppressed the restlessness in his heart and stared with his chilling, unfathomable black eyes, “First leave with me, we’ll talk later.”

After leaving, he would discuss this matter properly with her!

As he spoke, he moved to open the car door and carry her inside.

Wen Xian gritted her teeth and tearfully struggled free, “I don’t need you to worry about me…!”

As she attempted to run away, she was abruptly caught around the waist from behind by a long, powerful arm.

“Bang–”

Her shoulder blades hit squarely against the car door frame, emitting a dull thud.

“Have you had enough!? If you disappear in a place like this, you will only cause trouble for others!”

He suddenly spoke sternly and seriously, grasping her wrists in both hands and pinning them beside her head.

As these words struck home, they seemed to hit a sensitive nerve in her, causing her lashes to tremble slightly and a mist to shimmer in her eyes. She slowly said, “Yes… If I disappeared, I’d only cause trouble for you, Captain Lu, wasting your energy and time…”

Lu Xiao’s pupils constricted.

Wen Xian’s eyes, red and teary, wore a mocking smile, “So it turns out… I am just that to you…”

At this moment, no one knew what was going through the depths of her heart as she looked at him with tears in her eyes, a look of lingering affection mixed with an indescribable resentment.

She slowly spoke again with moisture veiled eyes, which seemingly obscured some thoughts in her heart, the corners of her lips curling up in a scornful smile, “I was mistaken about someone, what is there about you that’s worth my affection? Rest assured, from now on, I will do as you wish, break up, and completely cut off any thoughts I had of you.”

With each word falling heavily, his pupils narrowed abruptly, his brows furrowed, fists clenched tightly.

What did she say…? Cut off thoughts… of him?

Wen Xian looked into his eyes, which had turned piercingly cold, and felt his chilling presence as if the last glimmer of light in her dewy eyes also faded away.

She looked down, her eyelashes trembling, tears falling, as she murmured softly:

“Then let this be our parting, wide and clear. I’ll no longer be in your way. There are plenty of people who want to sleep with me. I’ll go find someone right now–ah…!”

Towards the end of her words, just as she tried to move away, she suddenly let out a pain-filled groan…!
