Tangling with the Western Commander

Chapter 266: Chapter 263: Jealous!

That was a black car, probably with tinted windows.

The windows’ high reflectivity from the film meant that one could only see out from the inside, while those outside couldn’t see in.

Wen Xian felt something, her brows knitting slightly as she looked toward the car window.

The person inside the car was also looking at her.

Even though she couldn’t see anything, she felt as if there was something inside the black car watching her, drawing her in.

“What’s wrong?”

Cheng Dongyuan’s gaze followed suit.

Wen Xian shook her head, retracting her gaze, “It’s nothing, let’s go. I want to check out the place ahead.”

With that, she walked away.

Cheng Dongyuan also followed her but took one last look at the direction of the black car before leaving.

Once they had left, the man inside the car finally relaxed his taut frame as if he had let go of all his strength, slumping powerlessly against the chair.

Sang Nian was right after all…

During her illness, it was that man who stayed by her side.

During the lowest points of her career, still, it was he who cared for her beside her.

When she was vulnerable, he wasn’t there beside her, and perhaps from now on, she wouldn’t need him anymore.

But…

This was all he had wanted to see, wasn’t it?

He had hoped that she could stay away from him, live well, in peace, without constant worry.

But now.

Watching that scene, he realized the one trapped in it, unable to extricate himself from the pain, unable to move on, was himself.

It was he who kept seeing her every time he opened or closed his eyes, his mind filled with her.

At the street stall ahead, an elderly couple was selling naan bread filled with lamb meat, which smelled delicious.

Wen Xian hadn’t felt much appetite these past few days because of her health issues, but now, for the first time, she craved something to eat.

Under the warm hospitality of the elderly couple, she sat on a small stool, looking at the view ahead while enjoying the naan in her hands.

No one knew.

At that moment, what she was thinking.

Maybe, she was still waiting, hoping that he would come to find her.

Regardless of whether she would forgive him or not.

Had he really made up his mind to not see her ever again?

She was right here; if he came, he would see her.

Whether she was pregnant or not, that was another matter…

After all, it was a plan that could only be implemented after at least a month or two.

Wen Xian, deeply immersed in her thoughts, didn’t notice where Cheng Dongyuan had gone, nor did she look behind her.

Cheng Dongyuan had paid for three naan breads at the stall.

Then, carrying one individually bagged, he walked back to the place they had just passed by.

Eventually, he stopped at the window of the black car.

He knocked on the window.

After a moment, the car window slowly lowered.

Cheng Dongyuan saw right away the person sitting in the driver’s seat.

His gaze remained fixated ahead, his sharp facial profile betraying no emotion.

“It’s really you,” Cheng Dongyuan said, shaking his head slightly as he looked up at Wen Xian, who was still sitting on the stool, eating her naan bread.

Then he reached his hand through the lowered window, unlocked the car door from inside, opened it, and crouched down to get in.

With the car door closed again, the atmosphere inside instantly tensed up.

Cheng Dongyuan offered him a naan, and when it wasn’t accepted, he placed it by the handbrake and then said, “She really likes eating this, you should try it.”

Lu Xiao: “…”

He’s telling me what she likes to eat?
