Tangling with the Western Commander

Chapter 311: Chapter 308: Is She Pregnant? Chapter 311: Chapter 308: Is She Pregnant? And, as something else crossed his mind, he suddenly raised his hand and touched a certain spot on his neck.

Recalling the red mark he saw in the bathroom mirror, his face immediately darkened, and his lips pressed tightly together.

His entire being was enveloped in a terrifyingly low pressure.

Xiao Yixing had cleaned every corner of the room spotlessly before stopping, with no other option as he had a significant obsession with cleanliness.

When he finally collapsed into a chair in the room, he took a deep sigh, closed his eyes, and his fingers landed on the center of his forehead, pressing down heavily as he kneaded.

There was a hint of fatigue between his brows, as if he hadn’t rested well the night before.

Indeed.

He hadn’t slept much last night; instead, he had been taking care of him.

But this son of a bitch, upon waking up, looked at him as if he’d seen a ghost.

If he wasn’t mistaken, in his rush to leave, he hadn’t even zipped up his pants!

…

Downstairs, in the cafeteria.

Lu Xiao had already learned about her imminent departure.

Her phone screen hadn’t turned off earlier, and the WeChat conversation with her agent was still on display.

He happened to see it.

So now, watching Wen Xian sitting there quietly, not talking, bowing her head and sipping congee with a small spoon, a sharp sting of pain suddenly welled up inside him.

The quieter she was, the more his heart ached.

Because he knew he was an inadequate boyfriend, unable to stay by her side all the time.

He had everything here to protect, and tasks to attend to.

“Wen Xian.”

“…Hmm?”

She looked up slightly from her congee, puzzled.

Lu Xiao suddenly reached out and gently touched her cheek.

In an instant–
Wen Xian’s nose tingled, and large tears started to fall into the white congee with a plop.

She quickly brought her hand up to her forehead, not wanting him to see her losing control.

But how could Lu Xiao fail to see? Everything about her was completely visible in his eyes.

His heart clenched with pain, and his mouth filled with bitterness, yet he couldn’t find the words to say anything at the moment.

Wen Xian, however, quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and upon raising her head, she smiled faintly and softly said:
“I’m catching a flight tonight and will head to the airport in a bit.”

Besides the redness around her eyes, she seemed to show no other signs of distress.

Lu Xiao: “…”

Although he had known it all along, seeing her clearly so upset and reluctant, yet still smiling at him so easily, he felt even worse inside.

But he had no choice; he couldn’t go after her.

When he spoke again, his eyes were deeply fixed on her: “I’ve informed Mum and Dad about your trip to Beijing. There will be someone to pick you up from the family.”

Wen Xian’s heart trembled.

He knew?

Still, she shook her head slightly and whispered, “I must follow the filming crew’s schedule right now. I will visit your parents when I have the time.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao fell silent for a moment, then seriously said, “Wen Xian, they are our parents.”

Wen Xian: “…”

Just then, the cafeteria auntie came over.

She had simmered a mutton soup for nourishment.

“Xiaowen, I heard from Captain Lu that you’re feeling under the weather, maybe catching a cold. You should drink some mutton soup to drive away the chill.”

Wen Xian looked up at her and smiled sweetly, “Thank you, Auntie.”

However.

When she lowered her head and saw the rich mutton soup, flecked with oil droplets, the smell of meat suddenly wafted into her nose–
For some reason, she felt a sudden wave of nausea. She quickly turned her head and leaned over the table, covering her mouth as she retched.

The auntie’s face immediately changed, and she asked anxiously, “Xiaowen, what’s happened to you? You couldn’t possibly be…”
