Tangling with the Western Commander

Chapter 312: Chapter 309 Chapter 312: Chapter 309 The words that followed, his mother wanted to speak but dared not, as this was not something to be taken lightly.

Wen Xian covered her mouth and retched a couple of times, and only then did her complexion gradually soothe. Breathing slightly, she clutched her chest and slowly said:
“…It’s nothing, just some discomfort in my stomach, probably gastroenteritis.”

Lu Xiao’s expression was grave, his eyes filled with profound concern for her as he said directly:
“I’ll carry you upstairs to rest first, and get you some medicine. If you’re feeling unwell today, you shouldn’t leave.”

This statement was serious; nothing mattered more than her health.

Wen Xian’s face was pale; she wanted to say something but ended up saying nothing, allowing him to carry her upstairs. Hooking her arm around his neck, she leaned into him with dependent affection.

The truth was she really didn’t want to leave, but she had no choice.

Leaving sooner or later, she had to leave.

It was always going to happen.

After resting for a while upstairs, Wen Xian looked much better. She felt it was just intermittent.

So she decided to leave, not to delay the progress of the crew.

Lu Xiao checked several times to confirm her forehead wasn’t hot before he went to pack her luggage, carefully packing everything including her personal clothing.

This departure included not only Wen Xian but also Huo Qi.

This time, it was Huo Qi’s driver and assistant that came to pick them up. They had already switched to an SUV here, so they headed straight for the airport.

Lu Xiao had intended to see her off but received a sudden phone call informing him that Zha Xi’s mother had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. As the Captain, he went immediately to help transport her to emergency hospital care.

Lu Xiao also feared any accidents, since Zha Xi’s mother was his only remaining relative in this world.

The two of them depended on each other, each being the other’s pillar.

When they parted, Wen Xian lowered the car window and smiled at him, urging him to hurry to the important matters and not worry about her.

She would call him upon her arrival.

Outside the jurisdiction, due to the snow last night, it was all white during the day.

His dark figure thus became all the more striking, standing like a pine amidst the snow.

Lu Xiao did not respond to her words and just stood there, watching her car gradually leave the jurisdiction, her figure slowly vanishing from his sight.

Eventually, he too got into an SUV, but it headed in the opposite direction from hers, the distance between them growing ever larger.

…

In the car heading to the airport.

Wen Xian was almost lying on the back seat, watching his figure completely disappear before she slowly retracted her gaze.

Huo Qi sat in the passenger seat, turned his head to look back at her, and could hardly bear to see her like this.

“Seriously, Xianxian–”
Huo Qi was just about to say something when he saw the tears brimming in her eyes and dripping down, and he immediately widened his eyes, rendered speechless.

His heart also felt all sorts of discomfort.

Ultimately, he simply took a few tissues from the nearby box and turned to give them to her:
“Quickly, wipe it off, don’t cry, you’re grown up, even I haven’t cried over my heartbreak, and you’re crying just from a goodbye!”

Dammit, how could he not feel sour!

He had wanted to have a serious talk with her about this, or maybe ignore her for a few months, but he never expected to fail within just a day!

The woman he had pursued for so many years was taken by some guy from the Uninhabited Area, and he wanted to cry too!

Who is going to comfort him!
