Tangling with the Western Commander

Chapter 332: Chapter 329 Chapter 332: Chapter 329 “She’s not a child; it shouldn’t be that exaggerated.”

Upon entering the north gate, they were in the main hall where Lu Xiao’s mother quickly asked her to take off her clothes and take a hot bath in Lu Xiao’s room to get some good rest.

After a good sleep, they prepared dinner.

Faced with Lu Xiao’s overly enthusiastic mother, Wen Xian clearly found it hard to cope but felt awkward to ask why exactly.

Because once she did ask, she didn’t know how to address Lu Xiao’s mother. Could she really start calling her… Mom?

Wouldn’t that seem a bit too forward?

Lu Xiao lived in the eastern wing of the house.

After arriving in his room,
“Xiaoxian, mom won’t bother you anymore; go inside and rest well, I’ll make you something delicious,” she said.

After his mother left, Wen Xian finally took a deep breath, closed the door, and then rubbed her cheeks, which were stiff from smiling.

My goodness.

Why did she feel more and more that something was not quite right?

Today, when they were at the teahouse club, she went with Lu Xiao’s parents to another private room.

After sitting down there, Lu Xiao’s parents’ friends were very warm towards her, and they had already started discussing the wedding.

This made her, who usually had thick skin, feel both embarrassed and shy.

They even mentioned children, making her so uncomfortable that she had to step out for some air.

Truthfully, though she loved Lu Xiao and wanted to marry him and have children with him eventually,
wasn’t all this happening too fast?

Discussing marriage after just half a year.

Did Lu Xiao know about all this?

Thinking of him, Wen Xian slowly turned around, looking at everything in the room, and felt a subtle sensation rising in her heart again.

The room was spacious, and although it was a historic siheyuan, it followed the architectural culture of the ancestors, making the house warm in winter and cool in summer.

Although the courtyard outside looked very classical, the interior was renovated.

A blending of modern and vintage.

The floor was made of dark wood, and there was a large wooden bed likely chosen by a tough man, hence there was only a thin mattress, followed by bed sheets and a quilt.

An independent bathroom, wardrobe, desk, and chairs.

All basic amenities.

Simplistic and understated, his room bore the no-nonsense style of the military.

However, she didn’t know what she saw on the desk that instantly drew her attention, leading her to walk over step by step.

On the desk lay several family portraits.

His family was a typical family of three.

In one of the photos, a tall and noble young man in military uniform was standing alongside a gentle and beautiful young woman, and she was holding a cute little boy in her arms.

Probably around two or three years old, he wore little overalls and an English-style plaid beret.

Utterly adorable, with delicate features, irresistibly charming.

When Wen Xian saw that picture, her heart almost melted.

Because she recognized him at a glance, it was Lu Xiao as a child.

Back then, he was so small, milky, and adorable; it was hard to believe that he would one day become a stern and aloof captain.

Gazing at the photo, Wen Xian couldn’t help but reveal a sweet smile on her lips.

Her fingers couldn’t resist gently touching it, wondering if the child she might have would resemble him…

Then,
as this thought flashed by, Wen Xian realized what she was thinking and was momentarily stunned.

Pregnancy had always been something she resisted, until–
