Tangling with the Western Commander

Chapter 343: Chapter 340 Chapter 343: Chapter 340 He had never paid attention to celebrities, but she indeed was a hot commodity, the National Goddess. This time, it was his turn to be anxious.

No matter what, he had to put a ring on her finger.

Moreover, since he met her, he had become blind to other women. In the past, he couldn’t see other women, and from now on, he wouldn’t see other women either–only her.

It was only her, like a poppy seed that took root and sprouted in his heart, causing him to become deeply addicted.

Both Lu Xiao’s father and Lu Xiao were men of few words, so it was fortunate that Shen Lin was there to chat with Lu Xiao’s father and liven up the atmosphere.

Wen Xian, probably feeling guilty because of her pregnancy, didn’t dare to speak much, afraid of being asked anything.

She simply stood up, gracefully and politely pouring a cup of tea for Lu Xiao’s father.

Lu Xiao’s father smiled and thanked her, then looked at Wen Xian and said gently:
“Have you been busy with filming lately? I heard from Lu Xiao that you just came back from Qinghai. It must have been tough filming there.”

As he spoke, his tone paused briefly before he continued:
“But now that you’re in Beijing, it’s a different story. You can come live at home during this time, and we’ll arrange for a car to pick you up and drop you off for your shoots.”

Wen Xian’s face warmed for a moment. She glanced at Lu Xiao and said with a submissive, little woman-like demeanor, “Thank you, Uncle. But now that Lu Xiao is back, I will listen to him. Wherever he is, I’ll be there.”

Lu Xiao: “…”

A slight smile played on his lips, and his heart felt as if it was filled to the brim.

Shen Lin revealed an awkward yet polite smile: “…”

What had he done wrong to deserve such a direct hit?

In the midst of their conversation, the dinner was ready, and Lu Xiao’s mother also sat down, next to Lu Xiao’s father on one side and next to Wen Xian on the other.

Lu Xiao’s mother, looking at her tall, handsome son and her beautiful and intelligent daughter-in-law, felt as if her heart was about to burst with joy.

She was delighted, and everything seemed perfect. She quickly started to serve Wen Xian some dishes.

Lu Xiao’s father spoke up, “We’re all family here, so please don’t be shy. Your Aunt doesn’t cook often, only a few times a year; this time, eat a little more.”

“Oh, why mention that? If Xiaoxian wants to eat, I can cook for her every day.”

She truly liked Wen Xian and often watched her dramas with her friends.

Beautiful, intelligent, and outstanding, she wasn’t just a celebrity–she also started her own company. But these weren’t the most important things.

In the chaotic entertainment industry, she always kept her integrity, maintained a cool and rational mind, and remained untainted.

It’s worth noting how rare that is.

After all, marriage is not child’s play. Otherwise, would they really let their son randomly pick someone from the street to marry?

One could only say she was very fortunate.

Aside from her son liking Wen Xian, she liked her too.

In the spacious courtyard house, night lamps hung on the corridor, and thick white snow accumulated on the branches and the blue roof tiles. Outside, the temperature had dropped to nearly minus twenty degrees.

But inside the house,
it was filled with joy and a warm, cheerful atmosphere.

Initially, Wen Xian was somewhat restrained–after all, this was Lu Xiao’s parents’ home. But she soon relaxed, especially because Lu Xiao’s father, who seemed stern and severe outside, was quite approachable at this moment.

After all, the way one treats strangers and one’s own daughter-in-law is certainly different.

Time trickled by.

Towards the end of the meal, Wen Xian was already full, but Lu Xiao’s mother was still eager to serve her another chicken leg from the silkie chicken, “Eat a little more, you can’t eat so little just because you have to film. Otherwise, you won’t get enough nutrition, and the baby in your belly—-”
