Tangling with the Western Commander

Chapter 349: Chapter 346 Chapter 349: Chapter 346 Lu Xiao stretched out his arms, and instantly, her little head leaned in, resting on his strong, firm arms.

The two of them lay side by side, facing each other, embraced.

They were so close that their breaths mingled together.

Wen Xian felt that this sensation was wonderful; they always spent more time apart than together. In fact, just lying on the bed like this, quietly watching each other, made her completely content.

“Why did you call me?”

She asked.

At her words, Lu Xiao did not speak, but just looked at her, his eyes brimming with tenderness.

He now seemed to truly understand what his mother had once said about what it feels like to have a ‘wife warming the bed’.

She waited for him in bed, warming his spot, then moved inside to give him the warmed-up spot.

But as a strong man, how could he really be cold? It was just that feeling of being cared for and cherished that was very pleasant.

Wen Xian clung to him like an octopus; she didn’t know how this man could be so warm, almost melting her.

She rarely wanted to pull away a bit, but Lu Xiao then clasped her waist, keeping her pressed against him.

Wen Xian: “…”

Noticing his subtle movement, sweetness surged in her heart, and then she slowly said:
“Lu Xiao, do you know? Actually, today when you went to see off Shen Lin, Mom secretly told me that if we were to follow the old ancestral customs, I shouldn’t have slept with you today.”

As she spoke, Lu Xiao’s heart trembled suddenly.

What… what…?

Wen Xian continued:
“Don’t think too much about it. Mom just thinks it might affect me since we aren’t really married yet. She’s considering my well-being, but she also said, seeing how hard it is for us to be together, she couldn’t bear to make us stay apart.”

So, they would leave it as it is, not getting involved.

When she finished speaking, Lu Xiao didn’t quite know what to feel.

Indeed, seeing each other was truly difficult.

Now that he was back, he didn’t know what might cause him to leave immediately again.

And her words also made him think of what Shen Lin had said that evening.

He said he was getting married, and whenever it seemed right, he would come back from the Uninhabited Area in the west.

Truth be told, with his previous experience, he could have been a commander and continued to climb the ranks.

But that meant no more field missions.

One ear’s tympanic membrane was torn, completely deaf; others might think he fled to the Uninhabited Area to avoid everything, but he knew himself.

He just wanted to be on the frontline when danger arose to provide aid.

In the past, it was fighting against drug lords and dangerous criminals, now just against poachers.

Essentially, there was no difference.

It was all about saving lives.

But now, he was also starting a family; how should he balance the two?

For him, both were very important.

Seeing his brow furrow slightly, Wen Xian suddenly leaned in and quickly kissed his chin.

Lu Xiao was startled, and the next second he heard her say:
“Don’t overthink it. Many times, what seems like a dead end often turns out to be ‘Beyond the dark and dreary, there lies brightness anew’, and opportunities arise.”

Yes, everything around him was continuously operating, changing. Perhaps at some point in the future, all problems would be solved.

Lu Xiao: “…”

He tightened his arms around her a little more.

Unable to resist, he leaned in and left a tender touch between her brows and eyes.

But when he slowly began to speak again, his voice became somewhat hoarse:
“If you won’t let me wear clothes, shouldn’t you also be fair?”
