Tangling with the Western Commander

Chapter 380: Chapter 377

Talking about it is useless now.

Wen Xian sighed helplessly and, regardless of so many people around her, ran straight towards Lu Xiao.

But what did she see?

Just as she was running towards him, she saw him turn his body away.

He continued smoking, seeming as though he didn’t recognize her, showing no reaction to her approaching.

Seeing this, Wen Xian’s heart trembled suddenly, as if the most sensitive part of her had been struck.

It wasn’t that she was hurt, but rather, she suddenly felt heartache.

Heartache for him.

Because she had told him many times to be careful of the paparazzi nearby; she couldn’t be photographed together with him alone or it would cause trouble.

So, seeing her running towards him, that was his response.

He had been waiting for her, not knowing how long he’d stood there in the cold, and when he finally saw her, he avoided her without a trace.

It made her feel an indescribable bitterness.

Sister Ling and Li Xun were both shrewd people; during that visit to the teahouse club, they couldn’t have been more aware of Lu Xiao’s high-profile identity.

With his mysterious and prominent background, it was even less convenient to be known by the media.

So, to cover up the traces of their affair, when Wen Xian approached, they all went up together to find Lu Xiao.

With more people around, even if the paparazzi caught something, there would be nothing to say.

Wen Xian rushed over and stood directly in front of him, asking urgently and worriedly,

“Why are you standing here, in such cold weather? Aren’t you afraid of catching a cold?”

Lu Xiao looked at her with her long hair scattered and strands sticking to her cheeks because of the wind.

He subconsciously reached out to help her fix it, but his hand froze midway upon realizing something.

He then withdrew his hand, glanced at the people from the crew, and when he looked back at her, he said,

“You have an event tonight, right? My phone ran out of battery.”

He guessed that she must have sent him a message.

But Wen Xian cursed under her breath, looking at Li Xun, as Sister Ling also approached, she glared at the director Li Xun with a hint of complaint,

“It’s all his fault for arranging a gathering and making it imperative for me to show my face and attend.”

Upon hearing this, Li Xun immediately started to laugh sheepishly and greeted Lu Xiao,

“Bro, don’t mind it, okay? Just borrowing your girlfriend for a bit.”

Lu Xiao remained expressionless and blurted out, “You’re older than me.”

Li Xun: “…”

Suddenly, it felt like countless little arrows had struck his heart.

Wen Xian saw Lu Xiao’s ears, red from the chill, and her heart ached for him.

Suppressing the urge to go warm them for him, she said directly to him,

“Come with us, it’s not much of a difference with or without you there.”

As she spoke, she deliberately looked at Li Xun, “Right, Director?”

Li Xun: “…”

He chuckled awkwardly, his expression slightly complex.

He really was in a difficult position now, having accepted an investment of eight million from President Li for promotional expenses, and having promised to arrange this meeting today.

Although he hadn’t explicitly stated his intentions, that money was specifically targeted because of Wen Xian’s face, so the implication was clear to everyone, wasn’t it?

He had thought it would just be a dinner, a simple set-up, no big deal.

The two would just meet, and the rest would be up to them.

But he never expected that if Wen Xian’s boyfriend, Lu Xiao, were to also attend…

The thought of his powerful background sent a chill down his spine, and he shivered slightly.

If it were to be known that there was a CEO at the gathering, coming specifically for his girlfriend…
