Chapter 135: Chapter 132: Taking Her to Meet the Parents
That moment, breathing halted.
The next second, his warm breath and hoarse voice fell by her ear, “Mmm, I didn’t eat dinner, I’m hungry.”
Upon hearing this, Wen Xian’s body stiffened instantly.
Then, little by little, her earlobes turned red.
Just the literal meaning…?
She couldn’t overthink it.
After all, he was a serious, stern and strict Captain, what he said should be taken at face value.
Therefore, when she spoke again, her voice stuttered, “If, if you’re hungry, then I’ll go make some noodles for you to eat.”
Having said that, she gently pulled away his hand and hurriedly shuffled to the kitchen in her slippers.
Watching her slender figure quickly leave, his dark eyes became even more profound.
Then, he bent down and brought in all the food from the entryway.
Wen Xian’s kitchen was an open design; she was too busy and rarely cooked.
Lu Xiao opened her fridge and found it quite empty, which made him frown slightly.
Afterward, he unpacked the bags he had brought, placing everything in an orderly fashion, layer by layer.
She was just blanching tomatoes after washing them when she saw what he was doing, feeling somewhat ashamed, but beyond the embarrassment, she found herself filled with an indescribable feeling as she looked at Lu Xiao.
She was cooking, and he was organizing her fridge for her.
The two of them were in harmony and natural… as if they were a loving husband and wife.
At the thought of that word, Wen Xian’s heart trembled inexplicably.
Although the scene was beautiful, they each knew that it was as fleeting as a blossoming cactus flower, unlikely to last.
His work was still in Qinghai, where a stretch of territory needed his protection.
Wen Xian stirred the egg mixture, slightly lowering her eyelids to hide the touch of desolation and complexity deep within her eyes.
Remembering what he had said in the car earlier, she suddenly asked, “Lu Xiao, you said you didn’t come to Shanghai specifically for me, so what was it for…?”
If she hadn’t misheard, it seemed to be something related to his family?
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao gave a noncommittal hum, then spoke unhurriedly, “My father was hospitalized. He’s receiving treatment in Shanghai, and I came back to see him.”
At these words, Wen Xian’s eyes widened in surprise, “What, your dad, oh no, your dad is hospitalized!? Why didn’t you tell me earlier, how is he doing, is it serious, do you have enough money?!”
She was indeed worried; after all, that was Lu Xiao’s father.
Lu Xiao slightly raised his eyebrow.
But then, he closed the organized fridge and came over, saying indifferently, “He had a benign tumor, but it’s not a big problem, the surgery is already done, and he’s recovering well. He should be discharged in the next few days.”
Upon hearing this, Wen Xian quickly said, “Let’s go see him then, I’ll go with you.”
It was good that the person was okay, but this was happening in Shanghai, her territory, and he had been hospitalized. Even though it wasn’t very serious, it was something she felt obliged to do.
Lu Xiao, he, he was already considered her boyfriend, right?
Even if he hadn’t officially declared it.
But once she met his parents, wouldn’t their relationship take a step closer?
After Wen Xian finished speaking.
In his mind, he involuntarily recalled visiting his parents at the hospital, the scenes that unfolded in the hospital room…
He said he had a girlfriend, her name was Wen Xian.
Then there was Li Zaijun’s unapologetic mockery, accusing him of dreaming, of being insane.
The gentle mother looked at him in frustration, and even his father had hurled an ashtray at him…!
Lu Xiao fell silent for a moment, then when he spoke again, he simply said, “Okay.”
[Captain: Haha, our Lu Xiao is about to strut his stuff!]
