Chapter 139: Chapter 136: Treating Her as a Daughter-in-law
She knew what kind of person Lu Xiao was, yet her possessiveness still subtly played tricks on her.
When Lu Xiao heard this, he slightly pursed his lips, and his words suddenly took on a hint of helplessness, “My mom.”
Having said that, he turned to leave. Yet, he hadn’t walked two steps when his footsteps suddenly paused and he faintly added a sentence, “…In the future, she will be our mom too.”
This light sentence carried an uneasy weight that made Wen Xian freeze completely.
She just blankly watched Lu Xiao’s tall figure receding, her raven-wing-like eyelashes slowly fluttering, and a light blush swiftly floated to her eyelids.
She was verbally poor, never proper, daring to say anything.
But those were her own feelings, her own wishful thinking.
But he was different.
Wen Xian’s heartbeat, after pausing for a moment, suddenly began to race.
Lu Xiao saying this… was he serious about considering her as his future wife?
Realizing something, Wen Xian tucked her small face into her robe, covering half of her face, as if she was afraid that others might see her lips stretch to her ears.
When Lu Xiao came back from the bedroom, he brought her a white blanket, “Cover your stomach and feet, can’t catch a cold.”
Wen Xian immediately nodded obediently like a kindergartener.
Lu Xiao now knew the kitchen ingredients better than her, and following the advice on the phone from his mom, he went to make some brown sugar ginger tea.
Watching his figure, Wen Xian’s heart was filled with an indescribable feeling, very full, very full.
It was as if, like a drifting leaf, after being repeatedly battered by wind and rain, she had finally found its root.
She needed to leave no more.
Wen Xian’s abdomen began to ache faintly, as she had eaten something cold at the western restaurant that night.
By the time Lu Xiao brought the freshly brewed potion, Wen Xian’s pale face was closed-eyed, her forehead’s hair dampened and clinging to her cheeks, radiating a frail beauty.
Lu Xiao sensed something was off.
Wen Xian felt as if all her strength had been drained, her abdomen began to twist in excruciating pain, causing her to uncontrollably curl up.
Hearing Lu Xiao’s voice, from between her lips slipped a faint voice, “…No, it’s nothing… just the old problem.”
Lacking blood and, due to overexertion in filming during her early years, even needing to shoot in water in the cold December, although the crew took precautions, it still made her lose all feeling from the cold.
She had no backing, desired to rely less on Dongyuan, and did not want to cling to others, so she could only endure it herself.
Seeing her , Lu Xiao furrowed his brow tightly, she was in this state and still telling him it was nothing?!
Wasn’t she afraid of pain? Wasn’t she the type who had to pretend to have something wrong so he would carry her when her ankle sprained?
But why, when it truly mattered, did she keep saying it was nothing?
The more Lu Xiao thought about it, the darker his expression became, clearly displaying a bit of anger.
Yet even so, when he picked her up and let her lean on him, his movements were even gentler, fearing to cause her discomfort.
He spoon-fed her the brown sugar ginger tea, blowing on it first lest it scald her.
Wen Xian obediently leaned against him, her eyes slightly moist, either from pain or something else.
When she spoke again, her voice was hoarse, “Lu Xiao… you are really good.”
No one had ever taken care of her before.
Lu Xiao was momentarily stunned, then after a brief silence, he seriously told her, sentence by sentence, “Wen Xian, you can never just look at how good someone can be to you, you need to see how bad they can be.”
Good can be pretended, but bad, can cost someone their life.
