Chapter 155: Chapter 152: Lu Xiao: I Miss You
He, too, was the coldest-looking person in the world, yet in truth, the most tender.
And she would always succumb to tenderness.
After Wen Xian’s words fell, the conference hall erupted, countless people screaming, chanting her name.
Yet she kept looking at the camera lens, a soft smile on her lips.
As if she was looking at him that way.
And in fact, it was indeed so.
Lu Xiao listened to all she said, watching her smile at him. His exterior showed nothing, but deep inside, his heart was trembling faintly.
And on the interconnected networks, everyone went crazy, eagerly wanting to know who that man was!
Who had such great merits and such tremendous charm.
Just that Wen Xian on the show probably had already guessed it would be .
So, in the end, she added softly with another gentle smile, “He’s just a great ordinary man, and I hope everyone won’t look into who he is, because he’s protecting this world, whereas by comparison, my wish is very small, very small.”
As she spoke, she paused, slowly dropping the last few words, “I just want to protect him.”
He was protecting the world, and she, protecting him.
That was probably a love confession more moving than ‘I love you’. After that line, the atmosphere in the conference reached a climax. Even as she bowed her head and smiled, retreating from the stage, the applause and screams inside lasted for a long time.
At a certain moment, something seemed to well up deep inside him like a surging tide, quickly overwhelming his body, spreading to every limb, and when he moved even slightly, his back instantly heated up.
He clenched his hand, his gaze deep and inscrutable.
Nobody knew what he was thinking at that moment.
At this time, those young men in his jurisdiction looked at their boss and couldn’t help but howl and pounce on him.
“Boss! You’re amazing!! Sister Xian confessed to you in front of the whole country, ah ah ah!” Sang Nian excitedly wrapped around his neck, shaking him.
“Ahh, I want sister-in-law’s autograph! Autographs!” The other guys were even more excited!
Zha Xi was not to be outdone, pinching his throat to imitate Wen Xian’s voice: “My wish is very small, I just want to protect Captain Lu~”
Lu Xiao seemed to have had enough and, with the corner of his eye twitching, he kicked the deliberately exaggerated Zha Xi: “Scram…!”
Afterward, he pulled Sang Nian off his back, only to be tackled by even more people, and a group tousle ensued.
Yet in this process, the cold air around Lu Xiao seemed to have dissipated.
Not only that, but at some point, the corners of his lips seemed to curve up lightly, too.
The guys, still excited and messing around for a while, were really getting out of hand for Lu Xiao.
At that moment, his phone suddenly rang.
Lu Xiao quickly took this opportunity to escape from them, pushed open the door, and went out into the yard of the jurisdiction area.
He looked at the lotus avatar on the screen of his phone that had sent a voice message, then took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.
On the other end of the line, after a moment of silence, suddenly a familiar, melodious, and sweet voice sounded.
Lu Xiao was silent for a moment, then let out a faint hum through his breath.
Then, as that sound fell, her laughter came from the other side.
She kept laughing, laugh so much that his ears started to heat up.
He suddenly called her name.
Wen Xian gradually stopped laughing: “Hmm? What’s up, my dear darling.”
Lu Xiao: “I miss you.”
