Chapter 299: Chapter 296: Protecting to the Bed
Following that, Lu Xiao glanced at Huo Qi with a tone that was neither cold nor warm, “There are rooms upstairs, fend for yourself.”
Having said that, he also went upstairs.
He just stared at the two figures, then turned to look at Xiao Yixing.
Finally, he walked over and sat down on the sofa next to him.
Huo Qi’s gaze still lingered on the staircase, but his knee accidentally bumped into the knee of the man beside him.
“Hey? Buddy, I want to ask you something.”
Xiao Yixing, whose knee was suddenly bumped: “…”
He frowned slightly, put down the book he was holding, and said expressionlessly, “What is it.”
His tone was chilly as if he was quite displeased to be abruptly interrupted like that.
But Huo Qi seemed not to notice, he lifted his hand to point at the staircase, his elegant eyebrows slightly raised, “Do you think there’s something… off about them?”
At these words, Xiao Yixing took a deep breath, closed the book, and slightly lifted his eyelids, too lazy to even glance at him, “What’s off about it.”
“He’s just a bodyguard, how can he seem so close to the woman he’s supposed to protect, is he overstepping his bounds?”
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong!
He kept recalling how he had seen Wen Xian clinging to him earlier.
Wen Xian’s arms around his neck, her head resting in his embrace, she looked utterly coy like a clingy little woman.
Such intimacy, he had never seen before.
Rigth now, a very disturbing thought was beginning to emerge in his mind.
He suddenly feared that he might have brought a wolf into the house.
Back in Shanghai, he had taken a liking to him at first sight because he looked fit and seemed capable of fighting, able to protect Wen Xian.
Musing on their behavior, could it be that in the guise of protection, things had escalated… to the bed!?
He quickly dismissed this filthy thought from his mind. Impossible.
Why would Wen Xian fall for an ordinary bodyguard like him.
Aside from a good physique.
However, while he was lost in his chaotic thoughts, the man beside him suddenly spoke up indifferently:
“Bodyguard? Lu Xiao?”
“Who else would it be?” Huo Qi said.
Xiao Yixing pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, and then came a biting remark, “I don’t know why you say he is a bodyguard, in my territory, he is the Captain.”
The captain of this territory!?
Leaning against the sofa, Xiao Yixing resumed reading his book and hummed nonchalantly, “This is his territory.”
Upon hearing this, Huo Qi froze…!
This place, his territory, he is the captain of this area…!
Then if that’s the case, then he’s not Wu Yanzu’s bodyguard at all!!
When he appeared in Shanghai—
Could it be, he had come all the way from Qinghai just to find her?
Something dawned on Huo Qi, and he suddenly held his breath, his dark and slender lashes trembling slightly.
A rush of information flashed through his mind, like dominoes tumbling one after the other, connecting images and facts together.
And it made his entire mindset start to crumble.
When Wen Xian went on a self-driving tour to Qinghai, he said that she seemed distracted upon her return, as if her heart was elsewhere.
He always suspected some unknown man, and that man was the captain of this territory—Lu Xiao!?
Later he went to Shanghai, looking for her…?
Putting all these pieces together, when Huo Qi thought of everything he had done in the midst of it all, his entire person suddenly—
