Chapter 457: Chapter 454
She froze for a moment.
She had seen this USB drive before but had always assumed it was something Sister Ling had given to her at some point.
What exactly was inside?
Thinking this, she simply took out her computer, inserted the USB drive into the port, and immediately a new file window popped up.
She opened the file, but discovered it required a password.
Wen Xian frowned. What the hell, could it be some sort of confidential document that needed a password?
With that thought, she straightforwardly made a call to Sister Ling.
However, after asking Sister Ling, she claimed she didn’t know anything about a USB drive and had never seen such a thing.
Now Wen Xian was puzzled. If it wasn’t Sister Ling’s and it wasn’t hers, then whose was it—Lu Xiao’s?
With that thought, she pulled out the USB drive and placed it on the table, planning to ask him about it later.
The sky gradually grew darker, and she had almost finished packing up, but Lu Xiao had not yet returned to his room. Her gaze fell once again on the USB drive, and she simply picked it up and went out.
Now, when Wen Xian saw Lu Xiao’s mother, she directly called her “Mom,” and casually learned from her that Lu Xiao was in his father’s study at the moment. Lu Xiao’s mother, with a smile, said that it had been a long time since father and son had had such a long conversation, that they should be almost finished by now, and told her to go straight there.
Upon hearing this, she straightforwardly headed towards the direction of the study.
Yet, as she approached the door, she faintly overheard some words that caused Wen Xian to furrow her brows slightly, stopping in her tracks.
Lu Xiao’s father’s voice carried an authoritative tone, “Think it through, what you’re doing could put you in danger of losing your life facing those people…”
The voices from the study were intermittent, and upon hearing those words, something inexplicably clenched in Wen Xian’s heart.
After that, she didn’t take another step forward; even ultimately, she slowly turned around and didn’t listen anymore.
Even though she vaguely guessed they were discussing something important, something that could concern Lu Xiao’s life, at that moment, she acted as if covering her ears to steal a bell, pretending that if she did not hear, she wouldn’t have to worry about him doing something dangerous.
Wen Xian’s heart was still in turmoil.
She was trying hard to control her emotions, telling herself not to worry too much, to trust Lu Xiao.
He was the man who always fought on the front lines; it was his selfless perseverance that had attracted her to him in the first place. Yet she knew that from the moment she chose him, she had to shoulder that worry and concern.
She had no choice but to trust him.
Her man was capable of anything; God would surely keep him safe, Ping’an.
The door of the study opened, and when Lu Xiao came out, he immediately saw Wen Xian’s figure leaning against the corridor not far away.
She was looking out the window.
Snow was falling outside, the sky had turned ink blue, and because New Year’s was soon approaching, the courtyard’s verandas were adorned with large, bright red carved lanterns, adding a warm red glow to the snowy evening outside.
Everything appeared serene and beautiful at that moment.
But inevitably, some people had to do dangerous things to protect it all.
Wen Xian took a soft breath deep inside, and then she heard footsteps approaching before finally looking over.
Lu Xiao walked over and tucked the stray stands of hair behind her ear, his gaze affectionate, “What are you doing standing here, waiting for me?”
Wen Xian smiled, not mentioning a word about what had just occurred.
The next second, she opened her palm to him and said—
