Chapter 760: Chapter 757
As these words were spoken, the spacious living room suddenly fell silent.
Wen Xian was stunned and glanced at her husband.
Lu Xiao swept his gaze across the room, first looking at Li Zaijun and then turning to Shen Lin, his tone light, “What, you want to ask me something?”
Shen Lin chuckled nervously, “No, I didn’t ask anyth—”
“He’s asking when you’re leaving.” Before he could finish, the husband-bashing Li Zaijun spoke up.
At these words, the air was suddenly filled with silence.
It seemed like even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard.
Shen Lin nearly crushed his teeth in frustration and turned away, wiping his face.
His fists were clenched tight.
Wen Xian sat on the sofa and couldn’t help but cough lightly.
She looked at Lu Xiao and saw him staring intently at Shen Lin, his gaze somewhat sharp.
You can’t say it wasn’t awkward, being disliked by the host like that.
The air fell into a strange silence.
She nudged Lu Xiao and leaned in, “Husband, I just remembered I still have something to do, shall we leave first?”
Lu Xiao’s lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but Wen Xian pinched his waist first, stopping him from saying more and signaling him with her eyes.
Little sister is grown up.
She has her own life now. This is a matter between her and her boyfriend; how could he intervene?
She needs to grow up sometime, and besides, Shen Lin is a decent person, thoroughly trustworthy, with his character and capabilities both vouched for.
Under his wife’s urging, Lu Xiao finally held back.
Then, without saying anything else, he simply picked up his coat, got up, and Wen Xian quickly stood up as well, saying with a smile,
“If that’s the case, we’ll be leaving first.
As these words fell, awkward or not, Shen Lin still breathed a slight sigh of relief.
But the next second, they heard Lu Xiao say,
“Xiaojun is coming back with me.”
Li Zaijun jumped up, looked at Shen Lin, and said bewilderedly, “Oh… okay…”
Shen Lin, feeling helpless, walked over and grabbed her wrist, “I’ll take you back to school; it’s too late. Let your brother and the others go back by themselves.”
Wen Xian knew exactly what Lu Xiao was thinking, and she took his hand and firmly pulled him out of Shen Lin’s house.
“We’ll be going now, Xiaojun, you take care.”
After Wen Xian said this with a smile, she directly closed the door.
Lu Xiao’s expression was still rather serious, his lips slightly pursed, unsure whether it was out of concern or whatnot.
Wen Xian sighed softly,
“Stop worrying about them, your sister is all grown up now.”
Lu Xiao fell silent for a moment, then said:
“What if something happens between them?”
The question came from a straightforward and stubborn older brother.
Upon hearing this, Wen Xian immediately thought of the previous phone call with Li Zaijun, when she heard Shen Lin’s words—
“Why didn’t you answer my call!? What, you think you can sleep with me and not take responsibility?”
Her expression gradually became more nuanced.
Despite the romantic candlelit dinner and whatnot that Shen Lin arranged today, seeming so proactive, the message in that phone call was decidedly…
Little Zaijun was the first to take the initiative.
To be more straightforward, she was the one who reached out her little devil’s claws to him.
So, how could he, her brother, cut off his sister’s path to happiness (or sexuality)?
The two of them still left.
Meanwhile, in the spacious apartment,
Li Zaijun frantically put on her coat, grabbed a small backpack, and said to him,
“If it’s not too inconvenient, can you drive me? If not, it’s okay, I can go on my own.”
She was about to leave,
but after just a few steps, she suddenly exclaimed.
