Tangling with the Western Commander

Chapter 78: Chapter 138: You Asked for This

Lu Xiao: “…”

Unbelievable, her candid words made him press his hand to his forehead, his ears also beginning to feel hot as he fought hard to suppress every agitated cell inside him.

When he looked at her again, he took a deep breath and said, “Do you realize when you speak like that, it seems like you want to be with me just for my body?”

“What else―”

Seeing the gaze suddenly sweep over from him, Wen Xian’s words caught in her throat, and instead, she let out a dry laugh:

“Hehe, of course not, what I love most about you is your soul, your integrity, your…”

Lu Xiao couldn’t listen any longer to her deliberate flattery and reached out to cover her mouth.

But Wen Xian just smiled radiantly at him, loving someone, even if the mouth is blocked, it still shines through the eyes.

Her eyes looked as though they were filled with spring water, exceptionally captivating. Lu Xiao felt his back inexplicably warm up and his eyes deepen.

She was truly tormenting.

He felt that he couldn’t stay any longer; otherwise, it was just torturing himself, so he turned to get out of the bed.

But as soon as he was about to leave, his back was suddenly embraced by a pair of slim, fair arms from behind.

Her soft body pressed tightly against his broad, muscular back.

“…”

How could anyone withstand this?

“Lu Xiao, don’t go…”

Her voice was so gentle, hoarse from just waking up, as she held him from behind.

For that moment, Lu Xiao truly understood why it has always been said that even heroes struggle to surmount the allure of a beautiful woman.

All his cold, proud demeanor, his unyielding and iron-blooded spirit, in her presence, all melted into tender compliance.

The white curtains at the floor-to-ceiling window fluttered gently.

Shanghai had sunshine today.

Slowly rising from among the undulating skyline of tall buildings, gradually illuminating The Bund in glittering waves, golden rays streaming across the sky.

An airplane flew across the sky, framed against the golden sun, appearing incredibly tiny yet so awe-inspiring, seemingly dazzling the man’s eyes.

Captain’s back was straight.

His waist was lean and powerful.

His jaw was resolute and perfect.

His fists were clenched.

And he, at this moment, was completely hers.

At noon, Lu Xiao cooked two steak fillets and made a rich lamb and goji berry soup to nourish her, and after cleaning up, they prepared to go to the hospital.

They were supposed to leave in the morning, but only now were they heading out, who knows what happened this morning.

Wen Xian originally wanted to wear a silk blouse, but looking in the mirror at the marks on her neck, she felt immediately shy and frustrated.

How was she to cover those?

Lu Xiao had everything ready, one hand tucked in his pocket, his back straight as he stood in the living room talking on the phone.

Wen Xian walked over, annoyed, and invited him to see the trouble he had created.

As Lu Xiao watched her come over, showing him the tender marks on her neck while still on the phone, his gaze deepened.

Then, after he hummed lightly into the phone, he suddenly pulled her wrist, covered the phone’s receiver with one hand, and murmured a few hoarse words into her ears:

“You asked for it.”
