Chapter 140: Chapter 137: I Will Only Protect You
He knew nothing of others, nor had he been with anyone else.
But after meeting Wen Xian, she seemed intelligent, yet she was foolish when her heart fluttered for someone.
Willing to fall into peril for a man, disregarding her own life
Willing to give a man her money, not scrutinizing whether he lied or not.
When he made her a bowl of brown sugar ginger soup, she would say he was really kind.
But she didn’t know, not every man in this world was him.
Whether during training or on the battlefield, if they were deceived by the enemy’s disguise, what awaited them was defeat, was death.
Wen Xian listened vaguely to these words, her heart trembled slightly, as if she didn’t quite understand.
Her voice was weak as she asked, “Why, why say this… will you hurt me?”
Lu Xiao: “…”
She then slowly continued, “…Actually, I’m not afraid, Lu Xiao, because I know it’s you, so I know, you won’t hurt me…”
Although she was seldom loved, she didn’t want cheap love.
Only Lu Xiao, and only he could.
Better to have none than something inferior.
As her gentle words fell, his body stiffened.
His long, clear eyes looked at her, becoming deeper and deeper.
Outside, the rain continued to drizzle down, shrouding the entire city in a curtain of rain.
Inside, under the soft light, she lay on the couch, nestled in his arms, covered with a blanket.
In contrast, everything seemed so comforting, tranquil.
That moment, she also heard the words he whispered in her ear.
“I will only protect you,”
Wen Xian, I will only protect you.
That was the promise he made to her.
Wen Xian was utterly captivated.
She fell into his embrace, and into that intoxicating tenderness.
That kind of reassuring solidity was unprecedented.
Wen Xian didn’t know when she had fallen asleep, just that in her daze, it felt as though a burning hot hand was pressing gently against her stomach.
Making her body gradually warm up.
Lu Xiao watched her cheek nuzzle against him in his arms, watched her peacefully beautiful sleeping face, and he delicately adjusted the damp hair on her forehead…
After a silent moment, he carefully picked her up and left the living room.
…
…
The next day.
When Wen Xian slightly opened her sleepy eyes, what she saw was the man’s chest dressed in a smoke-grey velveteen top.
She was startled for a moment, not immediately understanding the scene.
Wen Xian hadn’t expected to be held by Lu Xiao like this, sleeping through the night.
She had gone to sleep early last night because of stomach pain, and now it was only five in the morning.
She lightly lifted her head, and saw the man’s firm and perfect jawline.
Slightly pursed lips, a prominent nose, and long eyebrows.
He really was very handsome, very masculine, even in sleep, his brows were slightly furrowed, giving him a serious look.
Wen Xian gazed at him, her eyes suddenly becoming inexplicably infatuated.
Her slender fingers couldn’t help but slowly move closer, wanting to lightly touch his cheek.
However, just as she was about to touch his jaw, her hand was suddenly grasped.
The man opened his eyes, his eyelashes lowered to look at her.
Their gazes collided in the early morning light.
Neither of them spoke.
Wen Xian looked at her small hand held in his, and felt herself being looked at, making her ears suddenly turn red.
“Lu Xiao.”
“Hmm?”
She slightly shifted her gaze, then spoke in a soft voice, “…What should I do, I regret not sleeping next to you.”
