Tangling with the Western Commander-Chapter 531 - 528

Wen Xian said, "I’ll go with you."

Lu Xiao grabbed her shoulder, his tone firm, "Don’t say that. It’s not useful. Go inside, it’s cold out. We’ll be right back. The GPS shows it’s not far. I’ll try my best to be back before the new year."

After speaking, he urged her to hurry inside.

Wen Xian, at a loss for words, had no choice but to listen to him. However, as she watched him turn away, she still shouted after him, "We agreed, I’ll wait for you to ring in the new year!"

The group split into two, but Zha Xi was the last to leave.

When Sang Nian looked back unconsciously, he saw Zha Xi walk over to Jin Zhu and hand her something before he hurriedly caught up with the others.

Upon seeing this, Sang Nian clenched his fists tightly and got into the car, slamming the door a bit too forcefully.

The young man seemed to have grown sulky on his own.

Uncertain whether he was angry with others or himself.

Lu Xiao started the car, saw Sang Nian’s demeanor, and said nothing but casually remarked, "Just a friendly reminder, if the door is broken, it will cost several thousand to fix."

Sang Nian’s eye twitched slightly: "..."

Actually, the most joyful part of New Year’s Eve was having dinner together; even the television was moved over to the long table.

The TV was playing a New Year’s gala, featuring a comedy sketch.

However, after Lu Xiao and his team had left, the place immediately felt much colder.

The item Jin Zhu held in her hand was a lucky pouch, given to her by Zha Xi.

When Wen Xian asked, Jin Zhu whispered, "Brother Zha Xi said I have the college entrance exam this year, and he had his mother get this lucky pouch for me, supposedly to bless me with smooth sailing in the exams."

Upon hearing this, Wen Xian immediately laughed.

Sang Nian, oh Sang Nian, how could this naive boy compare to Zha Xi’s thoughtfulness?

It’s no wonder you’re upset.

But more so, you’re probably angry with yourself.

Angry that you don’t know how to make a girl happy, only knowing how to sulk.

There’s one thing she doesn’t know, but one thing she does. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

If Sang Nian continues this way without taking initiative, even if Jin Zhu likes him, someone else might steal her away one day.

Perhaps that would be the day when she is utterly disappointed in him.

...

Time ticked slowly away, and before long, it was already past eleven. Wen Xian couldn’t bring herself to watch TV anymore, constantly thinking about when Lu Xiao would return.

And, what woman might be missing.

How could someone just disappear on New Year’s Eve? Something wasn’t right.

However, just as midnight was about to arrive, the sound of a car and some bright headlights really did start sounding outside the jurisdiction area.

From the window, Wen Xian saw the flickering lights and immediately got up to go out, with Little Jin Zhu following to see if everyone was all right.

Wen Xian went out the door and didn’t see them come in right away.

She walked out of the courtyard and sure enough saw Lu Xiao getting out of an off-road vehicle, followed by Sang Nian from the passenger side.

Another car was behind them, carrying Zha Xi and another team member.

Wen Xian saw an off-road vehicle towing a white BMW SUV and couldn’t help but frown slightly.

"This..."

She walked up to Lu Xiao’s side.

Seeing him unharmed, she let out a breath of relief, but then she looked into the car, "Where is the woman? The woman?"

At these words, Lu Xiao glanced at the back seat but didn’t immediately reply to Wen Xian, instead calling out to Zha Xi and the others in front:

"Someone come over, get the person inside out and carry them in!"

Whoever could carry her would carry her; he certainly wouldn’t.
