Tangling with the Western Commander-Chapter 535 - 532

Her boyfriend had left her here all alone.

So, her gaze flickered, and she casually sighed:

"It’s fine to see things clearly. Are you hungry? What would you like to eat? I’ll go down and scrounge something up for you."

It wasn’t her place to meddle in someone else’s relationship, especially that of a stranger, so it was best to avoid the subject whenever possible.

As she spoke, she was about to turn around and leave.

But at that moment, the woman behind her slowly uttered, "What about you... will you be mean to me?"

The question caught Wen Xian off guard, making her stumble, almost hitting her head against the wall.

What, what did she mean by that?

She didn’t quite understand what the woman was getting at.

She turned around, bewildered, and looked at her, "Why would you say that? Why would I be mean to you?"

As long as she didn’t steal her man, everything was negotiable.

The frail woman lying on the bed behind her looked at her, smiled softly, and a glimmer flickered in her eyes, "That’s good..."

Wen Xian was thoroughly confused for the first time, unable to grasp the other person’s meaning, and walked out in a daze.

However, when she reached the doorway, she suddenly stopped, looked over at the delicate beauty lying in the hospital bed, and asked, "By the way, what is your name?"

The woman looked at her, her eyes gentle, and clearly articulated:

"Ruan Yiyi."

...

As Wen Xian muttered her name under her breath, she had already left.

For some reason, perhaps owing to a woman’s keen sixth sense, she couldn’t shake the feeling that the appearance of this woman wasn’t as straightforward as it seemed.

Although everything appeared perfectly normal, it was precisely that normality that made her feel something was off.

Wen Xian couldn’t figure out why, so she decided to let it go for now.

She had gone downstairs to fetch something for the "Yiyi" upstairs, but seeing that her grandmother had just come up with everything needed, she decided not to go back up and instead sat downstairs with them to celebrate the New Year.

Her timing was perfect when she went down; the TV hosts were just about to start the countdown.

The moment Wen Xian appeared, Lu Xiao caught sight of her.

After she walked over, Lu Xiao said indifferently, "I thought you had forgotten you said you’d welcome the New Year with me."

Upon hearing that, Wen Xian’s heart skipped a beat. She had actually forgotten.

But how could she admit such a thing? She just laughed awkwardly, "What are you talking about? How could I forget you?"

Lu Xiao: "..."

Unheeded.

Wen Xian awkwardly touched her nose. What was going on? Why did it feel like Captain Lu was a bit jealous?

Right then, the countdown began. Everyone at the dining table started shouting along, raising their bottles of beer. Wen Xian joined in the excitement, counting down aloud, "Three, two..."

One!

As the last word fell, she turned her head and sealed his lips with hers.

Lu Xiao stood there, stunned.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment. Surrounded by so many familiar teammates, in full view of everyone, she had actually—

The onlookers erupted into shouts and screams, with Zha Xi and the others yelling loudly, "Captain! This is a New Year’s kiss!"

Sang Nian whistled, "My sister-in-law is so cool! Aside from my sister-in-law, who else in this room dares to kiss the Captain?"

Everyone roared with laughter. Who would dare, they joked.

Lu Xiao, however, found himself blushing for once due to their teasing, and could no longer sit still.

The next second, he suddenly stood up, pulling Wen Xian to her feet and headed upstairs.
