Tangling with the Western Commander-Chapter 537 - 534

He was probably the most, no, the luckiest man in the world.

...

Snowflakes drifting, north wind howling.

The night of passion was not going as smoothly as planned; just when a certain man was in high spirits, a knock on the door suddenly came.

Both of them stiffened. Wen Xian bit her lip, beads of sweat forming on her forehead, yet she didn’t dare to make a sound, enduring with all her might.

And Captain wasn’t doing any better; his blood was still burning hot throughout his body.

From outside came the worried voice of his mother, "Captain, Miss Wen, I’m afraid the girl might not be doing so well. Perhaps you should come and take a look."

At those words, Wen Xian’s heart leapt, and she thought of leaving immediately.

But Lu Xiao held her down by the shoulders and bit her deeply there.

Wen Xian let out a muffled cry in pain, about to hit him, but she was tightly restrained by him.

...

As Wen Xian slowly opened the door, her legs were weak and trembling.

Then, the tall figure of the man followed her out.

His whole presence was serious and cold, radiating a clear message: Keep away!

By comparison, Wen Xian was more worried about the woman, heading straight upstairs to the guest room where she rested.

Upon entering the guest room, Wen Xian smelled the scent of medicine, and the woman lying on the bed looked extremely weak, still clutching something in her hand.

It appeared to be some sort of inhalable medication.

"This...?"

After approaching, Wen Xian looked at the nanny.

"This poor girl," the nanny sighed, "she said she has congenital asthma, has to carry medicine with her everywhere she goes."

Continuing, she couldn’t help muttering, "Who knows what her boyfriend was thinking, leaving her all alone like this. It’s just irresponsible."

Wen Xian: "..."

Seeing the girl on the bed with her eyes slowly reddening, Wen Xian’s own eyes flickered slightly, then she turned and took the nanny’s hand, speaking softly, "It’s getting late, nanny, you better go and rest. Tomorrow is the first day of the New Year, there’s a lot to be done. I’ll keep watch here."

Indeed, with the woman in bed so frail, it wouldn’t be safe to leave her unattended in case something happened.

The nanny was getting on in years; she needed her rest.

And it wouldn’t be appropriate for a man to stay and watch over her.

At last the nanny nodded her head.

But as Wen Xian was seeing the nanny out, she saw Lu Xiao standing at the door in the hallway.

His brows were slightly furrowed, and he stood tall, seemingly lost in thought.

Upon seeing her come out, Lu Xiao blurted out a few words, "You go rest; I’ll keep watch here."

Wen Xian immediately protested loudly, "That’s not okay—"

But before she could finish, she realized her voice was too loud, then looking at him she whispered word by word: free𝑤ebnovel.com

"Don’t joke about being alone with a single woman."

It wasn’t that she didn’t trust him, but she just didn’t want Lu Xiao to stay.

He was concerned for her, but her possessiveness was still strong.

Unable to resist Wen Xian, Lu Xiao had to compromise.

In the end, Wen Xian told him to go rest, and she turned back into the room, ready to stay with the woman.

A healthy woman shouldn’t come to harm due to delayed care; they’d send her to the emergency station tomorrow.

Little did Wen Xian know, after she went in, Lu Xiao appeared to walk away.

However, in a short while, he somehow managed to bring a chair—
