Tangling with the Western Commander-Chapter 544 - 541

Yes, that’s true.

Skating was no big deal for him; many people could skate.

But Wen Xian couldn’t, and yet she was so happy just to have him teach her, such a trivial thing.

Lu Xiao’s skate blades changed direction on the ice, suddenly pulling Wen Xian into his arms.

Wen Xian let out a cry of surprise, crashing into his chest.

She instinctively held him tight, and Lu Xiao looked down, slowly whispering in her ear despite never being one for sweet nothings:

"Wen Xian, I will always love you, take care of you, be with you, until the end of my life..."

Wen Xian: "..."

She gazed at him, her eyelashes fluttering slowly, the tip of her nose suddenly feeling sour, and a layer of mist forming in her eyes.

She rested her head on his shoulder and hugged him lightly, "Husband, I love you."

He was her husband.

The man she loved for a lifetime, whom she would trust unwaveringly.

Days passed, and Wen Xian treasured every moment there.

When Lu Xiao had no missions, he stayed by her side.

Aside from reading and writing scripts, nothing made Wen Xian happier than cooking; she could make simple noodles before, but now her culinary skills had improved a lot, and she had even learned to bake bread.

The oven was made by Lu Xiao himself, placed against the wall at the corner of the yard; he painted an oven there.

After it dried, he added some firewood inside and heated it up to a scorching temperature.

At this point, Wen Xian would shape the already mixed and fermented starter and main dough evenly, place it on a baking tray, then Lu Xiao would help her put it in the oven and block the oven door.

The temperature inside was very high, and in less than an hour, when they took it out, there would be golden, fragrant baked bread.

Seeing herself succeed more with each attempt, Wen Xian was overjoyed.

In the morning, the two of them would eat the baked bread, spreading some butter on top, and in front of them on a plate, she would have a runny sunny-side-up egg, while Lu Xiao would have two.

For breakfast, they would drink warm milk, especially hers, which tasted like dates. Wen Xian didn’t like whole dates, so Lu Xiao would juice them for her and then mix it with milk to boil, helping to replenish her energy and blood.

After the meal, she would go upstairs to read by the small attic window and see Lu Xiao stepping out to the lake in front of them, apparently holding a shovel and other tools, making a hole in the ice.

Wen Xian didn’t know exactly what he was doing, but she just propped her chin on her hands, resting on the table, gazing adoringly at his figure.

So tall, handsome, capable of anything, a man with such strong hands-on skills, and he was her man; how wonderful.

Hormones surged.

Soon, Wen Xian found out what Lu Xiao was up to.

The fish in the lake grew plump in winter, and as soon as the hole was opened, they would compete to jump out for oxygen, and it was effortless for Lu Xiao to catch them.

In no time, there were quite a few fish in his little iron bucket.

Seeing Lu Xiao return, Wen Xian scampered downstairs.

As soon as the door opened, Wen Xian flung herself onto him and squealed with delight, "Our Captain Lu is just too amazing, catching so many fish!"

As she spoke, she hugged him and nibbled on him, leaving saliva all over his face and neck.

The Captain, unable to refuse such enthusiasm, could only laugh and say, "Alright, alright, I’ll cook some fish for you."

"How will you cook it?"

The craving hit Wen Xian as she looked at those plump fish, unable to resist—
