Tangling with the Western Commander-Chapter 546 - 543

Lu Xiao pulled out a tissue, gazing at her rosy lips with serious and tender eyes. He gently reached over to wipe her face and slowly said:

"Wen Xian, do you like it here or not?"

This unexpected question made Wen Xian pause, before replying, "Like it, of course I like it."

Here, far from the hustle and bustle of the big city, it felt like being cut off from the world, without anyone to disturb her. There was only tranquility, beautiful scenery, and Lu Xiao.

"Why would you ask that all of a sudden?"

Wen Xian raised her eyebrows and asked him.

But a flicker passed through the depths of Lu Xiao’s eyes as he remained silent for a moment.

This place was indeed lovely, but he knew better than anyone that, as nice as it was, it wasn’t suitable for living here permanently.

Coming here for a holiday to relax was one thing, but to live here all the time, making her world revolve only around him, would be sheer selfishness.

He hoped she would have her own social circle, her own interests, her own work, and not give up and sacrifice so much for him.

And now, observing the hint of confusion in Wen Xian’s eyes, Lu Xiao spoke with a gentle voice: freēwēbηovel.c૦m

"Don’t overthink it, Wen Xian; we still have to go back and prepare for the wedding."

They planned to return to prepare for the wedding. In fact, they could have left after capturing Li Tingze, and could even have gone back to their home in Beijing for the New Year’s Eve.

But he hadn’t, choosing instead to spend it with her in Qinghai, in the jurisdiction of Kekexili.

Because, he didn’t have many days left here.

Perhaps, this was his last New Year’s Eve spent here.

Wen Xian knew the wedding would definitely take place, but she wasn’t sure when it would be and hadn’t expected that after leaving Qinghai, they would go to Beijing to prepare for the wedding.

She tentatively asked, "Really? Are you not busy anymore?"

She was still thinking that he might have a lot of work to handle.

Lu Xiao sighed softly, "Wen Xian, I am only getting married once in my life."

He deserved that time.

Wen Xian looked at him, and gradually, a smile began to curve her lips.

Her eyes shone with laughter.

Yes, Captain Lu was getting married just this once in his life.

"What a coincidence, so am I."

Lu Xiao: "..."

In fact, Wen Xian didn’t know whether her work could accommodate the timing. The National Wildlife Conservation Association had already told her that their itinerary was set for the waters off the Philippines.

But for now, it was one step at a time; thinking about leaving Lu Xiao left her with an unpleasant feeling.

After eating, Wen Xian helped Lu Xiao clean up.

Since it was a rare treat to have grilled fish, she ate a lot, and Lu Xiao planned to take her out for a walk to digest.

Once both were bundled up, they left the house. Lu Xiao held her small hand, and their figures gradually receded into the distance, heading into the woods.

There was a boardwalk in the forest leading towards the mountain, which also offered a view of the mountainscape.

However, Wen Xian stopped in the woods before they reached the mountain because she unexpectedly discovered mushrooms growing on the trees. She had always thought mushrooms only grew in the summer and was surprised to find them at this time.

Wen Xian quickly pointed them out to Lu Xiao and dashed over.

Lu Xiao followed her and remarked, "Mushrooms grow in all four seasons; that’s not unusual."

Some mushrooms are very cold-hardy; besides, spring had arrived, even though the temperatures were still not high.

"Are these poisonous or not?"

Wen Xian wanted to pick some but hesitated in her heart.

Making mushroom soup when they got back sounded good too—
