Tangling with the Western Commander-Chapter 553 - 550

He touched the tip of his nose and resigned himself to fate.

However, Ga Zhuo could only helplessly laugh, saying, "What a pity, just a little bit more and she would have been my sister-in-law. Anyway, I don’t have much to ask this kid. Sister-in-law, you help me ask him instead."

Wen Xian raised an eyebrow, clearly delighted.

"Sure, no problem."

With that, she couldn’t help but glance at Little Jin Zhu before looking at Sang Nian, directly asking with a smile, "Tell me, Xiaonian, you’re 18 or 19 and of age now, do you have a girl you like?"

As soon as she said this, everyone immediately started to tease, and some couldn’t help but glance at Jin Zhu.

Sang Nian didn’t expect to be hit with such a question right off the bat, which caused his ears to burn.

In the midst of the teasing, he couldn’t help but glance at someone and quickly looked away.

Only because, he had just met her gaze.

In the end, under everyone’s urging, he hummed a quiet affirmation, "I do."

He had a girl he liked.

"Where is she then?"

Wen Xian hurriedly asked, wanting to deliberately probe him.

Sang Nian fell silent for a moment, then spoke, "That’s another question altogether, I won’t answer."

Everyone immediately let out a sigh of disappointment, commenting on how cunning the kid was, refusing to give even a single extra answer.

While Sang Nian was responding to the question, Little Jin Zhu sat diagonally from him, head lowered as if indifferent, but in reality, she clenched her little fists tightly, hiding the nervousness in her heart.

The bottle started spinning again, this time set in motion by Sang Nian.

And this time, it pointed to Zha Xi, a result that made him stiffen slightly.

Zha Xi smiled and chose truth. His teammates, driven by gossip, urged him to reveal his romantic situation as well, but Sang Nian remained silent, not bringing up matters of the heart. Instead, he directly posed the question:

"Brother Zha Xi, in the years that you have been with our boss, do you have anything you want to say to our Captain?"

Lu Xiao and Wen Xian looked at each other, and then Lu Xiao’s gaze tenderly shifted to Zha Xi.

One after another, the teammates praised the question, smiling but with serious expressions.

Zha Xi’s eyes held unwavering gratitude and admiration for Lu Xiao. He said: ƒrēenovelkiss.com

"Whether it was the Captain saving me during missions, or later when sister-in-law drove to take care of the people who wanted to kill me, I just want to say, without them, I wouldn’t be alive today.

When my mother suffered a stroke and was hospitalized, it was the Captain who helped me out in private..."

At this point, he took a deep breath, "So, from now on, my life belongs to our Captain Lu. I will serve with all my might until my dying breath."

This speech deeply touched everyone, for there wasn’t a single one among them who hadn’t received the Captain’s care.

So, spurred by emotion, Ga Zhuo poured himself a cup of rice wine and raised his glass, loudly saying:

"Here, I propose we all toast to Captain Lu, to thank him for his selfless dedication over the years! Thank you Captain Lu for all the contributions you’ve made here—!"

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up, raised their glasses towards Lu Xiao, and proclaimed loudly, "Captain, you’ve worked hard, this cup’s for you!"

This scene made Wen Xian’s heart flutter, and amidst the moved feelings, there was also an inexplicable sense of a sour nose.

And at that moment, Lu Xiao also stood up, what he was thinking at that instant no one knew. After watching them toast, he spoke in a low, resolute voice:

"The journey ahead is long for each of you, and what I’ve done is merely my duty, nothing more—
