Chapter 165: Chapter 162: Can’t Bear to Let Her Suffer with Him
At lunch, Wen Xian’s appearance once again caused a sensation.
The young n from the jurisdiction were all excited and flushed as they greeted her, but unlike before, this ti when they opened their mouths, they all uniformly called her “sister-in-law!”
They called it with such relief, such sweetness.
“Sister-in-law, why are you here again? Do you miss us too much?”
“Nonsense, she obviously can’t bear to leave our boss.”
Lu Xiao’s gaze swept towards the two team mbers lining up for food behind him, and imdiately they each held back their laughter, coughing repeatedly.
Wen Xian also smiled, her eyes bright, glanced at Lu Xiao and spoke bluntly,
“As the girlfriend of your captain, how can I let him face you guys alone here every day? He must miss a lot.”
A team mber snorted involuntarily but imdiately covered his mouth, fearing that laughing out loud might warrant a kick from their boss.
Yet, this ti Lu Xiao said nothing, just squeezed her hand a bit harder.
Wen Xian smiled and held his hand back.
At the canteen table, Ga Zhuo and Zha Xi also ca over.
Setting down his tray, Ga Zhuo sat down and said, “Boss, you must know about the professor’s situation, right? He’s coming tomorrow, and the higher-ups have asked us to go et him, his na is―”
Lu Xiao, wiping the corner of his mouth with a napkin, gravely continued,
“Xiao Yixing, a fellow of the National Directly-affiliated Science Academy. We will organize a small team later. For the period he is visiting us, if he goes out for field inspections, follow and ensure his safety.”
The matter was then assigned to Ga Zhuo to handle the next day’s eting.
After the al, outside the jurisdiction compound.
Lu Xiao was smoking, one hand in his pocket, head down, back still as straight as a rod.
When Wen Xian ca out and saw his posture, sothing inexplicably trembled inside her.
Why did she feel like he was troubled about sothing?
When she approached him, she didn’t ask but lightly laughed and said,
“Where’s that little wolf-dog from the yard? Not seeing it barking at feels unusual now.”
Seeing it now, she would make sure it understood the dangers of society, and see if Lu Xiao would still protect it.
Lu Xiao slightly furrowed his brow, “Maybe Old Li took him out to have fun.”
Wen Xian: “…”
She was about to say sothing when she saw Lu Xiao press his lips together then look at her seriously and say,
“Wen Xian, although I’m happy you ca to find , don’t you know I’d rather have you continue with your own affairs and not be affected because of ?”
Truly, she shouldn’t give up her life and work in the big city to suffer here with him.
He didn’t want that.
At that, Wen Xian looked at him and suddenly smiled.
Her eyes softened, flickering with faint starlight, her heart quivering gently as well.
This really was the man she had chosen.
“Why are you laughing? This is serious, I’m talking earnestly with you, don’t take it lightly—”
“I’m going to shoot a film in Qinghai.”
She interrupted him before he could finish.
Lu Xiao instantly paused, his pupils slightly frozen, “What did you say?”
Wen Xian continued to smile, looking at him earnestly,
“Lu Xiao, I’ve taken a script from a renowned director. He’s going to shoot a movie in Qinghai, thed around the local nature, animals, and cultural preservation. I found it very interesting, so I accepted the role. Plus, I heard that this movie is even going to be submitted to international competitions.”
She stated solemnly, as if her decision to take the script was solely based on her interest and desire to win an award.
Hearing all this, Lu Xiao: “…”
