Tangling with the Western Commander

Chapter 170: Chapter 167: Captain Lu’s Major Angry Scene!

As soon as she said that, Lu Xiao: “…”

When he spoke again, his voice was faint as he murmured an acknowledgment, his tone deep: “I can find him, but don’t think that this will make me overlook the fact that he is a man.”

“Ha? A man, you’re not only overestimating him, but underestimating me. You don’t know that actually, there are some women chasing—” me.

Before she could finish the last word, Wen Xian hurriedly snapped her mouth shut.

“Some women chasing what?”

Lu Xiao slowed down the car, his eyes like the evening sky, gradually settling into a dark hue.

His face was devoid of any expression.

Feeling the icy gaze sweeping over from beside her, she quickly averted her eyes, chuckled dryly, and said, “What else could they chase? They’re just calling me ‘hubby’. But you don’t have to worry; those are just fans, and that’s how fans address me, as a term of endearment, but privately I don’t even know them…”

By the end of her explanation, her voice had dwindled into a mumble.

Lu Xiao looked away, huffed coldly, and said nothing.

Wen Xian’s back felt cold. What to do, she had already irritated him before they even separated.

Lu Xiao drove sternly, and Wen Xian’s fingers attempted the same tactic, quietly reaching out to grab his sleeve.

But to her surprise, he simply lifted his arm, dodging her touch, and continued to focus on driving.

His face was impassive, his whole demeanor exuded an unwelcoming chill.

It was over.

Wen Xian slapped her thigh, sighing, what to do, how to mollify an offended beloved boyfriend? In need of urgent rescue online, pretty urgent.

Lu Xiao faintly pursed his lips, his eyes clouded over with frost.

He was not familiar with her circle, but he trusted her.

Yet he was aware that her words were true, not only did men chase her, one even followed her to Qinghai to accompany her filming, and there were even women chasing her.

Captain Lu’s temples throbbed at the thought.

Flames seemed to leap from the depths of his heart, ready to incinerate everything.

But anger aside, Wen Xian still reported the general area where Huo Qi had been earlier.

Lu Xiao said nothing.

Out of options, Wen Xian quietly sent a message to her manager, Sister Ling:

[Sister Ling, what to do when a man gets hugely jealous and fired up?]

Sister Ling replied promptly: [? Do I even need to say, sister, extinguish his fire, if once isn’t enough, do it twice, if twice isn’t enough, then three times.]

Wen Xian looked at the message: “…”

She swallowed slightly.

She would have liked to, but her body wasn’t permitting it, hesitant, she sent another message: [What about sending a red packet? Seems like that’s how men usually placate women.]@@novelbin@@

To her surprise, Sister Ling suddenly shot back: [Are you an ATM?]

Wen Xian was stunned.

The next second, her phone vibrated again: [Does money come out as soon as a card is inserted?]

Wen Xian’s face suddenly stiffened: “…”

Indeed, the older ginger is the hotter.

For some reason, at that moment, Wen Xian suddenly remembered what Lu Xiao had told her back in Shanghai…

Don’t just give money to men.

After silently putting away her phone, the out-of-options Wen Xian raised her hand and faked a slap on her own face.

“Ah, when will this mouth of mine stop making my dear sweetheart angry.”

She said in a lament.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words fell,

Lu Xiao didn’t even glance her way, only remarking with indifference, “Sounds fake, didn’t hit yourself, did you?”

Wen Xian: “…”
