Tangling with the Western Commander

Chapter 182: Chapter 179: Checkup

As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Xiao was taken aback.

He forcibly grasped her shoulders and turned her around. His lips lightly pursed, his expression was incredibly calm and serious as he said,

“Don’t talk nonsense. She’s mistaken me for someone else. There’s nothing like that; I don’t even know her.”

His mind was on the wound on her forehead. He didn’t want to waste time on these baseless issues.

After speaking, he directly lifted her chin, staring at the scrape on her forehead: “How did this happen? You look so pale. Did someone bully you?”

It had to be said, seeing her go from high-spirited to this disheveled state weighed on him like a boulder on his heart.

It was both painful and suffocating.

He could vaguely guess how she might have gotten hurt.

Wen Xian, however, pushed his hand away, wiped her face, and with an evasive gaze, seemed intent on pressing the previous issue,

“Don’t change the subject. Do you really think I won’t be angry just because you say that?”

With that, she muttered softly, “The other girl sees you as a potential match and really likes you…”

She was more than angry; she was overcome with jealousy. The man she had been longing for appeared after many days, only to turn up as another woman’s would-be suitor.

Moreover, her whole body was in pain, and her head was spinning.

Was she not upset, not heartbroken, as if something was stuck in her throat, thorns in her back?

But of course, she knew that Lu Xiao was completely unaware.

Hearing her say this, Lu Xiao took a deep breath, seemingly at a loss for what to do.

When he turned her around again, he said, “That’s someone else’s business; what does it have to do with me? There are plenty of people who like you. Am I supposed to kill them all!?”

At these words, Wen Xian was left speechless, with no grounds to argue, deprived of the right to rebut.

“Don’t think nonsense all day long. I already have a girlfriend; I only want her, no one else matters to me.”

While talking, Lu Xiao spotted a small medical kit inside the tent, walked over to pick it up, opened it, and prepared to disinfect and treat her wound again.

Just her, the one person…?

Wen Xian watched his actions, listened to his solemn words, and felt a slight ripple in her heart. The look in her eyes softened a bit, and the corners of her lips tugged slightly.

When Lu Xiao pursed his lips, his expression serious as he picked up a cotton swab and iodine to disinfect her wound, she didn’t dodge it.@@novelbin@@

“Was it from filming?”

Though it was a question, his tone was very assertive.

The iodine stung Wen Xian’s forehead, causing her to hiss sharply and inhale a breath of cold air, her brow furrowing tightly.

However, when she spoke again, her gaze still flickered slightly: “No, I just accidentally bumped into something.”

Angry as she was, there were some things she really didn’t dare let him know.

Lu Xiao remained silent, his brow knitted, not saying anything further, it’s unclear whether he believed what she said.

Only after applying a bandage,

he suddenly said, “Lift up your clothes.”

At these words, Wen Xian was instantly startled, thinking she must have misheard.

She looked at Lu Xiao in astonishment: “W-what for…?”

Yet he looked utterly serious, his icy demeanor starkly earnest, his dark, piercing eyes devoid of any hint of lust.

“I need to check the other areas.”

“Ah, there’s no need for that…” Her body was marred with wounds.

But in the next second, without further words, he reached out. Startled, Wen Xian’s knees gave way, and she fell down.

Her face was directly in front of his… black, casual pants.
