Tangling with the Western Commander

Chapter 186: Chapter 183: Landlady Ruthlessly Torments Cheng Dongyuan!

Cheng Dongyuan was completely shocked; he hadn’t expected at all that this person would be him…!

This man was the bodyguard previously brought by Huo Qi to the western restaurant on The Bund in Shanghai to meet him and Wen Xian.

Although he had long suspected whether this man was really a bodyguard, now he was here.

“It’s me.”

Lu Xiao stared at him, his hand loosening and releasing Cheng Dongyuan’s wrist.

Yet, as he looked at the man before him, his expression suddenly turned a few degrees colder.

This was Wen Xian’s so-called ex-boyfriend, wasn’t it?

The next second, Lu Xiao’s gaze turned directly to Wen Xian.

But Wen Xian awkwardly forced out a smile and stammered, “He… he is Producer Cheng, the person in charge of our crew.”

Lu Xiao’s eyes on Wen Xian became even sharper: “…”

Did she think his memory was that bad?

Cheng Dongyuan, watching Lu Xiao, saw his expression becoming increasingly complicated.

Putting aside why he was here, in this moment, all his previous confusion and questions became clear… understood…

Obviously, the reason Wen Xian came to Qinghai to film was because of him.

The confession on live television in front of everyone, that too was for him.

She begged him for help, for cover, not wanting the media to notice, the person she was trying so hard to protect, it was still him…

After understanding all this, Cheng Dongyuan suddenly found he couldn’t speak anymore.

It seemed as if a bitter taste filled his mouth, and flames seemed to blanket his heart, burning unrestrained.

Cheng Dongyuan just looked at him, and even though his heart was tumultuous, when he spoke again, his face was calm: “Hello, I’m the person in charge of this crew.”

With that, he glanced at Wen Xian and said unhurriedly: “And I’m Wen Xian’s… ex-boyfriend.”

As soon as these words came out, Wen Xian: “…”

Damn it!

Was Cheng Dongyuan trying to send her to her doom?

Her feeble fists clenched tightly, she turned her head away and buried it into the pillow, as if she wanted to smother herself with it.

That Cheng Dongyuan was the person in charge of the filming on her side, she hadn’t dared to tell Lu Xiao at all.

Just with Huo Qi alone, he got angry, not to mention Cheng Dongyuan.

Wen Xian waited for Lu Xiao to explode, but instead of that, she heard Lu Xiao speak in a calm and steady voice:

“I know you’re her ex-boyfriend, she has told me all about your affairs, but the past is in the past, people need to look forward. I also want to thank you for taking care of her when I wasn’t around.”

At these words, Wen Xian: “…??”

What?

As Wen Xian processed his words, she was completely dumbfounded.

When had she ever mentioned her past with Cheng Dongyuan to Lu Xiao? What past was he talking about?

Cheng Dongyuan, hearing those words: “…”

His eyes instantly became even more profound. Had their relationship progressed to this stage?

At that moment.

He extended his hand, “That said, I did care about her, and I still do.”

As soon as he said this, Lu Xiao’s indifferent gaze fell on his hand, and he also reached out his hand, his voice nonchalantly dropping: “Hmm, Wen Xian told me, she also cares about you, her ‘brother’.”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Dongyuan almost stopped breathing, heart attack!

Brother!?

Neither of them immediately withdrew their hands, both staring at each other, their grip growing tighter as if they were silently competing, the air between them filled with an unspoken gunpowder.

And just then, Wen Xian interjected weakly:@@novelbin@@

“What’s going on with you two big guys, are your hands glued together or what?”
