Tangling with the Western Commander

Chapter 208: Chapter 205: Coming Right to the Door!

Wen Xian also began coughing repeatedly; this time, she had genuinely been choked.

Lu Xiao hurriedly handed her a tissue to wipe away, seeing her ears had turned red, he frowned slightly.

Why was her reaction so strong?

Huo Qi was also busy passing her tissues, and in the meantime, he expressed his amazement towards the team member:

“My God, the pillar of our country actually harassed such a formidable professor, what a disgrace, it’s utterly outrageous!”

As he spoke, the next second, he switched to gossip mode and added, “Who was the one harassing him, what woman is so shameless?”

Indeed, everyone subconsciously thought it must be a woman.

Even Lu Xiao slightly knitted his eyebrows.

Somehow, after that comment, everyone’s gaze slowly shifted toward—Wen Xian.

Having just taken a sip of water to calm her emotions, Wen Xian was startled when she realized everyone was staring at her, and she stammered, “Why, why are you all staring at me?”

Huo Qi frowned, “Is it because you found him handsome and he’s a scientist, so you sent messages to harass him?”

At those words, Wen Xian nearly flipped the table—dammit, Lu Xiao was still sitting there, couldn’t this guy stop speaking nonsense!

Sure enough, just as Wen Xian was about to slam the table in anger, the team member hastily waved his hands and chuckled nervously, “You, you’ve got it wrong, don’t accuse innocent people.”

With that, he looked around to make sure the professor wasn’t nearby, then leaned in with one hand covering his mouth and whispered to them:

“The person harassing Professor Xiao isn’t a woman, it’s a man…!”

“Damn…!”

Huo Qi’s eyes bulged! Could this be any more thrilling!?

Lu Xiao’s expression darkened, “Are you sure?”

The team member shook his head continuously, “I don’t know the specifics, Captain. If you’re worried, you can talk to him about it.”

Lu Xiao fell silent, seemingly really considering it.

However, Wen Xian’s gaze flickered and she coughed softly, “…I think, let’s not act rashly for now, after all, the professor would definitely not want too many people to know about this kind of thing…”

It would be bad if Lu Xiao actually found out who it was.

Glancing at Huo Qi, who had the look of someone eagerly waiting to watch a drama unfold, she slightly curled her lips.

In the end, Lu Xiao didn’t go up; he listened to her and decided to maintain a wait-and-see attitude for the time being.

After dinner, Sang Nian was about to carry a tray to deliver dinner to the professor.

But suddenly, a call for assembly rang out from outside, and upon seeing Wen Xian, he quickly said, “Sister Xian, help me out, I’ll rush out for a bit!”

Wen Xian took it over promptly, urging him to go, and just as she turned around, her gaze fell on Huo Qi and she paused for a moment, then, the corners of her mouth slowly curled into a meaningful smile.

Huo Qi, curious and well-fed, also wanted to check out the commotion; just as he walked over, he was called by Wen Xian:

“Huo Qi! Quick, help me deliver this dinner to Professor Xiao.”

Without waiting to see if he was willing, she thrust it into his hands.

Huo Qi, worried about spilling the soup, steadied it at once, completely confused.

Only then did Wen Xian pat his shoulder and said very earnestly, “When you go up, make sure to be gentle with Professor Xiao, got it? Don’t put on airs with your wealthy heir identity! He is a scientist, a pillar of the nation! And remember, absolutely do not mention the harassment thing to him; he doesn’t want people talking about it!”

“Alright, I know what to say and what not to, it’s just delivering a meal, no big deal, leave it to me!”

With that, he turned and headed upstairs with the tray.

Wen Xian, watching his ascending figure, had an evil smile on her lips, the arc growing deeper.
