Tangling with the Western Commander

Chapter 297: Chapter 294: The Truth Surfaces!!!

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would have doubted that a hallucination had appeared before him…!

Just as Wen Xian got into the car, Lu Xiao walked around the front of the vehicle and started the engine.

The sky grew darker and the wind stronger, and in the bright headlights, it seemed that some snow was mixed with the wind.

Just as the car was about to leave, suddenly—

A figure darted out right in the bright glare of the headlights.

Wen Xian’s pupils constricted upon recognizing who it was, and she cursed under her breath.

And there, blocking the way, stood Huo Qi, who had appeared from out of nowhere.

He was dressed in a khaki wool coat, its fluffy collar accentuating his delicate and attractive face, truly flamboyant.

However, at the moment, he was waving his hands to stop the car, yelling, “Wait, wait a moment, stop the car quickly!”

Wen Xian turned her head and saw, as expected, that Lu Xiao’s expression had darkened as well.

She sighed softly in her heart.

It seemed that it was time to let Huo Qi know some things; it couldn’t go on like this indefinitely.

Besides, there was no longer anything to hide. Lu Xiao was her man, and he was bound to find out sooner or later.

She would only ever like Lu Xiao, love him, for her entire life.

Thus, it was better for Huo Qi to see the reality sooner and to understand all of this.

Lu Xiao, watching the man who had stopped the car, also had a flicker of light in his eyes.

Then he stopped the car.

But those dark, deep-set eyes were inscrutable, leaving no one to know what was truly going through his mind.

As soon as the car door was opened, Huo Qi rushed in, shivering with cold, and then casually asked the two of them:

“Where are you two heading off to in the dark?”

However, this time, he did not directly ask why Wen Xian seemed so close to him just before.

Because at this moment, he felt that some truth he didn’t know was about to surface.

He had long felt something was off about Lu Xiao.

Not only did he appear and disappear unpredictably, but he also made physical advances on Wen Xian.

A princess carry!?

He had never even held her like that!

Lu Xiao remained silent.

The light inside the carriage was dim. Wen Xian, unfazed, slowly said:

“The altitude here is high, and I’m feeling a bit unwell. I’m going to stay in the jurisdiction for a couple of days before heading straight back to Beijing.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Qi immediately raised his eyebrows:

“Then why wouldn’t you take me with you? I left in a hurry last time and forgot a Patek Philippe watch worth over a million there. I was planning to go back and retrieve it this time.”

To his surprise, Lu Xiao frowned slightly upon hearing this.

“Are you sure?”

If there really was such a thing, his mother would have certainly found it while cleaning the room.

So there was only one possibility.

His sharp gaze collided with Huo Qi’s through the rearview mirror.

It was as if he could see right through him at a glance.

For some reason, after Huo Qi began to doubt, he still wanted to be commanding, but suddenly meeting Lu Xiao’s piercing deep gaze made him tremble.

Some of the harsh words he intended to say were stuck in his throat.

He felt that his gaze was like a shining knife, threatening him.

When he spoke again, he swiftly avoided eye contact, flustered, “I—I, a young master, would never lie. Anyway, I’m going to go back and look for it.”

Lu Xiao did not reply.

At this point, Wen Xian spoke slowly, “Let’s go.”

As she spoke, she glanced at Lu Xiao, as if her mind was made up.

She was ready to tell Huo Qi the news very soon.
