Tangling with the Western Commander-Chapter 356 - 353
Chapter 356 -353
Otherwise, she really would have to fear that he would become jealous.
Little Zaijun, upon hearing this, immediately hugged her tighter and rubbed against her, saying dependently, “Sister-in-law, you’re so good to me.”
Wen Xian stroked her soft hair, her lips curving slightly, but when she suddenly looked up, her gaze met Lu Xiao’s eyes in the rearview mirror.
She instantly felt: “…”
Her smiling lips became a bit awkward.
Lu Xiao, on the other hand, could only shake his head helplessly and let out a gentle sigh.
What else could he do.
He could only indulge her.

That evening, when they got home, the little cousin who had been crying all the way in the car didn’t look like she had been crying at all once she got out of the car.
She dashed inside with her schoolbag, shouting, “Aunt, Uncle, Sister-in-law and I are back!”
Following behind, Lu Xiao, who had driven all the way, was like: “…”
?
What, didnít he deserve to have a name?
Wen Xian couldn’t help but laugh.
Lu Xiao glanced at her and asked indifferently, “What are you laughing at?”
Wen Xian approached and took hold of his arm, affectionately kissing his cheek, and said in a mixture of consolation and coquetry,
“It’s okay, don’t be jealous. I’ll sneak back to you later tonight and sleep with you. I absolutely won’t let my beloved darling sleep alone in an empty room.”
Lu Xiao: “…”
He coughed lightly, his voice deep as he said,
ìIíve slept alone before, itís not that. Iím just worried you wonít be used to sleeping with someone else.î
As he spoke, his tone paused, and he seemingly offhandedly added, “I won’t lock the door tonight.”
Then he left ahead of her.
Looking at his retreating back, Wen Xian couldn’t help but wrap her arms around herself, her lips curving into a mysteriously sweet smile.
This man with his contradictory heart and words.
When Li Zaijun returned, in front of Lu Xiao’s parents, she acted as if nothing had happened, as if everything was normal.
When Wen Xian witnessed this scene, she felt somewhat complicated inside.
If it weren’t for seeing with her own eyes what happened to her at the school gate today, she might have never known how much indignity she had suffered.
Because she hid it so well.
She wouldn’t let anyone see her sadness and disappointment. In front of Lu Xiao’s parents, she was always carefree and laughing.
Like a child who never grew up.
But in reality, she had spent so much time with her boyfriend, devoting time, energy, money, and emotions, only to be met with such betrayal.
How could she not feel upset? But however upset she might be, she would likely bear it alone.
Indeed.
That night, when Wen Xian went to sleep in the west wing room with her, they lay in bed and brought up the subject. It wasn’t long before she couldn’t help crying again.
But this time she wasn’t sobbing loudly; instead, she lay in Wen Xian’s arms and silently shed tears.
That kind of silent weeping might be what feels the most hopeless and heartbreaking.
Her voice was hoarse, with a thick nasal tone, she slowly said,
“…I’ve always been working hard to make money, dreaming of a future with him. It didn’t matter if he couldn’t afford a house, as long as he had ambition and the will to strive, that’s all that mattered.
But I never expected that he would treat me like a fool, sweet-talking me on the surface, and behind my back, he used me as an ATM to take girls out to hotels. That was money I worked hard for…”
Her boyfriend knew that her parents had died and that she was living with relatives.
Perhaps this was exactly why he dared to hurt her so recklessly, thinking she was naive, lacking love, easy to deceive, easy to appease.
At this moment——
