Tangling with the Western Commander

Chapter 94: Chapter 91: Sorry, I won’t harass you anymore

The distant mountain ranges stretched on, undulating endlessly.

Among the valleys, yaks, Tibetan donkeys, and Tibetan sheep formed herds near and far.

Since the terrain here was much more gentle, Wen Xian found herself feeling less discomfort and instead became deeply immersed in the scenery outside the car window, each sight as beautiful as a painting.

She only felt that coming here, whether one would encounter a Western region like Heaven or Hell, all depended on personal luck.

The two were in the car, with Lu Xiao driving in silence, and Wen Xian, still somewhat weak, spoke much less, often gazing out of the car window in a trance.

Lu Xiao’s gaze occasionally fell on the rearview mirror inside the car, seemingly focused on something.

Wen Xian leaned against the car window, the warm noon breeze gently fluttering the hair on her forehead.

And in that rearview mirror was her reflection as she leaned on the window, devoid of the strength that came with mingling in the entertainment industry, instead appearing as innocent as a child.

Lu Xiao’s eyes were deep: “…”

The next second, the window Wen Xian was leaning against suddenly rose.

She made an “Eh” sound and turned to look at Lu Xiao, who spoke in a deep and serious voice, “You’ve just gotten a bit better, you shouldn’t be exposed to the wind for too long. Sit properly.”

Wen Xian: “…”

Was he not afraid she would bother him again?

Wen Xian sat properly, and the words Granny had said back in the yurt came to mind.

Granny had said that in their area, everyone knew Lu Xiao; he was a responsible and dependable good man.

Indeed.

Wen Xian thought, now she understood it better than anyone.

But after understanding, she found herself falling into deep contemplation.

She felt that this man should truly not be provoked, couldn’t… be tainted by her, or else she would feel shame deep in her heart.

She admitted honestly that maybe because she cared a little, she had suddenly become wary.

She quite liked Lu Xiao, but she didn’t think that was a good thing, not just because the two of them weren’t right for each other.

It was also because Lu Xiao simply… didn’t fancy her.

“Lu Xiao.”

Lu Xiao’s tone was indifferent: “What is it.”

Wen Xian seemed hesitant: “I have something to tell you.”

Lu Xiao: “…”

“Speak,” he commanded, his hands resting on the steering wheel, seemingly looking ahead, but her every move was reflected in the rearview mirror.

For some reason, seeing her suddenly become so troubled and hesitant sent a tremor through his heart.

What was she going to say to him? Could it possibly be—

At that moment, Wen Xian lowered her eyes slightly: “Lu Xiao, I’ve rebooked my ticket for tonight, I’m leaving soon. No matter what has happened during this time, I still want to say I’m sorry to you.”

At her words, the body of Lu Xiao, who was driving, stiffened.

Sorry?

Wen Xian continued with downcast eyes, speaking slowly: “Yes, I know I’ve caused you a lot of trouble, and you really don’t think much of me, so I apologize for all the inappropriate harassment during this time.”

Lu Xiao: “…”

His grip on the steering wheel tightened.

His lips pressed lightly together, and when he spoke again, his voice had turned somewhat cold: “There’s no need to be sorry, no need for any of that.”

“No, there is a need,” she insisted. “Being so disliked by you yet still saved by you, that kindness, unforgettable, so—”

She paused, then earnestly continued when she looked at him again: “I will not bother you again in the future, and I won’t have the chance to either.”

Lu Xiao: “…”

He pursed his lips, his gaze fixed straight ahead, silent.

Yet although he did and said nothing, Wen Xian suddenly felt the atmosphere around her turn instantly cold, very cold.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
