Chapter 362: Chapter 359

It was because at that moment, he knew he had a vulnerability.

Finally, the two of them arrived at the area that would be their future bedroom. Wen Xian stood in front of the bright and clean floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the continuous stream of cars below.

As evening approached, the distant lights gradually came on, her fingertips lightly touching the window, reflecting the flickering brilliance in her eyes.

Her lips parted slightly, “Lu Xiao, thank you.”

It was a genuine thank you. He had given her a future, a new life, and let her know that her life could be so wonderful.

The man behind her slipped his arm around her soft waist, he buried his head against her neck, his voice a deep murmur in her ear:

“Never say thanks, Wen Xian, you’re my girl, one I love securely and steadily, who can boldly do anything.”

He was not a man who was easily moved.

And once he was moved, to be held dear by him, it was for a lifetime.

Wen Xian, listening to his words, felt a tremor at the bottom of her heart, so soft, she turned into a puddle of water.

What words could make her feel more secure than these?

She turned her head slightly to look at him, their gazes met, and the next second, their lips touched.

In the distance, the high-rises lit up one by one, and the streetlights, the lights of the cars, all lit up one after another.

The light cast their silhouettes, faintly projected onto the floor-to-ceiling window.

The woman’s delicate white fingers held onto his large hand at her waist.

Under the lights of a thousand homes, she turned her head and deeply… with the person she loved.

The cold moonlight from above mingled with the earthly lights.

So entwined, so deeply connected.

…

The pair had originally planned to return to the courtyard house that evening, but Lu Xiao suddenly received a phone call on the way.

Upon hearing the contents of the call, his expression immediately turned serious.

After a few grunts, he finally said, “Wait for me, I’ll be right over.”

“What’s the matter, has something happened?”

Wen Xian saw his expression change and felt a tightness in her heart. She quickly asked.

Lu Xiao glanced at his phone, then said seriously:

“I’ll have you get out of the car on the side of the road in a bit. Take a taxi home, I need to deal with some things. Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious.”

It was Shen Lin who called him, stating that they had found that criminal with the surname Wu, the one who had transferred money to his sister’s account.

His own account had been frozen, and fifty thousand had been transferred into his sister’s account. The person who had sent the money was not the hidden mastermind behind the scenes, but he could not escape involvement either.

Wen Xian: “…”

At this time, she didn’t even need to think about it.

If she said she wanted to come along, he definitely wouldn’t allow it.

Seeing her silent, Lu Xiao frowned and said:

“Don’t worry, there’s nothing to worry about. Go home first, I’ll be back in the evening. Also, you should trust me, and you should know what not to do.”

If she interfered in his mission like the last time, he definitely wouldn’t spare her!

Wen Xian’s heart trembled.

The thoughts that had just surged up were crushed by him, and she could not forget the hefty price she had paid the last time she meddled in his affairs.

This time, she took a deep breath and finally blurted out two words: “Waiting for you.”

This wasn’t Kekexili, this was Beijing, and there shouldn’t be anything dangerous happening.

She should also trust in his capabilities and not cause him any trouble.

Lu Xiao pulled over at the side of the road, and she got out first.

After giving several reminders, she finally watched his car merge into the stream of traffic; she then let out a slight sigh and prepared to flag down a taxi by the roadside.

However, as she waited, suddenly, her phone rang unexpectedly–
