Tangling with the Western Commander-Chapter 352 - 349

Chapter 352: Chapter 349

Chapter 352 -349

His hands were long and strong, with well-defined knuckles and some callouses.

Because he often took part in various rescue missions and regularly did heavy work, his hands inevitably grew rougher.

Yet it was this pair of hands…

Wen Xian’s eyes became a bit deeper.

Her back started to feel warm.

Hmm, she could only say that Lu Xiao was indeed Lu Xiao, impressive in every aspect.

…

Several dozen minutes later, the car gradually approached the entrance of a well-known domestic university.

Li Zaijun was attending R University.

She seemed carefree but was actually quite smart.

“Both her parents were military doctors, who sacrificed early on, so she came to live with our family. The little girl was often bullied because she had lost her parents.

But she was stubborn. Every time she called me to back her up, tears would hang in her eyes, but she refused to let them fall. Once I had avenged her, she would immediately break into happy laughter, wipe her eyes, and even take the chance to sneak in a few kicks.”

Lu Xiao spoke slowly.

This was also his only fuzzy memory of Li Zaijun during their childhood; as he got older and started middle school, he no longer lived at home.

When he returned in high school, she had grown up, became feisty, and was no longer bullied by anyone.

As Wen Xian listened, her heart couldn’t help but ache a little.

At such a young age, she had lost her parents and been bullied; it wasn’t so easy to come through that.

But now she seemed cheerful, which was truly rare.

Lu Xiao’s mother mentioned her several times during dinner yesterday; although she was a niece by marriage, it was clear that Lu Xiao’s mother and father cherished her greatly.

At the moment,

something else crossed her mind, and she turned to ask him about something else:

“By the way, what have you been busy with these days? You’re not in the Uninhabited Area anymore, yet you still can’t seem to sit still.”

At this, Lu Xiao’s eyes darkened slightly, and he fell silent before finally saying, “You’ll know.”

Yes, she would know.

In addition to searching for information about the person behind the scenes, he was also quickly scheduling other matters.

Such as—

Buying a house.

He had his eye on a set of suites not far from here—duplex, over two hundred square meters, not cheap, though not quite as extravagant as her billion-yuan penthouse in Shanghai’s Lu Family Peninsula, but still worth thirty million or so.

It might not be the best, but it would be the best he could afford to give her, and it would only get better in the future.

He had already paid the deposit; now, he was just waiting for the follow-up paperwork to be ready so he could take her there to sign her name.

The shops that he and Shen Lin had invested in early on were now multiplied manifold with Beijing’s rapid development.

Although his family had long prepared a house for him, it was bought when he was still young, and most importantly, it wasn’t in her name.

Wen Xian let out a discontented snort at his mysterious airs and didn’t bother with him any longer.

Instead, she leaned toward the car window, looking for her little cousin’s figure.

But at that moment, Wen Xian was unaware of all that Lu Xiao had done.

She also didn’t know that during the day when she had been in a daze, her future life was being clearly laid out by him.

Right now,

it was nearly six o’clock, just in time for school to let out.

Wen Xian’s gaze landed on someone, and her eyes suddenly widened:

“Hey, I think I see her! That girl with short hair, wearing a white down jacket and brown snow boots, isn’t that her?”

As she spoke, she couldn’t help but frown and add, “But who’s that guy next to her? Why does it look like they are arguing…?”

It seemed quite intense.
