Chapter 409: Chapter 446

Lu Xiao, however, pulled her into his arms without heeding her objections and, with a low and firm voice, lifted her horizontally and said:

“If I say I’m going to hold you, then I’m going to hold you. What’s it to them? Besides, with the way I have you wrapped up, no one will recognize you anyway.”

Slender as she was, she stood no chance against him and was easily lifted into his arms, heading toward the queue.

Seeing the crowd at the queue, Wen Xian immediately covered her eyes with the back of her hand, feeling utterly ashamed to face anyone.

To look around, there’s no one doing what he’s doing, was he trying to make it impossible for others to live.

While others might show off their love by spreading dog food, what he was doing was akin to killing dogs.

But no matter how embarrassed and shy she felt, deep down something inexplicably sweet began to bubble up, unstoppable.

It kept surging forth, almost overflowing.

At the same time, being so openly together with him in front of so many people set her heart trembling with an indescribable sense of nervousness.

It was as if she was doing something bad and afraid of being caught.

If it weren’t for the darkness of the sky and the fact she was dressed conservatively, being discovered would mean being swarmed.

“What’s the matter, scared?”

Lu Xiao saw her covering her little face and asked.

Wen Xian shook her head gently and pressed her small face against his chest, murmuring softly:

“At any time, as long as I can be with you, I won’t be afraid.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao: “…!”

When he spoke again, he looked at her, his voice slow and steady, “Don’t worry, with me here, nothing will happen.”

Because, the person he held in his arms was not just a woman but his… world.

Before meeting her, his life had been full of various missions, yet when he had free time, he got the feeling of having nothing to do and a sense of utter emptiness.

It seemed only the tension of a mission could get his blood flowing, his heart pumping.

But after meeting her, everything changed.

His heart, once sealed and hardened, had been melted by her.

She made him realize what a truly complete life meant.

Truth be told, he wasn’t a romantic man, and he didn’t even know how to make her happy.

All he knew was that this motherland was the motherland he dearly loved, the soil beneath his feet, the place that gave him life and nurture.

It seemed only the tension of a mission could get his blood flowing, his heart pumping.

And now, bringing her to watch the flag-raising was the most romantic thing he could think of.
