Chapter 429: Chapter 426

Lu Xiao nodded and without saying anything more, went straight back to look for Wen Xian.

The pressing matter now was to take her to the hospital for a check-up.

Wen Xian stood at the edge of the green belt, her coat collar pulled up high to cover her cheeks.

When she heard footsteps, she turned around and saw Lu Xiao coming towards her with a set of car keys.

“How is it?”

On the day they had planned to register their marriage, such terrifying incidents in the early morning were enough to ruin anyone’s mood.

Lu Xiao directly scooped her into his arms and walked towards the car he had driven over, his voice calm:

“Don’t worry, our people will handle things later, for now, just come with me to the hospital.”

After placing her in the car and fastening her seatbelt, he glanced at her still somewhat pale face, Lu Xiao: “…”

At that moment, deep within his heart, it was as if he had been sharply poked.

An extraordinarily sorrowful pain surged up, bringing with it a flood of complex emotions.

Now, it seemed that the man had completely found out that he was the Captain of the Uninhibited Area.

Otherwise, no matter how much he wanted to pursue Wen Xian, it wouldn’t have reached the point where someone would want to kill him.

Not to mention, since Wen Xian was also in the car, it only showed that he held no regard for her life as well.

This scum! Beast!

As the car started again, Lu Xiao glanced at Wen Xian, his clear and deep eyes reflecting a complex and profound darkness.

This was his life, where for the sake of protecting things he cared about, sometimes various crises were inevitable.

The car was silent, Wen Xian also exceptionally quiet.

In Lu Xiao’s eyes, she seemed to have been frightened, and aside from the towering rage at that man, his heart was full of tenderness for her.

This was why he had wanted to break up with her before.

And now, did she understand…

In this world, nothing was more important than being alive.

Lu Xiao’s lips tightened, his eyes as unfathomably dark as ink that wouldn’t dissolve.

His hands gripped the steering wheel, struggling to restrain his gaze from looking at her. As he spoke again, his chest heaved deeply:

“Are you scared?”

It was a redundant question, as such a situation would unsettle anyone.

Wen Xian said nothing, just silently lowering her gaze before softly uttering a sound of agreement.

Lu Xiao’s heart shuddered.

“Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere in your body now?” he continued asking.

Wen Xian raised her hand to cover the area of her heart: “Here, it’s uncomfortable.”

Although she also felt dizzy, she wouldn’t say it, as they were about to reach the hospital soon anyway.

After her words fell, Lu Xiao seemed to plunge into a silent abyss.

Half of his figure shrouded in shadow, he was scarily quiet.

After what felt like an eternity, when he spoke again, his tone devoid of emotion, he said slowly:

“Listen to me, let’s postpone the registration for a while—”

“You dare!”

Wen Xian’s gaze swept sharply towards him, fixing him in place.

Her usually bright eyes now carried an added threat and a fierce coldness.

Lu Xiao’s body tensed up.

Then Wen Xian took a deep breath and said:

“I’m scared, scared of what would have happened if just now you hadn’t been able to dodge it. My heart is uncomfortable because the man I love is always in danger…!”

As she spoke, she suddenly looked up at him, her eyes slightly reddened, and she said word for word:

“But all of that is nothing compared to the horror of what you were about to say just now.”
