Chapter 447: Chapter 444
This sentence came out—
Just as Wen Xian reached the doorway, “Pfft…!”
Look at what he’s saying, he appears aggressive, but the words that come out are so meek.
Huo Qi heard the voice and immediately looked over, his eyes widening, “Xianxian!”
He was about to rush over.
She had finally come back!
Still wrapped in Lu Xiao’s arms, Wen Xian watched him charging over and promptly coughed, winking continuously at him and then followed with a dry laugh, saying,
“I didn’t expect you to be so acquainted with the professor. I was wondering why no one seemed to be looking after Professor Xiao, who is sick all by himself here. It’s good that you, Huo Qi, came to take care of him. That’s really thoughtful.”
Upon hearing this, Huo Qi abruptly came to a halt.
“…??”
He had clearly come for her, so why would she say something like that?
Huo Qi, seeing her continuously signaling him with her eyes, indicating something, then slowly lifted his gaze to the man half a head taller than him—
the strong, formidable, robust Captain Lu Xiao.
Suddenly his body shivered inexplicably.
His pale neck’s Adam’s apple bobbed.
At this moment, Captain Lu Xiao was looking at him, his face emotionless as he uttered two words, “Step aside.”
When dealing with a rival in love, don’t expect him to be nice, as the higher-ups have said, treat enemies like the autumn breeze sweeping away fallen leaves.
With a romantic rival… not kicking him out was already giving him a lot of face.
Huo Qi immediately obediently stepped aside, allowing Lu Xiao to carry Wen Xian into the room and carefully place her on the sickbed.
Watching this scene, his feelings were somewhat complex.
His Xianxian…
This… how come she looks so radiant and full of smiles, not at all like someone who should be in the hospital?
The one next door with the pale face, who moved with difficulty, now that looked like the real deal.
But seeing her like this, he was finally reassured.
After lying down on the sickbed, Lu Xiao glanced indifferently to the side and asked bluntly, “Did you come here to see Wen Xian?”
He thought those little movements that Wen Xian made would really escape his eyes.
Huo Qi felt an inexplicable sense of injustice within. He had indeed come for Wen Xian, why couldn’t he just say that openly?
His lips moved, and he began, “I just came to see Xian—”
Suddenly, Lu Xiao stood up straight, his gaze fixed on Huo Qi. Though he said nothing, he exuded a powerful aura, commanding without anger.
This made Huo Qi’s breath catch, and the words that had reached his lips forcibly changed into,
“Xian, Xianxian had already said, didn’t she, that the professor had gone through surgery and there was no one to look after him, so I, I came to see him.”
He spoke without blinking an eye, making it seem more genuine than the real thing.
Xiao Yixing behind the curtain: “…”
After hearing this, Lu Xiao finally withdrew his gaze.
He barely moistened his lips and then fell silent.
Actually, he didn’t mind Wen Xian having male friends, he respected that.
But Huo Qi was someone pursuing her, and that was not acceptable, other than the day he had his own other half, this was also for his personal good.
…
Huo Qi absentmindedly wiped up the dirty spot he stepped on. Although he was clumsy and didn’t clean it very well, it seemed that the man in the bed could tell he was not in a good mood and said nothing more.
With nowhere to sit and not wanting to leave so soon, Huo Qi had no choice but to sit back down in the chair next to Xiao Yixing.
Compared to Captain Lu Xiao who seemed like he could pick him up with one hand, the cold Professor Xiao, despite his face not being very friendly, was—
