Chapter 466: Chapter 463

“What do you mean, a joke? How could she think about going to prison? Lu Xiao wouldn’t be there.”

At the moment, she was indeed worried about his safety, but having heard Lu Dad speak like this, she felt somewhat reassured, knowing after all that this was Beijing, their territory.

However, she was certainly unhappy about him not coming home all night to engage in dangerous activities without telling her at all.

So, after greeting Lu Dad and Lu Mom, and explaining her own work commitments, she prepared to head to the airport without even intending to notify Lu Xiao.

Lu Mom was exceptionally reluctant to let her go and took Wen Xian to a room before she left, on the pretext of showing her something.

Wen Xian was initially curious about what it could be. Lu Mom spoke in mysterious tones and seemed somewhat excited. Yet, when she followed Lu Mom into her bedroom and set eyes on the scene before her, she was nonetheless astounded.

Displayed on a rack was a fiery red, exquisitely made phoenix crown xiapei, a traditional Chinese wedding costume.

As soon as Wen Xian saw it, she froze, her gaze locked on the wedding garment, unable to look away.

“It’s truly beautiful,” she couldn’t help but step closer, her pale, slender fingers wanting to touch the vibrant red garment, yet fearful of soiling it.

The embroidery was crafted with gold and silver thread. A long, red pleated skirt featured a phoenix ready to take flight, with a waist-cinching design in the middle. The old-time national style combined with a modern sensation was overwhelmingly beautiful.

“Mom, Mom…”

Wen Xian turned to look at Lu Mom, “Is this mine…?”

Lu Mom smiled warmly, “Silly girl, of course it’s yours. Ever since Lu Xiao first brought you to meet us, I have had the best tailor in Beijing City make it, waiting in line for a whole two months. It’s hard to come by such a garment, let alone, I was worried you might not want to wait for your wedding. So, this wedding dress was made overnight by more than twenty craftsmen.”

As she spoke, she looked at her and said, “I just don’t know if you like it…”

“Like it? How could I not like it? I love it so much.”

Wen Xian was deeply moved.

Not to mention the beauty and grandeur of this wedding dress, it was also a heartfelt expression from Lu Mom.

Upon hearing her response, Lu Mom was even more delighted, her smile beaming so broadly, and while looking at Wen Xian, she grabbed her hand, softly patting it:

“Now your dad and I are just waiting for your wedding day; everything is all set.”

While it comforted her that both the kids were very career-focused, she couldn’t help feeling a tad sentimental.

“Earn just enough money and don’t overdo it. And just between us, I have a little fund saved for you and your future children.”

As she spoke, Lu Mom’s gaze softened yet held anticipation as she looked toward her abdomen.

At these words, Wen Xian: “…”

A mix of complex emotions surged in her heart. It was undeniable that Lu Mom was incredibly good to her, and it moved her profoundly.

And about the child…

She couldn’t help but feel guilty, for it seemed that Lu Mom had guessed she wasn’t actually pregnant yet but was too polite to say it outright, instead hinting at her desire for grandchildren in her conversation.

Wen Xian took the initiative to embrace her, and when she spoke again, her hand patted gently on her back and she slowly said:

“Mom, don’t worry, I understand everything. And thank you for preparing such a beautiful wedding dress for me. I’m very touched and really happy.”

With these words—
