Chapter 717: Chapter 714
The news was…
“Xiaojun has already sent me a message. She said she feels very sorry for you, she shouldn’t have deceived you, hidden things from you. She admitted she has her reasons and hopes you won’t be angry and can forgive her,” Wen Xian said slowly.
As these words fell, Lu Xiao wiped his vision and scoffed, “She even got you to act as a mediator. The wrong she’s done, I’ll wait for her to apologize in person.”
No one could imagine the taste, the feeling, of watching his own sister, for the sake of another man, lie to him over the phone.
It even made him feel like their sibling bond of over ten years couldn’t compare to a man she had not known for long.
Seeing Lu Xiao’s face turn cold, Wen Xian couldn’t help but tug at the corner of his mouth and chuckled, “Come on, what are you competing with a young girl for, arguing about apologies and such? You really should be embarrassed, Captain,” he said, pausing before continuing, “Even if she does apologize, what does it change? She’s still going to be with other guys. Young girls need to grow up; you should involve yourself less and let her live her life.”
After a series of persuasions, Lu Xiao’s fists tightened and finally, he retorted, “I don’t object to her wanting a boyfriend, but I never expected that person to be Shen Lin.”
At that statement, Wen Xian: “…”
In fact, he knew it was Shen Lin. Little Zaijun had called before and told her all about it. Although she was quite shocked internally, to be honest, she wasn’t surprised.
Because there were just too many entanglements between those two.
From being saved in the bar, to bumping into each other at a family gathering, standing in for a parent at school, teaching a lesson to a scumbag, one incident after another…
Wen Xian believed that Shen Lin, as busy a CEO as he was, was willingly spending his time, energy, and money on Little Zaijun’s matters.
Compared to her previous scumbag boyfriend, he was undeniably many times better.
“I think Shen Lin is pretty good. He has been in the military before, so I trust his character and quality,” she said, pausing to provide a serious analysis of Shen Lin’s advantages, “Being older might mean he is more caring, plus he’s wealthy. At least he can definitely provide her with material stability…”
Her prattling mouth was suddenly stopped by a finger.
Lu Xiao frowned, looking down at her, “What are you doing? I’m still here, why are you mentioning other men in your mouth?”
She: “…”
Okay, it was her fault for speaking out of turn and upsetting the Captain.
In truth, Lu Xiao understood everything crystal clear. He was aware of some of Shen Lin’s advantages, but emotions are complex.
He hoped that if Shen Lin was sincere, then he should treat his sister seriously.
And not like those past girlfriends, treating the relationship as though it were a mere child’s play…!
Seeing Lu Xiao suddenly imparting his sentiments with a soft sigh, Wen Xian couldn’t help but hook up the corners of her mouth slightly. She snuggled up to him and lay down beside him, nestling in his arms, she whispered, “Don’t worry, they know exactly what they’re doing. Besides, if you think things between them are moving too fast, just think about that tent we were in outdoors… Ah…!”
Before she could finish, Lu Xiao suddenly flipped over, his hands bracing against her as he carefully avoided her abdomen, as if fearful of crushing her.
Yet he spoke in a dominant tone that brooked no argument, “But the night I decided to do that, I was ready to marry you.”
