Tangling with the Western Commander

Chapter 126: Chapter 123: This Breathtaking Scene!

The man just looked at her, watched her.

Gazing at tranquility, yet beneath that calm, it seemed uncontrollable torrents surged.

Wen Xian: “…”

In all fairness, she was innocent, pure!!!

At that moment, Cheng Dongyuan looked at Huo Qi, smiled slightly, and spoke indifferently, “Mr. Huo, indeed, you can be reckless with food, but not with words.”

As he said this, he paused briefly, then slowly added, “Axian posted on Weibo last night, and if I’m not mistaken, the person hinted at there shouldn’t be you, right?”

Upon hearing this, Huo Qi’s eyes widened instantly.

Wen Xian blinked slightly: “…”

Lu Xiao also looked up at her: “…”

Their gazes collided amidst the rising tension.

Wen Xian tightened her grip on the fork, her eyes deep and urgent as she looked at Lu Xiao, as if trying desperately to convey something to him.

Lu Xiao: “…”

At this moment, for Huo Qi, being contradicted was a minor issue. The major issue was his girlfriend being taken by someone else.

He hurriedly glanced at Wen Xian, then when he looked at Cheng Dongyuan, his heart skipped, “What, what do you mean? Be clear. If it’s not me, could it perhaps be you!?”

Cheng Dongyuan indeed had some skill, he wiped his mouth with a napkin, elegantly and gently retorted, “What do you think?”

A simple counter-question from him, with no solid proof, just a few words muddled the truth, causing Huo Qi’s mind to become thoroughly chaotic, nearly driving him mad.

At the same time, his thoughts were indeed diverted by Cheng Dongyuan.

Could the person mentioned in her Weibo post really be Cheng Dongyuan!?

So she wanted to specifically go to Qinghai to film, a place sparsely populated, where the two of them were ex-lovers, wasn’t this preparation for rekindling old flames!?

With this thought, Huo Qi suddenly felt his head spin, his temples throbbing intensely.

Fortunately, Wen Xian finally spoke, her voice serious as she cleared her throat forcefully, “Okay, can you all stop making wild guesses? I’m hungry, I want to eat.”

While speaking, her gaze still occasionally flicked towards Lu Xiao, as if trying to seize every second to clarify her innocence to him.

The person hinted at on Weibo was not them, but—it was him, Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao remained impassive, his dark, elongated eyes hiding a hint of understanding: “…”

Meanwhile, the food Huo Qi had ordered arrived.

Eager for vengeance against Cheng Dongyuan, Huo Qi ordered pigeon and goose liver pie, seared beef ribs, king crab with sweet peas, caviar egg custard, and seabream with grapes.

At that moment, Huo Qi tried to keep his composure, his mind filled with plans on how to deal with this old man.

As Wen Xian saw the array of delicious food, just about to pick up her knife and fork, suddenly, an extremely breathtaking scene unfolded before her eyes—

Just as she raised her hand, Huo Qi picked up a piece of beef rib, Cheng Dongyuan cut a piece of seabream, and Lu Xiao forked a piece of goose liver, all three men simultaneously presenting the food to her face…!

Damn.

Wen Xian looked at this scene: “…”

Her heart skipped a beat, nearly dying on the spot. Was it necessary to treat her with such intensity?

This scene was simply staggering, not to mention the synchronized movements, all three men’s eyes fixed on her.

“…”

Then, following this action, Huo Qi and Cheng Dongyuan glanced at the food in each other’s hands, their gazes collided, and unexpectedly both of their eyes slowly shifted towards Lu Xiao.

Huo Qi stared at the goose liver in the hands of his bodyguard he had hired, suddenly falling into deep thought: “…”

It was understandable why he and Cheng Dongyuan did this.

But for a bodyguard…?
