Chapter 697 Lu Xixiao: "Can I come to see you?"
Chapter 697 Lu Xixiao: "Can I come to see you?"
Wen Li, who was lying in front of the computer watching the surveillance, received a call from her grandmother. Her grandmother called frequently during this period. Even if her grandmother didn't ask her, she knew that her grandmother was concerned about her and Lu Xixiao.
This time grandma did ask.
"How are you and Xiao Lu doing? Did you go find him?"
Wen Li was vague: "...Not yet, I'm busy."
Busy? I'm so sad, how can anyone else matter?
The old lady knew it was an excuse as soon as she heard it, and did not expose her.
"What about Xiao Lu? Did he come to see you?"
Wen Li: "...No." Not wanting to worry her grandmother, she made up an excuse: "He must be busy too. He's much busier than me."
The old lady knew that Lu Xixiao was really hurt, and she sighed softly: "Grandma, can you come to the capital to see you? Grandma misses you." Even though she wanted to come, she still asked Wen Li's opinion first.
Wen Li knew that her grandmother was not only looking for her, but also wanted to look for Lu Xixiao. How could she let her grandmother, who had only been out of Mingcheng a few times, travel all the way to this big city where she was unfamiliar with everyone? How could she let her grandmother do things for her that she couldn't handle herself? And how could she let her grandmother see her like this, with Lu Xixiao, Lu Jingyuan, and General Hei all around? If her grandmother saw them, she would be very worried.
"Can I go back to Mingcheng tomorrow? I miss my grandma too."
She politely declined, as she really missed her grandmother.
She not only missed her grandmother, but also Jiang Yingbai and Lin Zhuxi...
After hearing what Wen Li said, the old lady had no choice but to give up the idea.
"Grandma is not going away. She is staying at home. You can do your work and come back when you are done. No matter when you come back, Grandma will be there."
Wen Li: "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Li opened the address book and found Lu Xixiao's number. She just wanted to take a look and had no intention of dialing.
After watching for a while, she put her phone aside and looked back at the computer. Lu Xixiao and Lu Jingyuan had just returned to the room. It was their nap time, so there was no trace of them in the surveillance video.
Wen Li picked up the phone again.
Lu Xixiao lay down on the bed, but Lu Jingyuan, who had gone to bed before him, did not lie down obediently. Instead, he played with the mobile phone he had taken from him before going upstairs. Lu Xixiao did not force him to take a nap and let him play.
Lu Jingyuan skillfully unlocked Lu Xixiao's phone.
After a while, the phone started to dial a number, and Lu Jingyuan immediately pressed the hands-free button, making the volume louder.
Lu Xixiao asked casually: "Is Jing Yuan calling someone?"
Lu Jingyuan didn't say anything. After the call was connected, he returned the phone to Lu Xixiao. Before Lu Xixiao took it, he heard the voice that made him almost crazy from the phone.
"...Lu Xixiao?"
She was so nervous that her voice was unstable and she spoke cautiously.
Lu Xixiao was stunned. It was so sudden that he forgot what to do with his outstretched hand. His dark eyes, filled with emotions, stared at the phone that was on the line. His body reacted first, but he forcibly controlled it the next second. He seemed to be still angry, but the moment his hand stopped, he regretted it, and the regret was overwhelming.
Lu Jingyuan stuffed the phone into his big hand.
He seemed reluctant to answer the call a second ago, but his mistake was completely exposed after he answered it. He put the phone to his right ear where his hearing was intact, and pressed it tightly against his ear, fearing that he couldn't hear it. The phone was clearly on speakerphone, but I don't know if he forgot about it.
He didn't respond, just held his breath and listened carefully, afraid to miss a single sound from her. In his heart, he silently begged her: Say one more word, anything, even just call his name, just one word, and he would go find her immediately, just one word would be enough.
In the silence, Wen Li spoke again, this time even more nervous and tentative than before: "Lu Xixiao? Are you listening?"
The wall erected by Lu Xixiao collapsed. He no longer cared about being sad, disappointed, or having face. He no longer cared about how much he weighed in her heart and whether she loved him or not.
No one is as important as her.
He just knew that he couldn't live without her.
He forgave her the moment he heard her voice.
In fact, I had already secretly forgiven him in my heart.
It was just that he hadn't managed to comfort herself yet, so he resisted the urge to go find her.
Lu Xixiao suppressed his emotions, his throat was sore and painful, but fortunately he could speak: "...Where are you? Can I come to find you?"
Wen Li: "Okay."
Knowing that Wen Li was in the capital, Lu Xixiao hung up the phone and hurriedly said to Lu Jingyuan: "Jingyuan, I'm going to go find my sister. You and General Hei wait for us at home. I'll let Lu Wu come up to accompany you."
Lu Jingyuan nodded, lay down obediently, closed his eyes and took a nap.
"Woof~" General Hei told him to go without worry.
Lu Xixiao kissed Lu Jingyuan on the forehead, hurriedly got out of bed, put on his shoes and walked out. When he was about to reach the door, he remembered something and turned back, quickly went into the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror.
You absolutely cannot go there looking so unkempt and ugly.
Lu Xixiao, who was delayed, grabbed his hair impatiently and rushed to the cloakroom to get a change of clothes...
Lu Jingyuan and General Hei looked up after hearing the noise.
Wen Li's hands were still shaking slightly. She stared at the hung-up phone again and again in disbelief. After confirming that it was true, she couldn't help but regret why she didn't make that call just now.
She blinked her red eyes to wipe away the tears, then remembered something and raised her phone to use it as a mirror. After that, she hurried upstairs to the bathroom...
Lu Xixiao quickly washed his hair and took a shower, tidied himself up, and then went out without wasting a second, driving there alone.
Wen Li also washed herself from head to toe as quickly as possible. She'd actually showered just that morning, having stayed up all night watching surveillance. Afterward, she looked in the mirror at her dark circles and haggard, lifeless face, and couldn't help but frown. After searching through all her drawers and cabinets, she couldn't find even a single lipstick, so she gave up.
Wen Li went downstairs and waited on the sofa.
She rewound the surveillance video and saw that Lu Xixiao hurriedly walked out of the villa and drove away from the Lu family more than ten minutes ago.
He changed his clothes. Although he was thin, he no longer looked tired. He looked alive and radiant.
Wen Li looked at the figure, his heart beating out of control.
The fastest normal driving time from Lu's house to here was about forty minutes. Wen Li calmed herself down as she waited. Feeling guilty, she also thought about what she would say to him later. She felt a little restless and kept looking out the French window.
Lu Xixiao arrived ten minutes earlier than expected.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a black car speeding past outside the large floor-to-ceiling window.
is it him?
Wen Li stood up from the sofa, looked out the window, and pricked up her ears to listen. After making sure the car was parked outside, she walked over.
Before she reached the door, the doorbell rang first, followed by a knock on the door. The person outside was anxious and couldn't wait even a second.
Wen Li quickened his pace and his heartbeat quickened as well.
As soon as the door opened, their eyes met and both of them had red eyes.
After being separated for more than three months, they were now looking at each other face to face, with thousands of words in their eyes, but any words seemed pale and powerless. It happened that Lu Xixiao didn't want to say anything, he wanted to do it.
Lu Xixiao strode into the room, slammed the door shut, put his arm around the person's waist, lowered his head and kissed the person forcefully.
It's not just three months. They have gone through even more tormenting times before that, from the time Lu Jingyuan was in danger until today.
All the accumulated emotions and love burst out at this moment. Lu Xixiao almost lost control. He held her arms tighter and tighter, as if he wanted to melt her into his body so that they could never be separated.
The two of them had only kissed twice, and both times Lu Xixiao took the complete lead and guided the way. Even though he felt uncomfortable, he still remained gentle and patient throughout the process, taking care of Wen Li.
But one time his kiss was a little rough and brutal, with a hint of punishment, as if he wanted to tear the person apart and eat him up in his stomach before he could vent his anger.
Wen Li couldn't even withstand the gentle breeze and drizzle, let alone this violent storm. His hands were also heavy, but Wen Li, who was hurt, hugged Lu Xixiao's neck even tighter and responded to him.
Wen Li just wanted to do what she wanted at this moment. If she wasn't as capable as Lu Xixiao, it would be Lu Xixiao who got hurt.
Wen Li's indulgence and response made Lu Xixiao even more out of control. He squatted down and suddenly picked up Wen Li, put one arm under Wen Li's hips, and clasped the back of Wen Li's head with a big hand. He kissed and carried her towards the sofa.
The way he held the child was too embarrassing. Wen Li had never been held like this when she was a child, let alone when she grew up. With her whole body hanging on Lu Xixiao, she subconsciously clamped her legs together, which made her clamp Lu Xixiao's waist tighter. She blushed directly from her face to her neck.
Only now did she realize how restrained and reserved Lu Xixiao had been before.
