Chapter 52: Lu Dog Gets Awkward

The scorching sun blazed, and inside the car without air conditioning, the temperature seemed to rise a few degrees suddenly.

Wen Xian held her breath, her long lashes slightly drooping, her lips touching his cheek.

The scene appeared frozen at that moment.

Lu Xiao's body was still stiff.

And ultimately, Wen Xian was the first to move.

She tilted her head slightly, her warm breath landing between his breaths, mingling with his.

Then, she cleared her throat, sounding a bit unnatural, "Sorry, Captain Lu, I didn't mean to."

While she said that, her lips curled slightly in a place Lu Xiao couldn't see.

Lu Xiao: "..."

He slowly shifted his gaze to her face.

Wen Xian also turned her head back but seemed somewhat embarrassed, reluctant to look at him.

Lu Xiao just looked at her, at her dark, long eyebrows, her eyes filled with a spring-like depth, her delicate nose, finally resting on her vivid, plump lips.

"..."

"Captain Lu?" Wen Xian's heart thumped inexplicably as he stared suddenly.

Lu Xiao withdrew his gaze, finally sat back, his back straight, his hand resting on the steering wheel, his eyes fixed ahead, his expression stern, as if nothing had happened.

Yet his Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

As the car started again, a faint hum sounded from his nose, a bit husky, "You did that on purpose."

"I—"

"Don't explain, I don't want to hear it."

Lu Xiao cut her off.

He pressed his foot on the accelerator, ready to leave this place.

"That, you—"

"Don't talk."

"No, I mean to say—"

"Explanations are just cover-ups, cover-ups mean you did it intentionally, what else do you want to say!?"

Lu Xiao abruptly pressed the brake pedal, turning his head to look at her, his lips pursed lightly.

Wen Xian paused for a few seconds, then finally pointed with a slender white finger at the handbrake: "I, I meant to say, you didn't pull the handbrake."

Not pulling the handbrake, stepping on the gas, would wear down the clutch and also waste a lot of fuel.

Lu Xiao: "..."

He looked down, saw the unreleased handbrake, and went silent.

The next second, he pulled the handbrake, stepped on the accelerator, and immediately left.

Wen Xian sat in the passenger seat, her face slowly moving towards the car window, her lips uncontrollably curling up a little.

He should be a very skilled driver, especially in the western terrain where driving an all-terrain vehicle can be challenging, but he just forgot to pull the handbrake.

The streets outside the car window, people flashing by.

The fierce sun scorched the earth.

Wen Xian thought, the west, truly wonderful.

Lu Xiao drove and stopped at a red light, his gaze caught through the rear-view mirror the curve of the woman's lips—

Lu Xiao's heart skipped a beat.

Almost had a heart attack.

After some circulations, the two finally located a large shopping mall, its top emblazoned with the bold letters: Snow Mountain Department Store.

Finding a lingerie store alone is difficult, but such a large mall would definitely have one.

The two got out of the car and walked in.

Today being Saturday, there were quite a few people, since this was the only large mall in the area.

They took the elevator to the third floor, Wen Xian could see from a distance a seductively dressed mannequin standing at the entrance of a lingerie store.

She immediately walked briskly towards it.

But as she walked, she suddenly felt something was off.

She stopped, turned around.

And found that Lu Xiao was still near the elevator, not having followed her.

Raising her hand to touch her nose, she awkwardly looked around, her gaze not even glancing her way.
