Chapter 262: Mrs. Lu's Heartache

He watched that scene unfold, his eyes becoming inexplicably dark and troubled—

He sat there, his body stiffening.

When he tried to bow his head, wanting to take out a cigarette, his fingers trembled slightly.

Wen Xian observed Cheng Dongyuan's actions, her gaze calmly watching him, and she finally smiled faintly, saying,

"Cheng Dongyuan, if only I truly had a brother like you."

He was a man excellent in every way, yet she could not harbor any unclean thoughts about him.

Cheng Dongyuan paused, then looked at her and raised his hand to touch her head, saying a few words, "As long as you're happy, anything is fine."

Upon hearing this, Wen Xian immediately shook her head and lowered it, letting out a chuckle.

He said he genuinely would be her brother, and she might consider it, but if his answer was ambiguous, all she could do was to gradually distance herself.
