Crossing Worlds Provocation - Chapter 41

Chapter 41: Angry, Jealous?

Wenxian could only feel him staring at her until she got goosebumps, she laughed dryly, lifting her arm to rub the tip of her nose, stammering, “My assistant is calling me again, business is getting quite busy today.”

Lu Xiao looked at her expressionlessly, “People usually touch their nose subconsciously when they lie.”

With that, he returned her bag, then turned around to leave.

His footsteps became faster than before.

The hand Wenxian held up to touch her nose froze mid-air, “…”

!!!

F***, this damned Huo Qi!

Did she not tell him clearly!? Why did he have to call again!

Great, Lu Xiao had originally felt that she had a messy circle around her, with numerous men, so much so that she could even get in bed with men as and when she wanted…!

Although those were not totally true, but——

When Wenxian recalled how she acted guilty first, she instantly could not help but clench her teeth. She stomped her feet, then caught up to him.

The pedestrian street in that small town was considered lively, it just seemed like the offline economy was poor, as two stalls had already closed down.

Wenxian jogged after him the whole way, so annoyed that her gums were itching, so what if he was 1.88 meters tall!

Eventually, she ran so much her stomach started rumbling with hunger. She then grabbed Lu Xiao’s arm, panting with her chest pumping up and down, “Lu Xiao, let’s have a meal first, I’m so hungry.”

Lu Xiao’s eyebrows lifted slightly, he was about to say something, when he heard Wenxian’s stomach go, “Grr…”

He, “…”

Lu Xiao’s lips pursed faintly, unobtrusively retrieving his arm from her hands, replying coldly, “What do you want to eat.”

With that, Wenxian’s heart shook slightly.

Was she hallucinating?

Why did his surrounding aura become even colder than before, after Huo Qi called, as if he was angry?

There was a layer of ice hidden on his face.

Even intentionally, distancing himself from her.

Wenxian pondered deep down, while looking around in all directions, when she suddenly noticed a restaurant at the crossroad.

On a huge green colored sign, a few gold colored words boldly wrote out: [Xia Yang Family Hand-Held Mutton Restaurant]

The mutton balls caught her eye, so she stretched out her arm, “There!”

Lu Xiao looked over, then raised his arm to look at his watch, before walking over to that restaurant without a word.

According to their previous mission plan, now was about time that Sang Nian and Ga Zhuo would be communicating with the poachers about the transaction online.

It may take a day or two for them to take the bait, not so fast.

This place was a small town with narrow roads, and because the weather was not appropriate, there was not much greening by the roadside.

The mountains not too far away were all covered in white snow, covering several ropes from top to bottom.

Colorful streamers were tied on top and were flowing with the wind coming from the southwest direction.

The two reached the entrance of the restaurant which looked nothing special from the outside, somewhat similar to a hole in the wall.

However, upon pushing the door open to enter, it was pretty big inside, with quite a number of patrons too. There were also a few individual private rooms on the first floor.

Wenxian followed behind him, just then, a small white container truck drove past the entrance…!

The metal door at the back of the container was spoilled, and was held together by chains, but still revealed a black gap.

Wenxian held her nose subconsciously, looking at that vehicle.

What a strong smell.

She could not pinpoint what it was, it just smelled like urine, like the body smell of some animal.

The vehicle turned in front, driving to the back of the restaurant, and disappeared from her view.

Wenxian did not look further, retracting her gaze, and followed Lu Xiao into the restaurant.
