Chapter 337: Chapter 334 Chapter 337: Chapter 334 She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck.

“Lu Xiao, I’ve missed you so much, so much…”

Just having woken up, she was extra clingy upon seeing him.

Her head rubbed incessantly against his chest before burying into the crook of his neck, nuzzling and nibbling like a small animal.

And Lu Xiao, truly overwhelmed by her longing and enthusiasm, struggled to fend her off. Not that he wanted to stop her; he let her fuss over him how she pleased.

But whether he could control himself was another matter entirely.

So.

When Wen Xian, her face flushed and lips swollen, panting lightly as she lay in his arms.

Pressed down on the hand that was burrowing into her clothes, she finally settled down obediently.

Wen Xian had thought it would be a long time before she saw him again, but his sudden appearance was an overwhelming surprise for her heart.

Her voice was still hoarse but soft and gentle, “Why have you come back? Isn’t it very busy over there?”

At her words, the man leaning against the headboard of the bed had a sudden deepness to his gaze.

He looked down, casting a quick glance over her body, and when he slowly began to speak, his tone was earnest:
“Ga Zhuo and the others are there to handle things. I’ve come back because there’s something even more important to attend to.”

He protected the lives and property of the people.

And she too was one of the people.

Moreover, there might be another one in her belly.

Therefore, she was a priority for his protection.

“Hmm? What is it?”

Wen Xian’s eyes were soft and bright, filled with his reflection.

What could it be that made Captain Lu, who’s always dedicated himself to others, suddenly return without a word?

Lu Xiao leaned against the headboard while Wen Xian lay in his embrace, her soft hair cascading down in slight disarray, a chaotic beauty.

The dim light accentuated her fair, delicate skin, and those languid, enchanting eyes gazed at him, exuding a soul-stirring charm from every angle.

Lu Xiao’s eyes grew even deeper and more intense.

His sexy Adam’s apple moved slightly.

Shen Lin had said his future wife would probably be anything but demure–a well-educated lady of note perhaps. But he had found himself a seductive enchantress instead.

What else could he have come back for?

Nothing much, just to wed this enchantress, have her bear his children and cherish her for a lifetime.

As he spoke again, Lu Xiao gazed at her and slowly said:
“I’ve come back this time to take responsibility for some people and some things. Blame me for not doing enough before, now God has allowed me to take responsibility for it all.”

Wen Xian: “…??”

Some people, some things? Responsibility?

What wrong had he done? She was even more confused.

“Wen Xian, have you been very tired lately?”

Lu Xiao raised his hand, gently touching her brow, still faintly tinged with fatigue, as though she hadn’t been resting well.

His tender caresses were so comforting that Wen Xian couldn’t help but yawn sweetly and close her eyes once more, resting her head against his chest with her arms wrapped tightly around him. She nodded and mumbled:
“…I’ve been very tired lately, like no matter how much I sleep, it’s never enough.”

Filming had thrown her sleep schedule completely out of whack–she’d fall asleep the moment she hit the bed.

At her words, Lu Xiao’s heart skipped a beat. Stroking her hair as she lay in his embrace, he suddenly said:
“When I came back this time, I saw that the neighbor’s girl, who’s the same age as me, has started kindergarten. The little girl had her hair tied up in pigtails, quite cute.”

Speaking, he paused for a moment, then added:
“What about you, do you like children? Boys or girls?”
