Chapter 117: Chapter 114: Shanghai, Encounter!

Lu Xiao finally just turned his head and walked away.

In the hospital room, their disbelief meant nothing to him and he couldn’t be bothered to explain.

After he left, Li Zaijun saw that Lu Xiao’s father was quite upset, she waved her hands repeatedly to soothe him:

“Don’t be angry, or I’ll be the one to suffer. Uncle, just look on the bright side. In the past, my brother wouldn’t even bother to search, but now at least he’s picked out a photo from the internet to placate you. You should secretly rejoice, he’s already improving.”

Great, these words only infuriated Lu Xiao’s father even more.

Li Zaijun hurriedly slipped out and arrived at the corridor’s window, just in time to see that tall and upright figure not looking back as he left.

She shook her head and sighed softly.

In fact, her brother was really too low-profile.

He had even gone to the Uninhabited Area of Qinghai and had already been there for three years.

In such a place, he did the most arduous and dangerous work, compounded by his naturally cold and reticent disposition, and having suffered a great blow before voluntarily retiring, his already reclusive heart had completely shut down.

Like a stubborn stone both stinky and hard, he maintained a poker face no matter who he was with. Not to mention doing dangerous work in the Uninhabited Area, even if he were to return to Beijing, finding a girlfriend would likely be difficult.

No matter how handsome he was, how great his physique, once a Special Forces Captain, the only son at home, with a deep family background… what of it.

After all, who would want to sleep next to a block of ice every night…

Still dreaming of the great beauty Wen Xian, tsk, behind her are countless graceful and eloquent handsome men, wealthy second generations chasing after her.

With his icy stoic demeanor, what does he have to compete with others?

The taxi pulled over to the curb.

The man leaned in to get into the car.

The driver asked, “Good afternoon, sir, where are we headed?”

The man was silent for a moment, then showed the driver an address on his phone.

…

…

Wen Xian’s latest movie is a romantic art film, and it’s currently promoting its premiere ceremony, held in a hall at the center of Shanghai.

It is also a major production in the industry.

Shot by a well-known director for art films, with the popular actress Wen Xian as the female lead and a top-tier actor as the male lead, even the smallest supporting role in this movie is played by a second-tier star.

Fans surge in crowds, circling outside before paying expensive tickets to see their male and female idols.

The event is immense and bustling, with many media outlets rushing to the scene for photography and interviews.

Outside the hall, security guards are on duty.

And just then.

The fans, as if catching wind of something, suddenly became restless.

Indeed, as a car drove in and they saw the male and female idols emerge, they immediately rushed forward, screaming—!

“Wen Xian! Wen Xian—!!”

“Ahhhh, Brother Xian—!”

The male and female leads arrived in separate cars, and the appearance of the male lead brought a chorus of screams; by the time Wen Xian arrived, the fervor was even more intense.

Today, she wore a strapless starry purple gown; her hair tied up, revealing a few locks, stunning and dazzling.

At her side, there was a male companion, a man with a slender figure, slightly thin but with a delicately handsome face.

Together, they looked like a beautiful painting.

At the very back of those fans, a street away, Lu Xiao stood under a sycamore tree, silently watching the scene.

“…”
