Chapter 296 The Kind and Selfless Lord Lu

Just as he was thinking, Lu Ning knocked on the car window.

Zhao Xi opened the car window and asked angrily, "What's the matter?"

Lu Ning said, "We are going too fast. Weidong's team needs to slow down, otherwise his wound will split open. Do you want to go over and check on him?"

Zhao Xi hesitated for a moment.

Lu Chenyang said at this time: "He was injured while trying to save me. He rushed back to Huai'an City this time in order to get involved in government affairs earlier and share the burden with me."

Zhao Xi said, "I'll go see him!"

Zhao Xi stopped the carriage, jumped out, and ran towards Weidong's carriage.

Lu Chenyang felt that he was really kind, as he watched helplessly as his own cabbage was sent to someone else's pot.

Alas, how could he be so selfless and so kind?

It's really touching.

Zhao Xi climbed onto the carriage, and Wei Dong's eyes lit up when he saw her.

"I... I prepared some buns for you. Are you hungry? Eat some first." Wei Dong took out a paper bag from the side.

Zhao Xi was stunned: "When did you prepare it?"

Wei Dong said, "I asked someone to buy it when I went out. I kept it warm in hot water. Try it, it's filled with meat."

He poured hot water into the cup, placed the buns on the rim of the cup, and warmed the buns with the hot water.

It's really thoughtful.

Zhao Xi took it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up: "Can I...can I give one to the master?"

Weidong laughed, "Of course." After a pause, he whispered, "I didn't buy much this time. I will work hard to make money in the future and buy you a lot of delicious food. And for the adults too!"

Zhao Xi was stunned for a moment, met his eyes, and seemed a little surprised.

Wei Dong understood a little bit after seeing her reaction. He whispered again: "You...you understand, right?"

Zhao Xi felt a little flustered. She couldn't help licking her lips and said, "I don't understand what you said."

Zhao Xi turned around and wanted to get off the carriage. Wei Dong tried to grab her hand, but Zhao Xi subconsciously dodged, leaving him empty-handed.

Wei Dong quickly cried out: "Ah..."

Zhao Xi hurried to see him: "Your injury..."

Wei Dong grabbed her wrist and said, "I'm fine. The wound doesn't hurt. But we have something to worry about."

Zhao Xi was embarrassed and annoyed, even though she had many ways to break free from him. She had the silver needle hidden in her sleeve, and she also had the sleeping pills, any one of which could make him let her go.

If pushed to the limit, she has three or five kinds of poisons on her.

However, she hesitated. She didn't want to use any of those methods on him.

Zhao Xi felt that she had sacrificed too much for her master's life-saving grace.

Wei Dong grasped her hand by the wrist, his eyes piercing hers. "You understand, don't you? Even that blockhead Lu Ning could see it. You're smart, so you must know it too. I like you, I really like you. I want to be with you forever. I want to have children with you, grow old with you, and become grandparents... I want to go with you to see the great world created by the adults."

Zhao Xi was stunned for a moment, perhaps because his words were too sincere, which made her feel an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Wei Dong pursed his lips and looked at her nervously: "Then...then are you willing?"

Zhao Xi frowned and looked conflicted.

Wei Dong lowered his eyes in disappointment, with a sad but pretending to be strong expression on his face.

"You don't want to?" Wei Dong lowered his eyes. He was obviously a rough man, but now he looked like a big wet dog. He felt pitiful just looking at him. "Then it must be because I'm not good enough, so you don't want to."

He raised his head and smiled firmly, "But I won't give up. I will work hard to keep me in your heart."

That determined and hardworking expression on his face makes him look very motivated.

Zhao Xi blushed a little and coughed lightly: "...Then, then you should work hard."

Weidong nodded seriously.

Weidong was not in a hurry. Since the girl did not refuse, it meant there was a chance.

Although the girl wasn't young anymore, other girls her age would have already become mothers. But she had been with Lu Chenyang since she was little, raised by him. She only had eyes for him. To put it bluntly, she hadn't really figured it out yet. He was right to wait a little longer; he could always make her want him.

Weidong is full of confidence.

When Zhao Xi went out to get food, Wei Dong quietly said to the soldier driving the cart, "Drive slower. My wound hasn't healed yet, and I can't stand the rush."

The soldier looked at his rosy face and raised his eyebrows. Just as he was about to say something, Wei Dong said, "I'll treat you to a drink when we get back."

The soldier grinned and said, "Okay."

Wei Dong nodded with satisfaction. They were the only two in the carriage this whole journey, and he didn't believe that the girl wouldn't fall deeply in love with him!

Lu Chenyang didn't care about all these things, he had to rush to Huai'an City first.

Today, Huai'an City is finally getting lively. There are shops open on the streets and pedestrians can be seen.

When someone heard that Lu Chenyang was returning to the city today, the people all ran out to see him. Lu Chenyang felt relieved and even changed his horse's ride and greeted the people.
