190 Detailed Plans 3 (2/2)
No wonder the prince sent me to protect her. Lady Xia is too kind.
With a new found determination, Bao Su vowed in his heart that he would keep any eye on any potential threats. And since, Yinri was their newest addition, he decided to keep an eye on her movements.
Not knowing that Xia Lian and Yinri are acquainted from their past life, Bao Su made an useless resolution to keep his guard against Yinri.
...
”So, when are we leaving this place?” Before Xia Lian could open her mouth, Lu Wen surprised her with his question.
”How did you know that I'm taking you with me?” Xia Lian sported a baffled look.
Lu Wen raised his brows and sneered as if saying 'Are you really that stupid?'
”Other than me and my wife, who is left ah?!” Saying so, Lu Wen flicked Xia Lian's forehead.
”Ah!” Rubbing her forehead, Xia Lian mumbled ”Fine! You are right and we will leave tomorrow. Please prepare your wife for the trip.”
”Did both of you forget that I'm here?” With blackened face, Yang Qiu scowled. He was standing here and the brother and sister pair are discussing about him, treating him as some invisible ghost.
”Dear wife, you wound me. How could I ever forget you?” With a mock hurt expression, Lu Wen placed his hand against his chest, his actions earning a sneer from Yang Qiu.
”As if you remembered me!” Flicking his sleeves, Yang Qiu left the room as he harrumphed.
”Brother Lu, it seems that your wife is sulking.” Xia Lian chirped, her tone containing traces of laughter.
”Yes ah! I'm off to placate him now.” With a smile tugging at the corner of his lips, Lu Wen bounced out of the room.
Ah! With Lu Wen and Yang Qiu, this trip will never be dull... Xia Lian mused.
”Commander...”
”Hmm...”
”Why am I getting the feeling that you asked Lu Wen and Yang Qiu to come only for the reason that you can see some PDA?”
*Cough! Cough!*
How come this girl always guesses right about me?
What she said was completely true, she did not want the stern Bao Su with her. And, Yinri was the best to train the army, so she could not take her. And personally, she liked Lu Wen. So, the decision was long made in her heart.
Burying the guilt in her heart, Xia Lian spoke with a calm and collected expression ”No, that's not the case. Bao Su is the best to help you with the army training. Doctor He has his own work. Lu Wen and Yang Qiu are the only ones who are idle now. They have decent martial arts, so, they are most suited with me on this journey.”
Though dubious in her heart, Yinri nodded as Xia Lian's words indeed made some sense.
