Lord! Give up, my wife is a black and white vest

Chapter 687 Wen Li: "I want to see him one last time"

The governor's mansion was even quieter at night. The chaos in his heart seemed deafening in such a quiet environment, making him irritable and uncomfortable.

Wen Li's figure lingered at the door of Lu Xixiao's room. She wanted to go in to see Lu Jingyuan and General Hei, and wanted to see Lu Xixiao, but she was afraid of disturbing them, so she didn't go in in the end and left quietly.

Lu Xixiao also had trouble falling asleep. Even though Wen Li was right next to him, he still missed her madly. He looked at Lu Jingyuan, who seemed to be sleeping peacefully in his arms tonight. Unable to suppress his inner emotions, he quietly let him go, then got out of bed and left the room.

A tall and thin figure walked through the corridor and came to Wen Li's door. The door was ajar and light shone through the crack.

It was so quiet inside that not a sound could be heard. Lu Xixiao wasn't sure whether she was asleep or not, so he gently pushed the door open and walked in.

When I walked in, I saw Wen Li standing on the terrace in thin clothes, enjoying the breeze.

Wen Li was obviously lost in thought and didn't notice his arrival until he hugged her from behind. She was so shocked that her whole body froze.

She didn't know how long she had been standing here in the cold wind. Lu Xixiao felt the chill in his arms and couldn't help but tighten his arms to warm her. He rested his chin on her thin shoulder and pressed his cheek against her cold face. Lu Xixiao closed his eyes contentedly, feeling the long-lost relaxation and peace of mind, and his trauma was healed.

As if frozen, she reacted slowly after a moment. She slowly grabbed the arm that was around her waist and held on tightly.

Neither of them spoke, just quietly enjoying this long-lost warmth. The last time they had close contact was when Lu Xixiao collapsed because he couldn't support himself. When he woke up, he found Wen Li sleeping beside him. If possible, Lu Xixiao wanted to hold her like this.

Wen Li, like him, didn't want to think about anything at this moment.

After a long time, without waiting for her to say anything, Lu Xixiao took the initiative to break this beautiful silence and asked her: "...He can't hold on for much longer, don't you plan to do something for him?"

This terrace overlooks a corner of the dungeon. It was so late that she wasn't in the bedroom but standing here. It was obvious what she was looking at and thinking. When he entered the room, Lu Xixiao had the urge to turn around and leave, but the moment he saw Wen Li, his brain and body uncontrollably leaned towards Wen Li, as if he had lost his consciousness.

Qi Yu's problem should be solved as soon as possible. In the past few days, Lu Xixiao has been waiting for Wen Li to speak, but Wen Li has never contacted him for Qi Yu.

Previously, he felt that Wen Li was partial to Qi Yu and had resentment in his heart, so he intentionally or unintentionally neglected Wen Li. During the time he was looking for Lu Jingyuan, the relationship between the two almost reached the point where it was better not to meet each other. After finding Lu Jingyuan, their relationship did not warm up. After Qi Yu was captured and taken to the governor's mansion, they still had almost no words to each other. Although it seemed that nothing had changed, Lu Xixiao knew that the two were drifting apart, and would definitely drift apart.

Of course he couldn't accept it, so he took the initiative to come.

Wen Li's voice slowly rose, and without any emotion, she asked him back, "If I plead for you on his behalf, will you let him go?"

Wen Li's words hit Lu Xixiao's heart like a fist.

As expected, her heart leaned towards Qi Yu. He, Jing Yuan, and General Hei combined were not as important as Qi Yu.

After a while, Lu Xixiao finally eased the pain in his heart and accepted this cruel reality. He suppressed his emotions and answered her: "I don't want to let him go, but if you ask me, I will."

Unexpectedly, she said, "But I can't do that."

Anyone can save Qi Yu, except her. Especially since Lu Xixiao said that he was willing to let Qi Yu go for her, she couldn't do it anymore.

Hearing her say this, Lu Xixiao felt a little surprised.

Lu Xixiao: "You said that no matter how I deal with him, you won't stop me."

Wen Li: "I have no right and no reason to stop you."

Lu Xixiao: "You said you wouldn't blame me or hate me for killing him."

Wen Li: "No."

Lu Xixiao: "Will his death affect us?"

Wen Li was silent.

Lu Xixiao: "If Qi Yu died in my hands, could we still act like before and pretend nothing happened?"

Wen Li's lips moved, but she couldn't answer him.

His self-deprecating chuckle rang in her ears. Wen Li felt distressed and guilty. She closed her eyes and said, "Lu Xixiao, I can't promise you."

Her honesty was hurtful.

Lu Xixiao: "I understand. It's cold, let's go back to the bedroom."

His voice was filled with disappointment as he let go of her and turned away.

Wen Li: "Lu Xixiao, I want to see him one last time."

Lu Xixiao didn't even turn his head: "It's up to you."

His back revealed endless heartache.
