I Became the Male Lead’s Stepmother After Transmigrating - Chapter 168

Lu Wanggui stepped back slightly. It was not that he did not want to kiss her rosy lips, but he suddenly wanted to kiss her eyes even more. Xiang Xiaoyuan felt a relatively unfamiliar excitement in her heart. She raised her head to look at the starry sky above her and deliberately changed the topic. “Are we just going to sit here?”

Lu Wanggui smiled. “Do you want to go to the winery to take a look?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan looked at him.

“Not to drink. Just to take a look. The scenery there is pretty good. Although we can’t see much at this time, I said I’ll take you out to get some fresh air.”

“Okay.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan couldn’t wait to get up. “I also want to see what kind of wine you have hidden here.”

Just like that, the two of them prepared to go out. Before they left, Lu Wanggui saw that Xiang Xiaoyuan was wearing the pair of stilettos that she was wearing when she came. Just as he was about to speak, he thought of something and a trace of a smile flashed across his eyes. In the end, he did not say anything.

Xiang Xiaoyuan held his arm and walked out of the door briskly. The area was well-maintained. Although it was halfway up the mountain, the road was very specially designed. Lu Wanggui pulled her into his arms and introduced the surroundings to her as they walked.

There was quite a distance from the glass house to the winery. After walking for a while, Xiang Xiaoyuan could not ignore the discomfort in her feet. She was wearing new shoes today. Although they were beautiful, they were making her feet sore after walking for a long time.

Xiang Xiaoyuan wanted to cry but no tears came out. She was thrown off by Lu Wanggui’s kiss today and forgot to change into a pair of comfortable shoes before going out. Men really messed things up!

At this moment, Lu Wanggui stopped. Xiang Xiaoyuan did not notice it. She took two steps forward and realized that there was no one beside her. She turned around and saw that he had stopped under the streetlamp. His voice was steady as he said, “I’ll carry you.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan: “? ? ?”

Carry her?

She had not decided whether she should agree or not, but her body had betrayed her. By the time Xiang Xiaoyuan reacted, she was already lying on Lu Wanggui’s back.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and giggled as she shook her legs. For some reason, as she lay on his broad back, she suddenly felt like she had earned something. Although it was stupid of her to wear high heels, she wouldn’t have had the opportunity to be carried by Lu Wanggui if she hadn’t.

Eh?

Wait!

Xiang Xiaoyuan narrowed her eyes and deliberately tightened her hands. She pressed her chin on his shoulder. “CEO Lu, I have a question for you.”

Lu Wanggui, “Sure, but don’t grip so tightly.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan tightened her grip even more. “I just looked down at my shoes for a few seconds. How did you know that my feet hurt? Are you just really observant or…” She paused, her tone was suspicious. “Or did you already know that my feet would hurt?”

Lu Wanggui could not help but laugh. When he laughed, his chest vibrated, and even she, who was lying on his back, felt it.

Xiang Xiaoyuan snorted and slightly let go of his neck. Then, she pinched his arm hard.

Lu Wanggui only smiled. It seemed that he was always in a very happy mood when he was with her.

Xiang Xiaoyuan’s mood lightened up quickly. After a while, she had already forgotten about it. She lay on his back and listened to his breathing. She asked, “Am I heavy?”

“Do you want to hear the truth or the lie?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan: “? ? ?”

Where was the gentle and elegant Lu Wanggui?

“I want to hear something nice.”

Lu Wanggui thought for a moment and said, “Come closer.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan obeyed and hugged him even tighter. Her lips brushed against his earlobe. He suddenly stopped as if he had stepped on the emergency brake. He gave her a fright. “What? You scared me to death. Why did you suddenly stop?”

She clearly did not realize what she had done.

Lu Wanggui’s gaze was deep, but she could not see it. He smiled and said, “You can listen to the sound of my breathing. If the breathing is very heavy, it means that it is very difficult to carry you.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan really listened for a moment. She suddenly realized that if his breathing was light and even just now, then at this moment, it was a little… how should she put it? It seemed to be a special kind of heavy breathing.

Xiang Xiaoyuan snorted twice. “You mean I’m very heavy?”

Lu Wanggui sighed and Xiang Xiaoyuan said, “You’ve been silent for five seconds. Are you silently confirming what I said?”

Lu Wanggui said, “Actually, I don’t know how to answer your question.”

‘What do you mean?”

“Because I don’t have a reference. I don’t know if you’re light or heavy.” Lu Wanggui smiled faintly.. “I’ve never carried other people, so don’t make things difficult for me by asking this question.”
