In the western jurisdiction’s dining hall.

Members at the dining table were all talking animatedly about something.

Old Mr. Li was drinking butter tea wrapped in a big robe, Amah was eating cheese pancakes, and even the seven-year-old chubby kid was devouring a chicken leg without looking away.

Above the table, the lights swung brightly, bustling with noise.

Below the table, it was like another world.

Dim and secret.

Wen Xian felt as though she could clearly sense the burning heat emanating from beneath his trouser leg.

That leg was just as toned and powerful.

Of course, she could also feel his muscles becoming even harder.

Yet, while she did that under the table, her eyes looked as innocent as ever when she gazed at him.

As innocent as a deer in the forest.

Lu Xiao stared at her intently, his jawline tensing even more, his fist clenched tightly.

Suddenly—

Someone’s chopsticks seemed to have dropped, and they quickly bent down to pick them up.

“Thud—!”

A muffled sound came, and Wen Xian quickly leaned to the side, nearly losing her balance and falling over.

“Ah, Xian sister, are you okay, are you!?”

Sang Nian and the others hurriedly asked, Amah was also startled and quickly steadied her.

Wen Xian: “…”

!!!

She awkwardly supported herself on the table, adjusted her breathing, and when she looked back at them, she smiled gently at them, “…I’m fine! I just didn’t sit steadily, no trouble.”

“It’s good that you’re okay! Looks like this old stool needs to be changed! Almost caused our Xian sister to fall!”

Sang Nian said somewhat angrily.

It had to be said, his flattery, as her avid fan, was becoming more skillful.

Having said that, Wen Xian sat up straight again, and when she looked at the man across from her—

Her previously pure eyes became sharp and captivating, brightly revealing her emotions.

Lu Xiao, on the other hand, maintained a calm expression as he locked eyes with her, continuing to chew his food.

His face was nonchalant as if nothing had happened just before.

And as if the person who had quickly moved her foot out of the way when someone bent down to pick up chopsticks wasn’t him either.

Wen Xian: “…”

Heh, this damned man!

She clenched the spoon in her hand, and in that moment of their gaze clashing, it seemed as though fierce sparks were flying between them.

Neither wanted to back down, neither wanted to lose!!

Wen Xian just couldn’t believe this nonsense!

He was a man, how could he possibly have no feelings when faced with her!

So what if he was a cold and aloof captain? All men can be completely subdued by a woman, let alone her, a woman of countless charms!

By tonight, she was going to taste what this captain was made of!!

A faint sneer spread across Wen Xian’s lips.

She wanted to see just how much of a gentleman he really was!

It couldn’t be helped.

The colder and more unmoved a man was, the more she wanted to conquer him!

The more she wanted to see, such cold and stern men, upright and proper, how they would look in that kind of situation…!

…

Their gaze was abruptly interrupted by Zha Xi’s sudden interjection—
