Chapter 180 Drunk.

Lu Xiao had never thought about it this way, even though she knew very well that Admiral Klan had personally arranged for Ares to go to the battlefield, but his starting point must have been good.

Moreover, Ares’s opinion had been sought in this matter, and she was also an insider. If they were unwilling, they could refuse.

So how could she put the blame for this incident on Admiral Crane?

She shook the lollipop in her hand and said, “I know my father did this for our own good, so how can I blame you? Didn’t you come here today just to accompany me?”

Admiral Clan felt relieved after hearing this, and his expression became much more natural: “Well, I’m worried that Ares will suddenly not be at home, and you will not be able to adapt to it and be afraid.”

Lu Xiao was a little surprised by Admiral Clan’s directness. In her impression, Admiral Clan was always reserved and never said what he could do.

This was the first time that he had expressed his feelings so frankly, but it made Lu Xiao very happy.

That’s how it is, is there anything that can’t be said directly?
“That’s perfect. I’ll make a few side dishes and we can have a drink tonight. Is that okay, father?”

“Of course.” Faced with Lu Xiao’s proposal and invitation, Admiral Clan did not refuse, nor did he want to refuse.

“Then father, you take a rest first. I’ll go prepare. It’ll be quick.” Originally, Ares left suddenly and Lu Xiao was in no mood to eat. But now that Admiral Clan came to accompany her, it just cheered her up and eased her worries.

Admiral Clan looked at Lu Xiao, who had regained her spirits, with a smile in his eyes, and sent a message to Ares: “Don’t worry, Xiao Xiao is fine.”

Ares responded quickly: “Okay, thank you.”

Admiral Crane: “No need to thank me for that. I wish you all the best.”

In fact, when he received the message from Ares today asking him to come over to see Lu Xiao in the evening, this was also his original plan.

Suddenly, Ares was sent to the front battlefield. Although he had to make such an arrangement for Lu Xiao’s better future, he still felt bad about it.

After all, his arrangement directly disrupted the peaceful life of Lu Xiao and Ares.

This created difficulties for their originally harmonious life.

He was still worried that Lu Xiao would blame him for meddling in other people’s business.

But fortunately, his little female cub understood his intention.

Lu Xiao quickly prepared two side dishes, cold beef and peanuts, and paired them with dumplings that she had made today, and brought them to the small dining table in the yard. After the father and daughter sat down, they could enjoy the night view while drinking wine and chatting about life, which was very pleasant.

Admiral Clan had never experienced such a life, but it seemed that as long as he was with Lu Xiao, everything was so natural and peaceful.

It’s easy to relax your tense nerves.

Even the wine tonight seemed to have become especially sweet and delicious.

“Starting tomorrow, I will arrange some people to escort you to and from get off work, but don’t worry, they will not appear to disturb your life unless necessary.” After drinking another glass of wine, Clan told Lu Xiao about his arrangements.

Lu Xiao waved her hand when she heard this: “Father, you don’t have to be like this. I drive myself to and from get off work now. Nothing will happen. I’ve been like this for a long time. It was the same when Ares was at home. Don’t worry.”

Admiral Clan saw that she really didn’t know, and couldn’t help but feel satisfied with Ares in his heart: “That’s because you didn’t notice. Ares would quietly follow you when you go to and from get off work, and he would only leave after he escorted you to your destination.”

Hearing this suddenly, Lu Xiao’s eyes widened unconsciously: “How could it be, how could father know?” “Of course he told me when he left, and he also specifically reminded me not to let my guard down. Those people in the Black Tower have not been caught yet, and I don’t know where they are lurking. Even when I came here tonight, Ares contacted me in advance. He is really dedicated to protecting you.”

Lu Xiao never expected that Ares had silently paid so much without her knowing.

But if you think about it, this does seem like something Ares would do.

Suddenly she smiled, her eyes a little moist. What should she do? Ares had just left and she already missed him.

Seeing Lu Xiao’s sadness, Admiral Clan sighed softly: “It’s my fault for forcibly separating you two. If you want to blame someone, blame me, right?”

Lu Xiao shook her head: “Don’t say that, father. Ares has actually been working hard for promotion. He would have fought for such an opportunity even if you didn’t take the initiative. It’s my fault. I have put a lot of pressure on him invisibly.”

But in fact, she doesn’t mind at all, whether Ares’s status is high or low, she always likes this person.

But she knew very well that in order to maintain the harmony of a family, both partners needed to make progress together. If one person developed too quickly, it would cause the other person’s mentality to be unbalanced, which would then cause many family conflicts.

Ares may not understand this truth, but he himself is a person who seeks to make progress. He will not allow himself to become a hindrance to Lu Xiao or a stumbling block on the road to success.

He would never allow himself to be unworthy of Lu Xiao and become a stain on her.

She understood all this, so when Ares asked her to go to the battlefield, she agreed even though she knew it was dangerous there.

Because she also didn’t want to be a stumbling block on Ares’s way forward. They were both working hard for each other’s good and to help each other succeed.

They all know it.

Admiral Clan looked at Lu Xiao, who was reluctant to see Ares leave but would rather be sad in silence, and for the first time he clearly realized the feelings between the two.

He had never experienced this before, let alone seen it in his life.

So now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I cannot calm down.

It turns out that true love and companionship can be so touching.

“You and Ares will definitely get better and better, Xiaoxiao.” Admiral Clan drank a glass of wine and silently vowed that he would protect such a sincere relationship.

Lu Xiao wiped her tears, picked up her wine glass and clinked it with Admiral Klan’s, then said with a smile, “Father, please don’t tell Ares about what happened tonight. I don’t want him to worry, and I don’t want him to know that I cried so miserably after he left. It’s too embarrassing. I have to maintain my image in his heart!”

“Okay, I won’t tell you. Tonight is a secret between the two of us. Are you okay with that? Or why don’t you just stop drinking?”

“Father, please don’t underestimate me!” Lu Xiao smiled and drank the wine in the glass, suppressing her reluctance and nostalgia for Ares.

The male she raises will surely spread his wings and fly higher and farther.

She will always love him, bless him, and be his strong support!

By the time they finished drinking, the food was gone, and Lu Xiao was snoring on the table, looking like a little female cub who wanted to get herself drunk.

Admiral Clan sighed, still feeling somewhat guilty. In fact, there was no need to rush to arrange for Ares to go to the battlefield. It would not hurt to wait a little longer.

He underestimated how deeply Lu Xiao loved Ares.
