Chapter 131: Chapter 131 Suddenly Wanting to Give Her a Lifetime Commitment
Feeling her soft, boneless hand touch his forehead, Lu Hualiang’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Her hand was soft and smooth.
Cool to the touch, and very comfortable.
Especially when she felt his pulse, that fleeting contact of skin was something one could grow fond of.
Lu Hualiang lowered his gaze to her icy, jade-like hand and suddenly felt the impulse to hold it.
She sat by the bed, and they were very close; he could smell the faint fragrance from her body.
Looking up at her profile, her facial contours were soft and flowing, her skin so flawless it seemed veiled in mist.
She was truly beautiful, impeccable in every way.
His heartbeat suddenly quickened by two beats.
Lu Hualiang watched her quietly, suddenly feeling that he could do this for a lifetime without growing tired.
The thought startled him.
A lifetime was such a distant matter, such a heavy promise, yet he found himself wanting to give it to her.
The color in Lu Hualiang’s eyes grew deeper and deeper…
As he was lost in his amorous thoughts, Xia Weibao suddenly withdrew her hand.
Without that soft touch, he felt an emptiness inside.
A vague sense of melancholy, a bit like… loss?
“Housekeeper Fu, bring an ice pack and also paper and pen.”
Fever, something that one dose of medicine could handle.
Soon, the ice pack was brought over, and just as Housekeeper Fu was about to help Lu Hualiang apply it, he was stopped by a cold glare.
Housekeeper Fu’s chubby face quivered before he covertly handed the ice pack to Xia Weibao.
Xia Weibao wanted to say that he could apply it himself since she had to write a prescription.
But remembering that Lu Hualiang was sick, she said nothing and gently helped him with the ice pack.
Her movements were tender, and she would ask with concern if he was feeling uncomfortable.
Lu Hualiang felt that being cared for so attentively by her made it worthwhile, even if he had to play the sympathy card a few more times.
Though for a man, being sick all the time wasn’t good for one’s image.
Thinking about it, it did seem quite desperate; it had been years since he’d been sick, and now he had weakened himself just to move back into the master bedroom.
After Xia Weibao applied the ice pack, she turned to write the prescription.
“When did you learn Traditional Chinese Medicine?”
Lu Hualiang’s voice came from behind her, causing a jolt in Xia Weibao’s heart.
Yet she quickly regained her composure and mumbled vaguely, “Learned it before.”
“Where did you learn it?”
“What, you’re checking my background?” Her tone was displeased, as if she didn’t want to be asked about these things.
Because she couldn’t explain.
She certainly couldn’t say she learned it in a past life, that would probably get her committed to a psychiatric hospital for a long stay.
Lu Hualiang was somewhat disdainful, he had thoroughly investigated her background.
She didn’t even know the things he had uncovered about her.
However, he truly hadn’t found out when she had learned medicine, nor the source of her immense strength, her personality was completely different as well.
She had become a completely different person.
He really wanted to get to the bottom of it, to thoroughly understand this person, not to have this mountain standing between them!
But her tone had already turned quite displeased, and it wasn’t good for him to press further.
Moving back to the master bedroom was the priority.
So he said indifferently, “It’s nothing, just thought it was strange, now everyone studies Western medicine, yet you studied Traditional Chinese Medicine.”
Xia Weibao’s hand paused as she wrote the prescription; she suddenly wanted to see the difference between Chinese and Western medical treatments.
So she put down the pen, “That, I think your fever is too severe, we should send you to a hospital.”
