Chapter 358: Chapter 358: Director Lu Arrives, Time for Sweetness Chapter 358: Chapter 358: Director Lu Arrives, Time for Sweetness “Why are you here?”
Xia Weibao hurriedly looked behind her and, upon finding the host had not followed, closed the door a bit like a thief.
Fearing being discovered.
“You didn’t get caught coming here, did you?”
It had been so long since they’d seen each other, and Lu Hualiang was originally delighted to see her, but her skulking manner instantly soured his mood.
“What, am I an embarrassment to you? Not fit to be seen?”
Xia Weibao was astonished, wondering what was wrong now, who had provoked him this time.
“No, it’s not that, we’re in a secret marriage, what if someone saw you?”
A small arrow of sorrow struck Director Lu’s tiny heart.
This hurdle was insurmountable…
He gestured to her to come over, and Xia Weibao was somewhat puzzled.
But she went over anyway.
Lu Hualiang grabbed her hand and with a slight tug, pulled her into his arms.
Xia Weibao was about to struggle when he sternly stopped her.
Next, her arm was lifted up.
“Does it still hurt?”
His voice was gentle with a hint of heartache, causing Xia Weibao to be taken aback.
Still hurt? What did he mean?
Seeing her speechless, Lu Hualiang flicked her forehead with his finger, full of indulgence.
Then he gently took her arm, his movements tender, as if afraid of hurting her.
Upon seeing her fair and delicate arm, he frowned, “Weren’t you injured?”
Yesterday, after learning she had been attacked, he immediately had Yang Li investigate what had happened.
It was only this morning that Yang Li reported back to him, saying she had been injured, and it was very serious, almost rendering her entire arm useless.
Heaven knows how worried he had been and couldn’t help but come to see her.
But that arm, did it look like it was injured?
Xia Weibao belatedly realized, oh, he was talking about this.
“I’m fine, it’s fake.”
How could Jiang Liang have hurt her, those wounds were faked with medicine to create an illusion.
It was nothing more than a scare tactic to keep that man in line, that’s all.
Seeing her cunning expression, Lu Hualiang was speechless.
His long index finger lightly tapped her forehead, “Can’t you stay out of trouble?”
He was so worried for her.
Xia Weibao pouted; how was she to know that he would find out about the matters in the military camp.
And it’s not like she had thought that far ahead.
Her attention diverted, Her Majesty the Empress totally failed to notice that she was still sitting in Lu Hualiang’s lap.
Lu Hualiang wrapped his arms around her waist, his smile lingering as he gazed at her.
His voice was seductive, “Did you miss me?”
His warm breath was on her neck.
Such intimate gestures made Xia Weibao’s neck ticklish, as if a faint electric current was running through it.
She shrank her neck back, “No…”
It was nice here, with beauties, people to fight with, and so many king accounts to play with, no time to miss anyone.
Another small arrow of sorrow struck Lu Hualiang’s heart.
Could his wife not have been a bit less candid, even a little white lie would have been better.
Lu Hualiang felt somewhat defeated, wondering just when her heart would belong to him.
Fortunately, there was now only one man by her side, him, giving him time to pursue her slowly.
“I will deal with Jiang Liang.”
Anyone who dared to mess with his woman must be tired of living!
Xia Weibao shook her head, “It’s not necessary, I already beat him so badly he is bedridden, don’t bother with him.”
After thinking for a moment, she added, “Director Lu, don’t intervene in my affairs.”
In her previous life, she had already been controlled enough by Dog Emperor, having lost her freedom, unable to make her own decisions about anything.
In this life, she just wanted to live freely and happily, never again wanting anyone to interfere in her affairs.
