Chapter 508: Chapter 508: She Doesn’t Love Him, It Doesn’t Matter, As Long As He Loves Her Chapter 508: Chapter 508: She Doesn’t Love Him, It Doesn’t Matter, As Long As He Loves Her He once thought he could bear it, even if she had that kind of relationship with Fang Lilin.
Besides, it was only someone in her heart.
He had known about it long ago, hadn’t he?
Compared to losing her, he could endure anything.
Even if it was deeply painful.
But it didn’t matter.
Xia Weibao’s nose turned sour, and tears fell in an instant.
Lu Hualiang put a finger to her lips, “There’s no need to apologize; you haven’t done anything wrong.”
It was he who had married her without clarifying that her heart belonged to someone else, and it was he who had fallen for her recklessly.
What had she done wrong?
Xia Weibao’s eyes were red, on the verge of crying, “Don’t be so good to me.”
Really, don’t be so good to her.
She was afraid that she would not be able to guard her own heart.
She was truly afraid that one day she would lose her way and betray Emperor Xia Liang.
Lu Hualiang didn’t speak; he just held her tightly.
Bowing his head, he buried it in her hair, inhaling the scent that belonged only to her.
“I only have one request, don’t leave me.”
He humbly clung to this marriage, simply hoping not to lose her.
That was his lowest demand.
It didn’t matter if she didn’t love him; he loved her, and that was enough.
Why did it have to be her?
He didn’t know when he started liking her.
He only knew that by the time he realized he had fallen in love with her, it was already beyond help.
Xia Weibao closed her eyes, and tears streamed down.
The two sat for a while, and then went to have breakfast.
Lu Hualiang hadn’t eaten either, waiting for her to wake up.
The breakfast table was silent; he kept adding food to her plate, taking care of her while he himself didn’t eat anything.
Silence, a suffocating silence.
He was very gentle, but his gentleness was like a prison, stifling her breath.
The longer she stayed with him, the more Xia Weibao realized that Lu Hualiang was truly a good man.
When he decided to be nice to you, he could really pamper you to the skies.
However, she could not respond.
So, this kindness felt like a burden to her, a sin.
It filled her heart with guilt.
After breakfast, while Lu Hualiang went to work, she called Sister Xia Shi.
“Sister Xia Shi, please arrange some work for me, preferably out of town.”
Today was really too oppressive.
The depth of Lu Hualiang’s affection suffocated her; it pressed her to the point of wanting to escape.
Perhaps, leaving was the best choice for both herself and him.
Since she couldn’t respond to him, then she should just go.
To let him go as well as herself.
Maybe a little time apart would cool things down.
On the other end of the phone, Xia Shi frowned, “Did you and Director Lu have a fight?”
Xia Weibao suddenly felt guilty, her gaze flickering, “No… No, we didn’t fight.”
“If you didn’t fight, why are you avoiding him? Be careful, Director Lu is the man every woman in Huaxia wants to marry. Who knows how many are watching him closely.
If someone else takes him, don’t cry later.
It’s normal for couples to fight, you…”
“Sister Xia Shi, we really didn’t fight, I just wanted to get some fresh air.”
There was a pause on the line, “Okay then, the endorsement for ‘Honor of Kings’ has been settled. Their headquarters are in T City, perfect for shooting the endorsement photos and advertisements.”
“Okay, good, we’ll set off today,” Xia Weibao agreed.
Actually, there was no need to rush; T City was just next door. It was a one-hour flight away, so going tomorrow wouldn’t have been too late.
But considering Xia Weibao might really need to clear her head, she didn’t say anything else.
