Lu Hualiang no longer wanted to talk; he had seen her charge into the tower several times to fight with others. If she didn’t die, who would?
However, faced with his wife’s sincere gaze, he might as well have fed his conscience to the dogs.
"Mm, the computer is too powerful, it’s not your fault," he said, without a blush or a heartbeat—a state of mind all its own.
Hearing what she wanted to hear, Her Majesty the Empress was in a very good mood.
She didn’t want to play anymore, waiting for her husband to take her to the top rank.
Holding her phone, she wandered about; ever since finding out Lu Hualiang was Emperor Xia Liang, she knew she was no longer alone.
Even in Another World, he was with her, so she gradually assimilated into this new environment.
After blending in, she discovered—holy crap, this era was freaking amazing!
The variety and richness absolutely surpassed the entertainment of the ancient times that relied solely on watching plays!
Not to mention, a whole world existed inside just one smartphone.
So dazzling it bewildered her.
After drying her hair, Xia Weibao sat up with a flip, kneeling on the bed, her eyes shining as she looked at Lu Hualiang.
As if saying, hubby hubby, come play games, take me to the top rank.
Lu Hualiang chuckled lightly, returning the hairdryer to the bathroom.
When he came out, instead of grabbing his phone, he opened the box he had brought back that evening.
Xia Weibao blinked, kneeling on the bed and moving closer, curious about what was inside.
Could it be spicy strips?
But she couldn’t smell the spicy scent.
Her husband was so nice!
Leaning in, she saw a whole box filled with something, neatly packed in little square boxes.
Xia Weibao picked up a box, furrowing her brows as she muttered to herself, "What is this?"
It didn’t look like it.
She sniffed it; there was a faint strawberry scent.
"Strawberry leaf candy?" she mused.
Seeing her look like a foodie stuffing her face, Lu Hualiang couldn’t help but chuckle.
"Why are you laughing?" Xia Weibao said with furrowed brows, continuing to examine the box in her hand. "Durex..."
The name sounded familiar. Flipping through the original owner’s memories, Weibao’s body suddenly stiffened, her face turning gloriously dark.
She threw the condom back in the man’s face, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment, "Lu Hualiang, have you no shame?"
Buying condoms was one thing, but a whole box of them!
Where was his face, his sense of shame!
Her Majesty the Empress found that, comparing degrees of thick-skinnedness, adding both worlds together, she couldn’t compete with even a single layer of Lu Hualiang’s surface!
Lu Hualiang caught the condom she had thrown back, his smile carrying a deeper meaning, "Isn’t this a common tool between husband and wife? How am I being shameless?"
There was a rather uncivilized comment she couldn’t help but want to say, but she was afraid it might affect her image as a lady.
Lu Hualiang held the box she had just thrown back, his gaze both amused and teasing, "Wife, do you like the strawberry flavor? Let’s use this tonight."
Her face was burning, so hot she reckoned she could cook a raw egg on it!
"Why did you buy these?" she asked.
"What do you think I bought them for?" he retorted.
"You, you, you... You didn’t use these before," she said.
Lu Hualiang’s eyes darkened slightly; indeed, he hadn’t used them before because he wanted children.
But since she didn’t want any, he wouldn’t force her.
All drugs carry a degree of harm; how could he bear to let her take something that would damage her health.
He looked at her and said softly, "We don’t want children for now."
Xia Weibao’s face went pale, her mouth slightly open, a hint of terror in her eyes, "You..."
