The three most important women in his life, the most important one had saved the other two, how could he not be happy.
His heart couldn’t help but fly to Xia Weibao’s side.
However, he couldn’t see her just yet.
Zhong Wanshu had gotten out of bed to walk for the first time, and she had even come to his house, so he had to go back and check on her first.
He took out his phone and dialed Xia Weibao’s number.
Even if he couldn’t see her, it was good to at least hear her voice.
Xia Weibao was very busy today, attending two charity events.
She had just finished her makeup when she received Lu Hualiang’s call. Glancing around the makeup room, seeing only herself and Xia Shi, she pressed the answer button.
"Hello," she dared not call him ’husband’, for fear that walls have ears.
Hearing the voice he had been longing for, Lu Hualiang found that he wanted to see her even more.
Xia Weibao was startled for a moment, then her face uncontrollably flushed red.
Strange, it wasn’t the first time he had whispered sweet nothings to her, why be shy.
This coy manner didn’t suit her at all.
But what was this feeling of timid joy in her heart?
She laughed softly. So what if she felt timid joy when her husband said he loved her, so what if she felt bashful, it was all perfectly normal, and lonely folks could go sulk in the corner.
Thus, the single Xia Shi quietly turned around.
Looking at Xia Weibao’s expression, she knew it was spring fever—better out of sight, out of mind, than to be force-fed dog food.
Her Majesty the Empress was all smiles, looking ... ah no, full of charm ... ahem! Brimming with sweetness.
Her voice even more coquettish, "Why say it so suddenly?"
"It isn’t sudden, I want to tell you every day, I love you, so very much."
Her Majesty’s heart seemed to have flown up to the heavens.
How irritating, making her feel like her heart was coated with honey.
Even just over the phone, the doting look in Lu Hualiang’s eyes seemed thick like the melting of spring ice.
"Then what about you, do you love me?"
"Mhm, I love you too."
That was more than enough. I’ve gouged my eyes out already, why can’t you spare my ears!
This blasted dog food!
Both of them usually acted with decisive and ruthless elegance, especially Lu Hualiang, whose iron-fisted tactics were terrifying to behold.
Yet who would’ve thought they’d be so nauseatingly sweet when it came to love.
So sweet she wanted to quit her job.
The door to the makeup room opened, and Xia Shi gave Xia Weibao a look.
Xia Weibao immediately reverted to her normal self, hanging up the phone with a business-like tone.
As if the affectionate exchange they just had was nothing but an illusion.
In Lu Garden, Housekeeper Fu tearfully welcomed Zhong Wanshu and Lu Huashan inside.
"Madam, you’re finally cured of your illness."
He was an old timer in the Lu family, clear on the affairs of past years, and he had watched Lu Hualiang exhaust himself trying to cure Zhong Wanshu and Lu Huashan’s illnesses to no avail.
He thought it would never get better in this lifetime.
But now, they were all cured.
Lu Huashan had completely recovered her health, and Zhong Wanshu could walk out of bed—that was truly wonderful.
Housekeeper Fu turned aside, wiping away old tears, the young madam really was the Lu family’s Lucky Star.
He resolved to take good care of Lu Garden in the future so that everyone would cherish the young madam.
If it weren’t for her, Zhong Wanshu might have already died, and Lu Garden today would have been filled with gloom and sorrow rather than the joy and laughter it knew now.
Zhong Wanshu smiled warmly, though she was still quite plump and her facial features were not distinct, it was clear she was a woman of excellent upbringing.
"It’s all thanks to Baby that I have today."
