Chapter 24 - Gas Explosion
Chapter 24: Chapter 24 Gas Explosion
After a wave of frustration, Her Majesty the Empress disdainfully flipped her hair.
Objects are inanimate, people are living, she couldn’t possibly starve to death!
It didn’t matter if she didn’t know how to use them, she would cook using the most primitive method!
Lu Hualiang had just finished a video conference and glanced at the time—it was after ten, and Xia Weibao still hadn’t returned.
He didn’t think too much about it; such a grown person couldn’t get lost.
So he took some clothes and went to take a shower.
While showering, there was a click, and everything went dark.
Lu Hualiang, “…”
Who turned off the circuit breaker!
For some reason, Xia Weibao was the first to come to mind…
This woman, she was never normal, always so flighty.
He wrapped himself in his bathrobe and went downstairs, only to see a glow of fire coming from the kitchen.
He walked in, and the smoke was billowing.
He was choking so badly that he could hardly breathe.
He took out his phone and turned on the flashlight.
When he saw clearly what was happening inside, Lu Hualiang almost couldn’t help but strangle the initiator!
“Xia Weibao, what are you doing!”
“Cough cough cough…”
Xia Weibao was fanning the flames with a few sheets of paper in one hand while coughing.
“I’m… cooking noodles.”
Lu Hualiang’s eye twitched fiercely—cooking noodles?
He had never seen anyone use a rice cooker on a gas stove before!
Burning wood…
She even burned through the electrical wires, how could the power not go out?
Lu Hualiang clenched his teeth, “Why didn’t you get electrocuted!”
Burning the rice cooker was one thing, but why hadn’t she unplugged the wires first!
Xia Weibao wiped her face and managed to leave a black streak across it.
She had only been in this strange world for two days, still unfamiliar with how to use electricity, how would she know to unplug it?
Lu Hualiang felt like he was about to have a heart attack from anger.
Suddenly, he sensed something was off.
“Where did you get that paper to light the fire?”
His gaze darkened, and he snatched the few sheets of paper from Xia Weibao’s hand. Illuminated by the phone’s light, Lu Hualiang almost coughed up blood!
These were the contracts he had brought back from his business trip, contracts worth over a billion!
“Xia Weibao! Who gave you the audacity to burn contracts!”
Xia Weibao was startled and shrank back, “I found them in the living room…”
She mumbled to herself, if it was something so important, then it should have been put away properly. Why leave it out in such an obvious place?
And besides, they were just a few contracts. In the past, she had even burned documents in His Majesty’s Imperial Study Room.
Burning Memorials to the Throne was common practice for her, and she had never been scolded for it.
Lu Hualiang desperately tried to suppress the urge to strangle her—marrying her was a mistake!
Just as he was about to explode, he caught a whiff of a refreshing fragrance.
What’s that smell?
His gaze leisurely shifted towards the burning sticks, and weren’t they the high-quality agarwood that had just been airfreighted today?
“Xia, Weibao!”
He articulated each syllable with grinding teeth.
All of Director Lu’s patience had been exhausted in this moment!
Xia Weibao felt a little uneasy, “In the winters before, you used to bestow agarwood on me for warmth.”
It was just burning a few pieces of agarwood, she didn’t see anything wrong with it.
In the Imperial Harem, she was pampered by His Majesty; she had even used millennia-old ganoderma for warmth.
“Sir, what has happened?”
At that moment, Housekeeper Fu rushed over with the security guards.
A flashlight shone inside, and they were instantly shocked by the sight of the battlefield.
A fire?
Lu Hualiang was about to order Xia Weibao to be locked up. This woman was a psycho, both in her actions and her words—she had to be confined!
However, before he could say anything, a pungent smell reached his nose.
Lu Hualiang’s expression changed, and he turned around swiftly, only to see a gas leak!
The scent of the agarwood was so strong that it had masked the smell of gas.
A gas leak with an open flame nearby…
“Everybody out, now!”
Everyone turned and headed outside. Lu Hualiang took a couple of steps then noticed Xia Weibao had twisted her ankle at the critical moment.
Grinding his teeth in irritation, he quickly approached her and grabbed her hand.
“Are you not leaving, are you waiting to die…”

Boom——
Before he could finish, there was a loud explosion from the gas.
“Your Majesty!”
Xia Weibao exclaimed in shock, instinctively hugging Lu Hualiang, flipping her body to use her back to shield against the towering flames…
