Chapter 455: Director Lu Finally Loses Control
After drinking, she smacked her lips.
"Director Lu, are these spicy strips expired? They taste off."
Watching her greedy little expression, Lu Hualiang almost wanted to laugh. These were not spicy strips at all, so of course, they would taste wrong.
"Do they taste good?"
"They’re okay, just not very spicy and lacking in chewiness."
Lu Hualiang reached out and tenderly touched her little head.
Without her usual arrogance when drunk, she was entirely guileless and really quite adorable.
Xia Weibao, too, seemed to thoroughly enjoy this intimacy, squinting her eyes and tilting her head back, as lazy and leisurely as a little kitten.
Seeing her so utterly defenseless, Lu Hualiang felt a twinge in his heart.
There it was again, that stirring of the heart.
Only she could give him this feeling.
He had been wavering, thinking of letting her go, but at that moment his resolve solidified!
This woman, even if she asked for his life, he could not let go!
"Housekeeper Fu said you were looking for me?"
These last few days, she had called him many times, sent numerous messages; he had read them all, over and over.
But he had always held back from going to find her.
He wanted to wean himself off this intoxication.
Yet in the end, he still failed.
Hearing that she was drunk, his heart was a mess, fearing she might come to harm.
"Mhm," Xia Weibao nodded with a blissful expression.
"Why were you looking for me?"
When he asked that question, Lu Hualiang held his breath for a moment.
He was hoping for a particular answer.
"I wanted to say thank you."
"That’s it?"
The light in his eyes dimmed a bit.
Yes, of course. He should have known without thinking; it must have been Yang Li who told her.
So, she sought him out just to express her thanks, not because she missed him.
Concealing the disappointment in his heart, Lu Hualiang picked up a set of pajamas, "Change your clothes."
She reeked of alcohol.
Change clothes?
Her Majesty the Empress was momentarily stunned, then she spread her arms wide.
Did this mean she wanted him to help her change?
Lu Hualiang’s eyes slowly narrowed, "Are you sure?"
Helping his wife change clothes...
The very thought was enough to make his nose bleed, slightly thrilling.
Seeing him not moving, Xia Weibao frowned.
"Wang Cai, aren’t you going to help me change?"
Wang... Wang Cai?!
This address successfully chased away the thrill in Lu Hualiang’s heart.
"Xia Weibao, who are you calling Wang Cai!"
His voice was so grinding that nearly the whole room could hear it.
"Wang Cai, why are you being so disobedient today? I’m exhausted, change my clothes quickly," she said.
This palace maid was usually quite clever, so why did she seem like she was made of wood now?
Lu Hualiang, infuriated, flung the clothes into her face.
"Change them yourself!"
To forsake the privilege of helping his wife change was an indication of just how angry he was.
Xia Weibao looked left and right.
Then she stared at Lu Hualiang for a few seconds.
Only then did she remember that she was in the twenty-first century, not the Great Xia Kingdom.
The man standing before her was her current husband, Lu Hualiang, not her Chief Palace Maid, Wang Cai.
Her head hurt, felt like it was about to split open.
All she wanted was to sleep, to have a good sleep right then.
Overwhelmed by the alcohol, her brain was out of control and no longer capable of thought.
She also forgot to go to the bathroom or changing room to change clothes.
There she sat on the bed, clumsily fumbling with the buttons on her clothes.
One, two, three.
With her movements, her snow-white skin began to be revealed.
Under the crystal chandelier, it shone with the luster of jade, as beautiful as Tianshan Snow Lotus atop snow-capped peaks.
Dazzling to the eyes.
Her burgeoning outline suggested a deep cleavage, leading down to her slender waist.
