Chapter 526: Sweet, Sweet, Sweet, Director Lu Loves His Wife Dearly
He lifted his hand, gently wiping her tears away.
"Don’t cry, I’ll buy it for you, I’ll buy it for you, okay?"
The first time his wife wanted something, let alone just an ancient tomb—he would buy it for her even if she wanted the whole Huaxia Country!
Xia Weibao sniffed, "Didn’t you say that national relics couldn’t be bought?"
"As long as you have enough money, there’s nothing you can’t buy."
Everything has a price, as long as he offered a value that exceeded the value of the relic, it could be bought.
Xia Weibao felt somewhat guilty, "I will earn money and pay you back in the future..."
Lu Hualiang really wanted to say, actually, there’s no need to pay money—payment in kind would be fine.
But seeing her so heartbroken, it seemed inappropriate to say such things.
So he kissed her face, "You are my wife, what’s mine is yours."
Xia Weibao felt moved, her heart tearing apart once again.
Why did it have to be like this.
After she realized her feelings for Emperor Xia Liang, here she was, moved by the kindness of another man.
"I agreed to buy it for you, didn’t I? Why are you crying even more now?"
"Don’t be so good to me."
Xia Weibao closed her eyes, struggling to speak through her sobs.
Really, don’t be so good to her—it only made her feel guiltier.
"You are my wife, if I’m not good to you, to whom should I be?"
Xia Weibao felt a pang in her heart.
What should she do...
"Stop crying, I’ll make the call right now to start the process, but if you keep crying, I won’t buy it."
"Wuwu..."
Lu Hualiang, "..."
Alright then, as if he never said that.
He walked to the balcony and made a phone call to Yan Fei.
Probably only the President would be capable of making a decision about buying a national first-class relic.
Yan Fei, having just finished a meeting, raised an eyebrow upon seeing Lu Hualiang actually calling him.
The sun rises in the west?
This man has always been at odds with him.
"Hello, Director Lu, a rare visitor indeed."
Lu Hualiang, gazing through the floor-to-ceiling window, watched Xia Weibao lost in thought inside the hospital room.
He had no time for idle chat and got straight to the point.
"You mentioned last time that you wanted to build a military base. I have one in the southern part of R country; do you want it?"
Yan Fei’s expression became grave.
He was aware of a massive, modernized military base in the south of R country.
He just didn’t know to whom it belonged.
R country, a neighbor to Huaxia, was a very backward nation, yet it housed an advanced military base—a massive threat.
Given R country’s finances, they certainly couldn’t afford it.
That is to say, someone built a massive military base next to Huaxia, and it was a matter of great consequence.
But no one could trace its origins.
The monarch of R country shielded the base, insisting it belonged to their nation.
There was no way to find any clue.
Who would have thought, it was actually Lu Hualiang’s!
Yan Fei was trembling with fear—the Lu Family was a commercial dynasty; being wealthy was understandable, but why would they have a military base!
And seeing how generously Lu Hualiang was offering it, it seemed he had more than one such military base.
Heavens!
What kind of person was hidden within Hua Country!
"Director Lu, are you saying that the military base in the south of R country is yours?"
"As long as you agree, it’s yours."
Lu Hualiang spoke, adding a line, "Your personal one.
Mr. President, you understand better than I do what it means to have your own personal military base."
Yan Fei’s lips were tightly closed, his facial lines taut.
Indeed, he understood all too well.
Though he currently sat securely at the top of the political hierarchy, there were many who wanted to pull him down from his position.
Having a military base meant having his own army, and with that, who else could contend with him!
