Chapter 603: Turn off the lights and go to sleep, Director Lu, don’t be a beast
"Fearing she couldn’t control her emotions, she quickly grabbed a set of pajamas and rushed into the bathroom.
She turned on the shower and let the water splash onto her face.
The cold water rained down on her face, trickling over her slender neck and seeping into her clothes.
Gently caressing her skin.
The icy touch slowly calmed her recently tumultuous emotions.
After soaking in the bath, she washed away her fatigue.
But she couldn’t wash away the chaotic thoughts in her mind.
When she came out, the room was empty and Xia Weibao breathed a sigh of relief.
She walked to the vanity, where all her usual skincare products were laid out.
The brand was specially customized by Lu Hualiang for her.
He said her skin was delicate and unsuitable for commercial skincare products, so he took her to get a skin test and then set up a production line exclusively for her skincare needs.
Although she rarely used them, preferring her herbal medicines, he still prepared them for her.
When Lu Hualiang truly cared for someone, he really knew how to spoil you like a princess.
Xia Weibao stood for a while, then Lu Hualiang entered the room.
He glanced at her, ’I’ve arranged for someone to investigate Huang Wenan, Wan Ke, and Chu Ying, and we should have results by tomorrow morning.’"
’Oh, got it.’
Xia Weibao scratched the back of her head, ’Then I... I’m going to sleep first.’
She hurriedly climbed into bed and covered herself with the duvet after speaking.
Lu Hualiang watched her with a heavy gaze before going to take a shower with his clothes.
Taking advantage of Lu Hualiang’s absence, Xia Weibao quickly called Zhuang Xuejun.
Only after she was sure that Zhuang Xuejun was doing well at Han Luoqi’s did she relax.
They made plans to meet tomorrow and then she hung up the phone.
She also called Xia Shi, reminding her to remember to apply ointment.
Worried about being caught by Lu Hualiang, she hurriedly ended the call and lay back on the bed.
When the man came out, he saw her lying in bed, but he didn’t know whether she was asleep or not.
Xia Weibao lay there nervously.
She was tired and sleepy, but her mind was too cluttered and her heart too heavy, filled with a sour feeling that prevented her from falling asleep.
Her headache was splitting and, without release, she felt like she would go mad!
Hearing Lu Hualiang’s footsteps, her palms sweated with tension.
The rustling sound of him possibly picking something up was followed shortly by the sound of a hairdryer.
He was drying his hair.
The thought of him coming to bed after drying his hair made her even more anxious about where to place her hands and feet.
It wasn’t long before the hairdryer stopped, then more footsteps followed.
Suddenly, the duvet was lifted, and the other side of the bed dipped.
The bedside lamp was turned off.
In the darkness, every sense was magnified.
Xia Weibao felt even her breathing was tense.
Especially when a hot hand touched her waist, she stiffened all over.
Feeling her stiffness, Lu Hualiang pressed his warm body against hers.
His chest tightly against her back, ’What’s wrong?’
His warm breath on the nape of her neck intensified the sensation, as if scalding her, numb and tingling.
Her heartbeat went wild.
’Nothing... I’m going to sleep.’
She shifted her body outwards, trying to break free from his embrace.
This really couldn’t go on...
Lu Hualiang’s eyes turned fierce as he sensed her wish to escape.
He tightened his grip, pulling her back forcefully.
The intensity left no room for argument.
She wouldn’t give in to him, and he had endured it.
But he would not yield on the matter of sleeping separately!
Suddenly, Lu Hualiang lowered his head and placed a rather cold kiss between her shoulder and neck."
