Chapter 616: I Will Always Be My Only Wife
Xia Weibao, "..."
My president has a cat’s disease and doesn’t want to talk anymore.
She looked indifferent, "Oh, so being Director Lu’s fiancée is a mistake, can I apply to not be one?"
What’s the misunderstanding!
It’s not like she clung to him and wouldn’t let go, she didn’t even know she had a fiancé before the wedding!
Why is it her fault?
Lu Hualiang’s expression changed slightly, shoot!
He said the wrong thing!
So he smiled at her with a playful grin, "You can, you’re indeed not my fiancée at the moment, you are my wife."
He paused, then added, "In this lifetime, the next, and the one after that, you will forever be my only wife."
Xia Weibao’s smile stiffened on her face.
In her mind, she recalled the words Emperor Xia Liang once said, asserting they’d be together forever, promising to never leave her alone no matter where they went...
Those promises she once thought were jokes now echoed back, piercing her heart with every word.
She got up somewhat frantically, "I have something to do, I have to go."
Already having made a promise of eternity with another man, how could she entangle with someone else.
"Where are you going!"
Lu Hualiang’s face changed again; was she trying to avoid him again?
"Back to the company, I need to resolve the video issue with Leng Yan and Xu Jiayang."
"Today is the weekend!" Lu Hualiang gritted his teeth.
"Stars don’t have days off."
Xia Weibao left those words behind and rushed out the door.
Lu Hualiang sat on the sofa, his back as straight as an indomitable pine tree, with his fringe dangling before his forehead, scattering the light in his eyes, making them alternately bright and obscure, difficult to ascertain his emotions.
Only from his creaking, clenched fist could one glimpse the roaring waves beneath his calm surface!
He had to use all his strength to restrain the impulse to chase after her and lock her away!
He closed his eyes, slowly burying the surging emotions within him.
He couldn’t press her too hard.
She had said that he was too domineering, it made her feel like she was suffocating.
Anything she disliked, he was willing to change for her.
Xia Weibao drove away, wandering around aimlessly.
It was Sunday, and Leng Yan and Xu Jiayang indeed weren’t at work.
She was just looking for an excuse to escape the house that made her heart flutter and disquieted.
Her mind was in turmoil, and she wanted to do nothing.
So, she went back to the company and slept for a while.
Indeed, stars have no days off, hence even if Leng Yan and Xu Jiayang were not working, Hongtu was still open.
When she woke up, it was already dark. She had dinner and then drove around the imperial city, loop by loop.
She had meant to just take a drive to clear her mind, but the more she tried to relax, the more troubled she became.
Eventually, she parked by the river and fell asleep with her head on the steering wheel.
She didn’t want to go back, thinking of the Dog Emperor on one side and being ambiguously involved with Lu Hualiang on the other; it made her feel guilty.
She couldn’t go to the company, nor to a hotel.
Lu Hualiang was too capable; it wouldn’t be exaggerating to say that he could do anything he wanted in the imperial city!
Going to a hotel would definitely mean being found.
As expected, at eight o’clock, her phone rang: it was a call from Lu Hualiang.
Xia Weibao felt a bit bitter, as if she were homeless.
The phone had barely connected when a man’s cold voice came through.
"Why haven’t you come home."
The words "come home" were like a thorn, piercing the softest corner of her heart.
Home?
She too wanted to go home.
But how could she return to her home in the imperial palace a thousand years ago?
Lu Garden was nice, but unfortunately, she didn’t belong there.
She opened her mouth but realized her throat was too bitter to make a sound.
