Chapter 700: Pleasing the Wife
After bringing her back to the room, Lu Hualiang fetched her medicine chest, found the ointment she usually used, and began to apply it to her wounds.
Just now he had lost all reason in his stimulation, and his grip had been uncontrollable, leaving several injuries on her body.
Especially her back, which was rubbed red by the desk, a large area even skinning a bit.
The back was in such a state, not to mention that particular place...
When he reached out to take off her pants, Xia Weibao shrank back defensively, her eyes filled with wariness, not looking at her husband, but rather at a bad man who could violate her at any moment.
This stabbed Lu Hualiang’s heart once again.
"I will apply the medicine for you."
"No need!"
Xia Weibao snatched the ointment bottle, "You go out."
Lu Hualiang sighed, "I will go and bring in dinner for you."
Looking at his wounded eyes as he turned around, Xia Weibao’s heart was pricked, feeling a dull pain.
Then shaking her head, why should she feel hurt, she was the victim!
In a little while, Lu Hualiang brought in dinner.
He wanted to feed her, but Xia Weibao coldly refused.
Clearly, she did not want to deal with him at the moment.
Lu Hualiang sat at the edge of the bed, watching her eat alone, somewhat absent-minded.
He was really... becoming greedier.
In the past, when she didn’t have him in her heart, he thought it was enough as long as she was willing to stay by his side.
Even being a stand-in did not matter.
But after getting her, he realized, that was a load of nonsense!
All the pretense of being generous and without regrets, its ultimate purpose was just one, to have her!
Both her body and her heart must be his!
And because of that, after he got her body, realizing that her heart was not with him, caused him to lose control like that.
Lu Hualiang lowered his gaze; he had underestimated his own possessiveness.
After all, with his temperament, how could he possibly be that magnanimous.
And in the end, he had done something that hurt her.
"What’s wrong with you."
Noticing his emotional state, Xia Weibao asked coldly.
Lu Hualiang looked at her with some remorse, "Sorry."
"Why are you angry."
This person really doesn’t change, not even after ten reincarnations would his personality alter a bit.
It was the same with the Dog Emperor before, he would treat her like this when he was angry.
She knew that Emperor Xia Liang was not a pushover, with a dark and brutal temperament, but he would restrain himself in front of her, afraid of frightening her.
They had been together for decades, and he only lost his temper a couple of times.
Once was when she argued with him, saying she was sick of life within the palace and wanted to leave.
He exploded in fury, forcefully teaching her a lesson all night, causing her to lay in bed for several days and even catch a high fever.
Another time was when she first impersonated the emperor to tease the Imperial Harem’s concubines, his jealousy flared, and then he vented it harshly on her.
The consequence of that was also quite severe, a cold war for several days until he no longer dared to interfere with her teasing the Imperial Harem’s concubines.
Although he would get angry each time and scold her verbally, he did not dare to lose his temper again.
In comparison, Lu Hualiang’s action this time was mild, having her forcefully just once.
"It’s nothing, just some frustrating matters."
Lu Hualiang looked at her with a complex expression in his eyes.
Extending his hand, he wrapped his arms around her waist.
Xia Weibao tensed up, still apprehensive about the recent incident.
The man’s cool scent only added to her alarm.
But she did not move away; the recent incident had not been his intention, he had not been able to control himself.
Lu Hualiang gently embraced her into his arms, tilting his head to kiss her hair.
"I’m sorry, it won’t happen again, I promise."
A wife is to be cherished, not to vent anger on.
