Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Director Lu, Just a Gesture Will Do
“Madam, where is she?”
“She’s in her room,” the housekeeper said.
It’s already the early hours of the morning. Where could she be if not in her room?
“Sir, you should really do something about Madam. She’s not come down at all today, and even for meals, she has them sent up to her room.”
He had never seen a woman so immersed in gaming that she wouldn’t come down for meals and would only nibble when food was brought to her.
Sigh, she’s completely like a gaming addict.
...
Lu Hualiang furrowed his brow. Grieved enough to shut herself away?
That damn woman, is it that hard for her to lower her head?
If she would only speak up, he would definitely help her; it’s not like he would make things difficult for her.
Why must she be so proud?
“Has she eaten then?”
Lu Hualiang asked with a cold, distant expression on his face.
Yet his glance couldn’t help but drift towards the direction of the upstairs master bedroom.
He didn’t know how she was doing right now—whether she was still crying or not.
Could it be that she was too sad to have an appetite?
“She only had a few bites.”
The housekeeper felt somewhat embarrassed. When the servants brought her meal, she had just started a game. By the time she finished the round, the food had gone cold.
Then she didn’t eat and continued on to the next game.
It has to be said that their Madam Weibao really doesn’t sweat the small stuff. With such a scandal, if it were any other celebrity, they’d probably have fainted from crying in the bathroom by now.
But not her; she locked herself in her room to play games!
Such a gaming addict!
Lu Hualiang felt a flutter of excitement inside. See, without him, she’s helpless, heartbroken to the point where she can’t eat.
Yet, at the same time, he felt a tinge of pity. If he had been by her side all along, perhaps she wouldn’t be so upset.
She’s already thin, and now she’s not even eating.
“Sir, you really need to take good care of Madam. Without you here, she’s…” about to tear the house down.
“Alright, go have someone prepare a late-night snack, something light,” Lu Hualiang interrupted before the housekeeper could finish.
Thinking it over, “And boil a couple of hot eggs.”
She’s been crying all day; her eyes must be swollen. They could help soothe them.
Speaking of which, he really hadn’t paid much attention to her. He always left her alone at home.
If she would just give in, he would truly cherish her from here on out.
Obviously, Director Lu’s thoughts and the housekeeper’s were not on the same wavelength.
The housekeeper meant for him to properly discipline Xia Weibao.
While Director Lu understood it as not to neglect Xia Weibao anymore.
The housekeeper thought Lu Hualiang hadn’t eaten yet, so he hurried off to have food prepared.
He thought that after Lu Hualiang had finished eating, he would proceed to inform on Xia Weibao’s misdeeds in detail!
But Lu Hualiang, on the other hand, turned and went upstairs.
His stride was steady and strong, betraying no sign of abnormality, though his pace was much quicker than usual.
Standing at the door to the master bedroom, he hesitated before opening it.
He remembered Yang Li’s words—Xia Weibao was at her most vulnerable right now. If he went to comfort her, to protect her against the storm, she would undoubtedly be moved.
Perhaps she might even throw herself into his arms.
But after sitting on a plane for more than a dozen hours without a shower…
So Director Lu changed direction, going to the guest room for a bath.
The first time embracing a woman, naturally, he wanted to leave a good impression.
After the shower, the late-night snack was ready.
Seeing him carry the snack upstairs, Housekeeper Fu grew anxious. He hadn’t yet reported on Xia Weibao’s scandalous behavior—her misdemeanors were too numerous to record!
Lu Hualiang’s steps quickened as he ascended the stairs, and before opening the door, his long fingers casually pulled down his bathrobe, exposing his well-built chest.
He also readjusted his hair before pushing the door open.
Fearing that Xia Weibao might be too excited and rush at him, he even took care to place the tray of food to the side to avoid knocking it over.
However…
