Chapter 810: Director Lu Enters the Cold Palace
When Lu Hualiang got off work and came back, he saw Xiang Chu and Hepburn each holding a bucket of artificial fertilizer, standing in the center of the Medicine Garden, drooling over Xia Weibao’s medicinal herbs.
Even Director Lu, cold and stoic as he was, couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his eye.
Holding artificial fertilizer, with such a strong smell, and actually drooling...
Just how heavy could their tastes be?
That drooling expression, they wouldn’t be thinking of having a taste, would they?
Director Lu felt that he needed to keep his wife and these two with unconventional tastes apart, lest she get influenced into becoming a lunatic.
When he got home, he saw Xia Weibao, Zhong Wanshu, and Lu Huashan sitting side by side on the sofa, watching TV and chatting, all harmonious and happy.
Seeing this scene warmed Hualiang’s heart a bit.
Who wouldn’t want his wife to get along well with his mother and sister?
However, he soon found it hard to feel warmhearted anymore.
Why? Because at dinner, Xia Weibao was pulled together by Zhong Wanshu and Lu Huashan, laughing and chatting in a group.
While he sat all alone opposite them, eating by himself.
Lu Hualiang was full of grievances. Before, his wife always sat next to him during meals and he even helped her dish out the food!
Now that privilege had been snatched away.
After dinner, Lu Huashan pulled Xia Weibao and Zhong Wanshu back to the sofa in the living room to watch TV and chat about everything under the sun.
What they were watching was a melodramatic soap opera from the golden 8 o’clock time slot. After the soap opera, Lu Huashan brought out a BL drama to watch, and they huddled together discussing the tops and bottoms of two male characters.
The entirely neglected Lu Hualiang, "..."
What has the world come to?
Has it been taken over by fujoshi? They actually make such TV shows!
Not only are they made, but they’re being watched as well!
He glanced silently at the snack bags strewn on the coffee table, then at the three women engrossed in the TV show.
Lu Hualiang deeply felt that he was housing three unemployed bums—life couldn’t go on like this!
"Bro, you must be feeling bored, right? If you’re bored, go to sleep. Don’t mind us," Lu Huashan said, waving her hand as if shooing a fly, looking somewhat disgusted that her brother was in the way.
Hmph!
After being bullied for so long, it was finally mom’s turn to gloat!
Lu Hualiang’s face turned cold. He, too, wanted to go back to his room to sleep, but how could he when his wife was taken? Sleeping alone?
He wasn’t a bachelor, so why should he suffer through a lonely night!
Unable to bear those soap operas anymore, Director Lu still went upstairs in silence to deal with some paperwork in his study.
Lu Huashan once again raised her middle finger at the retreating figure of her brother.
Then she felt something was off and turned her head to find Xia Weibao looking at her with a bewildered expression.
Lu Huashan, "..."
"Well, Baby, you didn’t see anything just now."
"Oh, I didn’t see anything. Watching TV," Xia Weibao complied amiably.
After looking through the files for an hour, Lu Hualiang came out of the study to find Xia Weibao still downstairs.
And every so often, bursts of laughter could be heard from below.
Director Lu was speechless instantly—they say three women make a crowd, and it seems there’s truth to that saying!
He couldn’t understand how they could have chatted all evening and still have endless topics to discuss.
Not long after he went back to his room, Xia Weibao finally came back.
Director Lu felt relieved. Wife, you finally remembered you have a husband.
Xia Weibao flashed him a grin and then took some clothes to go take a shower.
The neglected Director Lu, who was just about to reach out and embrace his fragrant soft wife, was pushed away by Xia Weibao.
"Husband, I’m going to sleep with mom and Shanshan tonight. You sleep by yourself, bye."
