Chapter 850: I Accept No Bribes Except for Beauty
Lu Hualiang smiled faintly, "You bribe me, and I’ll sort this out for you."
"Tell me, how much do you want?"
Her Majesty the Empress waved her hand grandly.
The gesture was like she was keeping a pretty boy and could name any price she wished.
Lu Hualiang chuckled, "Do you think I lack money?"
Xia Weibao, "..."
Her face slightly reddened; her little bit of money was probably not even equal to one of Lu Hualiang’s leg hairs.
She glared, "Then why do you want me to bribe you?"
Lu Hualiang smiled ambiguously, leaned close to her ear and breathed out, "Other than Madame’s beauty, I won’t accept any other bribe."
Xia Weibao’s face blushed again, and then she leaned in to give him a quick kiss on the cheek.
Afterwards, she sat up straight, with a look that said, ’I’ve already bribed you.’
Lu Hualiang, "..."
"Wife, am I that cheap?"
A kiss on the face counted as a bribe; could there be any labor more cheap than him?
Yet, facing Xia Weibao’s bright eyes, what else could he say?
He tapped a few keys on the keyboard, searched for pictures of Xia Weibao in casual clothes today, and deleted them all.
There weren’t many photos; she changed into a dress for the event, so there were only a few shots taken secretly when she got off the nanny car and went to the backstage.
The photos were taken from a distance, not clear, and you could only vaguely see a cream-colored casual outfit.
It shouldn’t be dug up as a couple’s outfit.
To be safe, Lu Hualiang set permissions to prevent today’s photos and the few of Xia Weibao’s from being uploaded online.
Xia Weibao looked on in amazement; is this modern hacker technology? Very impressive-looking.
"Hubby, I want to learn hacker technology too, could you teach me?"
Lu Hualiang’s temple twitched, thinking of her increasingly poor gaming skills and her capabilities limited to using a phone for browsing, selfies, listening to music, texting, and calling — even basic computer skills were awkward.
This level of intellect trying to learn hacker technology was truly challenging.
"Wife, I think you’d be better off learning dancing and medicine."
This quirky wife of his could master ancient things without learning, but when it came to modern stuff...
Intuition, let’s all rely on intuition.
Saying it out loud would get him beaten.
Xia Weibao pulled a face; she just wanted to learn.
Once she mastered hacker technology, she could play her way to the top in games.
Lu Hualiang thought for a moment, then handed her a book on hacking techniques, "This is a basic entry, once you’ve got this down, I’ll teach you more."
Xia Weibao glanced through it; it was excellently written but read like a heavenly book — she could understand each word individually, but together, not a bit of it made sense hahaha.
She laughed dryly, "I think I’ll go learn dancing."
Lu Hualiang pinched her cheek lovingly, not too hard, with affection.
The couple’s outfit issue was resolved, Xia Weibao breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, why did you suddenly open a Weibo account?"
"Just felt like it," Lu Hualiang said lightly, showing no sign it was opened for her.
Xia Weibao pursed her lips, suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck, and pressed her soft lips against his cool ones.
Lu Hualiang was startled, but then his hand tightened around her waist, pulling her into his embrace, deepening the kiss.
Rarely did Xia Weibao respond so cooperatively, which made him quite excited.
After the kiss, Xia Weibao snuggled softly in his arms.
She didn’t speak, but her mouth curled up involuntarily.
She knew, he did it for her.
Lu Hualiang suddenly thought, Yang Li’s presence might not be entirely useless.
