And now he’s actually sharing a pair of chopsticks with the young mistress?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And why is he biting on the chopsticks while chewing the chicken?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Housekeeper Fu felt that perhaps the world had turned into a fantasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then he thought about it; they were husband and wife, kissing should be commonplace, and they probably fulfilled marital duties every night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They might have even shared things more intimate than that, not to mention saliva.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normal, normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having finished a mouthful, Lu Hualiang picked up a piece of green vegetable to feed Xia Weibao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One bite for her, one for him; sharing a meal this way wasn’t bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Xia Weibao, being able to eat while playing her game was naturally the best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only, if she knew Lu Hualiang was feeding her with the very same pair of chopsticks, she’d probably be turned off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was engrossed in her game, her chin was suddenly pinched, and she was forced to turn towards Lu Hualiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You have oil on the corner of your mouth; how careless,” he said softly, then took a napkin and gently wiped her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression was focused, his gaze tender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao’s heart was suddenly pierced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Majesty…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, Dog Emperor had done the same. Every time they ate together, he would pinch her chin, telling her there was oil on her mouth, and then he would kiss her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same expression, throwing her thoughts into disarray, unexpectedly made her nose tingle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, she stood up violently, “I’m full.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she fled in a panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her room, Xia Weibao hid under the covers, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling a bit cold, she snuggled to the side, but couldn’t find the familiar warmth of an embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, the room felt especially empty tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt like a lone spirit that had come to this strange Another World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no Imperial Harem, and no… Dog Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it was summer, why did it feel so cold?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao turned her head, looked at the air conditioner spitting out cold air, and blamed the wretched machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She picked up a table lamp and threw it viciously at the air conditioner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud bang, the air conditioner sparked and the entire villa plunged into darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang, who was pondering how to move back into the master bedroom, paused at the sudden power outage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly called Housekeeper Fu, “Check the lines to ensure safety, but don’t fix anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Housekeeper Fu was about to ask why not to fix it when he was promptly hung up on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang packed all his luggage in a jiffy and stood at the doorway of the master bedroom with two suitcases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d heard that girls tend to be more fearful, afraid of the dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao must be very frightened by now. Upon seeing him, she would likely ask him to stay and keep her company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, he could naturally return to the master bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Director Lu was a man of pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To ensure Xia Weibao did not notice that he wanted to move back in, he placed the suitcases discreetly to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he knocked on the door with an aloof expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the door opened, a small head peeked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you want?” Xia Weibao’s eyes were wary; knocking on the door in the dead of night couldn’t be good!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Director Lu was so reserved, he naturally wouldn’t say he was there to accompany her. Instead, he took out two candles from behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The power’s out. I brought you two candles,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he stood with an air of untouchable sanctity, waiting for Xia Weibao to say she was scared and to ask him to stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, Xia Weibao reached out, snatched the candles, and said, “Thanks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then with a bang, she slammed the door shut.\u003C\u002Fp>",726,"2026-06-06T16:21:59.440Z",1,"novelbin.me","ceecb80f7859eeab8654ae5e06b9442a676d4b0e9f4d750c8443a7b026a8d287","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-103","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-101",1766,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fplagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-cover.jpg"]
