It’s Not Like I Can Eat You Up\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huashan was on the verge of speaking, then hesitated. She only wanted to climb up by her efforts, not by relying on her brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she didn’t want to disclose her identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Yi, can we not talk about it, I…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi put a finger to her lips, “If you don’t want to talk, then don’t. I love you, and that’s all that matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as I can be with you, I’m willing to do anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huashan’s eyes brimmed with tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew Brother Yi truly cared for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi held her, his face a picture of devotion, but deep down he felt endless contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Women like her, fat and ugly, unable to find a husband, were the easiest to deceive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they were married and he became a live-in son-in-law, he could roam freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he would find a bunch of beauties to heal his wounded heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Li did not immediately go back to report to Lu Hualiang but wandered around the set instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found some shade, sat down, and pulled out his phone, scrolling to a photo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at it quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you looking at?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a tap on the shoulder startled Yang Li so much that he dropped his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao picked up his phone and glanced at the photo inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow, such a cute little girl, who is she?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kid was too adorable, with her chubby little cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Li felt awkward, hastily took back his phone, and closed the gallery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s a childhood friend. Madam, what brings you here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shouldn’t I be asking you that?” Xia Weibao sat down beside him. “I’m here filming.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gestured to her costume and didn’t bother changing out of it since filming would resume shortly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Madam, you practice medicine, don’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Li looked at her, his eyes reflecting an indecipherable light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, what’s up, are you sick?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I’m very healthy, but it’s a friend of mine who has obesity due to hormonal issues. Can it be treated?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hormones?” Xia Weibao frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know much about that; in her time, there was no concept of hormones, she didn’t even know what they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bring her over for me to see.” Whether treatment was possible would only be determined after a diagnosis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Li gave a rueful smile, “Never mind, then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why, can’t she be seen?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not that, she refuses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why would someone refuse to see a doctor if they’re ill?” Xia Weibao spread her hands, unable to comprehend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Li’s gaze turned distant, his tone ethereal, “Perhaps… she can’t bear the disappointment anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When a person is disappointed too many times, they eventually descend into despair, no longer daring to hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For without hope, there’s no more disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao shrugged; there was nothing she could do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if she were a divine healer, without a patient, she couldn’t treat diseases out of thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang was furious when he found out what Yang Li had done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A minor task, yet so poorly handled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Directly bringing people to the film set—what kind of brainless tactic was that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And to top it off, he was caught red-handed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Li was always reliable; how could he make such a basic mistake this time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning home in the evening, Xia Weibao immediately sensed that Lu Hualiang was in a bad mood, as if he were about to commit murder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the usually domineering Her Majesty the Empress, for the first time, learned to restrain herself and dared not provoke him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her cower and blatantly avoid him, Lu Hualiang thought of Yang Li’s words today—he fancied Xia Weibao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face darkened, and his gaze towards her turned unfriendly, mixed with a hint of inquiry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was his status to fancy a woman whose name was mud in the street?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And furthermore, this woman’s heart wasn’t even with him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why hide?
