Capítulo 1223: Chapter 1223: Bro, You Dropped Your Little Sister!

Housekeeper Fu was so scared he almost had a heart attack.

“Young madam, be careful.”

Lu Hualiang just stood there with his arms crossed, watching. To him, this height was nothing at all.

“Having fun?” he asked with a smile.

Xia Weibao smiled with crescent eyes, “Yes, very.”

It was her first time celebrating the New Year in modern times; it was quite interesting.

Back in the palace, there was none of this; just a banquet, and that was it.

The palace staff would handle the lanterns and such; it was never this lively.

Plus, many of the customs were different.

“Get ready; we’ll go to the Zhong Family this afternoon and come back after the Lantern Festival.”

Wow.

Her Majesty the Empress cheered and went to find the beauty Shanshan.

In the afternoon, Lu Hualiang gave the servants the day off and took Xia Weibao to the Zhong Family.

Housekeeper Fu, who had always lived with the Lu Family and had no family of his own, went with them to the Zhong Family for the New Year.

When they arrived at the Zhong Family, Lu Huashan was hanging colored lights, and Xia Weibao happily joined to help.

After hanging the lights, the two changed clothes and went out shopping under the pretense of buying New Year goods.

Lu Hualiang was speechless; tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, and they’re just now buying the supplies?

If you want to go out for fun, just say it.

Xia Weibao didn’t care and dragged Lu Huashan out; she was very curious about the modern New Year.

Both wore sunglasses and masks, so no one should recognize them.

However, Xia Weibao kept feeling like someone was following her.

Lu Huashan didn’t realize, “Baby, are you being paranoid? I didn’t see anyone.”

Xia Weibao frowned, looking back several times, “Maybe.”

Even though she said that, she couldn’t help but look back.

Her alertness was sharp; it couldn’t be wrong.

Maybe because the person was far away, the feeling came and went.

Being followed is common for celebrities, but since she hadn’t done anything shady, she wasn’t afraid.

The two went on a shopping spree, and when they returned, each carried two large bags.

Lu Hualiang saw them coming back with their arms full and smiled broadly, thinking they bought something good.

Upon looking, all four large bags were filled with small fireworks.

Private fireworks are forbidden in the royal city, but you can have those small handheld sparklers at home.

But, do you really need to buy so many?

Xia Weibao chuckled, “Of course, we do.”

She had never played with these before; they didn’t have them in ancient times.

Back then, it was just firecrackers, not as pretty as these now.

On the first night at the Zhong Family, Xia Weibao pulled Lu Huashan outside to play with sparklers all night while Lu Hualiang and Zhong Wanshu sat watching, utterly speechless.

On New Year’s Eve, no one went out, and they huddled in the living room eating snacks and watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Xia Weibao had a pack of spicy strips, Lu Huashan had a pack of chips, Zhong Wanshu had a pack of sunflower seeds, and the three women sat side by side on the sofa, watching and discussing the gala.

The coffee table in front was covered in torn snack wrappers.

Lu Hualiang sat alone on the side, utterly speechless.

He felt like he was raising three unemployed bums.

You either explode in silence or die in silence.

The neglected Director Lu finally exploded in silence!

On the night of the first day of the new year, he kicked Lu Huashan aside and dragged Xia Weibao out for a date.

Lu Huashan shouted like crazy behind them, “Lu Hualiang, let go of my woman!”

“Baby clearly agreed to watch the fireworks with me; what right do you have to steal her!”

“Brother, brother, I was wrong; take me with you…”

“Lu Hualiang, you’ve lost a sister!!!”
