Nobody’s keeping you here!” he said coldly, glancing at Xia Weibao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed so eager to sever ties, as though he was the one longing to be involved with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring Xia Weibao, Lu Hualiang stood up and walked into the bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned on the faucet directly, letting cold water cascade down upon him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking that he would get better? No chance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the room, Xia Weibao wore a look of confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All she’d said was that she wanted to move to the guest room, not that anyone was keeping her—why did he suddenly turn so hostile?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t figure this man out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her Majesty the Empress was not one to look for trouble. She placed Lu Hualiang’s medicine on the bedside table and then dove under the covers to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Xia Weibao was awakened by the doorbell to find a familiar face before her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“His Majesty…” she murmured, somewhat dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it her emperor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang slowly opened his eyes, and a powerful oppressive aura enveloped the room instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you calling?” he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cold voice made Xia Weibao snap back to reality; this man was Lu Hualiang, not her Dog Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing,” she replied, her tone turning cold as she then got up to freshen up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind her, Lu Hualiang’s expression grew darker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who had she just been calling?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That sorrowful look, the lingering tone of her voice, clearly pining for someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xia Weibao came out of the bathroom, she noticed that Lu Hualiang was glaring at her with displeasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was puzzled. “What are you looking at me for?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who were you just calling?” he repeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wasn’t calling anyone. I was talking in my sleep,” Xia Weibao said casually, walking to the bedside and reaching out to touch his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why do you have a fever again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed to have improved a lot last night, so why had it worsened by the morning?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director Lu, maybe you shouldn’t go to work today. Stay home and rest,” she suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang was about to say that he wasn’t that idle; there were a lot of things waiting for him at the company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could speak, Xia Weibao started talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll prepare some medicine first, and I’ll come back early this evening to check on you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that she would return early that evening, Lu Hualiang immediately picked up his phone, “Assistant Yang, I won’t be coming to the office today. Handle whatever comes up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao gave him a faint smile, “That’s a good boy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other end of the phone, Yang Li stared at the hanged-up call, completely clueless about what had just transpired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were three important meetings scheduled for that morning, and just yesterday, his boss had explicitly instructed him to prepare the content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why had he suddenly decided not to come?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about the meetings!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Xia Weibao went to the set, Lu Hualiang started a video conference at home and the butler brought him the medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the dark concoction, he expressed clear disdain for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But considering that Xia Weibao had personally prescribed it, he took a small sip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he poured the rest away. Medicine shouldn’t be taken indiscriminately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if he got better?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the afternoon, Lu Hualiang went to work out for another two hours, followed by dousing himself with a bucket of ice water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, when Xia Weibao returned in the evening, his high fever had not only not abated, it had flared up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several days of this, Xia Weibao began to doubt her own medical skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, how could she not cure a simple fever!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Boss Lu lay in bed in the master bedroom without a care, glancing at the spot next to him and feeling very satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huashan only learned about her brother’s illness several days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She called almost gleefully to gloat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a tone laced with mockery, she said, “Brother, I heard you’re sick? Been sick for several days? You deserve it, for marrying a vixen!”\u003C\u002Fp>",709,"2026-06-06T16:21:59.440Z",1,"novelbin.me","4c0f18102c07d35869da902d80caf64734c385cff15da05747b65fe79fdc8833","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-138","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-136",1766,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fplagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-cover.jpg"]
