The exquisite, expensive jewelry box couldn’t withstand the tremendous pressure and became distorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he headed to the underground parking lot, he passed a restaurant by the roadside. Through the glass window, he saw Xia Weibao sitting inside with Xu Jiayang and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group was holding their phones, seemingly playing a game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao, probably having lost another round, was quarreling with Leng Yan, pointing at his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he couldn’t hear the sound inside from a distance, he could see that she was in a good mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang lowered his gaze, concealing the loneliness in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that this three-day cold war had no impact on her whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days without seeing or contacting each other meant nothing to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps this was exactly what she hoped for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without his constraints, she seemed happier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the luxuriously and romantically decorated restaurant, Lu Hualiang looked at the jewelry box on the table, now deformed from his grip, expressionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside it were her favorite spicy snacks and snacks, along with her favorite gaming account.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room was filled with champagne roses and warm romantic music.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything he had meticulously prepared for her had become a mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After watching the premiere of “Favored Consort of a Dynasty,” Xia Weibao and others went online to check the reviews after dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first day’s box office numbers wouldn’t be available until tomorrow, but the reviews were already visible today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To everyone’s surprise, “Favored Consort of a Dynasty” made the headlines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was almost all positive reviews!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although there were some criticisms, saying it felt like a brainless idol drama with no depth, all these comments were drowned in the praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by the speed of the overwhelming reviews, the box office was sure to be substantial!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had already planned to go out tonight, treating it as a pre-celebration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao was an active person who loved to play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally restricted by Lu Hualiang, she had hardly any time to go out, so being able to be out tonight was like a bird returning to the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The familiar friends played exuberantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At nine-thirty, Xia Weibao glanced at the time and put down the dice cup in her hand, “It’s time, I should head home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Yan, who had drunk quite a bit, was standing on the table using a bottle as a microphone, reciting poetry bad enough to make Li Bai turn in his grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he turned his head, “What’s with the time? It’s only nine-thirty, and you’re going home?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have to… be home by ten.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mid-sentence, Xia Weibao paused for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang had said, in the future, she needed to be home by ten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, since they were in a cold war and he was on a business trip, no one was around to watch over her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet subconsciously, she still felt the need to be home by ten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When had she already been subtly influenced by him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What she once thought of as a restriction had now become a habit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at the dice cup on the table, Xia Weibao felt a bit lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, tonight, she didn’t want to go back so early. After all, Lu Garden was cold and deserted now, and she’d be alone if she returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, she still left early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she returned to Lu Garden, she saw Housekeeper Fu directing the maids to clean up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her return alone, Housekeeper Fu was somewhat puzzled, “Young Madam, why are you alone?
