Her skin was really nice and felt great to pinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To make up for our wedding anniversary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first wedding anniversary definitely needed to be made up for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao raised an eyebrow; she wanted to make up for it too. They couldn’t leave any regrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it had been so long since their last date, so tomorrow they’d go on a date.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Lu Hualiang returned to the company and immediately called over Yang Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arrange a romantic date!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, how about using the setup from last time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang kept a straight face, \"Not romantic enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Li, \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really wanted to say, Master, you’re not even close to being romantic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly remembering something, Yang Li’s eyes widened. Damn, could it be that his master saw comments online saying he was too stiff and unromantic, and didn’t deserve Xia Weibao?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he wanted a romantic date, huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he thought about it, the more it seemed that way. So, Eunuch Yang racked his brains, turned over dating manuals, and finally came up with a few seemingly very romantic date ideas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang reviewed the plans, \"Are these all really romantic?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dining in the rain, watching fireworks on a Ferris wheel, riding a carousel together, walking on the beach writing hearts in the sand, kissing among the autumn leaves, going out to sea for a tender and loving water adventure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did he feel that apart from the last one, all the others were foolish?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second to last wasn’t too bad either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Li earnestly said, \"Yes, Master, these are the top romantic date ideas of the year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang felt a bit of disdain; these activities weren’t his style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thinking about those people saying he didn’t understand romance like Fang Lilin, he casually flipped through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prepare this for tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Li glanced over, gave an OK sign, and went off to make the arrangements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao was busy until four in the afternoon, and Lu Hualiang was already waiting in the underground parking lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking the elevator straight down to the parking lot, she saw Lu Hualiang sitting inside the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao frowned; he used to get out and open the door for her when he saw her coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why didn’t he move this time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn’t sweat the small stuff and opened the door to get in by herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to buckle her seatbelt, Lu Hualiang said, \"My jacket is in the trunk, can you get it for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her Majesty the Empress paused her action of buckling the seatbelt, frowned, \"The jacket’s in the trunk?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seems fishy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would a jacket randomly end up in the trunk?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And couldn’t he go get it himself? Just sitting there doing nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she found it a bit odd, Xia Weibao still got out of the car to retrieve it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she opened the trunk, her eyes were met with a sea of red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trunk was stuffed full with bright red roses, and it looked really... tacky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao’s eye twitched fiercely, suddenly at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red roses, so cliché.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first time receiving them was a surprise, but the second time...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, there were so many of them, packed tightly together, not at all pleasant to look at; it was almost triggering her fear of dense clusters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the man’s body pressed against hers from behind, gently wrapping her in an embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered his head and planted a kiss behind her ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you like it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His deep voice, like a bass, whispered seductively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her Majesty the Empress felt as if she could drown in that magnetic voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, she really couldn’t bring herself to like those unbearably tacky red roses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the act was way too deliberate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned her head to meet Lu Hualiang’s expectant eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if they were saying, Isn’t this surprising? Are you touched? Do you like it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not having the heart to say something hurtful, Xia Weibao forced a smile, \"I like it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",693,"2026-06-06T16:22:23.467Z",1,"novelbin.me","fe094d77bac9a15cc05306c3de4a8b31152d7e3cfa4a749316102e5e87b5b99e","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-1464","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-1462",1766,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fplagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-cover.jpg"]
