What were you going to say? Better than me, huh? Better than me in skills?” Xia Weibao raised her hand, pressing the car roof. Feeling a bit suffocated, she wanted to open the convertible for some fresh air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wifey, if there’s really someone better than you, what would you do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, that depends on the person, male or female.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it’s a beauty, then it’s fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it’s a man, well, then it’s worth competing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Medical skills better than hers, she’d love to see that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang pondered for a moment, suddenly wanting to tease her, “It’s a woman, might even be your rival.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he spoke, Lu Hualiang felt a beam of sunshine spilling over his head, followed by a gust of wind blowing in, sweeping his hair backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slammed the brakes, turning his head swiftly, only to see Xia Weibao leisurely retracting her hand and patting away imaginary dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Casually she said, “Oops, sorry, got a little too strong-handed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang, “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blasting off the Rolls-Royce’s roof, it wasn’t just a bit strong-handed, was it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kind of nostalgic, it’s been a while since he’s seen her smash a car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao pulled out a tissue, pinching each side with her thumb and forefinger, then tore it lightly in two before Lu Hualiang’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you just say?
