head, her mind was blank, and it took a while before she came to her senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the woman who had fallen asleep on the bed, then looking at the photo in her hand, she thought about her emotional outburst just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person in her heart must look very similar to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why she lost control upon seeing a similar photo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, she felt somewhat self-mocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it turns out, she really was just a substitute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning around, she walked to the liquor cabinet, took out the strongest bottle of alcohol, and went to the balcony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the French windows, she could see the person sleeping on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart was fiercely torn apart once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, when Xia Weibao woke up, she was alone in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes felt uncomfortable, she rubbed them, and then she remembered what happened last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She struck her head hard twice, filled with regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What happened, why did she break down all of a sudden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And to have said those things in front of Lu Hualiang, she also didn’t know what he would think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked around the room and didn’t see him anywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blanket beside her was neat and tidy as if no one had slept there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling somewhat powerless, she dropped her shoulders and sat for a few minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she got up to wash up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she came downstairs, some servants were cleaning, but she still didn’t see Lu Hualiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she saw Housekeeper Fu instructing someone to change the potted plants, Xia Weibao walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Housekeeper Fu, where is Director Lu?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir is over in the garden.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking his word for it, Xia Weibao stepped out in her slippers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she arrived at the back garden, she saw Lu Hualiang sitting under a grape trellis reading a book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was wearing a set of beige casual clothes today, holding a book in his hand, with sunlight streaming through the gaps of the grape trellis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spots of light fell on him in a dappled pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The perfect profile of his face seemed like nature’s proudest work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lacking his usual sharpness, he was as quiet as the boy next door at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like being in a different world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sunlight was so handsome it set her heart racing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump, thump, Xia Weibao’s heartbeat accelerated by two beats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her sense of guilt grew even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite not liking him, knowing she belonged to Emperor Xia Liang, but her heart still raced for his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew it was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not only a betrayal of the Dog Emperor but also a disrespect to Lu Hualiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, she couldn’t control her own heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling her gaze, Lu Hualiang looked up and smiled at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That smile, facing the sunlight, made Xia Weibao’s heart stop for an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like an electric current passing through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was very warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She never knew that Lu Hualiang could have such a sunny and warm smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He extended his hand to her and said, “Come here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao walked over hesitantly, at a loss of what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night’s incident was like a thorn that lay between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew he must be hurt, but she didn’t know how to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she couldn’t explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was the Empress of Emperor Xia Liang, and that was an unchangeable fact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, she couldn’t return his feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang extended his elegant and noble hand, took her fair and delicate hand, gave a gentle pull, and she was sitting in his embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The book was put aside, he wrapped his arms around her waist, and gently kissed her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was tender, “Have you had breakfast?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao shook her head, obedient like a child who had done something wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll eat with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao’s eyes flickered, “Director Lu, about last night, I…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had barely spoken when Lu Hualiang suddenly kissed her, stopping her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their lips touched without any further movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, he released her, their noses rubbing gently against each other, indescribably affectionate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as you stay by my side, I can endure.”\u003C\u002Fp>",747,"2026-06-06T16:22:08.371Z",1,"novelbin.me","1d0de6fd16c1b66048109c3e619920138a0937df7eae85d26f43eac43a449b10","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-508","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-506",1766,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fplagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-cover.jpg"]
