to sleep, Director Lu, don’t be a beast\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fearing she couldn’t control her emotions, she quickly grabbed a set of pajamas and rushed into the bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned on the shower and let the water splash onto her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold water rained down on her face, trickling over her slender neck and seeping into her clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gently caressing her skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The icy touch slowly calmed her recently tumultuous emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After soaking in the bath, she washed away her fatigue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she couldn’t wash away the chaotic thoughts in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she came out, the room was empty and Xia Weibao breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked to the vanity, where all her usual skincare products were laid out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brand was specially customized by Lu Hualiang for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said her skin was delicate and unsuitable for commercial skincare products, so he took her to get a skin test and then set up a production line exclusively for her skincare needs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she rarely used them, preferring her herbal medicines, he still prepared them for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lu Hualiang truly cared for someone, he really knew how to spoil you like a princess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao stood for a while, then Lu Hualiang entered the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at her, ‘I’ve arranged for someone to investigate Huang Wenan, Wan Ke, and Chu Ying, and we should have results by tomorrow morning.'”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Oh, got it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao scratched the back of her head, ‘Then I… I’m going to sleep first.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hurriedly climbed into bed and covered herself with the duvet after speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang watched her with a heavy gaze before going to take a shower with his clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking advantage of Lu Hualiang’s absence, Xia Weibao quickly called Zhuang Xuejun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after she was sure that Zhuang Xuejun was doing well at Han Luoqi’s did she relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They made plans to meet tomorrow and then she hung up the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also called Xia Shi, reminding her to remember to apply ointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worried about being caught by Lu Hualiang, she hurriedly ended the call and lay back on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the man came out, he saw her lying in bed, but he didn’t know whether she was asleep or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao lay there nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was tired and sleepy, but her mind was too cluttered and her heart too heavy, filled with a sour feeling that prevented her from falling asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her headache was splitting and, without release, she felt like she would go mad!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Lu Hualiang’s footsteps, her palms sweated with tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rustling sound of him possibly picking something up was followed shortly by the sound of a hairdryer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was drying his hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought of him coming to bed after drying his hair made her even more anxious about where to place her hands and feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t long before the hairdryer stopped, then more footsteps followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the duvet was lifted, and the other side of the bed dipped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bedside lamp was turned off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the darkness, every sense was magnified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao felt even her breathing was tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when a hot hand touched her waist, she stiffened all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling her stiffness, Lu Hualiang pressed his warm body against hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His chest tightly against her back, ‘What’s wrong?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His warm breath on the nape of her neck intensified the sensation, as if scalding her, numb and tingling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heartbeat went wild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Nothing… I’m going to sleep.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shifted her body outwards, trying to break free from his embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This really couldn’t go on…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang’s eyes turned fierce as he sensed her wish to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tightened his grip, pulling her back forcefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intensity left no room for argument.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wouldn’t give in to him, and he had endured it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he would not yield on the matter of sleeping separately!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Lu Hualiang lowered his head and placed a rather cold kiss between her shoulder and neck.”\u003C\u002Fp>",673,"2026-06-06T16:22:09.235Z",1,"novelbin.me","b698c5af213cc1824ee9a0eecd55e7a73159714e1101825c31c97528ffed09a6","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-604","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-602",1766,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fplagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-cover.jpg"]
