the posture was uncommonly harmonious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dr. Weiliang, Dr. Weiliang, are you awake?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knocking outside continued, and Xia Weibao suddenly became fully alert and sat up abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could she have overslept, blaming it all on Lu Hualiang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time she was by his side, she would sleep like a dead pig.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, look, someone was at the door. If they found out she was hiding a man in her room…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, hiding a man in a plague outbreak area—how desperate would she have to be to do such a thing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t afford to lose face that way!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, she kicked the just-awakened Lu Hualiang onto the floor, then quickly jumped off the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pushed Lu Hualiang under the bed, “Director Lu, could you please hide for a bit?”\u003C\u002Fp>",746,"2026-06-06T16:22:09.235Z",1,"novelbin.me","7c39c3d8b0e1dc05ab17454577d0b869a0c3781579fbcb2c39050bb55fc66f5c","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-642","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-640",1766,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fplagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-cover.jpg"]
