Weibao’s lips curled up slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this other world, she was no longer alone, she finally had a home of her own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lu Hualiang finished washing the sheets and threw them into the dryer, he came out to see Xia Weibao sitting at the vanity, combing her hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao turned her head, gave him a sweet smile, and then shook the peach wood comb in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Husband, come and help me comb my hair.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used to love combing her hair the most, also with this comb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the token of their love, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, as long as his love for her didn’t fade, the peach wood comb would not rot, and it turned out to be true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the girl’s charmingly smiling face, Lu Hualiang’s heart was pierced sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This comb, it belonged to the man in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he was still just a stand-in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night she was so forward, giving her virginity to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now she also said she loved him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought that she had accepted him in her heart, rather than seeing him as a stand-in for that man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it turned out, he was being wishful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a somewhat self-deprecating laugh, it was a foreseen outcome, why bother deceiving himself any further?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, she stayed, didn’t she?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he opened his mouth, he found his throat a bit dry, his mouth filled with bitterness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The loss in his eyes quickly concealed, and by the time Xia Weibao looked at him, there was no sign of anything amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao didn’t notice anything unusual about him, handed the peach wood comb to him, and gave him a sweet smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she turned around, watching him groom her in the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hair was very straight, the roots soft, the unprocessed natural hair quality draping smoothly down to her waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt comfortable to touch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang moved gently, somewhat distracted by the three thousand strands of hair before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To sit before a mirror and be groomed, with heads lifted in perfect harmony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a blissful scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How wonderful it would have been if he were the man in her heart if he were the one she wanted to comb her hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alas, he couldn’t find his way into her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does my hair look nice?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao wore a shy smile typical of a young girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She used to have very smooth and black hair that His Majesty loved to play with every time he combed it for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hair of this body was also beautiful like before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at herself in the mirror, along with the man combing her hair, it was as if she had returned to a thousand years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The days in the Imperial Harem when His Majesty and she groomed each other before a mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A full sense of happiness almost spilled out from her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao’s smile was as sweet as honey, bubbling up, even the bubbles were pink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face was full of smiles, a sweetness that cannot be diluted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at his joyful laughter, Lu Hualiang felt a taste in his heart he could not articulate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was his woman, currently by his side, yet her mind was filled with another man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was there anything more hurtful than that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart was riddled with a thousand holes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he didn’t even have the right to reproach her, for he had once said that as long as she stayed by his side, even as a stand-in, it didn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why did you stop combing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Lu Hualiang had stopped moving for a long time, Xia Weibao was puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking up, she just caught the desolate, heartbroken look in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It vanished in an instant, hidden beneath his gentle gaze that was calm and still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was just thinking about some things,” he said calmly, continuing to comb her hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He behaved very calmly, without a trace of anything unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that wounded look just now lingered in Xia Weibao’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the matter, are you unhappy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I was suddenly reminded of some matters at the company, trivial stuff.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao frowned, she would be surprised if she believed him.\u003C\u002Fp>",720,"2026-06-06T16:22:09.519Z",1,"novelbin.me","b3e4eb2c1f383671bf3df2c4876566748d28c1c8b40addd8267285ca760ace4f","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-678","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-676",1766,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fplagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-cover.jpg"]
