Indeed, discussions occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they talked with my father, which is probably how the matter of her being my fiancée came about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the outcome of their negotiations, I don’t know. I never cared, so you shouldn’t either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just know that my wife is you, you are my, Lu Hualiang’s, only wife.

It had nothing to do with Lu Hualiang in the first place, yet Yan Weiyang’s mother sought him out, wasting one of Lu Hualiang’s promises for nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put, a debt of favor was paid off. How wonderful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face pressed against Lu Hualiang’s chest, listening to his strong and steady heartbeat, her gaze, however, was somewhat icy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had taken over Xia Weibao’s body, so Xia Weibao’s grudges must be avenged by her personally!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breakfast, she sat on the sofa, reading today’s newspaper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the entertainment page, almost all the news was about Lu Hualiang’s sudden appearance at the Golden Ying Award Ceremony last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao logged onto Weibo, and as expected, the top trending topic was Lu Hualiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her winning the Golden Ying Award-winning Actress only ranked fourth in the trending searches.\u003C\u002Fp>",686,"2026-06-06T16:22:10.344Z",1,"novelbin.me","38fad0fb5639126bf0866b7ae8f6e695e8918e3a5f3902f2441e51e351e9fe88","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-749","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-747",1766,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fplagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-cover.jpg"]
