Where could she be if not in her room?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir, you should really do something about Madam. She’s not come down at all today, and even for meals, she has them sent up to her room.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never seen a woman so immersed in gaming that she wouldn’t come down for meals and would only nibble when food was brought to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh, she’s completely like a gaming addict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang furrowed his brow. Grieved enough to shut herself away?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That damn woman, is it that hard for her to lower her head?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she would only speak up, he would definitely help her; it’s not like he would make things difficult for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why must she be so proud?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Has she eaten then?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang asked with a cold, distant expression on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet his glance couldn’t help but drift towards the direction of the upstairs master bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know how she was doing right now—whether she was still crying or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that she was too sad to have an appetite?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She only had a few bites.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The housekeeper felt somewhat embarrassed. When the servants brought her meal, she had just started a game. By the time she finished the round, the food had gone cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she didn’t eat and continued on to the next game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It has to be said that their Madam Weibao really doesn’t sweat the small stuff. With such a scandal, if it were any other celebrity, they’d probably have fainted from crying in the bathroom by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not her; she locked herself in her room to play games!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a gaming addict!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang felt a flutter of excitement inside. See, without him, she’s helpless, heartbroken to the point where she can’t eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, at the same time, he felt a tinge of pity. If he had been by her side all along, perhaps she wouldn’t be so upset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s already thin, and now she’s not even eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir, you really need to take good care of Madam. Without you here, she’s…” about to tear the house down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, go have someone prepare a late-night snack, something light,” Lu Hualiang interrupted before the housekeeper could finish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking it over, “And boil a couple of hot eggs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s been crying all day; her eyes must be swollen. They could help soothe them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of which, he really hadn’t paid much attention to her. He always left her alone at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she would just give in, he would truly cherish her from here on out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, Director Lu’s thoughts and the housekeeper’s were not on the same wavelength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The housekeeper meant for him to properly discipline Xia Weibao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Director Lu understood it as not to neglect Xia Weibao anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The housekeeper thought Lu Hualiang hadn’t eaten yet, so he hurried off to have food prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought that after Lu Hualiang had finished eating, he would proceed to inform on Xia Weibao’s misdeeds in detail!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lu Hualiang, on the other hand, turned and went upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His stride was steady and strong, betraying no sign of abnormality, though his pace was much quicker than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing at the door to the master bedroom, he hesitated before opening it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered Yang Li’s words—Xia Weibao was at her most vulnerable right now. If he went to comfort her, to protect her against the storm, she would undoubtedly be moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps she might even throw herself into his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after sitting on a plane for more than a dozen hours without a shower…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Director Lu changed direction, going to the guest room for a bath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first time embracing a woman, naturally, he wanted to leave a good impression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the shower, the late-night snack was ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him carry the snack upstairs, Housekeeper Fu grew anxious. He hadn’t yet reported on Xia Weibao’s scandalous behavior—her misdemeanors were too numerous to record!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang’s steps quickened as he ascended the stairs, and before opening the door, his long fingers casually pulled down his bathrobe, exposing his well-built chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also readjusted his hair before pushing the door open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fearing that Xia Weibao might be too excited and rush at him, he even took care to place the tray of food to the side to avoid knocking it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However…\u003C\u002Fp>",754,"2026-06-06T16:21:59.440Z",1,"novelbin.me","0c7c7484c9d19ee3a797052313369a603b44d969abc50c46b18015e302291fdf","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-78","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-76",1766,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fplagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-cover.jpg"]
