Once she sat down, she discovered, damn, this wooden horse is mechanically controlled!!!!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So disappointing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought even if it wasn’t a real horse, at least she would control it herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turns out it was mechanically controlled, so slow she felt like kicking the wooden horse away!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few spins, she got bored and obediently climbed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling a bit disappointed, she walked towards Lu Hualiang, shrugged, and said, “I want to ride a horse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She really, really wanted to ride a real horse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those days when she roamed the Jianghu, full of heroic spirit, she really missed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her looking so aggrieved, Lu Hualiang almost blurted out to take her horse riding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, he held back at the last moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her temperament, he was truly afraid she’d go out of control at the stable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, someone whizzed past them on ice skates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao’s eyes lit up, sparkling as she asked, “Hubby, what kind of shoes are those?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said, while searching her memory, ice skates!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The original owner never played, but they seemed really fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she looked at Lu Hualiang with her eyes shining brightly, that look, that look…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll go buy them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to resist her expectant gaze, Lu Hualiang resignedly went to buy a pair of ice skates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat Xia Weibao down on a stone bench at the edge of the plaza, knelt before her, gently took off her shoes, and put on the ice skates for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally, a few passersby would glance over at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look at that man, he really loves his girlfriend.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, if my boyfriend would change my shoes for me, I’d marry him without a second thought…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing such comments and seeing the man half-kneeling in front of her, Xia Weibao felt warmth spreading in her chest, and a certain emotion seemed about to burst out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, how many men in this world would go to such lengths for a woman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially a proud man like Lu Hualiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giving up his pride and dignity, just for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They say a man’s dignity is as precious as gold, yet to change her shoes, he knelt like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His movements were gentle and meticulous, as if he was caring for a treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warmth surging in her chest, she suddenly leaned forward, cupping his head, and kissed his cool lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time she took the initiative, sucking on his cold lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang was stunned for a moment, then slightly parted his lips to bite back, responding to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was rare for his wife to be so proactive, so he happily went along with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t take over, but cooperated with her kiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao’s skills were naturally not as good as his, and after a while, she didn’t know how to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she hugged his neck, “I love you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her orchid-like breath sprayed on his ear, leaving him in a daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, the corners of his mouth slowly rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said she loved him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, the love in her words was directed at him, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And not at a stand-in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Xia Weibao’s first time using ice skates, she couldn’t even stand steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She needed Lu Hualiang’s support to slowly get used to it, and fell into his arms several times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frightening Lu Hualiang, who almost wanted to ask her to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how could Xia Weibao agree, after several tries she got the hang of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she could even perform Qinggong, so what’s a pair of ice skates?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she got the hang of it, she skated away, weaving through the plaza like a bird returning to the forest, indescribably happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wherever she went, she left behind laughter like tinkling bells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lights on the plaza flickered, neon lights shone, all seemed to become her backdrop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman like the wind, graceful and free.\u003C\u002Fp>",669,"2026-06-06T16:22:12.039Z",1,"novelbin.me","7794353a8b3da359b71242159b12ca8921918a3dacf04269cd5135903a4c6976","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-890","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-888",1766,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fplagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-cover.jpg"]
