Chapter 1754: Chapter 1755: There Is Someone in Her Heart
Xia Weibao held her breath, afraid of provoking him again.
After eating, she lay down again.
Lu Hualiang pushed the dining cart outside the door, turned back into the room, tucked her in, "Sleep a bit more, you look terrible.
I’ll be on the balcony dealing with some things, call me if you need anything."
With that, he turned to leave.
A small hand reached out from the quilt, gently grabbing the hem of his clothes.
Lu Hualiang looked down at the pale, delicate hand, then at the woman whose little head peeked out from the covers.
He said nothing.
Xia Weibao pressed her lips, nervously asking, "Are you angry?"
"No."
"Stay and sleep with me."
"I have work to do..."
"I’m scared."
Her words blocked all his excuses.
Lu Hualiang brought the laptop and leaned against the headboard.
Xia Weibao lay there, lifting her gaze to look at him, then she moved like a worm, pleasingly resting her head on his lap.
Lu Hualiang, "..."
He sighed silently, extending his arms to hold her.
One hand at work, while the other gently stroked her hair.
She was always like this, not even giving him the chance to sulk.
"Why are you angry," Xia Weibao asked.
Lu Hualiang felt a bit irritable, like there was a pent-up frustration inside him that he couldn’t release.
He wanted to lash out at her, but looking at her innocent expression, he couldn’t.
"Nothing."
Xia Weibao’s clear eyes were filled with confusion and innocence.
"Is it because I went to the bar?"
"No."
"Is it because I was careless and fell into someone else’s trap? I was thoughtless this time, I promise I’ll be careful in the future."
"Sleep, aren’t you tired."
"What are you really upset about, honey, can’t you just say it? I’m not a mind-reader, I can’t guess what’s on your mind.
Is it because I protected my second sister?"
Lu Hualiang suddenly set down the laptop, staring at her with dark eyes, "Are you only trying to protect Xia Chuyan?"
"Who else would it be."
Lu Hualiang felt a nameless rage burning inside his chest, almost scorching his insides.
Looking at her innocent and confused expression, all his anger finally turned into a sigh.
Forget it, she doesn’t understand.
"Sleep, I’ll sleep with you."
He closed the laptop, stopping his work, and lay down holding her.
"Honey..."
"Sleep."
Seeing his anger flare up, Xia Weibao dared not speak again.
She didn’t know how long they had been tangled up yesterday, but with the kiss marks and pinches on her body, it must have been intense.
Even after sleeping for a whole day and night, she still felt too tired to move a finger.
The man’s hand gently patted her back, very tenderly, very protectively.
After a while, drowsiness hit, and Xia Weibao drifted off to sleep.
Looking at her serene face in his arms, her breath even and carefree.
It was like lying in a haven, peaceful and pure.
Lu Hualiang was a little lost in thought, he raised his hand, gently brushing her face.
His eyes were deep, a sigh silently faded into the room.
"Maybe, even you don’t know, there’s another man living in your heart."
This was the real reason for his insecurity.
Even with amnesia, he still had no sense of security with her.
Xia Weibao stayed in the hotel for five days before Lu Hualiang let her go out.
She arranged to meet Xia Chuyan at a café.
In the secluded booth, Xia Weibao held a small spoon, slowly stirring.
