Chapter 1786: Chapter 1786: Boss, I Was Wrong (1)
Xia Weibao felt a bit lost and helpless as she was embraced by Lu Hualiang and lay down.
"I can’t sleep."
Lu Hualiang, with his arm draped under her neck, gently rubbed her shoulder through the thin nightwear.
"Do you want me to take you for a walk?"
Xia Weibao shook her head, "No."
She just didn’t want to sleep, but he needed to.
He’s been so busy lately that he hasn’t even had the time to eat, how could she bear to make him stay up with her?
"I’ll talk with you for a bit."
"No need, you sleep. I’ll close my eyes, I should fall asleep soon."
As Xia Weibao spoke, she leaned closer into his arms.
Resting her head on his arm, with one hand crossing over his chest to hug his neck, her small face nestled against him, full of dependence.
Lu Hualiang kissed the crown of her hair, then rested his chin on her forehead, "If you can’t sleep, remember to call me."
Xia Weibao didn’t reply, only nodded.
Resting in his arms, her eyes shone with an indescribable light in the darkness.
For some reason, her heart was racing a bit.
She didn’t dare close her eyes, seemingly afraid of falling asleep.
With eyes open until the middle of the night, she didn’t know if she had fallen asleep, but in a daze, she felt the man’s body move, gently removing her arm from around him.
Then he withdrew his arm from under her neck.
Xia Weibao opened her eyes.
Lu Hualiang paused in his cautious movements, "Awake?"
He had been afraid of waking her up, so his movements were very light.
Xia Weibao murmured softly, "Is it time to go?"
It was quite frustrating, clearly being a legal couple, yet acting as if they’re having a secret affair.
Sleeping in each other’s arms at night, then sneaking away before dawn.
Lu Hualiang pinched her face, "Once you’re done with the election, we’ll go home."
Returning to their home so they wouldn’t have to sneak around like this.
Xia Weibao pouted, feeling a bit unhappy.
But thinking that there were only a few days left until the final round of the competition, if she could deal with Xia Yongxuan and the others, she could go back.
As for being the Patriarch of the Xia Family, she’s not interested!
After Lu Hualiang left, Xia Weibao didn’t feel like sleeping either and got up to the balcony to feel the breeze.
Watching the sunrise wasn’t bad either.
As dawn approached, there seemed to be some commotion in the Peach Forest. She looked down, only to see Long Xuanye in a white tracksuit standing under a peach tree, looking straight at her.
Startled, Xia Weibao panicked, accidentally spilling a cup of warm water onto her clothes.
She turned and ran back to her room, her retreating figure appearing somewhat like a hasty escape.
Yang Zixin, sitting at a stone table, looked up at the second-floor balcony and then at the man standing beside him.
Shaking his head, he found these two people more and more unfathomable.
Rarely did Nan Yi come for a morning walk in the Peach Forest and happened upon this scene.
Staring at the now empty second-floor balcony,
this woman was becoming more intriguing.
Not only was she involved with Summer, but now she was also entangled with Long Xuanye, who appeared out of nowhere, ha!
Truly not a simple woman.
Suddenly reminded of something, the uncharacteristically pale complexion under Nan Yi’s long bangs froze for a moment, indeed she was a complex woman!
He was very curious about how she managed to strip his clothes off without him knowing!
Every time he thought of the utter humiliation of being seen naked by an auntie, he just wanted to eliminate this woman!
Glancing darkly in the direction of the second-floor balcony, Nan Yi sneered and continued his walk.
Xia Weibao returned to her room, her heart pounding uneasily.
For reasons unknown, she suddenly lost the courage to face Long Xuanye.
