Chapter 1845: Chapter 1842: Junior Sister, Come With Me
"Didn’t I tell you not to leave Lu Garden during this time? How did you promise me then?"
Xia Weibao felt a jolt in her heart—here it comes, here comes the one settling accounts.
Her mind turned quickly, "I haven’t been to work for so long because of official business, going back to report to the company, and then just meeting up with friends.
I’ll definitely try to go out less in the future, I promise!"
Lu Hualiang really wanted to say that her promises were worthless.
But thinking about it, saying it wouldn’t help anyway—he’s not around, and no one could control her.
So he softened his tone, "Be careful, Nan Yi is scarier than you imagine. If you really provoke him, the consequences could be disastrous."
"Got it, got it." Her attitude was dismissive.
Lu Hualiang had a headache—this temperament, if he hadn’t been protecting her, who knows what trouble she might stir up.
"I’ll be back soon, wait for me."
His low voice came through the phone, carrying some kind of enchantment.
Xia Weibao’s heart trembled for a moment—compelled, she uttered softly, "Mm, husband, I’ll wait for you."
Not until the call ended did she realize, her face turned beet red.
Why say something so mushy!
Waiting for him? Waiting for him to come back to clean up after her?
Xia Weibao swiftly got out of bed, washed and dressed, ate, and then headed out.
It was already noon, combining breakfast with lunch.
From what Lu Hualiang said, he’s about to return, so she had to make sure to enjoy herself to the fullest!
First, she went to find the Chicken Trio, and then made a round at the Divine Doctor Medical Hall.
It made Xiang Chu and Hepburn incredibly excited—Lion Tiger, you’re finally back, they missed her terribly!
Seeing her two apprentices, Xia Weibao was also very happy.
Not seeing each other for a while, Xiang Chu became even more fascinated by Chinese medicine, while Hepburn’s Chinese proficiency regressed.
Out of ten words, nine were incomprehensible.
Fortunately, she had always been learning English, so communicating with him wasn’t a problem.
She crazily enjoyed herself for two days, meeting all her previous friends.
She wasn’t in a hurry to take on any gigs.
Now, the entertainment industry doesn’t attract her as much as it did in the beginning.
She pushed herself hard—one reason was to rehabilitate the former owner, the other was because she loved challenges.
And now, not only has she cleared her name, she’s at the top.
So, making movies and such—one a year is enough, quality over quantity, semi-retired.
Today, she arranged to go to a bar again, only returning after playing until the dead of night.
Halfway, she was blocked again.
Seeing the car parked sideways ahead, Xia Weibao really wanted to shout if Nan Yi would ever stop.
But she didn’t expect, before she could curse, a man in a white suit stepped out of the car in front.
Xia Weibao froze—it’s Long Xuanye.
What is he doing here.
They hadn’t seen each other for a while. Seeing him again, Xia Weibao sensed a strange familiarity in him.
Countless scenes seemed to flash before her eyes, as if they were from her dreams.
Very unreal, impossible to grasp.
Long Xuanye didn’t speak, just leaned half against the car door, his gaze focused intently on her.
Xia Weibao hesitated for a moment but got out of the car.
Seeing her get out, Long Xuanye walked over.
Under Xia Weibao’s puzzled gaze, he reached out and pulled her into his embrace.
Xia Weibao was startled by the action, jumped back as if pricked by a needle, freeing herself from his hug.
Her gaze wary, "What do you want!"
The guarded look pierced Long Xuanye’s heart.
She’s afraid of him.
This realization cut him deeply.
The little junior sister who once relied so much on him now was full of caution.
He looked sadly at her, "Junior sister, come with me."
