Chapter 2155: Chapter 2063: Heart Flutter, Only for a Moment 1
Simple and straightforward, pure and honest.
For someone like Lu Hualiang who grew up in an environment of deceit and power struggles, such simplicity holds a fatal attraction!
Lu Hualiang unconsciously stared in awe.
Her laughter, capable of infecting others, slowly softened his hardened lips.
Who knows how long he had been watching, Xia Weibao seemed a bit tired from playing, picked up one of the rabbits, "Xiao Bai, are you hungry?"
As she spoke, she grabbed a cabbage, held it up to Xiao Bai the rabbit, and watched the rabbit eat with relish, her gaze fixated, she even swallowed some saliva.
That greedy look as if she wanted to pounce and snatch the food...
Three black lines slid down Lu Hualiang’s forehead, fighting with a rabbit for cabbage, something she could actually do.
Suddenly he remembered, she hadn’t seemed to eat much earlier.
He turned to the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves and rummaged around for a while, found some ingredients, couldn’t make a big feast, but simple home-cooked dishes were possible.
By the time the last dish came out of the pan, he realized, that’s not right, an Emperor, why is he cooking for a woman he’s known for less than a day?
His face darkened, feeling a bit embarrassed, no one in this world has ever made him roll up his sleeves and cook.
Just when he thought of dumping the food, thinking no one is qualified to make an Emperor cook!
Unexpectedly, as he just picked it up, Xia Weibao, who smelled the aroma, already rushed in.
Looking at the lotus slices and carrot stir-fried bacon in his hand, almost drooling.
"Did you make this? It smells so good." She said as she gulped down her saliva, greedy for a taste.
This expression successfully pleased Lu Hualiang, and he said impulsively, "It’s ready, go wash your hands first."
Xia Weibao immediately turned around to wash her hands, then followed him to eat.
Maybe she was used to plain food, suddenly tasting such good cooking, Xia Weibao felt extremely satisfied.
She smiled broadly, constantly praising him.
Throughout the meal, Lu Hualiang’s gaze was gentle, occasionally serving her some dishes, and only after she licked the last plate clean and he was washing the dishes, did he realize.
That’s not right, wasn’t he going to dump them? How did it end up with him watching her eat, then waiting for her to finish and washing the dishes?
Looking at the already cleaned dishes, Lu Hualiang’s face darkened again, what a disaster, he must be possessed!
Everything was spiraling out of control, this is not a good sign.
He regained his icy, indifferent face, he couldn’t let a woman affect him, even if it was repaying a debt, all he needed to do was marry her.
An Emperor is not allowed to have emotions.
Especially since he just conquered a patch of land, the foundation is not stable, many are eyeing him like a tiger stalking prey, having a weakness would mean a countdown to death.
He wandered around the woods outside, contemplating today’s unusual behavior thoroughly.
Perhaps, he had been immersed in that scheming atmosphere too long, seen too many of those people’s hypocritical faces, suddenly encountering a simple and honest Jianghu woman, felt fresh for a moment.
He wandered until darkness fell, only then suppressing these inappropriate emotions.
Returning to the thatched cottage, he found a candle lit inside, but there was no one.
On the table were three dishes so charred they could barely be recognized, plus two bowls of rice.
Those dishes had been picked at, but not diminished.
One bowl of rice had two bites taken from it, with half a charred vegetable on top, clearly the person took a bite and found it too awful, so threw it away.
The chopsticks were a mess, probably thrown in a fit of anger.
