Chapter 2190: Chapter 2098: Baby, Come With Me 1
The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Xia Weibao’s face flushed red under his gaze, and she could only pretend to be relaxed and joke.
"Are you proposing to me?"
"Yes."
Xia Weibao froze again. She’d thought this proud man would deny it—after all, something like this is pretty embarrassing.
She didn’t expect him to admit it straight out, and now it was her turn to be at a loss.
"I..."
Lu Hualiang stared fixedly at her, refusing to let her escape. "Baby, marry me."
"I... I’ll think about it."
Lu Hualiang, "..."
This stings!
How many times has his proposal been rejected now?
The first few times, the two of them weren’t familiar yet, so her refusal was understandable.
But after half a month of being together, he could clearly feel that she had feelings for him too—she didn’t even object to sharing a bed anymore.
That’s obviously liking him!
And even in this situation his proposal still failed. Lu Liangliang felt utterly crushed and started seriously doubting his own charm!
As the ruler of a country, to fail again and again at chasing his wife—he’d lost all face.
"Alright, I’ll wait for you." But don’t make him wait too long.
He didn’t have much time left.
If in the end she still refused to willingly go with him, he was really afraid he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from using force.
After this little episode, Xia Weibao lost all interest in the outing and walked back in silence.
Lu Hualiang followed behind her, not saying anything to disturb her.
She needed time to think; he would wait.
Xia Weibao walked into the room and casually shut the door. With a bang, she almost smashed Lu Hualiang’s nose right off behind her...
Lu Hualiang, "..."
Looking at the door that had brushed past his nose, he suddenly didn’t feel anything at all.
Empress, I haven’t even entered the room yet.
Just then, the door opened again. Xia Weibao looked apologetic. "Sorry, I forgot you hadn’t come in yet."
Lu Hualiang, "..."
"Is my presence really that low..."
Xia Weibao’s expression was awkward. "I didn’t do it on purpose..."
"It’s fine for now, but after we’re married you need to be more careful." He thought for a moment, then added, "In private, do whatever you like, but in public at least give me a bit of face."
Xia Weibao’s face flushed bright red in an instant. "You... who said I was going to marry you!"
She stomped her foot after speaking, and with another bang slammed the door shut.
Lu Hualiang had just started to step forward, and with that sudden door slam, it crashed right into his foot, making him bare his teeth in pain.
He kept comforting himself in his heart: It’s fine, it’s fine, at least no one saw.
In private she could do whatever she wanted; a wife is meant to be pampered.
It’s just this habit of slamming the door all the time—really has to go.
Just imagine when they return to the palace: he, the dignified ruler of a country, being shut outside the door, then pounding on it and shouting for the empress to open up and let him in, with a whole crowd of palace maids and eunuchs watching—how humiliating!
The second day, another half of the contestants were eliminated; after the third day of matches, only ten contestants remained.
By this stage of the competition, the ones left were all true experts.
There would be a one-week break, so the ten experts could heal all their injuries and go into the final matches in their best condition.
On the day of the final match, Xia Weibao got up early in the morning. In the previous three rounds she’d advanced easily, but on the last day, no one could take it easy—this was a true showdown between masters!
And the rules were different too.
Before, it had been one-on-one on the platform; today, five people would fight together!
Besides Combat Power, for the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, strategy and leadership ability were also crucial.
