Chapter 2184: Chapter 2092: Love Root Deeply Planted 3

He would never use that kind of drug on her.

He loved her, longed for her, but also respected her.

If he wanted to force it, given her sweet and gentle nature, after so many days of sharing a bed, with just a little persuasion she would have long become his woman.

But he would never do such a thing.

She was his empress, the woman he wanted to spend his life with.

He would take her back to the palace, hold a wedding, a grand ceremony to coronate the empress, the whole nation celebrating, a general amnesty granted!

He would marry her with great pomp and let the world know that she was his woman!

And not carelessly steal her purity.

This was why, during this time, he flirted with her daily but never truly made a move.

His woman deserved the best.

Xia Weibao’s heart was in utter chaos, as if a thousand little deer were darting around inside, thumping rapidly.

Her face flushed with embarrassment, "Then... what if I never consent willingly?"

"I can wait, will always wait until the day you agree."

The man’s gaze was like a hot spring, threatening to drown her; the deep affection in his eyes, capable of melting anything, made Xia Weibao’s heart race even faster.

A woman like her, who had always been alone, had never come into contact with matters of love and was utterly unprepared.

Covering her blushing face, she didn’t know where to put her hands and feet.

Knowing she was shy, Lu Hualiang wisely held back and stood up, "I’m going out for a walk, to get familiar with the surroundings."

It wasn’t until the door opened and closed again that the blush on Xia Weibao’s face subsided a little. It was too awkward.

Luckily he left, otherwise she wouldn’t know how to face the situation. freewⅇbnovel.com

She continued to tidy up the jars and bottles on the table, but her hand froze when she reached the bottle of Yin-Yang Love Powder.

The blush that had just faded swiftly climbed back up.

After hesitating for a moment, she set this bottle aside by itself.

After putting things away, she also went outside to take a walk.

Lingjian Villa was nestled against mountains and water, with beautiful scenery and a great environment.

In the back, there were valleys, forests, and rivers. It was a place of spiritual beauty, where one could practice martial arts or enjoy the views during leisure time, a wonderful experience.

As more people started gathering, Xia Weibao walked around, scouting which experts were participating this year.

She didn’t return until dinner time, but Lu Hualiang was nowhere to be seen.

Xia Weibao frowned; he had left earlier than her, why wasn’t he back yet?

She waited until nighttime, but he still hadn’t returned, and Xia Weibao began to panic.

Where had he gone? It had been most of the day; had he... left?

At this thought, she couldn’t sit still and hurriedly headed out.

She had to find him; Lingjian Villa was so large, and it was his first time here. Maybe he got lost.

He had promised not to leave, promised not to abandon her alone. How could he just leave without saying anything!

She searched through the guest courtyards but didn’t see even a trace of Lu Hualiang, and Xia Weibao was completely panicked.

Grabbing someone at random, "Excuse me, have you seen a man, about this tall, very handsome, dressed in black?"

"No."

"Excuse me, have you seen a very handsome man, about this tall..."

"Yes, isn’t the very handsome man my husband?"

Xia Weibao, "..."

Sorry to have bothered you.

After asking a dozen people, none of them had seen him.

Having searched the accommodations, she went to look elsewhere.

She heard that the back mountain was very beautiful and many people liked to go there for the view. Maybe he went there too?

So she went to the back mountain, standing by the river. In the dark night, only the sound of wind and insects could be heard. Looking at the empty night, two streams of tears slid down her cheeks.
