When she woke up, Lu Hualiang was already up.

He was standing on the balcony, talking on the phone.

The heavy curtains were drawn, making the room dimly lit, with only some light coming in, along with his voice.

She couldn’t understand which language he was speaking; she couldn’t grasp a single word.

Last night she had shouted till her voice was hoarse; now it felt dry and thirsty.

Lazily, she crawled out of bed, groggily going to get some water.

But unexpectedly, there was no water left in the room.

So she picked up a cup and opened the door to go downstairs to the kitchen for water.

But unexpectedly, as she opened the door, she ran into Neil who was about to knock.

Neil remained in his knocking posture, his mind momentarily frozen.

He had come over worrying that Xia hadn’t gotten up even by noon and thought something might have happened.

Unexpectedly, before he even knocked, the door opened by itself, revealing a tantalizing scene!

Facing Xia Weibao’s clearly overindulged face, his mind went blank.

His gaze moved down from her breathtakingly beautiful face; she was wearing a man’s T-shirt, large and long.

From his angle, most of her long legs were covered.

And much of her arms were obscured as well.

He remembered that this shirt was Summer’s...

But that wasn’t the main point; the main point was that the collar was somewhat wide, revealing half a shoulder, and the smooth skin around the chest adorned with red strawberry marks!

Neil’s eyes instantly widened.

Xia Weibao blinked slowly twice, still in a half-awake, dreamy state.

Why was there a stranger in her house; could he be here to steal something?

She might have to defend herself properly then.

Wait, this doesn’t seem to be Lu Garden but rather...

Eyes abruptly wide open!

A flash of panic crossed her face, her grip lost control, and with a crack, she shattered the glass she was holding!

She slammed the door shut with a bang, leaning against it, somewhat annoyed. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

How could she forget something so important, now they’ve been caught red-handed.

Lu Hualiang heard the commotion and quickly came in from the balcony.

Seeing her legs bare and her clothes disheveled against the door, his face changed subtly, and he strode over.

"What happened?"

Seeing her still holding broken glass, his face turned pale with fright.

"How did you break the cup?"

Xia Weibao glanced down, quickly discarding the shards.

"Accidentally crushed it."

Lu Hualiang, "..."

Accidentally crushing a cup, that’s quite something.

"What happened?"

While asking, Lu Hualiang carefully inspected her hand.

There was a cut, with some blood seeping out.

He picked her up horizontally, placing her onto the couch, then retrieved a medical kit to treat her wound.

His movements were gentle, careful not to hurt her, even blowing softly like coaxing a child.

"Bear with it, it’ll stop hurting soon."

Xia Weibao, "..."

Just a tiny wound like this, like a mosquito bite, she hadn’t become so feeble to cry out in pain, right?

"I’m fine."

"How can you be so careless." Lu Hualiang’s tone was reproachful, yet his expression betrayed his true emotions.

Xia Weibao shrugged, "I forgot this is Xia Family; just now when I opened the door to get water, I ran into a handsome guy and got scared."

Lu Hualiang frowned slightly, narrowing his eyes, "Handsome guy?"

"Yeah, a very tall, handsome Western guy; hubby, who is he? He looks really tall, really handsome, really manly, and his eyes are amber-colored, really beautiful."
