Lu Hualiang pinched her cheek, "Silly."

What do other people’s opinions have to do with him?

How could the opinions of future generations affect him?

When a person dies, it’s like the lights go out. Even if future generations sing their praises, what use is it?

He is willing to give up the throne and his life for her, searching tirelessly for ten lifetimes; how could he regret the foolish things he did for her in the past?

Even if he could start over a hundred times, his actions would not change.

Some people, once committed, is for life after life.

Xia Weibao’s eyes were slightly red, suddenly feeling very lucky to have met such a good man.

"So, what did you come to see me for?"

Barging in during the day and even kicking the door down, it can’t be just to hang out.

Xia Weibao then remembered the main matter, "Oh right, where’s that handsome Western guy of yours, the one called Neil? Why don’t I see him anymore?"

Lu Hualiang’s expression remained unchanged, "There are some matters he needs to handle, so he’s away."

The desert needs greening, and the task of environmental protection depends on him.

"Did he offend you and got exiled?"

Her Majesty the Empress was feeling a bit guilty, after all, she didn’t like Neil and deliberately praised him to anger Lu Hualiang, which is probably why he got exiled.

"Do you think I’m the type of person who blurs public and private matters, and would exile someone out of personal interest?"

Xia Weibao, "..."

"There’s just a task concerning the future development of the world assigned to him. Once he’s done, he’ll naturally return."

"Is that so?" Xia Weibao was half-believing, half-doubting, "When will he finish?"

Lu Hualiang’s eyes slowly narrowed, "You really hope he’ll come back?"

Xia Weibao smiled, "Sort of, my Second Sister would probably want him back more."

The vinegar jar of Huang Shang was already teetering.

Xia Chuyan probably wants him back more?

In other words, she wants it too, just not as much as Xia Chuyan.

After getting the answer, Xia Weibao didn’t linger, waving at him, "Hubby, I’m heading off now."

Bang...

The vinegar jar of Huang Shang tipped over...

She came rushing over just to ask when Neil will be back, got the answer, patted her butt, and left.

Not even a word of greeting for him!

Very nice!

When Lu Hualiang went downstairs, Xia Weibao had already left, and his deputy came up, "Master."

"Go buy a bag of seeds, cook them and send them to Neil. When he grows a tree out of them, he can return."

The deputy, "..."

Swallowed hard. Cooked seeds...

Boss Neil, my condolences to you, looks like you’ll be spending your retirement in the desert...

Xia Chuyan was uneasy, pacing back and forth in the living room.

Seeing Xia Weibao come in, she immediately approached, "Fifth Sister, how did it go? What did Summer say?"

Her Majesty the Empress had a mysterious confidence, "Don’t worry, Second Sister, Neil hasn’t been exiled. He’s just gone on a mission."

"A mission?"

"Yes, that’s right. Summer said there’s a task concerning the future development of the world that needs Neil to personally complete. It’s a good thing, indicating that Summer values him."

"Is that so." Xia Chuyan was skeptical. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Of course, Summer told me this personally. How could it be fake? Once he completes the mission, he’ll naturally be back."

Only then did Xia Chuyan breathe a sigh of relief. So, that’s how it is.

Previously, he often went on missions, sometimes not being seen for a whole year.

Many tasks couldn’t be disclosed to the public, otherwise, there would be risks, so various excuses were made.

This time, saying it was exile was probably just a cover.

After all, Summer said it was an important mission, so it can’t be fake.
