Chapter 223: Chapter 223: Pick-Up Techniques So Slick You Won’t Believe It

Just then, Yang Li’s call came through.

“Madam, the matter on the internet has been settled; you don’t have to worry about it,”

Xia Weibao opened her eyes slightly, “Did you take care of Lin Siqian’s issue?”

“Not me, but the master,” Yang Li said, beginning to boast, “Madam, let me tell you, the master has really put his heart into this matter…”

Then he went on and on, greatly exaggerating the story, almost portraying Lu Hualiang as having shed his blood and braved all dangers for Xia Weibao.

The more exaggerated the description, the singular goal remained: to make Xia Weibao feel guilty.

To let her know how much Lu Hualiang had fretted over her issue, to the point he was practically sprouting white hairs.

Xia Weibao, “…”

Actually, she could have solved it herself without his intervention.

And it wouldn’t have been such a hassle to handle on her own; she could’ve simply asked Third Chicken to look into it.

However, she was one step too late, Lu Hualiang had acted first, and now she owed him a favor.

How did she feel about it at this moment?

It was like she had prepared her army, ready to go into battle and make her mark, when suddenly a big boss drops in and defeats the enemy in a few quick strokes, then speaks in the tone of a savior, saying, “I’ve already taken care of your enemy for you, come and thank me.”

She inwardly cursed her luck!

Lu Hualiang, why the meddling? Why step into my affairs uninvited, causing me to owe a favor for no reason!

Her Majesty the Empress was a person who recognized and repaid kindness. Though Lu Hualiang’s unnecessary meddling irritated her, she had to return the favor.

So, she said with a smile, “Please thank Director Lu for me.”

“Madam, for such a great favor; it is more sincere for you to thank him in person.”

Xia Weibao, “…”

“All right, I’ll personally thank him when I return tonight.”

Her face was all smiles, but inwardly she was swearing!

What major favor? He was plainly sticking his nose where it didn’t belong!

She was so annoyed, yet she still had to keep smiling.

Having completed his mission, Yang Li pushed open the door to the CEO’s office, “Master, it’s been taken care of.”

“Hmm.”

Lu Hualiang was intently staring at the computer screen, not even lifting his head as he answered.

Seeing that he was busy, Yang Li tactfully backed out of the room.

He felt immensely satisfied deep down. Master Ah, you’re finally getting the hang of it, finally not blundering anymore.

You knew to act before the Madam and then take the credit.

And after doing a good deed, not only do you make it known but also call to report it, in case the Madam plays dead.

If charisma isn’t enough, compensate with intellect. Master, your ways of wooing are quite clever!

Not in vain did he worry like an anxious mother.

In the office, Lu Hualiang replayed the video of Xia Weibao singing over and over again.

Suddenly, he hit pause; the screen froze at the moment Xia Weibao was crying.

This was the second time she’d cried.

The first time was during her dance to “Gentle as Water.”

For some reason, whenever he saw her engulfed in sorrow, his heart felt as if it were being tightly gripped by something.

He so longed to pull her into his embrace, wipe away her tears, and soothe her sorrow.

Why did she display such a sorrowful expression?

At that time, who was she missing?

“Facing each other with a glance, threads of affection tied a marriage fate; that time I held a wine at Jiulin late at night, inviting the moon to talk about the passing years…”

Her ethereal singing seemed still to echo in his ears, Lu Hualiang felt a momentary daze, as if a face flickered before his eyes…
