Chapter 1903: Director Lu Learns of the Empress’s Pregnancy (1)
His Majesty.
Xia Weibao’s heart was completely tied to that manor.
Watching the manor grow smaller and smaller until it finally disappeared from sight, her heart ached sourly.
But she didn’t dare show it.
Afraid of angering Long Xuanye.
Right now he looked like a wild beast that could go berserk at any moment; she had to think of the child in her belly.
Long Xuanye was indeed in a foul mood at the moment. He hadn’t expected that last night, when Xia Weibao only slipped out for such a short while, in pitch-black darkness, in such a remote spot, Lu Hualiang could still find her!
And she ran out last night, and he already showed up today—how terrifyingly fast!
He also realized very clearly that Lu Hualiang really wasn’t simple.
Before, with Yang Zixin helping to obstruct him, and with Lu Hualiang ultimately not being the Eastern Overlord, it had been very hard for him to find any clues.
Now Yang Zixin couldn’t even protect himself; there was no one left who could hold Lu Hualiang back.
Looks like he had to be even more careful.
His gaze fell on Xia Weibao, who was admiring the scenery outside the window. What was she thinking?
Had she already guessed?
"What are you thinking about, spacing out like that?" Long Xuanye asked.
Xia Weibao calmly withdrew her gaze, expressionless. "Nothing. Where are we going?"
"To a new place."
"Oh. Why so sudden?"
"Didn’t you already guess?"
Long Xuanye’s tone carried a hint of mockery. She was so smart; how could she not guess.
Xia Weibao’s heart surged—so it really was her His Majesty who had come looking?
But her face stayed very calm. "Lu Hualiang’s come?"
"That’s right."
Xia Weibao’s breath hitched, and she looked out the window again.
She didn’t dare meet Long Xuanye’s eyes, afraid her gaze would betray the excitement in her heart.
"You two just brushed past each other. Do you feel heartbroken?"
Xia Weibao’s heart throbbed with pain; heartbroken was an understatement!
"He really is impressive. You only ran out for a short while yesterday, and he still managed to find you."
And he’d made it over in less than a night—truly unexpected.
Xia Weibao’s heart felt like it was being torn apart; it hurt.
However, Long Xuanye’s words gave her a lot of information.
Last night, when she ran out, Lu Hualiang had already found her.
Her heart trembled lightly. She thought of something.
That night in the study, she’d said she wanted to learn about modern high-tech, and he had sent her a lot of information.
There had been something in there, some global satellite thing, that as long as you were standing outside, you could be monitored and captured on camera!
Xia Weibao suddenly got a bit excited, though her face didn’t show it.
She hadn’t expected they could monitor even in the dark. If she found a chance to go outside in broad daylight, wouldn’t it be even easier for him to find her?
She gently placed her hand on her lower abdomen. Baby, we’ll be able to see Daddy very soon.
However, Long Xuanye mercilessly shattered her beautiful dream.
"Are you thinking that if he can find you once, he can find you a second time?"
Xia Weibao’s expression changed. This man was truly terrifying.
Just how deeply did he understand her? Even if she said nothing, he could guess her thoughts with perfect accuracy!
Long Xuanye smiled wickedly. "Stop dreaming. If he wants to find you, he can talk about it after he walks out of the manor alive first!"
"What do you mean!"
Long Xuanye pinched her face. "What do you think? Dare to steal my woman, and I’ll leave him a big gift!"
Xia Weibao met his vicious eyes head-on and, instead, calmed down.
Long Xuanye raised a brow. "You’re not worried?"
"I trust him."
Her His Majesty was a strong man.
If he fell easily, then he wouldn’t be him.
