Chapter 2185: Chapter 2093: Love Has Taken Root, Part 4

The night wind blew, but couldn’t scatter the tear stains on her face.

Confused and helpless, like an abandoned child.

Homeless, with only wandering and drifting.

If she had never been lively, she wouldn’t know what loneliness is.

At this moment, she stood by the deserted riverside, gazing at the pitch-black night, feeling the chill of the wind, reminiscing about the past with him. An indescribable loneliness surged in her heart.

Her throat felt like it was blocked by something, her nose sore, gazing blankly around, lost and helpless.

"Where are you..."

When she opened her mouth, she realized her voice was incredibly hoarse, carrying a tinge of desolation.

"I’m here."

A familiar voice came from behind, and Xia Weibao turned around abruptly.

The moment she saw the familiar figure behind her, her previously gloomy face lit up as if a lamp was turned on, illuminating her entire being.

She lunged into his arms, tightly embracing him.

Her head buried in his chest, tears instantly gushing out, "Where did you go? I thought you left. Are you going to abandon me, sob, you’re a liar, a big liar!"

Panic-stricken tears burned his skin, and he held her tightly, heart aching.

He kissed her hair lovingly, "I’m sorry."

Xia Weibao sobbed, releasing all the previous confusion and fear through her tears.

Bastard!

Leaving for so long, making her search endlessly, making her think... he had left.

Raising her tear-stained face, Xia Weibao looked at him with a trace of resentment, "Where did you go? I’ve been looking for you all day."

Lu Hualiang’s heart tensed, a pang of sorrow welling inside.

He raised his hand to cup her face, gently wiping away her tear stains with his thumb; he had made her cry.

"Sorry, I ran into an acquaintance. There were some matters to handle, and I lost track of time."

The tone was extremely heavy, like his heart at this moment.

The situation in the Imperial Court is becoming increasingly dire; he must return.

Only...

He looked obscurely at the woman before him.

Baby, will you come with me?

Xia Weibao’s eyes shimmered, having just shed tears, clear as a spring, so beautiful, so... alluring.

Lu Hualiang’s heart stirred, and he slowly bent down.

The cold touched the gentle, making Xia Weibao froze for a moment, her body rigid like wood.

This time, she didn’t resist.

The previously panicked heart seemed to slowly calm down under such comfort.

She gently closed her eyes, letting the man do as he pleased.

Feeling her cooperation, Lu Hualiang’s actions became more tender, like flowing water, pouring a lifetime of deep affection.

Two days later was the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch selection competition, Xia Weibao noticed that these past two days Lu Hualiang was preoccupied and frequently disappeared.

But it seemed he worried she wouldn’t find him again, so each disappearance wouldn’t exceed one Shichen, and he would return soon.

When he returned, he would bring her some delicious food, though she didn’t know where he stole it from, but it wasn’t poisonous.

She asked him several times what he was doing, and he always vaguely said he encountered an acquaintance.

Such abnormality made her mood increasingly heavy, always feeling that something was about to happen, and she felt suffocated and uncomfortable.

There was a premonition in the air, they... were soon to part.

With such heaviness, the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch selection competition arrived as scheduled, yet Xia Weibao no longer had her usual anticipation.

Early in the morning, Lu Hualiang disappeared again.

Today was her competition day, why didn’t he come to cheer her on?

As the opening ceremony of the competition was about to begin, Lu Hualiang still hadn’t returned.
