Chapter 627 Ancient Medical Family

Chapter 627: Chapter 627 Ancient Medical Family

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Lu Hualiang dismissed it.

He must have gone mad, to actually consider such unscientific matters.

Upon checking Xia Weibao’s whereabouts, she indeed had gone to shoot a film with Xu Jiayang.

Thinking of her devastated look when she left, it felt as if a huge hand was gripping his heart tightly.

He didn’t want to trouble her, but he couldn’t let go.

After less than a minute of silence, he still decided to go find her.

He really couldn’t, just let go like this.

However, no sooner had he stood up than Yang Li’s phone call came in.

"Master, there’s been trouble in Country M."

"What happened?"

Hualiang’s face turned solemn. Hadn’t he already asked Yang Jian to return, and yet two people couldn’t handle it?

Over the phone, Yang Li’s voice was anxious, "We were about to regain that territory, but I don’t know what happened. The other side seems to have hired experts to help them, many of our brothers have gone crazy, I suspect it’s the people from the Ancient Medical Family."

Lu Hualiang’s expression changed, the Ancient Medical Family!

That powerful yet mysterious family that had risen above all other noble families, why would they get involved in a turf war!

"Master, I can’t explain the details, you’d better come over."

Lu Hualiang’s lips tightened, and the lines of his chin tautened.

He glanced at the car keys in his hand, then thought of Xia Weibao’s pained expression when she left; still, he headed to Country M.

If it were just a patch of land, he would choose her without hesitation.

But those were brothers who had gone through life and death with him. If they really encountered someone from the Ancient Medical Family, the odds were not good.

He couldn’t let them take that risk!

It’s just as well to give her some time to cool off.

Xia Weibao felt uneasy all day long, sitting on the bed in her hotel room at night, staring blankly at the door.

She was afraid Lu Hualiang would come looking for her.

However, by twelve o’clock, there was still no knock at the door.

She kept waiting until two in the morning, but still no one came.

Having spoken so definitively today, he should... have let go by now.

He finally was willing to let go, and despite it being a reason for happiness, her heart couldn’t help but taste the bitterness.

She looked up at the ceiling, trying not to let the tears in her eyes fall.

Her heart really ached.

It’s okay, it will be better in a few days.

This is the best outcome.

For both her and him.

A month later, the film shooting was finished, and the crew secretly flew back to the capital by plane.

To avoid being secretly photographed by reporters at the airport, they left through the staff corridor.

Stepping out of the airport and seeing the sky so blue it was like washed by water, Xia Weibao felt dazed.

Memories of what she and Lu Hualiang had experienced in this city surfaced, and her heart still ached.

But she could slowly let go now.

Some say time can dull all pain, and there is truth to that.

Those first two days were truly hard to endure; she couldn’t even continue filming and was scolded by Xu Jiayang several times.

Yet, slowly, she was able to control her emotions.

A little while longer, and perhaps she would be able to let go completely, right?

What about him, though? He hadn’t come to find her in a month; had he also... moved on?

At that thought, her heart ached anew.

She took a deep breath, looking around somewhat blankly.

People were coming and going, and she still didn’t fit in.

Suddenly feeling lost, she didn’t know where to go.

Returning to Lu Garden was definitely not an option; Xia Shi was renting a place, which would be inconvenient to visit.

In the end, she made a phone call to Zhuang Xuejun and decided to crash at her place for a few days.
