Chapter 814: Chapter 814: Director Lu’s Strong Will to Survive

Lu Hualiang’s sleep vanished in an instant, his brows tightly furrowed.

"What’s wrong?"

That tone, she’s unhappy?

"Something happened."

Everything was fine tonight; the three women chatted so much they reached outer space and even left me to sleep in the guest room.

How did she become unhappy all of a sudden?

Xia Weibao shook her head, her voice somewhat muffled.

"Tonight, Mom told me about the past," she paused, "about my biological parents."

She had originally thought that her body was borrowed, so she felt no affection for her biological parents.

But hearing that her parents died in a car accident, her heart ached.

Especially when Zhong Wanshu said she would take her to pay respects, the ache in her heart turned into sorrow.

After all, they were the ones who gave life to this body; by occupying someone else’s body, she also inherited familial affection from it.

The bond of blood was subtle.

Even though she had never met them, it still caused her pain.

Mentioning this made Lu Hualiang’s arms, holding her, tighten.

Gently patting her back, he provided silent comfort.

He had discovered the deaths of his wife’s parents himself and naturally knew the ins and outs of the incident very well.

Xia Weibao was very silent; perhaps deep down, she too yearned for familial love.

Having lived two lifetimes without it, she didn’t know what having parents felt like.

Life, with only love and friendship, is not complete.

"You still have me," Lu Hualiang said softly.

"Mm."

Xia Weibao buried her head in his chest, breathing in his clean and crisp scent.

After a while, she seemed to have adjusted her emotions and looked up at him.

She gazed at him teasingly.

In the darkness, the contours of his face were not clear, only a vague shadow was visible.

"Mom also told me some interesting things, do you want to hear them?"

At this tone, Director Lu immediately had a bad feeling, "I don’t, let’s sleep!"

"Mom said, when you were young, you saw me and almost dropped me when holding me; you complained about my spitting up milk and drooling, and even said, ’I don’t want this wife, whoever wants her can take her.’ Is that true?"

"It’s false!"

The speed of that answer showed Director Lu’s strong will to survive.

He silently gritted his teeth, feeling somewhat resentful towards his own mother for telling her all this!

When Xia Weibao was born, he was already seven years old and naturally remembered the events of that time.

She had just been born, not yet fully grown and wrinkled.

He was fastidious about cleanliness, especially as a child; of course, he’d get angry when a little baby vomited milk on him.

Besides, he didn’t like her back then, and he had no concept of a wife, so it was natural to want to throw her away.

Thinking about it now, he regretted it. If he had known he would fall in love with her, he should have carried her away in his pocket back then and started a nurturing relationship.

How wonderful it would have been to be childhood sweethearts.

If they had loved each other since childhood, she probably would have been his by now, and they might even have had children old enough to "fetch soy sauce."

Then she wouldn’t have met other men, fallen in love with others, and wouldn’t have had to suffer so much.

The more he thought, the more Hualiang regretted it.

Why hadn’t he had the foresight?

There was also something he had never dared to voice.

That was when he found Xia Weibao, his mother had asked him to marry her, but initially, he was very resistant.

Who would be willing to marry a lunatic?

And a stranger, at that.

Thankfully, he married her in the end; otherwise, without his wife, he wouldn’t know whom to cry to.

From this perspective, his mother truly had great foresight.
