"What’s with that expression on your face." Zhong Wanshu glanced at her and placed the book in her hand on the chair next to her. Her movements were so gentle and pleasing to the eye. It was clear that she was a true noble lady, with impeccable manners. "Mom, you’re so beautiful, you took my breath away." Zhong Wanshu chuckled, "Look at you, acting like you’ve never seen the world. You’re prettier than my daughter-in-law, aren’t you." Xia Weibao was taken aback for a moment, only realizing that Zhong Wanshu was complimenting her after reacting, and her cheeks instantly flushed. To be honest, she couldn’t guarantee that she’d be able to maintain herself at Zhong Wanshu’s age. Zhong Wanshu waved at Xia Weibao, signaling her to come over. Once Xia Weibao sat down, Zhong Wanshu took her hand and placed it in her own palm, then gently patted the back of her hand. "Baby, the fact that Shanshan and I can be cured is all thanks to you." She knew very well that she owed her current well-being entirely to Xia Weibao. Even the fact that her facial skin could recover to this extent was not due to the grace of time, but rather the miraculous effects of Xia Weibao’s ointment! This immense gratitude cannot be repaid. Xia Weibao was a bit uncomfortable with this sentimental moment, not knowing what to say for a while. She sat there awkwardly. Zhong Wanshu seemed to notice her discomfort, smiled, and didn’t continue the topic. As long as Xia Weibao’s benevolence towards the Lu Family is remembered in their hearts, it’s enough. She felt that the two things she was most proud of in her life were giving birth to such an outstanding son like Lu Hualiang, and the arranged marriage settled when Xia Weibao hadn’t even been born. Otherwise, where could she find such a good daughter-in-law? "Why did you come here alone? Where’s Xiao Liang?" The source of thɪs content is 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝓷𝓮𝓽 Seeing that Zhong Wanshu took the initiative to change the subject, Xia Weibao sighed with relief, "He went to work." Zhong Wanshu was displeased, "Is work more important than having a wife? How could he let you come all this way alone? Is he neglecting you because he’s busy with work? I will talk to him about this later." She knew her son’s character very well; when working, he even forgets to eat. In the past, it was fine when he was alone and she was sick, unable to care for him. But now it’s different; he has a wife, yet he still works relentlessly. Zhong Wanshu was thinking about how to stand up for her daughter-in-law, but she didn’t expect Xia Weibao’s expression to change. Having Lu Hualiang spend more time with her? Mom, are you sure you’re not trying to kill me by returning good with ill? Seeing her change expression, Zhong Wanshu was puzzled, "What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Her Majesty the Empress was so startled she almost stuttered, showing how intimidating Director Lu was. Not knowing how to respond to this general concern, Xia Weibao simply played dead. She lowered her head to flip through the book Zhong Wanshu had just been reading. This movement revealed a small section of her neck, along with the small hickeys on it. She purposely chose a turtleneck sweater today to cover up the traces of last night’s beastly man. Seeing those red kiss marks, Zhong Wanshu was momentarily stunned, then understood why Xia Weibao had changed her expression just now... Alright, it seems she doesn’t need to worry about this young couple’s issues. Her adorable little grandson probably won’t take long to arrive either. The two of them chatted idly for a while, and Xia Weibao helped Zhong Wanshu check her body condition. Although she had lost weight and regained her figure, it happened too quickly, especially in the past two months, resulting in extreme thinness! She was even thinner than Lu Huashan at her thinnest, so her health was somewhat lacking, requiring some time to recuperate.
