Free Web NovelChapter 1782: Chapter 1782: With Him, It’s Enough
If Long Xuanye really searched for her for two thousand years, how could she bear such deep affection?
Her body was sticky and clammy, likely because she broke out in a sweat from the nightmare.
Weary, she got up and went to the bathroom to take a bath.
It was summer, so she used cold water. free𝑤ebnovel.com
To clear her mind, she purposely went downstairs to lug the refrigerator upstairs and dumped all the ice inside it into the bathtub.
After soaking in the ice-cold bath, her muddled thoughts finally began to calm down. fгeewebnovёl.com
Her mind became clear, yet her heart remained unsettled.
Shaking her head, she brushed away the needless worries and guilt that surged up in her mind.
She had no recollection of the things Long Xuanye spoke of.
Perhaps... perhaps he was lying.
That man would stop at nothing to separate her and Lu Hualiang!
Haven’t he done enough things and told enough lies?
To believe even a third of what such a person says is too much.
She slipped on a bathrobe, went out, and picked up the Peach Wood Comb, listlessly brushing her long hair.
Xia Weibao stared dazedly at the comb in her hand, feeling inexplicably warm inside.
This Peach Wood Comb was the token of her and Lu Hualiang’s love.
Before coming to the Xia Family, she intended to take it with her, yet she couldn’t find it no matter what.
But Lu Hualiang had brought it over, back into her hands again.
Looking at the comb that carried the thousand-year emotion between her and Lu Hualiang, her chaotic thoughts seemed to slowly become clear as if trapped within a walled city.
Why should she mind Long Xuanye’s words so much?
Whether true or false, she was Lu Hualiang’s wife now.
That fact would never change.
Why seek trouble, and hurt Lu Hualiang’s heart?
As for Long Xuanye...
Forget it, she didn’t want to think about it.
Having slept earlier, she was now wide awake, sipping a glass of wine on the balcony, gazing at the Peach Forest below.
The evening breeze gently carried the scent of peach blossoms.
Very faint, yet reassuring.
Lost in her thoughts, she was suddenly aware of the light sound of footsteps behind her.
Before she could turn, a warm body pressed against her, strong arms encircling her waist.
The warm body clung to her back, while the familiar male scent enveloped her.
The man’s other hand gently touched her hair, "Why didn’t you come to find me tonight, hmm?"
Since returning to the Xia Family, he’s been very busy, while she took on the rare role of a good wife and mother, always seeking him out each night with tenderness.
Tonight, he waited and waited, but she never came, so he had to come to her.
The hand combing her hair paused for a moment, with a hint of displeasure between his brows, "Why didn’t you dry your hair?"
Sitting outside with wet hair in the breeze, aren’t you afraid of getting a headache?
He lifted her up and placed her in front of the vanity, then picked up the hairdryer and carefully dried her hair with warm air.
Through the mirror, Xia Weibao could see the man’s focused expression as he gently dried her hair.
His actions were light and tender, as if protecting a precious treasure.
This man was always patient and gentle with her.
Xia Weibao remained still, feeling the comfort of his fingertips massaging her scalp.
Softly closing her eyes, this was good enough.
She had him, and that was enough.
After drying her hair, Lu Hualiang put down the hairdryer, then picked up the Peach Wood Comb and gently combed her hair.
She had beautiful hair, black and smooth, untouched by any treatment, with an excellent texture that felt pleasant to the touch.
Since the past life, he’d loved to care for her hair.
In the quiet environment, neither of them spoke, and the warm atmosphere seemed to return to a thousand years ago, when they first met.
