Chapter 4: Recognizing by the Look in Their Eyes, They're Not to be Messed With

I'm back!

This body is no longer the weak and helpless actress Xia Weibao, but rather, she is now the Empress, the one who holds sway over the court and the people!

A sneeze from her could make the kingdom tremble – the Mother of the Nation!

Since the law cannot punish those who caused Xia Weibao's death,

then she will seek justice for her!

And take responsibility for her new life!

After sending out the post on Weibo, she closed her laptop, only to hear the sound of the bathroom door opening.

Xia Weibao looked up to see Lu Hualiang walking out in a black silk bathrobe.

The robe was loosely tied at the waist, revealing a muscular chest and the hints of a firm abdomen.

His hair was still wet, droplets of water trailed down his neck, such temptation...

Xia Weibao felt her heart thudding uncontrollably, she swallowed hard, then forcibly turned her gaze away.

She chanted to herself three times: "Form is void, void is form."

What a sin!

She never expected the Dog Emperor to be more striking in a bathrobe than in his Dragon Robe.

One sexy, the other ascetic.

She could feel her lust stirring!

When Lu Hualiang turned around after drying his hair, he met her infatuated gaze.

His eyes instantly turned cold, filled with disdain and irritation.

You're good at pretending, aren't you? Showing your true colors so soon.

He suddenly walked to the bed, leaned over close to her face, and his deep, cold eyes drew nearer.

The handsome face so close made Xia Weibao's heart race.

That face, no matter how many years she looked at it, still made her heart flutter.

Back then, it was this face that ensnared her soul, leading her, all aflutter, into the Palace.

From then on, once she entered the Palace Gate deep as the sea, her days were filled with nothing but serving the bedchamber.

Lu Hualiang's face was very close, his warm breath scattering across her face, as if the next second, he would kiss her.

This threw Xia Weibao into panic. Stay steady, don't be tempted by a handsome face again.

Remembering the aches and cramps of her past life, Xia Weibao, you must keep calm!

She punched herself hard in the chest, using brute force to suppress the riotous heartbeat of her traitorous heart!

Xia Weibao turned her head, avoiding Lu Hualiang's penetrating gaze.

But she hadn't expected that Lu Hualiang was already so close that, in dodging away, his lips brushed past hers.

Both were stunned for a moment.

An electric tingling sensation spread from their lips, sweet and numbing.

Accompanied by the erratic heartbeat of one of them, though it was unclear whose.

Lu Hualiang was unhappy seeing her pretend to be innocent, and only wanted to tempt her into revealing her true self.

He hadn't expected the accident to happen, and he was stunned.

So soft...

Gazing at her blushing profile, her skin so flawless that even at such close range, not a single pore was visible, only the delicate fuzz that seemed so soft and tender...

Suddenly, he felt his throat go dry and his fingers itched to touch her.

Damn!

Lu Hualiang abruptly stood up, and only then did he realize his breath was shaky.

No wonder she's known in the entertainment world as a seductress with deep skills—she almost got the better of him!

"Xia Weibao, you'd better behave yourself as Mrs. Lu for one year and not entertain any other ideas, otherwise I'll make your death a miserable one,"

Having said that, he turned and didn't give her another glance.

Xia Weibao, who was already flustered, breathed a sigh of relief.

O heavens!

Is this man really the Dog Emperor, or is he more fatal than the Dog Emperor himself?

So handsome that her legs went weak.

Just as she was thinking this, she saw Lu Hualiang move to the other side of the bed and sit down.

"What are you doing!"

Xia Weibao exclaimed in alarm, resolute in her refusal to serve in the bedchamber!

Lu Hualiang was still irritable from his own lapse in composure. Upon hearing her, his eyes narrowed dangerously, his gaze sharp.

Meeting such a pair of deep, cold eyes, Xia Weibao instantly lost her nerve.

She knew from his look, he was someone she couldn't afford to provoke...
