Chapter 140

“Mr. Lu, I’ve heard so much about you. What brings you here?” Director Zhou stretched his hand out for a handshake.

There were a couple of sponsors for this drama, and Tianyu Entertainment was one of them. Thinking about it, Lu Lixing could be counted as one of his investors too.

Lu Lixing looked behind him and fixated his gaze on Ji Qingqing. He briefly responded, “You’re too courteous. I’m here today to visit someone.”

“Visit?” Director Zhou looked behind him. Puzzled, he asked, “Who are you visiting?”

“Ji Qingqing.”

Taken aback, Director Zhou subconsciously asked, “Ji Qingqing?”

Without waiting for his reaction, Lu Lixing walked towards Ji Qingqing.

Both Ji Qingqing and Wen Rou were in the midst of enjoying their meal when a shadow hovered over them. Ji Qingqing raised her head and her gaze turned from being confused to one of astonishment. “Why are you here?”

“To bring you lunch,” Lu Lixing replied.

And Qin Yue who was behind him brought out a lavish spread. One look and she knew that it had been cooked with care, totally different from the filming crew’s packed lunches.

Stares from all directions gathered over and the murmurings continued.

Though Ji Qingqing did not quite believe it, “You specially came here to give me this?” she asked.

Lu Lixing nodded.

“Thanks,” a smile spread across her face.

Then, Ji Qingqing passed him a pair of chopsticks and asked, “Hubby, have you eaten? Even if you’re not eating, just eat some, I can’t finish this on my own.”

Hubby?

Hearing that, Director Zhou who hadn’t walked that far inhaled sharply.

And the staff around them who had been listening nearly choked on their lunches.

——“Life point +1. Current life points are worth 6 hours.”

Lu Lixing took the chopsticks she handed him. He narrowed his eyes and pondered over how he could get her to call him ‘Hubby’ a couple more times. All of a sudden, a voice could be heard in his mind.

——“Considering the issue of fairness, we’ve specially assigned you a daily mission. Please select the following pet names to address your wife Ji Qingqing: Baby, Babe, My dear, Darling. Your life points will increase slightly each time you say them out. The minimum requirement for this task would be to complete it 3 times a day. And the penalty for not completing would be a deduction of 3 life points.”

Lu Lixing froze in place. ‘Ka Cha,’ the chopsticks in his hands were bent out of shape.

“You call this, fair and just?!” he exclaimed.

The system remained silent.

“...Are there any more alternatives?”

——“Yes dear. How about, Precious, Precious Little, Sweetheart, Precious little Qingqing~”

Lu Lixing (thought) he felt a twinge of pain in his chest.

Just how does Ji Qingqing even manage to address him as ‘hubby’ without cringing? He couldn’t fathom it.
