Chapter 151

“We are husband and wife.”

“And so?”

“Since you call me ‘hubby’, why can’t I also call you...?”

Ji Qingqing admitted defeat.

“Also, from now on I will continue to call you this manner, and it will only be towards you.”

Ji Qingqing: “...” So after contracting that ‘like to hear people call him “hubby”’ disease, Lu Lixing contracted another ‘like to call other people “baby”’ disease?

Ji Qingqing shook her head.

“You’re not willing?”

“Yes!”

Lu Lixing remained unruffled. “To tell you the truth, Grandfather is already suspicious of our relationship.”

Alarmed, Ji Qingqing asked, “When did that happen!”

“During the past two days. If not, why would I come all the way here, you think?” Lu Lixing looked at her meaningfully, and lied through his teeth. “You haven’t forgotten our earlier agreement, right? To make Grandpa happy and let him spend his remaining years in comfort.”

Lu Lixing’s heart followed and tightened too.

Tears are a woman’s weapon. In the past Lu Lixing would have never thought so, but now, he gazed deeply at Ji Qingqing whose eyes were filled with tears. Even though he knew that the tears weren’t because of him, an inexplicable emotion gnawed at his heart, and it continued to grow, making him unsettled for no reason.

When Ji Qingqing gazed at Lu Lixing, she let out a choked sob. She was supposed to be at the peak of her emotions; however, she had no strength to maintain it. As she stared at him sadly, the depths of her eyes filled with desolation and unwillingness. Clenching her fist, she gritted her teeth and threw away all her remaining pride and dignity. In an forlorn manner she cried out, “But even so, I still love you Lu Lixing...”

As the devastation and pain clouded her face, Lu Lixing blurted out. “I also love you.”

——“Received a response for the display of affection, life point +1. Current life points are worth 9 hours.”

She looked at Lu Lixing through her teary eyes and sniffled. “We are in the middle of rehearsing... can’t you be more serious?”

Lu Lixing’s brows knitted. There was a moment of silence. Then, he handed her a piece of tissue. “You don’t need to rehearse anymore, your acting is really good.”

“Really?”

“Why would I even lie to you?”

“By lying, you won’t need to rehearse with me anymore.”

“...I really feel that your acting was good.”
