Chapter 223

“You young people are always busying yourselves with work.” At the lakeside, Old Lu had reeled in a big fish. “Lixing too. Two days ago, I told him to rest for two days but he didn’t listen and spent the whole day working. Qingqing ah, if you have the time go drag him to rest for two days. When the company wasn’t stable, he gave that as a reason to monitor it at every moment. Now that it has stabilized, he’s still not around.”

Ji Qingqing smiled. “Grandpa, don’t worry, I will.”

“Come, come, come, the fish has been hooked. Tonight Aunt Pei will be making steamed fish for us to eat.”

Aunt Pei got up and looked at the fish. “Ok, let’s see... Oh my, Old Master, this fish is lively. How fresh!” She glanced at the time. “It’s 5 pm. Old Master, I’ll go first to prepare dinner. Also, you should stop fishing. Go rest.”

“Ok. I’ll rest, I’ll rest.”

Ji Qingqing quickly helped Old Lu up.

Meanwhile, Aunt Pei carried the bamboo basket with the fish into the villa.T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m

“Qingqing ah, Grandpa is giving you a mission. Are you able to do it?”

Ji Qingqing helped Old Lu carry his fishing rod. “What is it?”

“Li Lixing, this kid, his feathers have hardened; now he doesn’t listen to me and I’m unable to convince him. How about this? See if you have any ideas that can bring him outdoors to take a walk.”

“Bring him outside to take a walk?”

TL note: ‘take a walk’ implies the following: have a momentary change of pace/lifestyle/scenery or enjoy the outside which is not related to work by doing leisure activities

Lu Lixing raised his eyebrows. “Two things?”

“First, why did you lie to me?”

Hearing her words, Lu Lixing started to feel a little sheepish but he still put up a composed front. “When did I lie to you?”

“You said that Aunt Pei took care of a dog who is called ‘Baby’, but today, Aunt Pei told me that Si Si is her first dog. How are you going to explain this?”

Lu Lixing answered in surprise, “She didn’t take care of them before? A long time must have passed so I remembered wrongly.”

“But in the filming city, you said with certainty that...”

Lu Lixing didn’t dare to continue this topic with her and interrupted her, “What’s the second thing?”

The first matter wasn’t especially important so she turned her mind to the second one.

Compared to the first matter, the second matter was still more important.

Ji Qingqing’s brow knitted. “As for the second matter... Today brother Qin contacted me. He said that you called him personally and agreed to let me participate in the program?”

Lu Lixing nodded. “That’s right.”
