Chapter 317

Ji Chengxi and Ji Chengyu communicated silently with their eyes as they pointed at Ji Qingqing.

Ji Chengxi signaled her. What do we do?

Ji Chengyu shot him a blank look.

Ji Chengxi made a phone call gesture. Should I call my brother-in-law?

As if right on time, the phone on the side suddenly vibrated.

Ji Chengyu picked it up and saw that it was a call from Lu Lixing.

She didn’t answer and let it ring for a while. After it hung up, she noticed that there were over fifty missed calls shown on the display.

Five minutes later, the phone rang again.

“Who is it?” Ji Chengxi looked over and saw that it was Lu Lixing. Before Ji Chengyu could hang up the phone, he quickly snatched the phone away and answered the phone.

“Hello? Brother-in-law, it’s Ji Chengxi. What’s the matter?”

When Ji Chengyu saw Ji Chengxi’s fawning appearance, she kicked him in the leg. Ji Chengxi stumbled and fell, then turned to face his sister with a fierce look.

Lu Lixing on the other end of the phone was surprised, “Ji Chengxi? Where’s your sister? Please pass the phone over to her.”

“My sister is here, but... she doesn’t look very good... But don’t worry, I’ll take care of her! I’m curious though, what happened between you and my sister?”

Lu Lixing remained silent.

The noise jolted Ji Qingqing awake. She tiredly asked Ji Chengxi, “Who is it? Is it... Lu Lixing?”

Ji Chengxi nodded his head.

“However, even without considering Lu Lixing’s reputation, if I’m correct, his character is also good. Perhaps there’s just a misunderstanding between the two of them.”

“And even though Ji Qingqing’s taste in men hasn’t been great these past few years, I have to admit that Lu Lixing is different from her previous men. I have confidence in him.”

“Why do you always call Jie ‘Ji Qingqing’? She’s your sister.”

Ji Chengyu turned to look at him coldly.

Ji Chengxi raised his hands in surrender. “All right, all right. You can call her whatever you want, I’ll take my sister to the room to rest.”

Drunk people are definitely heavy and really hard to carry.

Ji Chengxi had to use all of his strength to carry Ji Qingqing to the room.

Ji Qingqing had a hard time sleeping that night.

She dreamed vaguely all night. At first, she dreamt that Lu Lixing was being cruel to her. Lu Lixing kept on saying that he long wanted to abandon her and in the dream, he said that he was just deceiving her. Now that he was better, he didn’t need her anymore.

The scene quickly changed. Next, she dreamt of the night when Lu Lixing proposed to her. Lu Lixing’s eyes were full of warmth and affection as he confessed to her and said that he would love her for a lifetime.

Afterward, she dreamt of the first time she met Lu Lixing. Lu Lixing was lying on the bed, critically ill. She watched him struggling to breathe on the bed. His heart monitor stopped, but unlike the day when she first saw him, he suddenly didn’t wake up.

The piercing sound of the heart monitor made Ji Qingqing feel like her ears were about to rupture.

She woke up abruptly from her dream. Her whole body was drenched in sweat and her heart was pounding very fast. The scene of Lu Lixing’s face turning blue and gray without any signs of life kept flashing in her mind.

Ji Qingqing clenched the blanket tightly and took a deep breath. Her face was full of fear and panic.

Luckily, it was just a dream.
