NovelEnglish“Wh-what?! Your wife? When did this happen? Why didn’t I know about it?”
“It happened a few days ago.”
“The two of you got married?”
“Yes, we got married.”
“You…” Chen Shuyi was speechless.
He knew exactly what kind of person Lu Lixing was since they were classmates who grew up together. He had never seen him become intimate or close to any woman. How long did he know her before he married her?
“Do you know her?”
Lu Lixing did not answer his question. ‘I came here to pick her up from her. Where is she?”
“You should call her, why are you asking me instead?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I called her, but she didn’t answer. Can you ask the employees about her whereabouts?”
Chen Shuyi felt helpless. He made several phone calls before he received the news that Ji Qingqing was in the conference room on the 18th floor.
“What’s the meeting about?”
“I’m not sure.”
Lu Lixing got up and left.
Chen Shuyi pondered over something for a moment. Then, he decided to take a break from his job and followed Lu Lixing to the 18th floor.
“I apologize, but I didn’t date you for your money. Except for the money we spent on dating, I didn’t even receive a single gift from you. However, the belt you’re currently wearing seemed to be given to you as a gift from me…”
“I don’t want your money; I just want that belt. Take it off and give it back to me!”
“If you don’t agree, then I will continue with my lawsuit against you!”
“What kind of future does an eighteen-line celebrity have?”
“Mr. Gu, I suggest that you should lift your pants first before you discuss that with me.”
Lu Lixing and Chen Shuyi had just arrived in front of the conference room. The door was closed, but they were still able to hear a loud and confident voice from inside the room. Just by the sound of that voice, they could tell that the person speaking was…a fierce person.
“Shaoyu, don’t do this! Don’t be impulsive!”
From the sudden sound, they could tell that the argument had turned physical.
Lu Lixing’s face darkened as he pushed the door open.
The conference room was in a mess.
Gu Shaoyu ignored Shen Weiwei’s dissuasion. His eyes were filled with anger as he suddenly stood up. However, a man quickly pushed Ji Qingqing protectively behind him. The man remained unfazed under Gu Shaoyu’s anger.
“Ji Qingqing, no matter which parvenu you managed to snag, they still won’t be able to save you! I will completely cut off your future in the entertainment industry!”
“Whose future are you going to cut off from the entertainment industry?” Lu Lixing’s voice was not loud, but it was powerful.
Everyone in the room fell silent. They all turned to look at the men at the door.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJi Qingqing turned around and saw that it was Lu Lixing who was at the door.
Ji Qingqing burst into tears at lightning speed and threw herself into Lu Lixing’s arms, “Husband, they’re bullying me!”
Chen Shuyi had seen everything. He watched as the originally arrogant and willful Ji Qingqing turned into a trembling little bird seeking refuge in Lu Lixing’s embrace.
He had an incredulous expression on his face as he looked at the couple. He secretly glanced at Lu Lixing and thought: Brother, could it be that you like this type of woman?
Chen Shuyi was not the only one who was shocked. Shen Weiwei, Gu Shaoyu, Deputy Director Li, and Qin Yue were all shocked.
“P-president…Lu? Ji..Ji…Ji Qingqing…she…”
Ji Qingqing chuckled secretly in her heart. It seemed like she had a slip of tongue and called Lu Lixing “husband” in front of everyone else.
She was done for. When she was in the hospital before, she remembered that she told Lu Lixing that she will never expose their relationship publicly.
She was so immersed in her acting that she overreacted.
Ji Qingqing gritted her teeth and raised her head to look at Lu Lixing. Her eyes were brimming with tears, “My dear, they are bullying me!”
Lu Lixing allowed her to wrap her arms around his waist as she laid her head on his chest. He raised his free hand and stroked her head. In a voice that only the two of them could hear, he said, “Speak clearly.”
