“Do you feel better now?”
Ji Qingqing became flustered when he had suddenly entered the room. She blushed when she remembered the intimate interaction they had in the car, “I feel much better.”
“That’s good. There is something I want to discuss with you.”
Lu Lixing took off his suit jacket, revealing the white button-down shirt underneath. His tie was meticulously tied around his throat; his neat pants made his legs appear even longer than it actually was. He stood in front of her in a relaxed manner. Lu Lixing was so handsome that it was impossible for people to take their eyes off of him.
“What’s the matter?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Grandpa asked me to discuss with you and set up a date where I will officially meet with your parents, “Lu Lixing paused, “I know that artists working in the entertainment industry don’t like to disclose their marital status, so if you’re unwilling to disclose our marriage, then we can just get married late.”
“Meet my parents? Marriage? Why so soon?”
Lu Lixing looked at her deeply and asked, “Are you not willing?”
Ji Qingqing shook her head.
She had just transmigrated here. She didn’t even know the situation regarding the original body’s owner’s family. How can she bring Lu Lixing to meet her “parents” when she hadn’t even seen them yet?
She didn’t have the courage to bring him home without any preparations.
There weren’t many details about Ji Qingqing’s family in the . She vaguely remembered that Ji Qingqing came from an ordinary family, but her family seemed to owe a debt. Ji Qingqing worked very hard in the entertainment industry and sent all the money she earned back home. However, the money was not enough to pay back the debt.
The expectation beneath his eyes instantly disappeared and his facial muscles were stretched taut. His tone suddenly turned chilly, “Why are you unwilling?”
The original owner of the body’s family was giving Ji Qingqing a headache. She wasn’t able to clearly explain her sentiments, so she said, “My family is a little complicated. I will visit my family on another day and…have a chat with my parents first,” she looked at Lu Lixing, “I have been single for very long, so it’s not appropriate for me to suddenly bring you back home!”
Lu Lixing froze for a moment, “Is that true?”
“We can’t be the only ones who prepare for this. I have to return home first and tell my parents about us, so they can prepare too.”
Lu Lixing raised an eyebrow, “Okay. You will arrange this then.”
Ji Qingqing nodded her head absentmindedly.
She took out her phone and hesitated as her finger hovered over the contact named [Mom]. Even after hesitating for a while, she was still unable to call her.

But what Lu Lixing said was correct, they will have to meet her parents sooner or later.
Ji Qingqing finally summoned enough courage to call her mother when her phone suddenly began to ring.
Caller ID: Mom.
Ji Qingqing subconsciously answered the phone.
“Hello, Qingqing, it’s mom.”
“…mom, why did you call me?”
“I called you because I have something to discuss with you!” Mother Ji didn’t notice the panic behind Ji Qingqing’s voice. She smiled and said, “Look, how long had it been since you sent money home? Your younger brother and younger sister need money to attend university. Your father’s old habits had returned. Also, the wall in the living room is leaking. I called an interior decoration and design company to take a look at the wall. Did you know what he said? He said that he will have to take down the entire wall to repair it! And what’s more, he’s asking for an enormous price for just fixing a wall! Sigh…it’s all me and your father’s fault for being useless.”
“Okay, I will send you the money later.”
Mother Ji sounded even happier, “Okay then, I will wait for you to transfer the money over. Oh, there is another thing. Do you have time tomorrow? You have visited in a long time, why don’t you come home for lunch tomorrow? The whole family can have lunch together.”
