Chapter 40 - “Let’s… sleep together for a night?” (4)
Ji Qingqing felt as if she was tasting the sweetness of honey.
This feeling of being protected, she had never experienced it before.
Although Lu Lixing didn't have long to live, she was already thoroughly satisfied that he would protect her like this while he was still alive.
Lu Liting looked at Lu Lixing with a gloomy face. "Older brother, how can you trust her so much? You barely know her. There's already plenty of public commentary about this woman. You won't even have to try hard to find out what kind of person she is. Who doesn't know that your health is bad? Any discerning person can see she’s using this opportunity to marry you! She's only marrying you for your money! Why are you treating her like she's something precious?"
Lu Lixing gave him in an understated look. "I know she's doing this for money. So what? I have money."

"Does the Lu family have anything to do with you right now? Even if I really die, Qingqing will be one of the people inheriting my wealth!"
Lu Liting was speechless.
"Alright, there's no need to say anymore. Your health isn't good. You should go back upstairs and rest." Ji Qingqing knew these two brothers didn't have a good relationship, but she hadn't known they would oppose each other with equal harshness. She was worried that bastard Lu Liting would anger his older brother into passing out, so she forcefully pulled Lu Lixing towards his room.
Lu Lixing didn't plan on talking with Lu Liting any longer. He didn't have much affection for this younger brother that had left home several years ago. Saying a few words of warning to him was enough. He went back upstarts with Qingqing lending an arm to support him.
Ji Qingqing whispered, "I don't know how to repay your help."
Lu Lixing nochantly answered, "No need."
Ji Qingqing smiled. Lu Lixing was actually quite an upstanding person.
As the curtain of darkness gradually descended, the villa fell into a tranquil night.
The hour hand on wall clock turned to eleven.
Lu Lixing finished reading the last of the documents that had piled up during his recovery period at the hospital. He was now caught up on the progress of the company's several important projects.
There was only one thing he was concerned about. How could he convince his grandfather to let him go resume working at the office?
With modern medical equipment saying that his organs were on the verge of failure, how could he get his grandfather to agree for him to go back to work?
-- "Imminent death warning: before midnight, please get into bed with your wife, Ji Qingqing, and sleep together."
Lu Lixing slightly narrowed his eyes. "Little A, do you have a way to make my body's condition look normal when examined by medical equipment?"
-- "I do. If you complete your task, you'll get a reward."
Lu Lixing contemplated for a long time before standing up and walking out of his room.
However, right after he reached the doorway, he seemed to have realized something. He turned his head and looked at his neatly made bed. Then, he walked to his desk, picked up a glass of water, expressionlessly walked to his bed, and poured out the entire glass of water on his bed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe water quickly soaked through the sheets, and there was a large wet spot on the bed.
When Lu Lixing reached Ji Qingqing's door, Ji Qingqing had finished washing up and was about to go to bed. She heard the sound of slow and heavy knocking at her.
Opening the door to take a look, she saw Lu Lixing.
"Mr. Lu? Why are you here?" Why was a seriously ill person walking around in the middle of the night? Was he trying to hasten his death?
Lu Lixing stood outside her room and seriously looked at her.
The two people looked at each other.
Ten seconds later, Lu Lixing said, "You said you want to repay me earlier. Does it still count?"
"... Yes, of course."
“Let’s… sleep together for a night?”
Silence fell.
After another ten seconds later...
*Bang*
She slammed the door shut in Lu Lixing’s face.
