My Wife is My Life! - Chapter 330

When Ji Qingqing woke up the next morning, it was already bright outside. But the curtains in front of the window were tightly closed and nothing could be seen outside.

She was half awake and tired when she vaguely noticed a figure wearing a shirt in front of the bed. When he noticed her wake up, he seemed to have said something to her in a low voice as he kissed her cheek.

Mhmmm… it’s itchy.

Ji Qingqing rubbed her brows and made an impatient hum with her hoarse voice. She rolled over to the other side and went back to sleep.

Lu Lixing, who sat at the bedside, tenderly smiled and left the room quietly.

After napping again for quite a bit, she finally woke up again.

How long had I slept?

The sun outside was already shining through the cracks in the curtains, which was a bit dazzling to the eyes.

The moment she sat up, a wave of pain flooded her body, similar to the feeling of being run over by a car. Her neck, arms, and chest were mottled with many marks, reminding her of how crazy they were last night.

She timidly opened the blanket and quietly took a look at her body.

It was a horrible sight to see.

She yanked the blanket back violently and the memories of last night rushed to her at once.

“So tired…”

“It hurts…”

“Don’t… don’t want it anymore…”

With a blank expression, she looked at the ceiling. Her neck gradually turned red all the way to her ears as she then buried her face in the blanket and wailed. Her throat was sore.

What the hell were the words I recklessly said last night?!

The words she couldn’t bring herself to say normally… she said them all last night while being teased by Lu Lixing.

Ah! It’s so embarrassing.

As expected, no matter how well-dressed and dignified a man may look on the surface, once he takes off his clothes, he’s still a beast.

Lu Lixing is a beast with no self-control!

He promised he wouldn’t do it again, but when he took her to take a bath, he…

No credit!

Ji Qingqing gritted her teeth tightly and got up, her movements too big and her body stiff. The discomfort in her lower body made her gasp in pain, but she held it back and slowly walked to the bathroom, washing up before sitting at the vanity to cover the marks on her neck with foundation.

On such a hot day, she wouldn’t even dare to leave the room without covering them up. She ended up using half the bottle of foundation just to cover the marks on her neck and arms. After checking repeatedly, she was finally satisfied and went downstairs.

Grandpa Lu and Lu Lixing were sitting on the sofa, seeming to be talking about something seriously. She slowly walked into the living room and said to Grandpa Lu, “Grandpa, sorry for getting up so late.”

Grandpa Lu looked her over and asked, “What’s wrong with your voice? Are you sick?”

Ji Qingqing’s smile stiffened on her lips. She hurriedly smiled and explained, “My voice was hoarse from shouting yesterday.”

After saying that, she was momentarily stunned and her face turned red again. Her explanation seemed to get worse the more she explained.

Grandpa Lu nodded his head. “It’s understandable since yesterday you were shocked. Take your time now to have a good rest. Just stay at home for the next two days and take this as an opportunity to prepare for your wedding with me.”

While Grandpa Lu was speaking, Lu Lixing stood up and helped Ji Qingqing sit on the sofa, asking about her condition with his gaze. But she glared back at him.

Seeing the two of them exchanging looks, Grandpa Lu coughed quietly.

“Qingqing, are you listening to me?”

Ji Qingqing regained her senses and nodded quickly. “Yes, I’m listening. Grandfather, don’t worry, I’ll stay at home and take care of you these two days.”

Grandpa Lu then turned his gaze to Lu Lixing and said, “Lixing, if there’s not much going on with your company, come back earlier. Marriage isn’t just a matter concerning me and Qingqing. How can a man like you leave everything to your wife?”

“No, no, no,” Jì Qingqing hastened to say. “His company is busy. As a man, his career is important, I can understand. As for the wedding, he doesn’t have to worry about it. After all, aren’t you and Aunt Pei here to help me look after things? I think that’s enough.”

As the old saying goes, ‘You’ll know the flavor once you taste the marrow.*’

*T/N:  In this case, “” (shí suǐ zhī wèi) means that you’ll further know someone’s true essence or personality when you spend a long time with them.

She really didn’t want to spend every night like how newlyweds did, it was way too exhausting.

“A man is better busy,” Lu Lixing whispered to her. Suddenly, her ears felt hot.

“By the way, the police had investigated the matter which happened yesterday and the suspect has been confirmed to be a mental patient. The police also recorded a confession from Shen Weiwei. She admitted that she did mention you to the suspect in the elevator that day, but she didn’t expect the suspect to do such a thing like that to you.”

Lu Lixing’s brows and eyes were sunken slightly. He had a dangerous and solemn expression on his face. “According to the police, the case has nothing to do with Shen Weiwei.”

Ji Qingqing nodded her head.

This has nothing to do with Shén Weiwei, of course.

Rushing footsteps were heard outside the door, followed by Aunt Pei’s voice shouting, “Second Young Master has come back.”

Lu Liting walked in, with sweat still on his head, panting. He quickly strode into the living room and dazedly stared at Ji Qingqing.

Grandpa Lu furrowed his brows, his face full of annoyance. “What’s the hurry for? Go wash your face first.”

Lu Liting kept his eyes fixed on Ji Qingqing for a while, but due to the sharp gaze of Lu Lixing by his side, he had to withdraw his gaze.

“I heard that you were kidnapped yesterday?”

Ji Qingqing did not expect him to ask about this, but he probably heard about it quickly due to Shen Weiwei’s involvement in this matter.

So she met his gaze with ease and smiled. “Thanks to Lixing who saved me, I’m okay.”

Lu Liting seemed to be slightly stunned due to her response. It took a while for him to force out a smile. “It’s good as long as you’re okay…”

Grandpa Lu asked him, “Isn’t your company still in the developmental stages? Don’t you still have many things to do? Why did you come back today?”

“Actually… I’m not that busy.”

Lu Lixing slightly lowered his eyelids and pulled out his phone while they were talking, and sent a text message.
