Ji Qingqing gave Lu Lixing a âBro, what in the world are you sayingâ look.
Her filming assignment was so packed. Five hours of video calls every day? Does she still want her job?
And besides, Lu Lixingâs work wasnât easy either. How does he have the time to video call her every day? Even squeezing out five minutes every day would be considered not bad.
âNo, I canât. This would slow down your work. Furthermore,â she looked at Lu Lixing, puzzled, âis our relationship that close? Why is there a need to video call five hours a day?â
âDidnât you say it? Weâre husband and wife. Do we still need a reason to video call every day?â
âBut video calling every day would be enough. Why does it have to be five hours? Where would I get this much time?â
âDonât you have an assistant?â Lu Lixing turned his gaze to Wen Rou, who stood at the side like a sculpture, holding a cup of water.
With Lu Lixingâs gaze on her, Wen Rou reluctantly placed that cup of water beside his hand. âPresident Lu, have some water.â
âIf youâre usually busy, then let Wen Rou hold the phone and take a video of you while you are filming.â
Ask Wen Rou to hold on to the phone and video call while she acts?
Just thinking about how it would play out already felt weird. Lu Lixing really is carefree. With so many people at the filming site, does he not care if people gossip about it?
Ji Qingqingâs brow furrowed. âSo weird.â
âHow so? This would not bother your work or your life. I just want to know if youâre doing well at the filming site.â
He cared this much about her? Ji Qingqing stared at him with suspicion.
Based on what she understood about Lu Lixing and thinking about his actions these past few days, he certainly didnât seem like an awfully caring person.
But thinking about it carefully, Ji Qingqing felt that it was rather normal for him to say those words. After all, heâs a controlling person.
Didnât he rush over when she just arrived at the filming studio?
Lu Lixing allowed her to study him freely. He remained composed while musing how smooth he had gotten in telling lies. There was no pressure to be felt at all.
âDo you want me to bring Si Si back today, or youâll bring it back later on?â
Ji Qingqing pondered for a bit. Sheâll be filming and wouldnât have much time to take care of Si Si. Not to even mention taking it on a walk every day.
âYou can bring it back first. Itâs good for it to familiarize itself with the surroundings at home too.â
âOkay, so we will have it this way for now.â Lu Lixing managed to successfully divert Ji Qingqingâs attention using Si Si.
Just as Ji Qingqing wanted to say some more to him, she spotted Lu Liting and Shen Weiwei a short distance away. The two of them walked side by side as they made their way over. She immediately shut her mouth and opened her script, pretending to study her lines.
More or less it wasnât going to be something good.
Lu Liting and Shen Weiwei walked closer.
âBig brother, let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Shen Weiwei.â After speaking, Lu Liting turned to Shen Weiwei. âWeiwei, this is my older brother.â
It was obvious that Shen Weiwei had cried earlier. Her eyes were red and her small frame was similar to that of a rabbit, making her look even more pitiful. Her appearance easily stirred up menâs inner desire to protect, compelling them to show their heartfelt care to her.
âHi, Brother Lu. Iâm Shen WeiweiâŚâ
Not waiting for Shen Weiwei to speak further, Lu Lixing ungentlemanly interrupted her. âMiss Shen, until youâre married to Lu Liting, it would be inappropriate for you to call me brother.â
Upon hearing Lu Lixingâs unreserved reply, an embarrassed smile stiffened on Shen Weiweiâs face. Her eyes started to turn red again and she looked down, not knowing what to do. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito. âMr. Lu, Iâm sorry Iâve offended you.â
Those words sounded as if she had been wronged.
âBig brother!â As Lu Liting looked at the pitiful looking Shen Weiwei, he felt as if his heart had been clenched. Losing his composure, he held Shen Weiweiâs hands tightly and said, âDonât be like this. Weiwei is my girlfriend and I know her well. She is kind and pure-hearted by nature. You must have misunderstood her.â
Shen Weiwei pulled on his hand, pleading him not to talk.
Lu Lixing lifted his eyelids and gazed coldly at Lu Liting. âBefore you guys are married, I canât take on the brother title. That has nothing to do with her being kind and pure-hearted by nature.â
