Chapter 248 \nDuring the period Ji Qingqing interacted with Old Lu, the elderly man was indeed approachable and amiable, however he unavoidably had his own stubborn ideas and rules. Given that he was like that when he was old, one could imagine what he was like when he was younger.\n
Thinking about the novelâs Lu Lixing life, it was only mentioned briefly. He was just like a spinning top which spinned around the Luâs. He didnât have any time that belonged to himself and his hobbies.
She deliberated her words, âActually, Grandpa tells me all the time that he regrets it too and that he shouldnât have forced you like that that time. He always said that if it was possible to travel back to the past, he would definitely let you choose your own life. What about you? Do you regret it?â
âRegret what?â
âCompared to the things that youâve gained, do you regret what youâve lost in the past?â
âI gained the entire Lu Corporation, Grandpaâs trust, and the Lu Family assets. I lost my cars, sailboats, and spare time. The things I gained far exceed those that I lost, so why would I regret?â
Ji Qingqing remained silent. Lu Lixing indeed had nothing much to regret.\n
The things he gained were what others could not even dare to dream about in their lifetime.
âI donât blame him either,â Lu Lixing replied. âRegarding Father and Motherâs accident, at that time, the one who grieved the most was Grandpa. He didnât want outsiders to say that the Lu Family had no successors when they mentioned my father, so he had strict expectations for me. Besides, Grandpa is right, car racing is indeed dangerous.â
âSo afterwards, you never raced again?â
âI didnât.â
Ji Qingqing turned and looked at the sports car parked quietly on the road. The long coastline stretched out as far as she could see.
âYou can have fun today, I promised I wonât tell it to Grandpa.â
âNever mind.â Lu Lixing chuckled. âFor dangerous things, once there is one accident, there wonât ever be a second. There is no need to take such a risk for a moment of thrill.â\nâYou⊠Apart from cars, donât you have other leisure hobbies?â
âYachting.â
ââŠâ
Ji Qingqing remembered the yacht models that were included amongst Lu Lixingâs heap of car models.
That leisure hobby was also rather dangerous.
âWhat about you?â
âMe? My leisure hobby?â\nVisit wuxiaworld.eu for extra chapters.
Lu Lixing nodded.
âMy leisure hobby is actually rather boring.â Ji Qingqing pondered for a bit and after racking her brains; it turned out that she really didnât have many proper hobbies. âDoes travelling count? Does reading count?â
Lu Lixing gave up. âI think your sleeping also counts as a hobby.â
She rolled her eyes. âPeople like me already have a very hard time living. My whole day is devoted to rushing about for my lifestyle, how would I have any energy to enjoy my own leisure hobbies? Every time I get off work, I just want to read, watch movies, lay on the bed to rest, and travel a few times a year. Thatâs all itâll take to make me very happy.
Saying that, Ji Qingqing added again, âPreviously, Grandpa told me to persuade you not to focus your attention and time on the company for the whole day when thereâs no reason to do so. Go out occasionally to relax and take it easy. If you donât want to go out on your own, you can call me over. As long as you foot the bill, I donât mind being a tour guide for you.â
Lu Lixing listened as Ji Qingqing said it in earnest and his lips slightly curved. âSure, no problem.â
\nIt was especially comfortable when the sea breeze blew over. The two of them looked for a rock to sit on and gazed at the calm sea surface in the distance.
âNow itâs already 2.30pm, if we sit a while longer it will be around 3 or 4pm. Weâll return back to the hotel around 4 or 5pm and dinner would be around 7 or 8pmâ Ji Qingqing estimated like this and one day had actually ended just like that. âAre dates supposed to be like this?â
Idling time away?
Lu Lixing also didnât know. âIâm not sure, but I can ask Chen Shuyi.â
âOh right, what did they do today?â
âI donât know.â
âThen whatâs our schedule tomorrow?â
Lu Lixing took out his phone and opened the memo app. âTomorrow morning weâll be hiking, and in the afternoon weâll go downtown to look at an art exhibit, at nightâŠâ
