In the next 30 minutes to 5 hours, as the news kept getting shared online, you could pretty much say that the whole world was made aware of Ji Qingqing and Lu Lixingâs marriage.
Meanwhile, far away at the Lu residence, Old Lu didnât get to rest for the whole afternoon. He had to answer the calls one after another and his phone kept ringing non-stop.
âOld Lu, congratulations, youâre about to have a daughter-in-law. To be able to marry such a pretty young girl, Li Lixing, this kid is quite capable.â
âOld sir, congratulations congratulations, such a big joyous event. When the time comes, remember to give me a call.â
âOld Lu, arenât you sneaky. Such a huge event, why didnât you tell me in advance; I only ended up finding out about it now. You really did a good job in hiding this!â
Old Lu made small talk for the whole afternoon and it entirely disrupted his plans to go fishing. He hung up his phone and his eyebrows stiffened. âI havenât even announced it publicly. How come⌠those old guys know about it? How did they find out?â
Aunt Pei smiled as she poured him a glass of water. âOld Sir, earlier the young master called and told me. He said that he and madam had publicly announced their relationship during the program.â
Old Lu was momentarily stunned, then he laughed and continued, âThis kid⌠What program? Let me have a look.â
Aunt Pei smiled and let Old Lu see the video segment in which they made the announcement public. Old Lu wore his glasses and watched attentively for a while. He realized that it was his call that âexposedâ this matter. Originally it was Lu Lixing who first asked about it, but it got explained as a slip of the tongue.
Old Lu laughed and scolded good-naturedly. âThis brat, he fooled me again! When he gets back, watch me teach him a lesson!â
Although he said it like that, not a single bit of anger could be seen on his face. It was all smiles.
âThis is only a short part. Is there any more? Let me see their whole program in full.â
âAh, give me a second.â
Aunt Pei opened the programâs live-stream. The scene hadnât undergone any special editing and the camera actually filmed it to be a little blurry and zoomed out. The entire scene only showed Lu Lixing sitting on the sofa reading a magazine. Occasionally he would glance at his phone and answer a call or two.
Old Lu frowned. âWhereâs Qingqing?â
âSheâs bathing. Both of them were outside for the entire day and were tired.â
Just as Aunt Pei finished speaking, a short shriek was heard from the stream.
Lu Lixing paused and got up. He went to the bathroom door and asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
After a while, the sound of Ji Qingqing sucking her breath could be heard from inside. âItâs alright. The floor was slippery and I nearly slipped.â
âBe careful.â Lu Lixing reminded her and went back to the sofa to continue reading the magazine which he hadnât finished.
âââHost, it is my responsibility and duty to remind you that you havenât done your daily mission in a very long time. I know that deducting 3 life points every day from you is just a matter of getting Ji Qingqing to call you hubby 3 times. But even so, at the very least, itâs 3 hours of life. Canât you respect these 3 life points a little more? And also respect me and the missions I assign.â
Lu Lixing just sat there. His brow didnât furrow and he didnât even bat an eyelid.
It was rare for Little A to be able to have an open discussion with him.
âââDonât look down on these 3 hours. Who knows? Maybe theyâll become very useful.â
Saying that Little A was feeling a little insignificant. Itâs cold, aloof system personality crashed terribly.
Lu Lixingâs eyes narrowed. âI remembered that you werenât this talkative before?â
ââIsnât that implying: Without saying anything now, Ji Qingqing would call you âHubby Hubbyâ non-stop?
Feeling that its existence was getting more and more insignificant, Little A felt that it really had to appeal to Lu Lixing emotionally and logically to make him motivated and understand.
Of course, Little A will absolutely never reveal these concerns.
Lu Lixing ignored it.
âââHost, youâre somewhat lacking in life points. How about a mission?â
Lu Lixing scoffed and yelled, âQingqing!â
Ji Qingqingâs voice was heard. âWhat is it, hubby?â
The system gritted its teeth. âLife point +1. Current life points are worth 10 hours!â
Lu Lixing: âItâs nothing.â
After saying that, he scoffed, âHow many points will that mission deduct, again?â
The ridicule was very apparent in his words.
Life points will get deducted if the mission isnât completed? Go ahead, deduct it. Deduct all you want.
Lu Lixing let out a long breath. His whole body felt carefree all over and he very much had the feeling that he had turned the tables around and become the one in power.
