She looked at Lu Lixingâs solemn and serious face and suddenly felt worried.
Could it be ⌠that because he was nearing death, he was babbling nonsense from cognitive decline?
So, she went along with Lu Lixingâs previous words. âIâm your wife. You donât have to worry. Iâm a woman that other men will never get!â
Dispirited, Lu Lixing said, âLet me finish speaking.â
â⌠Oh, okay. Say whatever you want.â
âYour beauty makes other women ashamed to show their faces. I beg you, please donâtâŚâ Lu Lixing faltered. Saying these words was breaking his bottom line. âPlease donât seduce other people with your wretched glamourous selfâŚâ *
(T/N: Just to clarify, heâs not repeating the Baidu search results exactly. Maybe, itâs too embarrassing to say?)
Ji Qingqing stammered, âI didnâtâŚâ
Could it be that Lu Lixing was lecturing her?
Was he misunderstanding something?
Ji Qingqing felt that she had been very well-behaved in the Lu familyâs home. Even when she saw her ex-lover, Lu Liting, she had ignored him. He wasnât going to tell her to dress like an Arabic woman with a veil over her face, right?
âYouâre a rose amidst flowers, the flower bud amidst lilies, the brightest star in the night sky, the most beautiful mermaid in the deep sea. You have the face of an angel. Youâre the most beautiful goddess in my heart!â
â âTask completed. 5 point has been added to your life. You currently have five hour to live.â
âWhy⌠Why did you say all that?â
Lu Lixingâs face wasnât red, and his heart wasnât beating fast either. He pretended to be unperturbed, âComplimenting you.â
The corners of Ji Qingqingâs lips twitched. She really was very shocked.
As it turned out, he had said all those words to praise her?
You really could see and hear anything if you live long enough.
Lu Lixingâs style of complimenting people was truly very ⌠unique.
It was especially weird because Lu Lixing was looking at her earnestly with his solemn and calm face when he said those compliments. She really wanted to laugh.
Ji Qingqing wanted to laugh, but it would be inappropriate to do so in front of a sickly person. She lowered her head as she tried to hold back her laughter, but she was unsuccessful. Her laughter escaped. When she looked up, she saw that Lu Lixing was staring at her.
âUm⌠thank you for the compliments. I⌠Iâm very happy hahaha⌠hahahaâ Ji Qingqing couldnât keep a serious face. She knew that it was bad of her to laugh without restraint in front of Lu Lixing, but she really couldnât help herself. She bent over and laughed until her stomach hurt and her face felt sore from smiling too much.
Ji Qingqing abruptly covered her mouth. Her cheeks were flushed from holding back her laughter. She fiercely shook her head. âItâs not funny. Not funny at all. Umm⌠You spoke so much. Do you want to drink someâŚ. haha haha⌠waterâŚ. hahaâŚâ
Lu Lixing squeezed out the words: âNo! Thank! You!â
It was very hard for Ji Qingqing to suppress her laughter. Her body was even shaking. Biting her lip for some semblance of self-control, âSince you donât want to drink water⌠Haha⌠Iâll leave first and go see Elder Lu.â
She didnât even dare to glance at Lu Lixing. She didnât want to make him feel worse by breaking out into laughter again. She ran out of the room.
âYoung Madam⌠Whatâs wrong? Are you okay?â
âHuh? I⌠Iâm fine. Why would there be anything wrong with me?â
âIs it too hot? Do you want me to lower the thermostat? Or, is it an allergic reaction? Why is your face so red?
âIt is⌠slightly too hot. But, itâs okay. Iâll be fine soon.â
Lu Lixing looked at the doorway. Leaning against his headboard, he closed his eyes and heavily sighed.
Life was truly merciless to him.
