Chapter 146
Ji Qingqing looked at the obedient Si Si in Lu Lixing’s arms. “Can we bring it back?” She asked, her eyes brimming with anticipation.
Lu Lixing keenly looked at her. “Bring it back?”
“Yes! If we bring it back, Aunt Pei will definitely be very happy!”
“Then isn’t there something you should say first?” Lu Lixing implied, and Ji Qingqing already knew what he meant.
She gave a slight cough and grumbled silently at Lu Lixing’s boldness. Under everyone’s gaze, her face turned beet red from her neck up to her ears. Then she glanced at Qi Jingyun.
At once, Qi Jingyun understood the strange yet intimate atmosphere the two gave off for no reason. She laughed and sat next to Director Zhou. And continued to pretend to discuss the script lines with Director Zhou and Jiang Su who were previously pretending to discuss the script too.
“Didn’t you say Aunt Pei lost her dog previously? Since she treats me so well, why can’t I give her a dog to make her happy? Furthermore, she has taken care of you for many years, so don’t be so stingy about this.”
“I’m stingy?”
“…No, you aren’t, you are really generous. Pretty please, just satisfy me this one time. I really like this puppy. Look at Si Si, it’s so obedient and adorable. It can also accompany Grandpa if we bring it back home.”
Lu Lixing didn’t answer and examined the little Samoyed.
Seeing how deadpan Lu Lixing was, Ji Qingqing just wanted snatch the Samoyed over and bring it back.
But as she had only entered the Lu family recently, things such as bringing pets home would be less inappropriate if managed by Lu Lixing instead.
“Look at how cute Si Si is!” Ji Qingqing held onto Lu Lixing’s arm, “Hubby, can we bring it back?”
——“Life point +1. Current life points are worth 4 hours.”
Lu Lixing raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
“Hubby just agree to this please, just this once, okay? Hubby Hubby Hubby Hubby… Hubby are you agreeing or not!”
——“Life points +6. Current life points are worth 10 hours.”
Nearby, Director Zhou who was pretending to be discussing the script’s plot sucked his breath, he bent his head and started coughing viciously. As he was afraid of interrupting the atmosphere between the two, he held it in till his face turned red and nearly became short of breath.
Qi Jingyun looked at the script lines, feeling weird. All these lines were the ones that she had memorized completely before. And now, they were reflected in her eyes as the two syllables, “hubby”.
Jiang Su’s reaction was considerably more normal compared to the rest. Similar to Lu Lixing, the corners of his lips lifted as he heard Ji Qingqing called out “hubby” several times.
Seeing that the other party had yet to reply, Ji Qingqing stopped and shot him a ‘Have you had enough?’ look.
Her mouth was already dry, if she continued calling, she would really lose face entirely.
Lu Lixing estimated the time and finally relented. “Okay, you can bring it back.”
“Woof woof woof woof woof!”
——“Someone come and save me!!!”
“Thanks hubby!”
——“Life point +1. Current life points are worth 11 hours.”
Seeing the life points he had gained, Lu Lixing walked off satisfied. And of course, before he left, he found a leash and brought the unwilling Si Si into the car before returning to the hotel.
Similarly, Ji Qingqing, who had succeeded in getting the dog, sat down satisfied too.She continued the script discussion with Director Zhou and the rest.
Several people looked at her, speechless.
Ji Qingqing opened her script and looked up. Three pairs of eyes were staring fixedly at her.
She reckoned that they had all heard what she said earlier.
So she put on a composed face, “Sister Jing Yun, thank you for letting me have Si Si. How about I treat everyone to afternoon tea!”
“Thank you, Miss Ji.”
“Don’t be so polite, just Qing Qing is fine.”
Director Zhou laughed awkwardly, “Qing Qing, you seem to be quite close with Mr Lu?”
“Not too bad.”
“When did it happen? It didn’t begin when you joined the filming crew right?”
Ji Qingqing gave a weak laugh.
During the time she had just entered the filming crew, the original host was still intimate with Gu Shaoyu, so there was no chance for that to happen.
Qi Jingyun smilled. “Mr Lu seems to like you a lot.”
What do you mean by ‘like’, he just likes hearing people call him hubby only because it’s his hobby.
Meanwhile, Jiang Su didn’t comment much and only replied, “Seize the opportunity.”
“Yup, seize it well.”
“I agree, you’ve got to seize it well!”
All three were veterans that had experienced the trials and hardships of the entertainment industry. If Lu Lixing wasn’t romantically interested in Ji Qingqing, he would not have allowed her to act as she pleased.
