My Wife is My Life!

Lu Lixing recalled the scene where Jiang Su kissed Ji Qingqing in the video call earlier. It was like a thorn that pierced his heart. Pulling it would be uncomfortable and to not pull would hurt even more.

“How’s your work now? Previously you mentioned that there were some issues with the ongoing project. How is it now?”

“En, It’s all settled.”

“It’s all settled? Then… you’re not busy?”

“En, I’m not busy.”

Ji Qingqing tested. “Then my flight tomorrow would most likely arrive at 5 in the afternoon…”

“Stay safe during your journey when coming back.”

“… Okay.” Ji Qingqing pouted.

It was the end of filming for the rest too. Others would have someone to pick them. Why wasn’t there anyone coming to pick her up?

Nevermind nevermind. President Lu was busy with the company affairs. She should be more understanding.

“Is there anything else?”

“There’s nothing.”

“Then you should get some rest. I still have something going on so I’ll hang up first.”

The video call ended.

Wen Rou brought her a small slice of cake. “Sister Qingqing, have some cake. This cake really tastes good.”

Ji Qingqing glanced at the delicious-looking cake and swallowed her saliva.

“I’m not eating. I’m dieting!”

Wen Rou looked at Ji Qingqing who was 168 m tall, weighed less than 100 kg, and nodded. As Ji Qingqing watched, she started bringing the cake to her mouth.

Lu Lixing had just ended the video call on his side. He got up and left the conference room.

Chen Qing was waiting outside. He absolutely did not dare interrupt his boss’s private matters.

“What’s my schedule for tomorrow’s afternoon?”

Chen Qing glanced at the planner. “You have a meeting at 2 tomorrow afternoon.”

“Push it to the day after.”

Chen Qing agreed.

During the night banquet, the filming crew opened many bottles of wine. Ji Qingqing raised her glass of wine and looked at the two tables full of people. “Thank you all for your guidance during this period. Your guidance helped me to complete the filming successfully. For the past month, I have enjoyed working together with all of you. If I have the chance, I hope that I’ll have the opportunity to work with you all again.”

Ji Qingqing drank a lot during the banquet. Along with the customary wine culture, all her unhappiness and grievances turned into floating clouds.

TL note: 酒杯文化Chinese wine culture. Obligatory drinking of wine when congratulating someone or celebrating something.

After the banquet, the entire crew was more or less drunk. On the other hand, Ji Qingqing was still conscious and was helped back into her room by Wen Rou.

Knowing that there will be drinking tonight, the items in the room had been packed up prior. Ji Qingqing had a hangover the next day and slept till the afternoon. After that, the few of them said their farewells to the crew and immediately headed to the airport. Their plane landed at 5 in the afternoon.

The familiar surroundings of the airport that greeted Ji Qingqing when she just landed made her feel as if she stepped into a different era.

Wen Rou and Manager Qin Yue sat beside her. By right, there shouldn’t be any mobbing by antis at the airport as they had returned back discreetly. None of them expected that the minute they left the arrival hall, they would be mobbed. Ten girls that looked about 18 years old ran in from all four directions and surrounded Ji Qingqing. Each of them looked vengeful.

“Ji Qingqing leave the entertainment industry!”

The ‘slogan’ that was shouted directly at her face, for sure was loud.

Ji Qingqing glanced at their young and immature faces and helplessly chuckled.

“Security!” As Qin Yue and Wen Rou stepped forward to protect Ji Qingqing, 2-3 airport staff came forward to separate the group of girls. Even so, it wasn’t safe.

Sounds of hurried footsteps were heard coming towards them.

“Ji Qingqing leave the entertainment industry!” As they shouted, a girl wearing a black mask and carrying a black backpack threw a bottle of water at Ji Qingqing.

Before Ji Qingqing could react, she was hugged by a familiar figure. The plastic bottle landed on that person’s arm.

Ji Qingqing looked up and saw Lu Lixing whose brows were knitted tightly, covering half of her body.

She blurted out in surprise. “Why are you here?”

Lu Lixing looked the same as usual, just that his face was grimmer than before and even more authoritative. Even so, it made Ji Qingqing’s flustered heart settle down.

He swept a glance at the ten girls and they didn’t dare to act rashly.

Soon after, the airport security arrived and brought the ten girls away.

Lu Lixing hugged Ji Qingqing in his arms, protecting her. He covered her fully, preventing anyone from seeing her. After that, they left the airport and drove off.

In the car, Ji Qingqing looked at Lu Lixing. She remembered that the bottle of water earlier seemed to have hit his arm.
