Chapter 26 - After saying this, Ji Qingqing slowly tugged up the blanket that was covering Lu Lixing's body until it covered.... his face (4)

Feeling suspicious, Ji Qingqing placed the cup of water and the medicine on the side and gently pushed him.

"Mr. Lu?"

"Lu Lixing?"

".... Hey, wake up?"

There was still no response.

Ji Qingqing panicked. Looking at Lu Lixing's peacefully sleeping face, her heart palpitated. A scary thought popped up in her mind. She stretched her index finger out to check if Lu Lixing was breathing.

Critical condition...

Coming to the end of his allotted lifespan...

Only a few more days...

Ji Qingqing's hand kept trembling.

"Young Madam, you..." Aunty Pei appeared in the doorway. Hearing her voice, Ji Qingqing instinctively looked towards the door. Her heart was wildly beating.

Aunty Pei saw Ji Qingqing's flustered appearance and that her hand was stretched towards Lu Lixing's face. Her legs felt weak. In a trembling voice that sounded as if she was going to cry soon, "Young Master... Is he okay?"

Having been interrupted while she was checking Lu Lixing's condition, Ji Qingqing hastily got up and stood to the side. She didn't know what to do.

"Aunty Pei... I..." Ji Qingqing didn't know what to say.

"What... what happened? Young Madam don't scare me..." Aunty Pei entered the room in growing trepidation as she made a guess.

Ji Qingqing uneasily took a few steps away from the bed.

Aunty Pei took heavy steps towards the bed. "No... It can't be! Young Master, he can't have..." But in the next moment, it was as if someone had choked her throat. Looking at the peacefully sleeping Lu Lixing, her body trembled in fright. "I... I'll go fetch Old Master…”

She rushed out of the room.

Ji Qingqing was left alone with Lu Lixing.

Actually, from the moment that Lu Lixing had returned from the hospital, everyone had already mentally prepared themselves.

But, you couldn't help but feel insignificant and powerless in the face of death.

Although the author hadn't spent much time writing about Lu Lixing's death, he had lived on in the memories of others. He was such a mysterious and powerful man. Had he really just died after she had only known him for a day?

Lu Lixing.... was he really dead?

Ji Qingqing had mixed emotions.

She didn't have the courage to walk forward. Yesterday, he had been alive and seemed fine. But now, he was lying in front of her, and he was never going to wake up.

Although she had known that Lu Lixing was approaching death, she hadn't expected that he would silently pass away in the night. He had died alone.

He didn't even get the chance to see his loved ones one last time. He must have left the living world so unwillingly.

Ji Qingqing thought of her last meeting with Lu Lixing and how that would be their last conversation. She couldn't help but feel regret.

She shouldn't have gotten so angry yesterday.

Lu Lixing had already been at death's door. What was there quibble about?

Why had she bickered with him? It was so pointless now.

She looked at Lu Lixing with extreme regret. She did her best to push down her sorrow and remorse and quietly said, "You can leave in peace. I'll take care of your grandfather for you."

After saying this, Ji Qingqing slowly tugged up the blanket that was covering Lu Lixing's body until it covered.... his face.
