Chapter 60 - How shameless can you be? (1)
Lu Lixing, a single dog for 30 years, truly couldn't understand the way a woman's mind worked.
Before meeting Ji Qingqing, the women that he met were dignified, elegant, well-educated, sensible, and gentle. They were people that had a sense of propriety. But after meeting Ji Qingqing, every day, he thought about prying open Ji Qingqing's head to see what was inside!
"Rogue?" Lu Lixing, who had been called a rogue again, almost laughed in anger. "What did I say to deserve being called a rogue?"
"You want me to use my mouth to pay you back. Isn't that being a rogue?"
"I want you to use your mouth to call me hubby! Ji Qingqing, how shameless can you be? What are you thinking in that head of yours?" Looking at Ji Qingqing's boldly self-righteous look, he really wanted to know what kind of nonsensical thing she was thinking of!
Ji Qingqing froze in surpose. Looking at Lu Lixing's expression which didn't seem fake, she felt embarrassed.
The tips of her ears turned slightly red.
Oh, so he only wanted her to call him hubby.
Although Ji Qingqing was embarrassed, she still felt glad. Glad that Lu Lixing didn't want her to... kiss him.
Thinking of how she had misunderstood him, Ji Qingqing looked at Lu Lixing with a guilty conscience. She blustered, "... See, you're acting like a rogue!"
People that had reason on their side didn't need to raise their voices. Ji Qingqing's words were simple false bravado.
Seeing how she was desperately trying to keep her dignity, Lu Lixing didn't expose her. Instead of arguing with her in depth whether or not he was rogue, he simply said, "If you think I'm rogue, then fix your own problems. Don't bother me."
After saying this, he sat down and started thumbing through the pile of documents on his desk.
Ji Qingqing grinded her teeth.
This bastard, he had money and power.
"If you won't help me, I'll go look for grandpa." After saying that, she turned around and started walking out.
"Stop!" Lu Lixing narrowed his eyes. The veins on his forehead were slightly jumping. He took a few deep breaths to calm down. "Call me hubby a hundred times, and I'll take care of this matter for you."
Ji Qingqing stood in place as she pondered his offer. She increasingly felt that there was something wrong with Lu Lixing.
Addressing him as hubby was one thing, but saying it a hundred times?
She turned around. Looking at Lu Lixing, she raised five fingers and bargained, "Five times."
Lu Lixing said in a sunken voice, "Fifty times."
"Ten times."
"Thirty times."
"Fifteen times."
"Twenty times."
Ji Qingqing thought it over. "Never mind, I'll just go look for grandpa."
Lu Lixing's pen stabbed through a document. "Fifteen times, deal?”
Ji Qingqing dragged her feet as she walked over to his desk. As she looked at that flawless face of his, the tips of her ears turned redder.
Even though it was just using her mouth and she had already said it so many times before, her heart would palpitate as soon as she called out hubby. Her heart would skip so much faster than her usual heartbeat.
"Hu...hubby."
She found it strange. Why did Lu Lixing have such a bizarre hobby of wanting to hear people call him hubby?
“Hubby.”
“Hubby.”
“Hubby.”
The sound of her heartbeat sounded so loud. Ji Qingqing felt as if her ears were burning. Clenching her jaw, she resolutely finished. "Hubby, hubby, hubby, hubby, hubby, hubby, hubby, hubby, hubby, hubby, hubby."
Lu Lixing didn't notice that his smile was getting bigger as he listened.
-- "15 points has been added to your life. You currently have 35 hours to live."
"Enough of that, hurry up and use your mouth to solve my problem."
Lu Lixing called someone.
Very quickly, his call was picked. Lu Lixing turned on the speakerphone.
"Hey, Shuyi, it's me, Lu Lixing."
"Lixing?" The person on the other end seemed somewhat incredulous. "Aren't you..."
