My Wife is My Life!
chapter-123

He failed the mission, which meant that what she told him: Wu Yanzu was the protagonist of a novel she read, was false.

Ji Qingqing was lying to him?

Lu Lixing really believed that Ji Qingqing was sent by God to teach him a harsh lesson.

Otherwise, how could he keep falling into her hands again and again?

Lu Lixing took a very deep breath and looked at Ji Qingqing. He emphasized each and every word as he said, “Repeat what you just said, who is Wu Yanzu?”

Ji Qingqing didn’t detect that his tone had slightly changed as she repeated what she had just told him, “I told you, he is the male protagonist in a novel I read about.”

“I’ll give you another, so tell me who Wu Yanzu really is!”

Ji Qingqing finally noticed that his tone had changed. She almost blurted the truth until she hastily closed her mouth.

“He…” The wheels inside Ji Qingqing’s mind were constantly turning. Did Lu Lixing know that she lied to him? But how was that possible? Didn’t her lie sound very believable? There was no one named Wu Yanzu in this world, so how come he was so certain that she lied?”

“Are you still trying to find a way to lie to me?”

“No! What I just said is true!”

Lu Lixing’s eyes were about to burst into flames. He sternly said, “Lies!”

Ji Qingqing was frightened by his sudden change in tone, “You almost scared me to death!”

“Stop lying to me. Stop telling me that Wu Yanzu is the protagonist of a novel you’ve read…” Lu Lixing frowned, “What was the title of the novel again?”

Ji Qingqing hesitated.

…What did she tell him the novel was called?

Lu Lixing sighed, “Just tell me honestly, who is Wu Yanzu?”

Ji Qingqing was surprised at how sharp Lu Lixing was. She had merely accidentally mentioned Wu Yanzu’s name once when she was drunk, but Lu Lixing still remembered his name. He even went through her explanation with a fine comb. But why was he so keen on asking about this person?

“Why do you keep questioning me about Wu Yanzu?”

Lu Lixing had a calm expression on his face when he suddenly narrowed his eyes. He examined Ji Qingqing’s flustered attitude and even repeated the name Wu Yanzu a few times in his heart.

“Do you care that much about Wu Yanzu?”

What are you doing! Lu Lixing, you are the president of a magnificent and large corporation, so why wouldn’t you just let go of this Wu Yanzu?

“This person must be very important to you, right?”

Wu Yanzu did not exist in this world, so of course, he was important to her.

“Go ahead. Tell me who that person is.”

Wouldn’t she have exposed herself if she revealed Wu Yanzu’s real identity to Lu Lixing?

But why was Lu Lixing behaving this way? Why was he so curious about Wu Yanzu? She had merely mentioned his name once.

Could it be…

Ji Qingqing looked at Lu Lixing suspiciously. Could he be…jealous?

No, that can’t be right. Lu Lixing didn’t like her, so why would he be jealous?

Ji Qingqing recalled that in the novel, Lu Lixing was very possessive when it came to things that belonged to him. He wouldn’t even let other people lay one finger on the things that belonged to him.

Although Lu Lixing may not have any feelings for her, they were still married. Perhaps Lu Lixing thought of her as someone who belonged to him, so he disliked it if she liked any other men.

“He…is a perfect man. He is handsome, gentle, considerate, and knowledgeable. He is Mr. Perfect in every woman’s heart. He is also…” Ji Qingqing wondered whether she should continue speaking when she saw the expression on Lu Lixing’s face becoming more and more unsightly. “And he is also very rich, very…”

“He is that perfect?

“Of course!”

“Then why haven’t I ever heard of this person?”

“Uh…” How should she explain this to him?

“You are still lying!” Lu Lixing looked at her as if he had already seen through her lies. He looked at her coldly and said, “I’m no longer interested in listening to your lies anymore. You don’t have to tell me who Wu Yanzu is anymore. Since you’ve lied to me already, I don’t want to be lied to again.”
