My Wife is My Life!
chapter-134

Deputy Director Lin was not his employee, so he cannot lecture or manage his actions. However, Meng Xun was one of Tianyu Entertainment’s agents, and this incident happened under his leadership, so he must take care of it!

Lu Lixing turned his attention toward Qin Yue and asked, “Deputy Director Lin told me just now that Ji Qingqing’s second male lead role was traded with money and body by Meng Xun. Have you heard of these kinds of matters in the company?”

Although he owned Tianyu Entertainment, he didn’t manage it much, so he didn’t know about the ins and outs of the entertainment industry.

Qin Yue worked in the entertainment industry for a while now, so he was used to matters like this. This was not something uncommon that happened in the company. It could be said that deals like these were like the unwritten rules of the entertainment industry. If an actor or an actress wants to get a certain role, apart from their popularity and skills, they can depend on the connections and make behind the scene deals.

But now that he was in front of Lu Lixing, he didn’t dare to divulge into details. He merely paused for a moment before he said, “I’ve heard a little about celebrities making these kinds of deals before.”

Lu Lixing pondered for a moment before he said, “Okay, I understand. You can head back first and rest for the night if you have nothing else to report.”

Qin Yue nodded his head and turned to leave.

Once the door closed, only Lu Lixing and Ji Qingqing were left in the room. It was dead silent.

Lu Lixing was still sitting on the sofa when he turned around to look at Ji Qingqing. Ji Qingqing was sitting beside him, but no one knew when she had fallen asleep. “Wake up.”

Ji Qingqing was motionlessly lying on the sofa, it seemed as if she had fallen dead asleep.

Lu Lixing got up from the sofa and enveloped Ji Qingqing’s body with his frame. He watched as Ji Qingqing’s eyebrows slightly trembled under his gaze. “Are you pretending to be asleep?”

Ji Qingqing rolled over to the other side and pressed her face against the sofa to avoid his intense gaze.

Lu Lixing pinched the tip of her ears and when she didn’t respond, he then squeezed her tender cheeks. But Ji Qingqing continued to pretend to sleep.

He was irritated by how unresponsive Ji Qingqing was being, so he left her sleeping like a tiny ostrich on the sofa. Lu Lixing went back into the bathroom to take a shower.

Once the water was turned on, Ji Qingqing’s face suddenly twitched. She opened one of her eyes and peeked in the direction of the bathroom. When she saw that he was actually taking a shower, she got up from the sofa and walked towards the door with her phone in hand.

Deputy Director Lin had almost scared her to death when he exposed the deal that the original Ji Qingqing had made with him!

Although she and Lu Lixing had no romantic feelings for one another, they were still in a husband and wife relationship. It was definitely suspicious if an unfamiliar man knocked on his wife’s hotel door in the middle of the night and demanded to spend the night with her.

Ji Qingqing thought that she would die at Lu Lixing’s hands tonight.

So, she wanted to head over to Wen Rou’s hotel room and hide from him for a while.

She picked up her shoe with one and her phone in her other hand, and quietly tiptoed towards the door with her bare feet. She carefully listened to the sound of water from the bathroom, making sure that Lu Lixing would not suddenly come out from the bathroom. She made sure she didn’t make any noise as she tried to escape.

Ji Qingqing even slowed down her breathing when she passed by the bathroom door. Once she was at the door of the entrance to her hotel room, she held onto the doorknob, and slowly turned the doorknob open.

Creak——

Ji Qingqing held her breath.

Squeak——

This damned rundown hotel!

Ji Qingqing lost her patience, so she quickly turned the doorknob, finally opening the door.

Ji Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief. There was a bright smile on her face.

Squeak——

The bathroom door also opened.

A figure suddenly walked out of the bathroom. Ji Qingqing froze in place when she heard the bathroom door open.

Lu Lixing leaned against the bathroom door in his pajamas. The light was blocked by his tall figure, so it was impossible to see the expression on his face. She could only hear his usual aloofness tone when he asked, “Where are you going?”

Ji Qingqing’s smile froze on her face. She looked at the opened door in front of her as she calculated how successful she would be escaping from him if she ran now.

Lu Lixing walked forward and closed the door with his hand, cutting off her only road to freedom. Then, he dragged her back to the room by her back collar.

It’s over. There’s no escaping now!

Wait…maybe she can dig a hole below the door and crawl out?

Lu Lixing sat on the sofa while Ji Qingqing stood barefoot on the carpet in front of the sofa. Her mind was rapidly playing through different scenarios as she tried to think of ways to wiggle herself out of this situation.

“Where did you want to go?”

“I…feel that this room is too small for both of us. It’ll be unfair to you since you’re probably not used to living in such a small place, so I was planning on sleeping with Wen Rou in her hotel room. I also have to get up early tomorrow, and I am afraid that I will disturb you.”

“Thank you for your kind consideration, but I don’t mind that this room is a little small for the two of us. I also don’t mind if you wake up early tomorrow.”

Ji Qingqing tried to conceal her embarrassment with an awkward chuckle.

“Let’s discuss what happened earlier. Tell me the truth, what is going on?”
