My Wife is My Life!
chapter-152

Ji Qingqing took the tissue and wiped her tears. As she still hasn’t recovered from that emotional state, she sobbed and replied, “If that’s the case, I’ll just reluctantly believe you once.”

Placing the script down, Lu Lixing looked at Ji Qingqing’s puffy eyes. His brows knitted further and he murmured, “Go sleep early.”

After saying that, he entered the washroom. Then he took out his phone and hastily dialed Qin Shao’s number.

Lu Lixing once again strongly believed that a person shouldn’t lie.

A single lie would require another to cover it up. And the new lie would require even more lies to cover it.

Meanwhile, Ji Qingqing didn’t notice much as she was wholly fixated on Lu Lixing’s words, ‘You don’t need to rehearse anymore, your acting is really good.’ Upon hearing them, her puffy eyes curved as she smiled.

Perhaps she could do fairly well in the entertainment industry?

The next morning, having slept well, Ji Qingqing headed towards the filming location. Today, the filming was rather smooth sailing. It was still Jiang Su and Qi Jingyun’s parts. But, even so, after seeing their performance, one could tell that they had practiced hard the day before.

However, thinking about it, Director Zhou’s scolding yesterday was already severe enough. If they got scolded again today, then the two of them would really lose face.

Lu Lixing arrived in the afternoon. Although he claimed that it was for the purpose of encouraging her for her first scene, Ji Qingqing strongly felt that he came just because he wanted to hear her call him ‘hubby’.

Ji Qingqing didn’t want to bother with him and stood to the side, waiting for her turn. Time flew and dusk fell. The sky darkened, leaving a hint of afterglow.

“Start spraying the rain! Start spraying the rain!” The staff shouted and an artificial rain machine was pushed over.

Ji Qingqing’s night filming was supposed to be filmed while it was raining.

A gust of wind blew and left a slight chill.

“Ji Qingqing, don’t be nervous, just listen to what I told you earlier and act with the same emotions that you used when you rehearsed with Jiang Su previously. Let’s aim to pass this on the first take.”

Ji Qingqing nodded. Thinking of what Lu Lixing said the night before, she had an inkling of what she wanted to do.

“Director Zhou, rest assured, I will do my best!”

“Alright, actors get ready! Everyone do your best, it’s already quite late. Let’s aim to pass this on the first take!”

Jiang Su stood under the roof while Ji Qingqing stood in the middle of the pouring rain. As the raindrops trickled down her face, she closed her eyes and immersed herself into the emotions of grief felt by the second female lead. Line after line, she recited the dialogue fluently. It was as if she had turned to the second female lead. Her eyes reddened as she stared at the cold-hearted man. Filled with a mixture of love and hate, she let it all out at the top of her lungs under the pouring rain.

“Lu Xichen, if Father didn’t risk his life to take you in then, you would have been killed! For so many years, I thought your stone-cold heart would be warmed by me. But I could never imagine this. You ungrateful, cruel, shameless bastard! LU XICHEN! Do you even have a conscience?”

She looked at Jiang Su and slowly walked towards him. Her sobs were filled with pain, “Why do you not love me? What must I do in exchange for your love? I can give you everything, including my life! I love you so much and…”

Jiang Su’s expression flickered and the hands that were resting on his side clenched into fists.

“But… Even though you are ungrateful and cruel and shameless. But I…But I…”

She took a deep breath and gazed at him in grief, “But even so, I still love you Lu Lixing!”

Hong long——

A man-made lightning flashed across. And in that split second, its brilliance illuminated the filming crew.

A hush fell and the entire filming crew turned silent.
