"Yes! I married him today! If we see each other again, please address me as older sister-in-law!" Ji Qingqing looked up and stared at him with her limpid eyes and makeup-free face until his attempt at intimidating her faltered.

Lu Liting wanted to tear off this woman's false facade. He never wanted to see this pure and good look on her. He knew that it was a lie!

He wouldn't be tricked by this woman again!

Lu Liting curbed the anger that was showing on his face and scoffed, "I got it now. You looked down on me because I'm poor. And now, you came here and seduced my older brother. You're waiting for him to die so you can inherit his wealth, right?"

He had correctly guessed her secret. Ji Qingqing felt guilty, but then she decided to own her actions. "Yeah, I'm here for your older brother's money. So what? I don't care if you have objections. Keep it to yourself. Right now, I'm your older sister-in-law. Even when your older brother dies, I'll still be your older sister-in-law and you still have to show me respect."

Lu Liting tightly clenched his fists. In the end, he grinded his teeth and sneered,"That second generation rich brat dumped you and you immediately seek out another man to satiate your desires? My older brother is going to be dead soon. Ji Qingqing, won't you feel awful if you have to remain a chaste widow?"

Lu Liting continued to humiliate her. "I'm sure you won't be able to stand that sort of a lifestyle. I really want to know, what kind of tricks did you use to seduce my older brother?"

Ji Qingqing suddenly shoved him. "This has nothing to do with you! Lu Liting, we broke up a long time ago. Who I choose to marry has nothing to do with you!"

"What's this about?" Lu Lixing was standing in the study's doorway. His eyebrows were low and his dark eyes had a fathomless sereneness. His indifferent appearance seemed somewhat dispirited though.

Ji Qingqing's heart skipped a beat. How long had he been watching them?

Although she and Lu Lixing had been married for less than a day, she was still his wife in name. It would be inappropriate for her to have seemingly flirtatious exchanges with his younger brother in front of him. Right now, Lu Lixing was still alive and breathing!

The two brothers stood face to face. They were the same height and equally matched in oppressive auras. Ji Qingqing, who was sandwiched between them, was briefly frozen in fear.

Lu Liting coldly said, "Older brother, do you know about this woman's background? How could you have married her?!"

"En, I know." Lu Lixing didn't seem concerned at all.

"Since you know, then you should know that in the past, she..."

Ji Qingqing quickly interrupted Lu Liting to explain herself, "Don't misunderstand. There's nothing going on between him and me!"

Lu Lixing's eyes narrowed. Although he hadn't clearly heard Ji Qingqing and Lu Liting's conversation, he could tell from their expressions that these two had an unmentionable past together.

It felt as if his younger brother was eyeing something that he liked and was waiting for him to leave so that he could take the thing away from him.

"We just happen to have gotten acquainted in the past...."

We?

He coldly looked at Ji Qingqing. "Don't explain. I'm not interested in knowing this."

Although he said those words, he felt an uncomfortable feeling. Without any good reason, this indescribable feeling made him feel gloomy.

What an undisciplined woman!

As his wife, how could she act that way around his younger brother. Was she treating him as if he was already dead?

"I don't care what kind of relationship the two of you previously had before. We're at home right now. Please stay within the bounds of your roles."

With a cold expression on his face, Lu Lixing was about to leave.

-- "Imminent death warning: Within the next half hour, gain understanding of your wife's emotional past and offer her appropriate comfort. Otherwise, please go die right now."

In the next moment, Ji Qingqing cried out in alarm. "Mr. Lu, what's wrong? Doctor! Where's the doctor?!"

After that chaotic moment passed, Lu Lixing was helped back to his room and onto his bed by Ji Qingqing and Lu Liting. Moreover, he expressed his refusal to communicate with others and seemed like he wanted to quietly wait for death.
