My Wife is My Life!
chapter-328

Ji Qingqing hesitatingly nodded her head. She didn’t want Lu Lixing to know about her deal with Xiao A. If Lu Lixing knew that she could only live until 50, 40, or even less… Lu Lixing is 30 this year, so he definitely doesn’t have much time left.

However, Lu Lixing still pressed on the matter. “But the system told me that it was you who saved me.”

Ji Qingqing was surprised yet uncertain at the same time. “You know about it?”

“Of course, I know. You made a deal with the system and chose to share your life with me.”

Ji Qingqing remained silent.

Lu Lixing continued to ask, “Do you know what it means to share your life with me?”

“I know,” Ji Qingqing said, biting her lower lip. “I saw a question before: Would you rather have fifty years of life and money that can’t be spent every day, or infinite life and poverty every day?”

“I chose the first one before, but now I think neither fifty years nor an infinite lifespan is important, my hope is that I’m able to spend it with you.”

She looked up at Lu Lixing, her eyes filled with grievance. “You’ve been deceiving me for so long, tricking me into giving you my entire self. You can’t just leave me now, even if you don’t have many years left.”

Lu Lixing suddenly laughed. “What do you mean I don’t have many years left?”

At the thought of this, Ji Qingqing’s eyes became foggy.

“You don’t even know what it means to share your life with me, yet you still agreed to the system’s deal?”

Ji Qingqing retorted, “You knew what the result would be if you didn’t complete your mission, but you still gave up on it. Why did you still do it?”

Lu Lixing was speechless for a moment. Then, he helplessly laughed and replied, “That’s not the same thing.”

“Why not? What’s the difference?”

“If you’re willing to give up your life for me, why can’t I share mine?”

“Although… there aren’t many years left, you can rest easy knowing that I will try to have a child sooner and I won’t let you leave with regret,” Ji Qingqing said firmly, gritting her teeth tightly.

She had already decided that she would prepare early from now on. Perhaps Lu Lixing would be able to live to see their child’s early years.

“Have a child?” Lu Liheng’s eyes gleamed dangerously.

“Yes!” Ji Qingqing said seriously, “Let’s have a child!”

Her serious expression completely ignited the long-suppressed desires that had been brewing in Lu Lixing’s heart.

He stood up, towering over her with his tall legs, and pressed her back, forcing Ji Qingqing to lean back and prop herself up on the bed with her hands, looking up at him.

“What are you doing? Your hand is still…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Lu Lixing covered her mouth and kissed her fiercely on the lips.

Ji Qingqing was forced to accept Lu Lixing’s kiss. Her eyes flickered to the wound on his hand. “Mmm…”

Hand!

“Forget about my hand, it won’t hurt to death,” Lu Lixing said, looking at her with burning eyes.

His gaze was as deep as a clear spring, gradually revealing hidden hints of the passion and desire he had kept suppressed for so long, that was now surging toward Ji Qingqing like a raging tidal wave.

***

Under the dim yellow light, the atmosphere between the two was just right.

Lu Lixing stood up and pressed Ji Qingqing down on the bed, holding Ji Qingqing’s hand tightly with one hand and protecting her head with the other.

The pillow sank and their breathing was intense as their noses collided. When their eyes locked, Ji Qingqing’s hand involuntarily tightened. A thin layer of fine sweat appeared from the tip of her nose to her forehead, then to her ears, neck, and back, and to her limbs. Her heart beat faster and faster.

Ji Qingqing blinked her eyes, her cheeks hot and flushed. An inexplicable emotion made her toes curl up as she looked nervously at the man in front of her.

It was a natural reaction, one that cannot be controlled when the heart was moved.

Lu Lixing suppressed his heavy breathing and surging feelings as he cautiously planted a kiss on Ji Qingqing’s nose.

The kiss was like a dragonfly skimming the water, different from any other kiss. The numbness went straight from her nose to her heart. It caused her heart to skip a beat, followed by more intense and stronger beats as loud as the drums used in war.

“Baby…”

Lu Lixing lowered his head and kissed her. Ji Qingqing knitted her brows, and in Lu Lixing’s murmured and unclear words, she unbelievably asked, “Baby?”

The distance between their lips was just a millimeter.

“Before, when you were at the film set, you said that ‘bao bao’ was the name of the dog that Aunt Pei raised. But Aunt Pei doesn’t have a dog, so when you said ‘bao bao,’ were you calling me that?”

Lu Lixing froze.

Ji Qingqing continued to ask blankly. “Do you think of me as a dog?”

Even though Lu Lixing was a person with great composure, he was also at a loss for words at this moment.

The pleasant atmosphere was destroyed by his calling her “baby.”

“Let me explain…” he said weakly as he slowly stood up.

Ji Qingqing looked at him seriously, “Speak, let me hear your explanation.”

“…” Looking at Ji Qingqing’s attentive expression, Lu Lixing was rendered speechless.

His previous guilt was still there, and if he didn’t explain it clearly, he might have to add another fault to his list.

He paused for a moment before squeezing out an explanation, “At that time, the system made me call you ‘baby’ three times within one day. I…”

This was indeed an awkward thing to talk about.

Lu Lixing continued to say a few words hesitantly and Ji Qingqing also guessed what had happened.

So she explained on Lu Lixing’s behalf. “You were embarrassed at the time, so you lied and said that the dog was called baby?”

Lu Lixing nodded his head.

When she remembered Lu Lixing’s strange behavior before, calling her “baby” in front of the crew members…

Ji Qingqing burst out laughing and said, “Now you know how I felt when you forced me to call you husband?”

Lu Lixing couldn’t help but laugh with her. Looking at Ji Qingqing’s expression of taking pleasure in others’ misfortune, he said in a low voice, “You make me want to do all those things I reluctantly did before, willingly again.”

“So, I think we should start by calling you ‘baby’.”

Ji Qingqing’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Before, I forced you to call me twenty-four times a day as ‘husband,’ so in the future, I’ll call you twenty-four times a day as ‘baby.’”

Baby?

She felt embarrassed when she heard Lu Lixing calling her that nickname when they were alone… Furthermore, now that he did it in front of others…

Just thinking about it made her feel ashamed.
