In which the System Torments the Protagonists: My Wife is My Life! - Chapter 14

Chapter 14 – Imminent death warning: within the next five minutes, hold hands with Ji Qingqing. (3)

Lu Lixing couldn’t connect his wife, who hadn’t done anything too annoying yet, to the person described by the netizens. According to these netizens, she was arrogant, despotic, and shallow.

Rather than believe in the words of others, Lu Lixing would rather believe his own eyes and his own experiences with that person.

Ji Qingqing carefully recollected what she knew from the news and honestly explained, “I’m not quite sure about the specifics. I seem to have pushed her. She ended up with multiple bone fractures from falling down the hill. She got a deep cut on her face too. She’s willing to settle this out of court if I pay her twenty million yuan. Otherwise, she’s going to file a formal lawsuit so that I go to jail.”

Ji Qingqing honestly didn’t know if Shen Weiwei’s injuries had anything to do with the novel’s Ji Qingqing. But, in all fairness, although the novel’s Ji Qingqing was arrogant and dislikeable, she had never physically harmed another person. Shen Weiwei was the female lead in the novel, and she wasn’t a straightforward person that was easy to deal with. And so, Ji Qingqing couldn’t tell for sure what the actual truth of the matter was.

“Do you know who owns Tianyu Entertainment?”

“Yes, it’s…”

“It’s mine.”

Ji Qingqing felt as if her heart had stopped for a few seconds before it resumed beating quickly.

Oh right, she had forgotten about this. In the novel, once the male lead returned to the Lu family, Tianyu Entertainment would spare no efforts in promoting the female lead. It was because Tianyu Entertainment was one of the many companies owned by the Lu Family. In the novel, Lu Lixing would be dying in the next two days, so it was only right for the male lead to return home and take over the Lu family’s financial empire. But now, Lu Lixing hadn’t died yet. So, of course, Tianyu Entertainment was under Lu Lixing’s control.

Since she had married Lu Lixing, didn’t that make her the Tianyu Entertainment’s boss’s wife?

Ji Qingqing had been worried that if she stayed in the entertainment industry she would be crowded and bullied out like the novel’s Ji Qingqing. But, her fortune had suddenly and unexpectedly taken a turn, and she was now a partial owner of Tianyu Entertainment.

Even if she didn’t publicly announce her marriage with Lu Lixing, the Lu’s wouldn’t just watch as she was being bullied, right?

Or, after Lu Lixing died and she resolved the issue with Shen Weiwei, she could simply take her inheritance as his widow and hastily leave the entertainment industry to avoid being an eyesore to the male lead and female lead.

Lu Lixing put the tablet down. He rubbed the spot between his eyebrows. He calmly looked at her and deliberately made his voice sound colder. “We don’t have any foundational affection for each other, and I know why you married me. I know that people in the entertainment circle pay the most attention to an actress’s marriage partner, so it can be up to you whether or not to publicize our marriage. As for the matter with Shen Weiwei, you don’t have to worry about that. I’ll have that matter clearly investigated. You won’t have to worry about any future consequences. But, I have a condition.”

“What’s the condition?”

“You must be available to see me at any time.”

Overcontrolling?

Lu Lixing was a control freak. Anything that belonged to him, he wouldn’t let anyone else lay even a finger on it.

Ji Qingqing secretly thought to herself; I’m going to be attending your funeral in two days. How many times could we possibly meet before then? What’s the point in having me be available to see you at any time?

“Although we’re husband and wife, you don’t have to worry. I’m not interested in you. I won’t touch you.” Lu Lixing stood up and walked around the desk to pour himself a glass of water. “I’ll have Aunty Pei arranged a seperate room for you. Without my permission, don’t enter my room.”

Ji Qingqing rolled her eyes.

Even if Lu Lixing was interested in her, in his current physical state, he wouldn’t be able to do anything.

Anyways, she wasn’t eager to spend time with him. She had only agreed to come here to take care of him because of Old Master Lu. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have bothered.

” You don’t have to worry, Mr. Lu. I have self-awareness. I’ll do exactly as you asked me too.”

Ji Qingqing walked around the desk and towards the door.

— “Imminent death warning: within the next five minutes, hold hands with Ji Qingqing.”

Lu Lixing’s hand faltered. He almost dropped the glass of water he was holding.
