In which the System Torments the Protagonists: My Wife is My Life! - Chapter 20

Chapter 20 – Lu Liting, who was eavesdropping by the door: … F*ck! (2)

Although Ji Qingqing knew that Lu Liting had shown a twisted personality later in the novel, she hadn’t expected he would say something like that!

“Lu Liting, let me tell you. Dumping you was the best decision I ever made! I won’t regret it!”

“Ji Qingqing, you!”

“You’re scum!”

Ji Qingqing shoved him away and walked towards Lu Lixing’s room. Lu Liting was left standing there with a gloomy expression.

Inside Lu Lixing’s room, the curtains were closed in hopes that it would help Lu Lixing sleep better.

Ji Qingqing quietly walked over to Lu Lixing’s bed and sat down next to it. Seeing that Lu Lixing was deeply asleep, she sighed.

She had thought that by marrying into the Lu family, she would rid herself of worries for the future. Unexpectedly, she had walked into a wolf’s den. Right now, Lu Lixing was alive and so was Elder Lu, so Lu Liting wouldn’t dare to do anything to her. But, later on, once these two people passed away, she would probably reach rock bottom.

Lu Liting wasn’t wrong. Elder Lu wouldn’t let her inherit Lu Lixing’s accumulated wealth. Those assets belonged to the Lu family and would be inherited by a blood-related member of the Lu family. And so, eventually, that wealth would fall into Lu Liting’s hands.

“It would be so great if you could continue to live…” Ji Qingqing was a very empathetic person. It was easy for her to put herself in someone else’s shoes. It would be great if Lu Lixing didn’t die. Although she and Lu Lixing had no feelings for each other, if Lu Lixing was around, Lu Liting wouldn’t dare to act outrageously towards her.

Before she had transmigrated into the novel, she had dedicated her life to her messed up family. She had worked so hard in the first part of her life. And now, she had to clean up the mess created by the supporting female character, who had done a multitude of bad deeds. Ji Qingqing felt sad enough to want to die. These were her true feelings. She almost cried.

“Lu Lixing, how about this? I’ll give you half of my life. Please don’t die.”

Lu Lixing wasn’t actually asleep. He had been lying in bed and waiting for his death.

What was the point in living another day? He had lived for almost thirty years, but not a single day had been his to do as he pleased.

When he was younger, in addition to doing arduous schoolwork, he had to learn extra skills whether or not he liked them.

Those skills had been called his hobbies. But, how can they be his hobbies when he didn’t like them at all?

As an adult, he was responsible for the Lu family’s enterprise. His parents had died while he was young, and his younger brother had left home. His old grandfather could only rely on him.

Everyday, he had to mediate the major and minor conflicts that came up at work. There was never a carefree day for him.

Lu Lixing was mentally and physically exhausted.

The month after his car accident could be considered the most leisurely period of time in his life.

Actually, passing away in his sleep didn’t sound too bad. Lu Liting was back, so there would be someone to take care of his grandfather and the family business.

As for his weeping wife, Lu Lixing felt that maybe he owed her a big debt in his past life. Or, perhaps, there was enmity between them in a past life. She wanted him to live so badly. To the point that she was willing to give him half of her life!

“You want me to live that badly?”
