In which the System Torments the Protagonists: My Wife is My Life! - Chapter 21

Chapter 21 – Lu Liting, who was eavesdropping by the door: … F*ck! (3)

Lu Lixing opened his eyes and looked at the woman by his bed. Tears clung to her eyelashes.

“You… you’re awake?” Ji Qingqing was absorbed with thinking about her tragic fate and couldn’t quite free herself from it. “I’m your wife. Of course I hope that you’ll live and have a good life.”

“Would my wife have ambiguous interactions with my brother?”

Ji Qingqing sniffled. Choked up with emotions, she answered, “Don’t be angry. I’ll tell you the truth. Lu Liting was my first love, but back then, he was too poor. He couldn’t even afford a good bicycle. When I sat on the broken seat of his bicycle, my butt would hurt. People say they would rather sit on a bicycle and smile rather than sit in a BMW and cry. He had me sitting on a bicycle and made me cry. So, why can’t I break up with him? At that time, a wealthy second generation man happened to be pursuing me, so I broke up with Lu Liting.”

“But, that guy wasn’t a good person either. He didn’t like me. He just wanted to sleep with me!”

“Later, I entered the entertainment circle, and another rich jerk chased after me. He said he loved me, but he only watched when others bullied me. He said he would offer the world to me, but didn’t give me anything. In the end, he said we weren’t boyfriend and girlfriend. I was just a lover that he was raising.”

The more that Ji Qingqing spoke, the more she felt that the novel’s Ji Qingqing was so stupid.

When she should be pursuing love, she had pursued money. When it was time to pursue money, she pursued fantasies of love. It was her own fault that she ended up having nothing!

Lu Lixing hadn’t experienced what love felt like. But, he felt that the sight of Ji Qingqing crying and venting in front of him wasn’t annoying. In fact, he felt a certain spot in his heart softening. Her crying appearance was as beautiful as raindrops falling onto a pear blossom

“Don’t be so stupid in the future.”

— “Task completed. 2 points has been added to your life. You currently have two hours to live.”

Ji Qingqing nodded. “That won’t happen again.”

Right now, she was Lu Lixing’s wife. Even if Lu Lixing died, she would still be his widow. With that identity, Lu Liting wouldn’t dare to do anything to her while Elder Lu was still alive.

During that time, she would dredge up money. Once she had enough money, she would run away as soon as possible. She would find a place where no one could find her and live out the rest of her life happily. This could still be considered a good idea.

“Even though we only got married because Elder Lu looked for me to be your bride in hopes that a marriage would bring good luck to you, you’re my husband now. In the future, no matter what, you’ll be my hubby. Don’t worry, I’ll do a good job taking care of Elder Lu for you.”

— “1 point has been added to your life. You currently have three hours to live.”

Lu Lixing: ???

“Say those words again.”

“Ah? I said that even though Elder Lu sought me out, you don’t have to worry. I’m not a greedy person. I’ll take good care of him for you in the future.”

“… Just repeat your previous words exactly. Don’t add anything extra to it.”

Ji Qingqing repeated, “Even though we only got married because Elder Lu looked for me to be your bride in hopes that a marriage would bring good luck to you, you’re my husband now. In the future, no matter what, you’ll be my hubby. Don’t worry, I’ll do a good job taking care of Elder Lu for you.”

— “1 point has been added to your life. You currently have four hours to live.”
