In which the System Torments the Protagonists: My Wife is My Life! - Chapter 7

Chapter 7 – Imminent death warning. Within the next five minute, please call Ji Qingqing wifey and get her to call you hubby. (3)

“Elder Lu, I know that you love your grandson, but the injuries that Mr. Lu got from that car accident are too serious. He’s been hanging onto his last breath during the past month. For us to continue treating him, it’ll only be prolonging his pain.”

The doctor pushed his gold frame glasses higher on his nose. Sighing, he said, “As a doctor, the only advice I can give you is to do your best so that Mr. Lu doesn’t leave behind any regrets during his last days.”

Elder Lu abruptly tightened his grip on his Buddhist prayer beads. He had watched his grandson from childhood to adulthood. He had still been looking forward to watching him get married and have children and see their happy family. But now, this old man would be the one attending a young person’s funeral!

Elder Lu took a few tottering steps back.

The doctor hastily lent a supporting hand. “Elder Lu, you have be careful with your body.”

Elder Lu closed in eyes in disappointment. “I understand. Head Doctor Chen, thank you and your hospital for treating my grandson during this period of time!”

“We only did what we should.”

The door to the hospital room was closed. Only Lu Lixing and Ji Qingqing were left in the room.

Ji Qingqing looked at the weak and pale man on the bed. Endless pity arose in her eyes.

What a pity, his body had weakened to such a state. Who knows how many days he had left? Perhaps, one night, he would go to sleep and not wake up again. Right now, it was just his last burst of energy before he would be gone like the final radiance before the sun set.

Ji Qingqing tucked a corner of the quilt for him. God had given this man an impeccable appearance, an illustrious family, a wise mind, and reaching the pinnacle of his career. But, at the same time, he would die young.

Towards people that would die soon, Ji Qingqing was always slightly more soft-hearted.

“Wife?” Without being aware, Lu Lixing rubbed that tucked quilt corner between his fingertips. His tone was indifferent, and she couldn’t figure out what emotions he was feeling right now. “You’re the wife that my grandfather found for me. I don’t have any opinions.”

“I don’t know why Elder Lu chose me to be your wife either, but, since I’m your wife already, I’ll properly care for you in the following days.” She hoped that she could let him pass on without regrets.

Lu Lixing’s chilly eyes stared unwaveringly at her. There was a stirring undercurrent in his eyes, but there was no inkling of what he was thinking.

He had seen too many women. Those women had been praised as celestial beauties by others, but they couldn’t attract his desire.

But, this woman was different. If she stayed by his side, he could continue to live.

“I don’t know anything about you. As you’ve said, you don’t know why grandfather chose you to be my wife. I’m not sure why he did that either. But I hope in the days to come, you’ll straightened out your identity.”

Ji Qingqing knew that this person had a cold temperament and wasn’t close to any women. Based on his tone, she guessed that he wasn’t satisfied with her.

But when she thought about it, it made sense. What man would be able to easily accept gaining a wife that he had never seen before?

Lu Lixing’s complexion was pale. After lying in bed for a month, his body had started to waste away. Ji Qingqing silently sighed. Did he not care about his own body at all? He was already in such a state, but he was still seriously discussing the issue of her identity.

“I understand. Don’t worry. I won’t claim to be your wife in front of outsiders.

Elder Lu was still discussing Lu Lixing’s condition in the hallway and hadn’t come back yet. With only the two of them in the room, it felt somewhat awkward.

“Have a good rest. I’ll leave.” Ji Qingqing smiled and got up to leave.

Ji Qingqing could understand why Lu Lixing’s attitude would be poor right now.

Anyone that had a life-threatening car accident, lay in a hospital bed for a month, didn’t have many days left to live, and randomly gained a wife would be in a bad mood.

She wasn’t an obtuse person. If she stayed here, Lu Lixing probably wouldn’t have any peace during his final days. Since that was the case, why stay here and annoy him with her presence?

— “Imminent death warning. Within the next five minute, please call Ji Qingqing wifey and get her to call you hubby.”

Lu Lixing, “Why?”

— “The two of you are already husband and wife. Of course, you have to address each other that way. Please call Ji Qingqing wifey and get her to call you hubby.”

Lu Lixing: …
