NovelEnglish“Mr. Lu, I’ve heard so much about you. What brings you here?” Director Zhou stretched his hand out for a handshake.
There were a couple of sponsors for this drama, and Tianyu Entertainment was one of them. Thinking about it, Lu Lixing could be counted as one of his investors too.
Lu Lixing looked behind him and fixated his gaze on Ji Qingqing. He briefly responded, “You’re too courteous. I’m here today to visit someone.”
“Visit?” Director Zhou looked behind him. Puzzled, he asked, “Who are you visiting?”
“Ji Qingqing.”
Taken aback, Director Zhou subconsciously asked, “Ji Qingqing?”
Without waiting for his reaction, Lu Lixing walked towards Ji Qingqing.
Both Ji Qingqing and Wen Rou were in the midst of enjoying their meal when a shadow hovered over them. Ji Qingqing raised her head and her gaze turned from being confused to one of astonishment. “Why are you here?”
“To bring you lunch,” Lu Lixing replied.

Stares from all directions gathered over and the murmurings continued.
Though Ji Qingqing did not quite believe it, “You specially came here to give me this?” she asked.
Lu Lixing nodded.
“Thanks,” a smile spread across her face.
Director Zhou had been standing beside Lu Lixing. His bewildered gaze traveled between the two and he was hesitant to speak.
“Director Zhou, would you like to eat with us?” seeing that he was still standing there with the same expression on his face, Ji Qingqing quickly handed a pair of chopsticks to him.
“No, no, take your time, eat it without me” Director Zhou waved his hands repeatedly, declining.
He didn’t dare to eat.
Lu Lixing then spoke, “Director Zhou, you may head off first if you’re busy.”
“Alright Mr. Lu, please make yourself comfortable here.”
Jing Qingqing looked at Director Zhou as he left the room in good spirits and slowly sat down.
Lu Lixing went to sit next to her. He looked around and asked as if nothing had happened, “How do you feel about your first day at work?”
“Quite good. And let me tell you a secret, I even saw a good ‘show’!” Ji Qingqing laughed and put the packed lunch aside.
Lu Lixing raised his eyebrows, “A good show? What show?”
“Well if you want to know, I’ll tell you about it at night,” she replied mysteriously.
“I’ll tell you about it at night,” these words made Jiang Su and Qi Jingyun who were coming forward to greet stop in their tracks. And the smiles on their faces stiffened. They looked at each other and saw the shock and disbelief in each other’s eyes. ’
Since when did Ji Qingqing get involved with Lu Lixing?
“What time do you end work?”
“It’s still early though, I have not filmed any scenes from 9 to 11, I guess the scene that I’ll be filming at night will be delayed too.”

Hubby?
Hearing that, Director Zhou who hadn’t walked that far inhaled sharply.
And the staff around them who had been listening nearly choked on their lunches.
——“Life point +1. Current life points are worth 6 hours.”
Lu Lixing took the chopsticks she handed him. He narrowed his eyes and pondered over how he could get her to call him ‘Hubby’ a couple more times. All of a sudden, a voice could be heard in his mind.
——“Considering the issue of fairness, we’ve specially assigned you a daily mission. Please select the following pet names to address your wife Ji Qingqing: Baby, Babe, My dear, Darling. Your life points will increase slightly each time you say them out. The minimum requirement for this task would be to complete it 3 times a day. And the penalty for not completing would be a deduction of 3 life points.”
Lu Lixing froze in place. ‘Ka Cha,’ the chopsticks in his hands were bent out of shape.
“You call this, fair and just?!” he exclaimed.
The system remained silent.
“…Are there any more alternatives?”
——“Yes dear. How about, Precious, Precious Little, Sweetheart, Precious little Qingqing~”
Lu Lixing (thought) he felt a twinge of pain in his chest.
Just how does Ji Qingqing even manage to address him as ‘hubby’ without cringing? He couldn’t fathom it.
