My Wife is My Life!-Novel

That streak of orange sunset finally sank below the horizon. Meanwhile, on the beach, the bonfire made crackling noises as it swayed in the wind.

Ji Qingqing and the other attendees sat before a long table. They had already finished their meal, so fruits were being served. The group of people made small talk and chatted from time to time, however, it was clearly obvious that the main star tonight was Lin Zhen.

Within the span of dinner, Lin Zhen and Chen Shuyi had gotten so affectionate that they were acting as if there was no one around them. They ignored the fact that Ji Qingqing and Lu Lixing were even present at the table. Even the surrounding staff and the cameras didn’t faze them either. Seeing how passionate they were, Ji Qingqing couldn’t help but cringe.

“Hubby, did you plan all these for me? Why wasn’t I told anything beforehand?”

“If you knew, would it still be a surprise then?”

“That ring was so expensive, but you still went ahead to buy it anyway.”

“It’s something that you like so regardless of how expensive it is, it’s definitely worth it.”

“Hubby, I want to eat that…”

“Ah—”

After silently shifting her gaze to the fruit platter, Ji Qingqing glanced at Lu Lixing who was the epitome of “silence is golden.” It was still fine if there wasn’t anyone to compare to, but now that there was Chen Shuyi, Lu Lixing seemed like a block of wood.

There wasn’t a single reaction from him.

Even though Ji Qingqing’s heart was crying out loud, she maintained a calm smile on her face.

As a career woman, she shouldn’t spend the whole day being affected by all this lovey-dovey stuff. If Lu Lixing wants to be affectionate then sure, but if he doesn’t then so be it. Well, it’s not as if she lacks money or ability. She’ll work hard to earn money and buy one for herself. She’ll be her own queen!

“Hubby, thank you for the blue sapphire ring. I really like it.”

She moved closer to Lu Lixing and whispered, “Hubby, which auction did you buy Lin Zhen’s blue sapphire ring at?”

“I was feeling curious. You said it was bought yesterday, but it arrived today…”

Lu Lixing lowered his voice. “It was sent over this morning. They’re too inefficient.”

“…” It looks like it’s an auction she won’t be able to attend.

After they did enough of their public display of affection, the two of them eventually noticed that they had neglected Ji Qingqing and Lu Lixing for a good while. The other couple’s expressions didn’t seem apologetic, instead, they just smiled back at the both of them. “What are the both of you looking at, help yourselves to the food!”

Ji Qingqing looked at the fruit platter on the table and awkwardly gave a polite smile.

“Oh, look at the time now.” Chen Shuyi glanced at the sky. “It’s getting rather late, so let’s call it a day?”

Lin Zhen looked at the time. “It’s 7.45.”

“It’s that late? It’s almost 8.” Chen Shuyi immediately pointed it out. “Lixing, look, it’s almost eight. Quickly bring back Qingqing to go back and rest. Me and Lin Zhen will be going back too.”

Ji Qingqing’s brow was so furrowed that it could crush a fly.

8 was considered late? They only chatted for a couple of minutes.

Their plates had been collected just now and they didn’t even get to have a bite of the fruit.

Lu Lixing seemed unbothered by it and stood up. “All right then, we’ll be leaving first.

Saying that, he nodded to Ji Qingqing to stand up. The two couples left the dining table and went back separately to their rooms to rest.

Once they reached their hotel room, they were greeted with a gust of cold air. Ji Qingqing felt uncomfortable as her body was sticky and sweaty. She gave a little grumble. “I’ll be going to bathe first.”

The next minute, she took her clothes and went inside the bathroom.

The door closed. Meanwhile, Lu Lixing sat on the sofa, deep in thought. Eventually, he took out his phone and searched: ‘Ways to propose romantically.’

He saw that Baidu had generated 16,400,000 relevant search results for him.

As Lu Lixing scrolled down and looked at the search results, his brow creased tighter and tighter.

——Couples need to see this! Ways to propose romantically to win the heart of the girl of your dreams!

The website showed a picture of a man along with his group of buddies driving 100 luxurious Ferrari cars to his girlfriend’s workplace for the proposal.

Lu Lixing’s brow tightened as he closed the page.

Then he saw ‘Proposal Planning Live Online.’

He clicked on the link and realized that it was an for a planning company. Lu Lixing wanted to close it, but it was already too late. A chat box pop-up appeared on the page and it sent over a couple of messages.

——Bro, do you need a wedding proposal plan? How much is your budget? I’ll help you and I guarantee that your partner will be so touched that it’ll make her cry!

The words ‘make her cry’ caught Lu Lixing’s attention.

Immediately, a couple of messages appeared on the chat box.

——How much is your budget?

——Click on me if your budget is 1,000 rmb~

——Click on me if your budget is 10,000 rmb~

——Click on me if your budget is 100,000 rmb~

——Click on me if your budget is 200,000 rmb~

Lu Lixing shook his head. The budget was too low. Nope.

He closed the page and continued to scroll down.

Flowers, balloons, they’re too cliche.

All rejected.

He exited the page and called Chen Shuyi.

The phone rang for a long while before Chen Shuyi answered.

On the other end, Chen Shuyi sounded quite irritated. “Why did you call me at such a late hour?”

“I wanted to ask you to help me out with something.”

“Help with what? Is it urgent? If it’s not urgent, we can wait till tomorrow.”

“It’s urgent.”

Chen Shuyi lowered his voice. “What is it?”

“I want to propose to Ji Qingqing, but I don’t have a good wedding proposal idea. You’re rather creative, so help me tonight.”

“Tonight? That urgent?”

“Yes.”
