Chapter 13 - Imminent death warning: within the next five minutes, hold hands with Ji Qingqing. (2)

Ji Qingqing had a soft heart. She couldn't bear to disappoint Old Master Lu, who was so devoted to his grandson.

"Elder Lu, don't worry. I'll take good care of Mr. Lu during this period of time."

Old Master Lu smiled kindly and said, "Good child, go on. Go to Lixing's room to keep him company. I need some quiet time by myself."

Ji Qingqing nodded. When she got to the second floor, she saw Elder Lu's exhausted and stooped over figure that remained unmoving in the living room.

When she pushed open the door to Lu Lixing's room, she saw that Lu Lixing had gotten out of bed and was sitting in an office chair by the bed. He was holding a tablet and looking at the screen.

Ji Qingqing's eyebrows furrowed. His health was already at such a poor state. Why was he was stubbornly working instead of resting?

She knew that Lu Lixing was a workaholic. He was the type of person that wanted to work 20 hours a day. There was even a record of Lu Lixing working nonstop for 72 hours.

But, that was back when Lu Lixing was in good health. Right now, Lu Lixing was on the cusp of death. With his current poor physical state, how could he still continue working?

Even if his body was as strong as iron, it could still be ruined.

Ji Qingqing truly felt that this person was too thoughtless about his own body. She walked to his side in a few steps and snatched the tablet out of his hand.

She placed the tablet on a desk. She knew that she was being a busybody, but seeing how horribly Lu Lixing treated his body and how he was recklessly depleting his life energy, she felt the need to say something, "Mr. Lu, I know it's not my place to say anything. But, you just came back from the hospital. The doctor has already clearly stated your body's physical condition. You need to go back to bed and rest properly. It can't be that you think work is more important than your health, right?"

Lu Lixing had frozen in surprise when his tablet was taken away. His gaze finally went from the desk to Ji Qingqing.

Lu Lixing raised his eyebrows. "Are you telling me what to do?"

"Do you think I want to care about you? If it wasn't because..." Ji Qingqing wanted to say, if it wasn't because she knew he was going to die soon, then there's no way she would bother with him!

But, she swallowed those words down before they escaped her mouth. It would be too cruel to say these words to a dying person. Instead, she said, "If Elder Lu wasn't so worried about you that he can't even sleep well, I wouldn't bother trying to help you take care of yourself!"

Ji Qingqing felt so envious that Lu Lixing had such a caring grandfather. She had never experienced the familial love from her own family that Old Master Lu gave to his grandson. And so, when she saw that Lu Lixing didn't take his grandfather's worries seriously, a fierce anger rose up in her heart.

This bastard! He didn't appreciate his good fortune at all!

"Besides, didn't you say that I'm your wife? As your wife... Don't I have the right to voice my thoughts about how you're mistreating your body?" Ji Qingqing's words were clearly lacking in confidence. Her voice was even somewhat shaky. She knew the real reason why she had agreed to become Lu Lixing. Thus, her voice wasn't very convincing.

Besides, it wasn't a good idea to offend Lu Lixing. If Lu Lixing hadn't died early on in the novel, even the novel's protagonist wouldn't have been his match.

Hearing Ji Qingqing's words, Lu Lixing's mood took a different turn. "I wasn't working."

The stern expression on Ji Qingqing's face turned to a surprised one. She turned her head to look at the tablet on the desk. The contents on the screen was information about her.

Lu Lixing, who had been in a coma for a month and gained a wife right after waking up, thought it was necessary to learn more about his wife.

There were plenty of comments about his wife online, but most of it was negative.

According to these comments, she bullied newcomers in the entertainment industry, snatched parts from other actresses, was a plaything for a rich man, involved other actors in madeup drama to promote herself, and had poor acting skills. It was all negative publicity. Most of the Weibo topics that mentioned Ji Qingqing were demands that she leave the entertainment industry.

Recently, she had even been charged with a criminal chase.

Ji Qingqing's strong stance immediately weakened. Her face stiffened. A while later, she finally forced out a smile that didn't look too embarrassed. "Even if you're not working... The doctor said you should be resting. You can't tire yourself out. Whatever you want to know about me, just ask and I'll tell you."

She knew that Lu Lixing was a person that approached everything in life methodically. She was someone that he knew nothing about and had never met before today. For a reason unknown to him, she had become his wife. Of course, he would want to gain a thorough understanding of her.

Lu Lixing glanced at her. "Why are you being sued by Shen Weiwei for twenty million yuan?"
