Chapter 46 - Why was Lu Lixing still alive? (2)

-- "There's an eight hour reward for sharing a bed with Ji Qingqing, but eight hours have passed since you got into bed. These hours were used up to keep you alive."

"You f*cking..."

-- "Please don't swear at the system."

Lu Lixing's face was gloomy. "Honorable system, are you messing with me?"

-- "You're not suffering any losses. You gained eight hours of life by sharing a bed with Ji Qingqing. Besides, I'll help you recover your health."

He did his best to calm down and return his breathing to normal. Looking at Ji Qingqing, who was hiding underneath the blanket, he went forward to pull the blanket off her.

Ji Qingqing came out of the blanket like an ostrich that had been hiding its head in the ground. Her face was flushed from being under the blanket so long. Right after she had taken several gulps of breath. Lu Lixing forcefully cupped his hands around her face.

He pressed a kiss on her forehead.

Ji Qingqing: !!!

Gritting his teeth, Lu Lixing said, "Good morning, wifey."

-- "Task completed. 1 point has been added to your life. You currently have three hours to live."

This was... a good morning kiss?

Ji Qingqing froze in place. Looking at Lu Lixing's face and his clenched jaw, it didn't seem as if he had given her a good morning kiss out of sincere feelings. She didn't dare to move.

Elder Lu and Aunty Pei also felt the scene before them was strange.

"What should you say in return?"

For a moment, Ji Qingqing was too stunned to come up with an answer. "Good morning?"

"What else?"

The corners of Ji Qingqing's lips twitched. "Good morning, hubby."

-- "1 point has been added to your life. You currently have four hours to live."

"Say that again."

"... Good morning, hubby."

-- "1 point has been added to your life. You currently have five hours to live."

"Again."

Ji Qingqing got angry. What was Lu Lixing trying to do? Was he taking advantage of Elder Lu and Aunty Pei's presence to intimidate her?

Who didn't know that there were no feelings between them? They only had a contract marriage. Why was he putting on a show of a loving couple?

The kindly Elder Lu coughed to interrupt them. He couldn't stand to keep watching and hearing their interactions. He and Aunty Pei were both here. How could his grandson turn a blind eye to them? It was so early in the morning, and his grandson was kissing and hugging Ji Qingqing. How improper.

"Lixing, Doctor Zhao is probably anxious to see you."

Lu Lixing let off Ji Qingqing for now. He got out of bed.

The sound of footsteps went from nearby to faraway. There were no other sound left in the bedroom.

Ji Qingqing thought everyone had left, but when she turned her head, she saw that Aunty Pei was still standing in the room. Aunty Pei was looking at her with a big smile.

"Aunty Pei..." Ji Qingqing awkwardly said.

Smiling, Aunty Pei helped Ji Qingqing pull up the pajama top that had fallen off her shoulder. "Qingqing, don't be scared. Elder Lu and I both understand."

As a woman that had worked for the Lu family for half her life, how could Aunty Pei not be able to see what kind of person Ji Qingqing was. She could clearly understand the matter.

It was even less likely that Elder Lu, who had been alive longer than her, would misunderstand.

The stone in Ji Qingqing's heart fell down. It was fine as long as they didn't misunderstand her and think she was a temptress.

"Aunty Pei, thank you."

Aunty Pei smiled. "No need to be polite. You should wash up and go downstairs for breakfast."

After saying this, she got up and left.

Once Aunty Pei left, Ji Qingqing punched the spot that Lu Lixing had been sleeping in to vent her anger. Her usual good mood in the morning had been utterly ruined by Lu Lixing, that jerk! She was going to be angered to death by him!!!

What good morning kiss? That jerk!

What husband would give his wife a good morning kiss with that expression?

How was that a good morning kiss? Lu Lixing looked like he wanted to eat her!

Lu Lixing that bastard! He clearly just wanted to embarrass her in front of Elder Lu and Aunty Pei!

Ji Qingqing resentfully kicked Lu Lixing's pillow. She felt so regretful.

She shouldn't have been soft-hearted last night and allowed Lu Lixing to sleep in her bed!

He better hope that he was never at her mercy in the future!

T/N: Even though its very discouraging and frustrating that there's a poacher for STP and seemingly a lot of people who enjoy reading barely edited MTL, I will continue to translate STP. I want to rant about this, but I know that would be counterproductive, so I’ll do my best to refrain. Ugh. I’ll just treat this as accidentally stepping in dog poop and move on.
