Chapter 8 - Lu Lixing's eyebrows were deeply furrowed; it felt as if he was attending his own funeral (1)

"Wait..."

Ji Qingqing's hand was already on the doorknob when she heard him speak. She turned back to look at Lu Lixing. Seeing him suddenly making an ugly expression, she assumed that it was because he wasn't feeling well. She quickly walked over. "What's wrong? Are you okay?" After saying this, she was about to push the button by the bedside to call a doctor over.

Lu Lixing grabbed her wrist to stopped her.

"I'm okay."

Pulled forward and down because of his grip on her wrist, Ji Qingqing had no choice but to lower her head and look at Lu Lixing face to face. Under the close distance, her sight was narrowed to just Lu Lixing's face. A man's scent entered her nose. Ji Qingqing's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, a thin layer of sweat gathered on her palms, and her face flushed red.

She had to admit that Lu Lixing was a very handsome man. The bridge of his nose was tall and straight, his facial features were well-defined, and his eyes were deep. Perhaps, it was because he was used to being in the higher position and bossing people around. A single look from him was enough to make her blush and not dare say a word.

Ji Qingqing blinked. She dropped her gaze to look at the clean hand forcefully holding onto her wrist.

His hand was well-defined too, and his palm was cool.

Ji Qingqing abruptly pulled her wrist out of Lu Lixing's grasp and rubbed the red mark left behind by his forceful grip.

“Ji Qingqing……”Lu Lixing closed his eyes. "When I said that you should straighten out your identity, I meant that since you're someone my grandfather found for me to be my wife and you've received his approval, it means that starting from today, you're my... wifey."

-- "Last minute."

Lu Lixing: "Do you understand... wifey?"

Ji Qingqing looked at him doubtfully.

She wasn't an idiot. How could she have misunderstood the intention behind his earlier words, tone, and expression?

Wasn't he warning her to not act outrageously just because she had married him on paper?

Why had he suddenly changed his stance and acknowledged her as his wife?

Ji Qingqing went through the motions by answering, "I understand."

Lu Lixing's eyes narrowed. "Since you understand, how should you address me in the future?"

Ji Qingqing summoned up the courage to probingly ask, ""Mr. Lu?"

-- "Last thirty seconds."

Lu Lixing's expression sunk. "We're husband and wife!"

"... Lixing?" Why was he being so mean?!

-- "Last twenty seconds."

Feeling a dull pain in his heart, Lu Lixing took a deep breath and said, "Wifey!"

Oh.

She understood now.

Lu Lixing wanted her to call him hubby to assert his claim over her?

Hadn't the novel said that Lu Lixing had an abnormal degree of possessiveness over his things?

But, this was their first time meeting, and he wanted her to call him hubby.

She hadn't even dated before. And now, she was going to skip a step and be directly promoted to wifey?

Ji Qingqing, who had been single for over twenty years, felt a bit resistant. She turned around to leave. She didn't feel like pandering to him.

However, as Ji Qingqing was turning around, Lu Lixing grabbed her wrist again. He had used too much force; Ji Qingqing was pulled towards the bed and ended up falling onto his chest.

Ji Qingqing had never met such a shameless person!

"What are you doing?!"
