BXBX NOVEL Chapter 93
“Thank you for the beautiful roses today. But…why did you send me roses and pick me up from work?”
Lu Lixing blurted out the excuse he frequently used, “Grandpa told me to come home early today and I wanted to pick up from work, so you can go home with me. Grandpa will be very happy when he sees that we’re on good terms.”
“Oh.” Ji Qingqing’s head drooped when she heard his explanation.
His explanation was like another slap to her face.
She almost thought that he actually liked her, but it turned out to only be her wishful thinking. Fortunately, she didn’t say that out loud, otherwise, she would’ve humiliated herself.
He drove the car out of the parking lot as he turned the corner. The scene turned from bright once they exited the underground parking lot.
Lu Lixing narrowed his eyes slightly as he suddenly remembered something. He nonchalantly asked her, “Do you like to give belts as gifts?”
She couldn’t deduce whether his tone was happy or unhappy.
Ji Qingqing was taken aback for a moment due to his sudden question. Could he be talking about the belt that she gave to Gu Shaoyu? The one where she forced Gu Shaoyu to take off in broad daylight and then stepped on it like trash?
Why did he ask this question without rhyme or reason?
Didn’t he just tell her not to mention things that had happened in the past?
“No, it was because I couldn’t think of what to give him at that time. So, I just bought a belt casually and gifted it to him,” Ji Qingqing said. Ji Qingqing realized that her explanation was not right because she also gave Lu Lixing a belt before. She sneaked a peek at Lu Lixing’s face before she smiled quickly and said, “However, I had selected the belt that I gave you with a lot of care because you’re my husband.”
After she finished speaking, she felt that her explanation wasn’t convincing enough, so she solemnly added, “It’s also more expensive than the one I bought for him!”
——“Life value +1, the Host’s current life value is 13 hours.”
“More expensive? How much more expensive?”
“It was two hundred dollars more expensive than him…” Ji Qingqing discovered that the mood in the car was quite serious and dangerous, so she earnestly said, “It doesn’t matter whether the belt is expensive or not. How much is a belt worth? The most important thing is the sincerity behind the gift that I gave you!”
Lu Lixing glanced at her and asked, “Your sincerity? Isn’t Gu Shaoyu the person you like?”
How should she explain this?
The original owner of the body was in love with Gu Shaoyu. She was in a relationship with him because she thought they would eventually get married because of love. She never anticipated that Gu Shaoyu was just a rich young master that liked to play around. He never reciprocated her love and even played around with other women when they were together.
“I think I liked him before?” She looked at Lu Lixing’s face; the expression on his face was gradually turning gloomy. Ji Qingqing continued speaking, “But my delusions about him were all broken after I saw Gu Shaoyu’s true character. I gave him that belt before I found out about his true character. If I had known that he was a player, then I wouldn’t have dated him even if you beat me to death.”
Lu Lixing’s eyes darkened, and the volume of his voice increased, “Do you still have delusions about him?”
Ji Qingqing had a bitter expression on her face. Why was Lu Lixing so similar to other men? They’re all interested in a woman’s relationship history.
“Weren’t you the one who said not to mention things that happened in the past?”
Lu Lixing looked at her and asked, “I can’t ask about it?”
“Yes, you can ask! I wasn’t very sensible when I was young, and I always had unrealistic fantasies,” Ji Qingqing smiled and continued, “many young girls longed for love and marriage.”
Lu Lixing was silently looking at the road; he was concentrating on driving, but he was also listening to Ji Qingqing.
There was a small traffic jam on their way home. When the traffic light turned red, the car slowed down and stopped in front of the crosswalk.
To the right side of the car, there was a man driving an electric car. There was a woman sitting next to him and she would whisper something in the man’s ear from time to time. The man would turn around and say something in response. The couple talked and laughed; they appeared to be a very intimate and loving couple.
