BXBX NOVEL Chapter 107
“I have investigated, and it turns out that Qingqing is a very filial child. She had sent money to her family over the years. You and Qingqing should discuss to see when it is appropriate for the two of you to visit her family.”
Lu Lixing opened his mouth to say something, but he was immediately interrupted by Old Lu.
“Put your job on hold for now. Do you have to come up with new ideas for all the projects in your company? You have hundreds of employees in the company, why do you need to do everything yourself? Are your employees useless or what? It was fine since you weren’t in a relationship before, but now that you have a family, you can’t just ignore your family and work all day. Come home on time, and don’t stay overtime. Don’t head to work on the weekends, stay home. Don’t head out to the company early in the morning and return home late at night. In the past, I barely had the chance to even see you once in half a month.”
Lu Lixing was unable to respond. Old Lu stared at him and continued, “There is an unlimited amount of money to be earned. This is a big company; it won’t collapse in a month just because you’re not there. You don’t need to worry about everything.”
After being nagged by Old Lu, Lu Lixing could only sigh helplessly, “Grandpa, don’t worry anymore. I will discuss this matter with Qingqing.”
“Then this matter is settled,” Old Lu turned the Buddhist beads in his hand, “the two of you can discuss the matter by yourself. Both of you are adults, so I shouldn’t need to help you with this.”
Lu Lixing stood up, “I’ll be leaving first if there is nothing else.”
Old Lu waved his hand and dismissed him. He had a satisfied smile on his face.
As soon as Lu Lixing came out of the study, he ran into Aunt Pei when he opened the door.
“Aunt Pei, you are…”
Aunt Pei looked inside the study and then closed the door. She looked at Lu Lixing strangely and whispered, “Did the old master ask you to go ask your wife’s family for her hand in marriage?”
Lu Lixing nodded his head.
Aunt Pei’s smile deepened when she heard his response, “I have already expected this to happen, so I helped you prepare all the gifts in advance. On the date you plan on visiting your wife’s maternal family, you can just take the gifts I have prepared. I made sure the gifts are suitable, so you don’t need to worry about it.”
Aunt Pei took care of Lu Lixing since he was a child. After working for the Lu Family for many years, she still hadn’t been married or had children. As a result, she had regarded Lu Lixing as her son. Her only wish was to see him get married and start a family. She felt that since he was a busy man, it was quite impossible for him to take care of everything, so she wanted to help him as much as possible.
Lu Lixing knew about Aunt Pei’s kind intentions. He smiled at her and said, “Thank you for your troubles.”
“There is no need to thank me. It’s best if you can settle this marriage as soon as possible. This way, the old master will be able to finally relax and people will stop gossiping behind your back. Nothing can compare to giving your wife a wedding.”
“You can rest assured; I know what to do.”
Aunt Pei was perfectly satisfied with his response.
Lu Lixing walked back to his study and pulled out Ji Qingqing’s resume from Tianyu Entertainment.
Her parents are still alive, and she has a younger brother and younger sister. She came from an average background.
Meeting her parents…
Lu Lixing pondered over those thoughts for a while, then he looked at the picture of her family and fell into a long silence.

It was 3 o’clock in the afternoon when Ji Qingqing groggily woke up.
She was too excited about working last night that she wasn’t able to sleep a wink. Her great aunt came earlier this morning, so she was in pain the whole day. In addition to that, she had to race to the company and then work in the studio. Shortly after she entered the car with Lu Lixing, she fell asleep.
She turned to the other side and went back to sleep. When she woke up again, it was already 4 o’clock in the afternoon. The sunlight outside the window was slowly fading.
She glanced at her phone and saw that there was a WeChat message from Lu Lixing: Are you up?
Ji Qingqing replied: I’m up.
