BXBX NOVEL Chapter 267
Meanwhile, far away at the Lu residence, Old Lu didn’t get to rest for the whole afternoon. He had to answer the calls one after another and his phone kept ringing non-stop.
“Old Lu, congratulations, you’re about to have a daughter-in-law. To be able to marry such a pretty young girl, Li Lixing, this kid is quite capable.”
“Old sir, congratulations congratulations, such a big joyous event. When the time comes, remember to give me a call.”
“Old Lu, aren’t you sneaky. Such a huge event, why didn’t you tell me in advance; I only ended up finding out about it now. You really did a good job in hiding this!”
Old Lu made small talk for the whole afternoon and it entirely disrupted his plans to go fishing. He hung up his phone and his eyebrows stiffened. “I haven’t even announced it publicly. How come… those old guys know about it? How did they find out?”
Aunt Pei smiled as she poured him a glass of water. “Old Sir, earlier the young master called and told me. He said that he and madam had publicly announced their relationship during the program.”
Old Lu was momentarily stunned, then he laughed and continued, “This kid… What program? Let me have a look.”
Aunt Pei smiled and let Old Lu see the video segment in which they made the announcement public. Old Lu wore his glasses and watched attentively for a while. He realized that it was his call that ‘exposed’ this matter. Originally it was Lu Lixing who first asked about it, but it got explained as a slip of the tongue.
Old Lu laughed and scolded good-naturedly. “This brat, he fooled me again! When he gets back, watch me teach him a lesson!”
Although he said it like that, not a single bit of anger could be seen on his face. It was all smiles.
“This is only a short part. Is there any more? Let me see their whole program in full.”
“Ah, give me a second.”
Aunt Pei opened the program’s live-stream. The scene hadn’t undergone any special editing and the camera actually filmed it to be a little blurry and zoomed out. The entire scene only showed Lu Lixing sitting on the sofa reading a magazine. Occasionally he would glance at his phone and answer a call or two.
Old Lu frowned. “Where’s Qingqing?”
“She’s bathing. Both of them were outside for the entire day and were tired.”
Just as Aunt Pei finished speaking, a short shriek was heard from the stream.
Lu Lixing paused and got up. He went to the bathroom door and asked, “What’s wrong?”
After a while, the sound of Ji Qingqing sucking her breath could be heard from inside. “It’s alright. The floor was slippery and I nearly slipped.”
“Be careful.” Lu Lixing reminded her and went back to the sofa to continue reading the magazine which he hadn’t finished.
——“Host, it is my responsibility and duty to remind you that you haven’t done your daily mission in a very long time. I know that deducting 3 life points every day from you is just a matter of getting Ji Qingqing to call you hubby 3 times. But even so, at the very least, it’s 3 hours of life. Can’t you respect these 3 life points a little more? And also respect me and the missions I assign.”
Lu Lixing just sat there. His brow didn’t furrow and he didn’t even bat an eyelid.
It was rare for Little A to be able to have an open discussion with him.
——“Don’t look down on these 3 hours. Who knows? Maybe they’ll become very useful.”
Saying that Little A was feeling a little insignificant. It’s cold, aloof system personality crashed terribly.
Lu Lixing’s eyes narrowed. “I remembered that you weren’t this talkative before?”
——Isn’t that implying: Without saying anything now, Ji Qingqing would call you ‘Hubby Hubby’ non-stop?
Feeling that its existence was getting more and more insignificant, Little A felt that it really had to appeal to Lu Lixing emotionally and logically to make him motivated and understand.
Of course, Little A will absolutely never reveal these concerns.
Lu Lixing ignored it.
——“Host, you’re somewhat lacking in life points. How about a mission?”
Lu Lixing scoffed and yelled, “Qingqing!”
Ji Qingqing’s voice was heard. “What is it, hubby?”
The system gritted its teeth. “Life point +1. Current life points are worth 10 hours!”
Lu Lixing: “It’s nothing.”
After saying that, he scoffed, “How many points will that mission deduct, again?”
The ridicule was very apparent in his words.
Life points will get deducted if the mission isn’t completed? Go ahead, deduct it. Deduct all you want.
Lu Lixing let out a long breath. His whole body felt carefree all over and he very much had the feeling that he had turned the tables around and become the one in power.
