BXBX NOVEL Chapter 296
She was wearing a 21 million USD ring on her finger and she didn’t even dare to touch it. What if the two wing-shaped diamonds attached to it broke off?
Unable to help it, she nagged, “Why did you buy me something this expensive? Just buy me one to casually wear…”
Lu Lixing stared at the tear tracks in the corners of Ji Qingqing’s eyes. A medical staff member was bandaging one of his injured hands seriously, so he raised his other hand and gently wiped her tears.
Ji Qingqing was stunned and glanced at the medic who seemed to be very focused on bandaging Lu Lixing’s hand. He was very professional and didn’t pay any attention to their interaction at all. Then, it dawned on her that she was crying in front of a stranger.
She forcefully wiped her tears with her hands and glared at Lu Lixing angrily.
“I already bought it, it’s non-refundable. Just wear it, don’t take it off.”
“I can’t! I have to make sure to keep this ring properly. What if I encounter a thief when I’m outside wearing this ring?” After speaking, she took out the “box” that Lu Lixing gave her and placed the ring inside it.
“You don’t have to worry. Criminals won’t be able to get close to you wherever you go.”
The medic at the side used medical gauze to bandage Lu Lixing’s injured hand. “Mr. Lu, it’s done. Please avoid getting the wound wet in the next two days. Afterward, go to a professional to change your dressing.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” The medic smiled and left the infirmary.
“You can’t let water touch the wound, so you have to be careful especially when you take a bath in the next two days.” Ji Qingqing checked him from head to toe for a few moments before suddenly thinking of something. She asked, “Is the injury only on your hand? How about your leg?”
Lu Lixing stood up. “I’m fine, let’s go back first.”
He moved forward, wanting to hold hands with Ji Qingqing, but she grinned and hid her hand from him. She went out first, her hands holding the ring box carefully.
Lu Lixing’s hand grasped only empty air and he helplessly shook his head as he stared at her back, chuckling.
Back in the room, Ji Qingqing carefully placed the box with the ring in the safe.
“It’s just a ring, why treat it so preciously?”
“This is the ring you bought for 21 million dollars! It’s very expensive! Of course, I have to hide this carefully.” After locking the safe, Ji Qingqing stood up and gently said, “You didn’t even tell me.”
“What kind of surprise would that be?”
Ji Qingqing’s eyebrow rose and the corner of her lips lifted into an imperceptible curve.
“Come and help me.”
“What’s the matter?”
Lu Lixing tilted his head and said, “I want to shower, help me take off my shirt.” He placed his gauze-covered hands in front of Ji Qinqing and added in a quite justified manner, “I can’t use my hands. It’s very inconvenient.”
… He was back.
The familiar Lu Lixing was back.
Ji Qingqing was aware that now wasn’t a good time to disagree with Lu Lixing.
Ji Qingqing unbuttoned his shirt from the top to the abdomen. With his half-opened shirt, she saw his abs — hard and bulging with strength. She finally had the chance to unbutton his shirt, so bursting with courage, she pretended to casually touch his abs.
Very hard.
She poked harder. It became elastic to the touch.
But she dared not linger, lest Lu Lixing mocked her. She hurriedly unbuttoned his shirt all the way to the bottom.
“Okay, you go and shower now. Remember not to get it wet.”
Lu Lixing simply stood still, not moving at all.
Ji Qingqing stood still, too, looking at him. “Anything else?”
Lu Lixing glanced down.
Ji Qingqing’s cheeks reddened as she stared at the belt she bought for him. He wore it on his suit pants. “Do you want me to take off your pants, too? You’re already an adult, don’t tell me you can’t take off your belt with one hand?! Don’t go too far.”
Although she turned him down, where was the strict tone of refusal in her voice?
“I want you to untie my shoelaces. There’s no way I can untie it with only one working hand.” Lu Lixing chuckled. “What do you think about that?”
The familiar Lu Lixing was really back!
Ji Qingqing glared at him. He was spoiled rotten!
“Just kick your shoes off! Your hands are already like this, yet you still talk a lot!”
With that, she pushed Lu Lixing into the shower.
A few moments later, she heard the sound of dripping water from the bathroom. Hearing this, Ji Qingqing exited the room, hands on her red cheeks.
Everyone slept well that night except for Director Wang and the program staff who were still very busy. The two carefully prepared marriage proposals would be explosive once the show was aired.
This was the last night and the shoot would end tomorrow, so Director Wang negotiated with the hotel staff that he wanted to shoot more important and some miscellaneous shots.
“Try to take as many shots tonight. The shooting will be over tomorrow. Everyone, please work a little harder.”
“Sure, Director Wang.”
Director Wang stood by the window, heaving a sigh of relief. The show was definitely going great!
