Chapter 196: chapter 196

Ji Qingqing was truly tired. Even though she heard Lu Lixing say something, she could barely catch what he was saying. She subconsciously replied with a lazy ‘En,’ as a response to his question.Lu Lixing gritted his teeth and inhaled deeply. “You don’t mind it?”Ji Qingqing could barely open her eyes. A sleepy ‘En’ drifted over once more.The book in Lu Lixing’s hands became slightly crumpled.Of course, an actor’s job is to act. Kissing scenes don’t really mean anything.Furthermore, apart from the marriage between him and Ji Qingqing, they had no other feelings for each other. Is there really a need for him to interfere with her job?There was no reason.In the first place, they were not related to each other.Lu Lixing thought of it with an open mind.He looked down and continued reading his book. However, the words in his book seemed to have turned into indecipherable ancient Chinese inscriptions and he couldn’t read a single thing at all.“Ji Qingqing.”Ji Qingqing took a while to turn her body around. Trying to keep her eyes open, she looked at him. “What is it?”“As the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, in the future, you should conduct yourself well in public to prevent people from gossiping about you.”Ji Qingqing’s sleepiness was half-gone and she contemplated Lu Lixing’s words in her head once more.Those words sounded so strange. They sounded as if she was a cheating woman who spoke vulgarly and flirted loosely in public.She crawled up, propped her upper body, and looked at him. “Do you have a problem with me?”“Yes, it’s your job to have kissing scenes with other celebrities. But you should be considerate towards Grandfather. If Grandfather saw it, what would he think?” Raising his head, Lu Lixing looked at her and continued, “Grandfather isn’t a young person. He can’t really accept the current ideals of freedom that young people have. Hence in the future, for those intimate scenes, you will either find a substitute or reject them directly.”“I can explain it to Grandpa. The kiss with me and Jiang Su…”Lu Lixing’s voice became louder and he interrupted her. “Explain what? You already kissed someone else. What more can you explain?”Ji Qingqing stared at him for a long while.Why is he so agitated?She got out of bed and stood before him. Suddenly, she asked, “Mr. Lu, currently with the way that you’re acting, could it be that you’re jealous?”Lu Lixing stiffened slightly. Then he snorted and casually placed the book in his hand to the side.“I’m jealous? Who would I be jealous of? Me being jealous of Jiang Su? Jealous because he kissed you? Ji Qingqing, you…”Ji Qingqing quipped, “Don’t you feel ashamed?”Those four words almost were his trademark phrase, and he always used them on her.But even if she was shameless, it couldn’t be compared to Lu Lixing’s inability to read the room. Furthermore, in what way was she shameless?Even if she was a block of wood, after spending more than a month together, she was also able to tell that Lu Lixing liked her.For more than a month, Lu Lixing had gone with her to the filming city, accompanied her as she filmed, defended her, and also video called her continuously for a month. Aren’t these signs that he likes her? And he still wants to continue pretending right in front of her?“Since it’s not a matter of you being jealous, then I’ll just explain it clearly to Grandpa myself. Nowadays, which drama doesn’t have kissing scenes? A drama without kissing scenes is a drama without a soul!”“What sort of weird reasoning is that?”“Sometimes the script needs kissing scenes to heighten the story. And that’s the reason for the kissing scene between me and Jiang Su. He needed a kiss to show that he had special feelings towards me. But…” Ji Qingqing looked at him. “If you tell me that you do not wish for me to film kissing scenes, then I’ll listen to you and reject them.”Lu Lixing forced himself to appear composed. He gazed at Ji Qingqing whose eyes were looking ‘meaningfully’ at him. For the first time, he didn’t feel in control of himself.“Ji Qingqing, let me tell you. Stop imagining things. I’m putting myself in Grandpa’s shoes. Both you and I have no feelings for each other and I’m not interested in you. We only have a contractual marriage between the both of us. Nothing further will happen!”“You’re not interested in me?”“I’m not!”“You don’t like me?”“I don’t!”Stubborn.Knowing that President Lu wanted to save face, Ji Qingqing casually replied, “Alright alright, I get it. Mr. Lu, if there isn’t anything else, I’ll go and take a bath first.”Saying that she turned and headed towards the bathroom.——“Death warning! Please kiss your wife, Ji Qingqing’s body in at least 3 different places.”“If you don’t kiss your life points will be deducted!”——“A kind reminder, your remaining life points are not sufficient for deduction. Will you choose to die on the spot from anger?
