My Wife is My Life!-Chapter 248
During the period Ji Qingqing interacted with Old Lu, the elderly man was indeed approachable and amiable, however he unavoidably had his own stubborn ideas and rules. Given that he was like that when he was old, one could imagine what he was like when he was younger.
Thinking about the novel’s Lu Lixing life, it was only mentioned briefly. He was just like a spinning top which spinned around the Lu’s. He didn’t have any time that belonged to himself and his hobbies.
She deliberated her words, “Actually, Grandpa tells me all the time that he regrets it too and that he shouldn’t have forced you like that that time. He always said that if it was possible to travel back to the past, he would definitely let you choose your own life. What about you? Do you regret it?”
“Regret what?”
“Compared to the things that you’ve gained, do you regret what you’ve lost in the past?”
“I gained the entire Lu Corporation, Grandpa’s trust, and the Lu Family assets. I lost my cars, sailboats, and spare time. The things I gained far exceed those that I lost, so why would I regret?”
Ji Qingqing remained silent. Lu Lixing indeed had nothing much to regret.
The things he gained were what others could not even dare to dream about in their lifetime.
“I don’t blame him either,” Lu Lixing replied. “Regarding Father and Mother’s accident, at that time, the one who grieved the most was Grandpa. He didn’t want outsiders to say that the Lu Family had no successors when they mentioned my father, so he had strict expectations for me. Besides, Grandpa is right, car racing is indeed dangerous.”
“So afterwards, you never raced again?”
“I didn’t.”
Ji Qingqing turned and looked at the sports car parked quietly on the road. The long coastline stretched out as far as she could see.
“You can have fun today, I promised I won’t tell it to Grandpa.”
“Never mind.” Lu Lixing chuckled. “For dangerous things, once there is one accident, there won’t ever be a second. There is no need to take such a risk for a moment of thrill.”
“You… Apart from cars, don’t you have other leisure hobbies?”
“Yachting.”
“…”
Ji Qingqing remembered the yacht models that were included amongst Lu Lixing’s heap of car models.
That leisure hobby was also rather dangerous.
“What about you?”
“Me? My leisure hobby?”
Lu Lixing nodded.
“My leisure hobby is actually rather boring.” Ji Qingqing pondered for a bit and after racking her brains; it turned out that she really didn’t have many proper hobbies. “Does travelling count? Does reading count?”
Lu Lixing gave up. “I think your sleeping also counts as a hobby.”
She rolled her eyes. “People like me already have a very hard time living. My whole day is devoted to rushing about for my lifestyle, how would I have any energy to enjoy my own leisure hobbies? Every time I get off work, I just want to read, watch movies, lay on the bed to rest, and travel a few times a year. That’s all it’ll take to make me very happy.
Saying that, Ji Qingqing added again, “Previously, Grandpa told me to persuade you not to focus your attention and time on the company for the whole day when there’s no reason to do so. Go out occasionally to relax and take it easy. If you don’t want to go out on your own, you can call me over. As long as you foot the bill, I don’t mind being a tour guide for you.”
Lu Lixing listened as Ji Qingqing said it in earnest and his lips slightly curved. “Sure, no problem.”
It was especially comfortable when the sea breeze blew over. The two of them looked for a rock to sit on and gazed at the calm sea surface in the distance.
“Now it’s already 2.30pm, if we sit a while longer it will be around 3 or 4pm. We’ll return back to the hotel around 4 or 5pm and dinner would be around 7 or 8pm” Ji Qingqing estimated like this and one day had actually ended just like that. “Are dates supposed to be like this?”
Idling time away?
Lu Lixing also didn’t know. “I’m not sure, but I can ask Chen Shuyi.”
”Oh right, what did they do today?”
“I don’t know.”
“Then what’s our schedule tomorrow?”
Lu Lixing took out his phone and opened the memo app. “Tomorrow morning we’ll be hiking, and in the afternoon we’ll go downtown to look at an art exhibit, at night…”
