My Wife is My Life!-Chapter 317

Ji Chengxi and Ji Chengyu communicated silently with their eyes as they pointed at Ji Qingqing.

Ji Chengxi signaled her. What do we do?

Ji Chengyu shot him a blank look.

Ji Chengxi made a phone call gesture. Should I call my brother-in-law?

As if right on time, the phone on the side suddenly vibrated.

Ji Chengyu picked it up and saw that it was a call from Lu Lixing.

She didn’t answer and let it ring for a while. After it hung up, she noticed that there were over fifty missed calls shown on the display.

Five minutes later, the phone rang again.

“Who is it?” Ji Chengxi looked over and saw that it was Lu Lixing. Before Ji Chengyu could hang up the phone, he quickly snatched the phone away and answered the phone.

“Hello? Brother-in-law, it’s Ji Chengxi. What’s the matter?”

When Ji Chengyu saw Ji Chengxi’s fawning appearance, she kicked him in the leg. Ji Chengxi stumbled and fell, then turned to face his sister with a fierce look.

Lu Lixing on the other end of the phone was surprised, “Ji Chengxi? Where’s your sister? Please pass the phone over to her.”

“My sister is here, but… she doesn’t look very good… But don’t worry, I’ll take care of her! I’m curious though, what happened between you and my sister?”

Lu Lixing remained silent.

The noise jolted Ji Qingqing awake. She tiredly asked Ji Chengxi, “Who is it? Is it… Lu Lixing?”

Ji Chengxi nodded his head.

Ji Qingqing slowly got up from the sofa and went to grab the phone from Ji Chengxi’s hand. She put it next to her ear and asked confusedly, “Lu Lixing?”

Lu Lixing’s throat nervously bobbed and his empty hand was clenched tightly as he responded, “Yes, it’s me.”

“Did you… did you call me because there’s another mission from the system?”

Hearing her response, Lu Lixing was pained. Her words were like a sharp sword, fiercely piercing into his heart.

It’s very hard for a person who has been deceived once to trust others again.

Lu Lixing understood this principle. But still, he hoped to regain Ji Qingqing’s trust once more.

So that they could start over again.

He said with great difficulty, “No. There’s no mission this time, I just wanted to…” give you a call.

Ji Qingqing felt very tired as she leaned on the sofa. Looking at the ceiling, her eyelids gradually closed, feeling drowsy. She held no interest as she cut off what he planned to say, “Oh, then I’ll hang up.”

Lu Lixing sat in the dimly lit study, listening to the beep sound coming from the phone in a daze, not moving for a long time.

Ji Qingqing rarely got drunk, mainly because she rarely had moments like this. After today’s incident, except for her limbs being weak, she found that her mood wasn’t actually as bad as before. Her brain was unusually clear and she felt a bit refreshed.

Ji Chengxi came closer and asked, “Jie, what exactly happened between you and your brother-in-law? Talk to us about it, don’t keep it to yourself. Don’t let it make you sick.”

On one side of the sofa, Ji Chengyu pushed her glasses up as she began to analyze. “Based on what Ji Qingqing said earlier, it’s not that hard to guess what happened between the two of them.”

Ji Chengxi sent her an unbelievable look. “Do you know the reason again?” 𝑓𝚛𝚎𝗲𝙬ℯ𝘣𝚗𝘰ν𝐞l. co𝗺

“Only someone with a negative IQ like you wouldn’t be able to guess it. Ji Qingqing said that Lu Lixing deceived her, said he didn’t love her before, but pretended to love her and that’s probably the reason she drank. ”

Ji Chengxi frowned. “Well he didn’t love her before, but he loves her now. Isn’t that enough?”

“When a man is used to lying, it’s hard to change that habit,” Ji Chengyu said coldly.

“However, even without considering Lu Lixing’s reputation, if I’m correct, his character is also good. Perhaps there’s just a misunderstanding between the two of them.”

“And even though Ji Qingqing’s taste in men hasn’t been great these past few years, I have to admit that Lu Lixing is different from her previous men. I have confidence in him.”

“Why do you always call Jie ‘Ji Qingqing’? She’s your sister.”

Ji Chengyu turned to look at him coldly.

Ji Chengxi raised his hands in surrender. “All right, all right. You can call her whatever you want, I’ll take my sister to the room to rest.”

Drunk people are definitely heavy and really hard to carry.

Ji Chengxi had to use all of his strength to carry Ji Qingqing to the room.

Ji Qingqing had a hard time sleeping that night.

She dreamed vaguely all night. At first, she dreamt that Lu Lixing was being cruel to her. Lu Lixing kept on saying that he long wanted to abandon her and in the dream, he said that he was just deceiving her. Now that he was better, he didn’t need her anymore.

The scene quickly changed. Next, she dreamt of the night when Lu Lixing proposed to her. Lu Lixing’s eyes were full of warmth and affection as he confessed to her and said that he would love her for a lifetime.

Afterward, she dreamt of the first time she met Lu Lixing. Lu Lixing was lying on the bed, critically ill. She watched him struggling to breathe on the bed. His heart monitor stopped, but unlike the day when she first saw him, he suddenly didn’t wake up.

The piercing sound of the heart monitor made Ji Qingqing feel like her ears were about to rupture.

She woke up abruptly from her dream. Her whole body was drenched in sweat and her heart was pounding very fast. The scene of Lu Lixing’s face turning blue and gray without any signs of life kept flashing in her mind.

Ji Qingqing clenched the blanket tightly and took a deep breath. Her face was full of fear and panic.

Luckily, it was just a dream.
