My Wife is My Life! Chapter 270
Lu Lixing entered the company when he was 20 and always followed behind Old Lu to learn how to handle the company affairs. When he was eventually able to handle things on his own, he was already 25 years old. From 25 to 35 years old, he went to work early and came back late at night. In a whole day of 24 hours, 15 hours were spent at work. Those who didn’t know the truth thought that Lu Lixing wasn’t interested in women, but in reality, it was because he had no time and energy for them.
Gradually, he got used to having no females in his life. On regular days when he met beautiful ladies at the company or during receptions, they also couldn’t catch his interest either. He lived a solitary life for so long that he, himself, even thought that he wasn’t attracted to women.
Ji Qingqing was an accident.
Tonight was an accident and from time to time, it kept challenging his rationality and his limits.
The sound of the washer-dryer machine spinning on the balcony drowned out what they were saying and it couldn’t get captured in the live-stream.
“Didn’t you say that the clothes were dirty? So I went to wash them and now I don’t have any clothes to wear. Don’t be petty. Lend me your shirt to wear for two days, okay~?”
Ji Qingqing, who had been single from birth for 25 years, never interacted with men and had no interest in them. Her understanding of men wasn’t much and sexual attraction certainly wasn’t her area of expertise.
Yes, although she knew Lu Lixing liked her or maybe loved her according to what he says, she absolutely did not expect that Lu Lixing, a healthy, robust man would develop sexual attraction towards her in the end.
After all, it was written like that in the novel: Lu Lixing was a man who had no interest in women. Besides, they had slept together for about two or three months and had bodily contact as well, and regardless of that didn’t Lu Lixing still keep himself under control?
But after Qi Jingyun pointed it out, the more Ji Qingqing looked at Lu Lixing’s sensible appearance the more she felt that it was off.
Lu Lixing choked from hearing Ji Qingqing’s words. After all, he was initially the one who had said that her clothes were dirty.
“I think it looks pretty good and fits me rather well when I wear your clothes. Hubby, what do you think?” Saying that she pulled the shirt down to show her half-exposed shoulder. Her clavicle curved in and it was sexy and attractive.
However, Lu Lixing didn’t take the hint and responded seriously, “It doesn’t suit you. The shirt is too big. You look better with your own clothes on. The washer-dryer machine has a drying feature. If it’s still unable to dry properly, you can dry them after leaving it out for the night.”
“...” Lu Lixing’s words were indeed faultless and irrefutable.
Lu Lixing’s gaze didn’t continue to linger a second longer on her. He went back to the sofa and read for the whole night, however, he only managed to flip a single page of his magazine during this entire time.
Ji Qingqing propped against the washer-dryer machine as she stared at Lu Lixing’s back view with gritted teeth.
Then her phone received a message from Qi Jingyun.
——”No man can withstand the temptation coming from their beloved woman.”
Ji Qingqing replied, “What if he resisted it?”
——”Impossible, unless he is not a man.”
Ji Qingqing mused for a bit, “Maybe it’s because he has extraordinary self-control.”
Half an hour later, the washer-dryer machine stopped. Just like Lu Lixing had said, the clothes had completely dried and it was the kind where they were ready to be worn.
Her plan failed.
Ji Qingqing gloomily dried her clothes.
But what’s with the clothes? How come they’re wrinkly? And they also look like they have shrunk a lot?
Ji Qingqing straightened out her clothes and eventually spotted the ‘do not wash with water’ symbol on the label.
What a coincidence, the clothes she washed were all clothes that couldn’t be washed with water.
Crap, now there’s really no clothes to wear.
Ji Qingqing gloomily hugged a pile of clothes and sat on the sofa. Then she started straightening them out one by one.
“This one was given to me by Aunt Pei when I went shopping with her. This one was brought by me last month and I didn’t get the chance to wear it at all. And this, it can’t be bought locally anymore!” As she straightened out each and every single one of them, she painfully lamented, “They are all ruined!”
This price of testing the waters was way too big!
