My Wife is My Life!

Chapter 308

“I met Yu Yang two days ago.”

Ji Qingqing raised her eyebrows lightly and thought, Who’s Yu Yang?

The name sounds familiar, but I can’t seem to remember it.

“He said you broke up with me in the past because your father was seriously ill and needed half a million yuan*.”

*T/N: Yuan or Chinese Yuan (?) is the official currency used in China.

“He paid the expenses for you, so you chose to break up with me and chose him, right?”

Ah! After Lu Liting said that, she remembered.

Isn’t Yu Yang the rich second generation who followed “Ji Qinqing” after she dumped Lu Liting? That person was a complete scumbag.

However, Ji Qingqing didn’t even know if there was such a thing in the first place.

Is it true or false?

Lu Liting sounded certain when he said it, so she guessed it was true.

So she followed Lu Liting’s words and said, “So? What do you want to ask?”

Ji Qingqing’s indifferent expression was obviously beyond Lu Liting’s expectations.

Subconsciously, he knew that she had not taken this matter to heart a long time ago. But seeing Ji Qingqing ‘s indifferent expression, Lu Liting still couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.

He locked his gaze onto Ji Qingqing, his eyes filling with endless sadness.

He paused for a while, then asked bitterly, “Why didn’t you tell me in the first place?”

Ji Qingqing fell silent.

“If you had told me back then, I could have helped you solve it!”

“Do you regret it?” he asked. “Because I… I regret it…”

Ji Qinqing clearly heard a choked sob.

She sighed and said quietly, “Lu Liting, you have to look to the future. Past is past. Saying that you regret it now won’t help matters. Instead, it’s better to take this as a lesson and stop lying to others in the future, okay?”

“I’m sorry…” Lu Liting’s voice was slightly hoarse. Ji Qingqing’s words clearly pierced his heart, turning his eyes red.

For him, there was nothing more regrettable now than knowing the “what if’s” they had missed.

He once could have been in love with Ji Qingqing for the rest of his life. But because of his own concealment, obstinacy, and stubbornness, he ruined the happiness that he had originally held in his hands.

“Perhaps we wouldn’t have had so many misunderstandings if I hadn’t lied to you in the first place. If I had told you everything… you wouldn’t break up with me because of 500,000… But why didn’t you tell me about it in the first place?

“Qinqing, I know you blame me for saying hurtful things to you and for not understanding you. But do you really think it’s solely my fault that the two of us are in this situation?

“I admit it was my fault that I lied to you and kept the truth from you, but we wouldn’t get to where we are today unless you confessed everything to me and trusted me back then!”

Ji Qinqing thought, At first, the original “Ji Qingqing” might have really disliked the poor and loved the rich. But, being as it were, she also just might have been unwilling to drag Lu Liting down at that time.

Still, no matter what the reason was, she was already gone. No one would be able to give him an answer about it again.

“Lu Liting, the past has passed. And honestly, it’s getting quite tiresome for me to see these things being brought up again and again.

“So please, if you’re a real man, don’t mention this again in the future because it’ll just bring me endless troubles.”

She paused for a while then added, “And after I marry your brother and become your sister-in-law, I don’t want situations like this to happen again to avoid suspicion.”

The words “avoiding suspicion” stung Lu Liting’s heart deeply. Thinking of her laughing and happy appearance beside Lu Lixing, a thorn in his heart took root. And the deeper it got, the more painful it became – he could hardly breathe.

He stepped forward abruptly and grabbed Ji Qingqing’s hand as soon as she planned to leave, forcing her to look at him. The stubbornness and madness in his eyes were terrifying.

This isn’t good! Ji Qingqing suddenly became nervous.

The distance between them was dangerously close. If they were seen right now, no amount of explanation could clear their innocence*.

T/N: The original phrase used here was “????????” or “Jumping into the Yellow River won’t wash things” meaning that it’s “hard to clarify things.”

She struggled quickly. “Lu Liting, are you crazy?”

“I’m your sister-in-law! Let go of me!”

“Sister-in-law?” Lu Liting gritted through his teeth and forcibly smiled. “Are you really sure you want to be just my sister-in-law?”

Is there something wrong with your mind?

Ji Qingqing gave him a blank look.

How good is Lu Lixing? He’s hundreds of times, if not thousands of times, better than you! If I don’t marry Lu Lixing, should I marry you, you bastard?

“Of course, I want to be your sister-in-law. I’ve always dreamed of it!” Ji Qingqing spoke in a tough tone.

Without the slightest hesitation, she continued, “I love your brother! I want to marry him! I will never leave him in this life!”

Every word stabbed at him like a sharp sword, leaving him hurt and wounded.
