Chapter 34 - Life was truly merciless to him (1)
In the novel, Shen Weiwei would gain the reputation of a flawless goddess.
Ji Qingqing still remembered the author's description of Shen Weiwei. She was described as a fresh and pure lotus blooming in a muddy landscape. She was a bright and beautiful sight that stood out in the entertainment industry. In the novel, many directors and actors that she worked with would express that she was the most comfortable female celebrity they had come in contact with. They said that there was no one cleaner than Shen Weiwei.
After Shen Weiwei was revealed as an outstanding talent in the entertainment circle, she always walked the path of a fresh and pure actress until an awards ceremony. She wore a sexy red backless dress. She was the darling of the photographers at the awards ceremony and became a trending topic on Weibo's search results again. Her popularity went up another level.
After that awards ceremony, people discovered that Shen Weiwei was talented in every area. She could display two completely opposite images: a pure and kind image as well as a passionate and flirtatious one. It was a direct strike against people that said Shen Weiwei could only play the part of a little white flower protagonist.
Because of this, Shen Weiwei was launched up to unprecedented fame. She would constantly get invitations from members of the entertainment industry. It didn't take long for her to become a hotshot celebrity.
Ji Qingqing looked for a recent photo of Shen Weiwei on Weibo. It was supposedly a candid photo taken by a passerby. Shen Weiwei was wearing a full length white dress and had on exquisitely done makeup. Even if this photo was enlarged, it wouldn't be possible to see any blemishes on her face. This was obviously a photo of her going to some celebration.
"Me and her, who do you think looks better?"
Ji Qingqing raised her phone so that the image of Shen Weiwei's photo was next to her face. She wanted Lu Lixing to choose.
Lu Lixing moved his eyes from his phone to hers. The woman on her phone was indeed beautiful and was comfortable to look at. It was easy for this woman to evoke a man's desire to protect.
However, Ji Qingqing was expectantly looking at him. Her eyes only had him as she waited for his answer. It was as if his answer was of vital important to her.
Lu Lixing's heart inexplicably softened. He blurted out, "You."
She giggled and said, "I knew it!" Those fans were blatantly lying. How could Shen Weiwei's bland little white flower appearance be more beautiful than Ji Qingqing's face?
No one's vision was better than Lu Lixing's.
Ji Qingqing quit the Weibo app in a very happy mood, she couldn't be bothered to care about those blind fans.
She helpfully tucked the corners of the blanket around Lu Lixing and said, "Have a good rest. I'll go look at Elder Lu. If you need anything, just call for me.
Lu Lixing called out to stop her, "Wait, do you remember what I said yesterday?"
Ji Qingqing was baffled. "What did you say?"
"Say hubby 24 times a day."
Lu Lixing had deliberated between praising Ji Qingqing for five minutes or having Ji Qingqing calling him hubby 24 times and finally chose the latter option.
Lu Lixing's deadily earnest attitude made it impossible for someone to think he was joking.
Thinking of how she had called him hubby 24 times last night, Ji Qingqing's face paled before turning white. Soon afterwards, embarrassed into anger, she said, "Didn't you have enough of making me look like a fool yesterday? You're still going to do this again today?"
"I made you look like a fool? Why would I do that?"
"How would I know what's going in you head? How else would you describe what you're doing right now?" Ji Qingqing truly didn't understand. What was wrong with Lu Lixing's personality? Why did he have such a weird hobby of wanting to hear people call him "hubby"? And, he wanted to hear it 24 times.
Translator Ramblings: Lu Lixing’s ten minutes are almost up XD.
