Chapter 55 - "Cooperate with me by putting on the appearance of a loving wife. Start off by remembering to call me hubby." (7)

Lu Lixing faintly smiled. "You should say it a few more times to get more used to it."

"Hubby."

-- "1 point has been added to your life. You currently have three hours to live."

"En, continue."

"Hubby."

-- "1 point has been added to your life. You currently have four hours to live."

"Eh."

"Hubby!"

-- "1 point has been added to your life. You currently have five hours to live."

"Hubby, hubby, hubby, hubby..." The more that Ji Qingqing said that word, the more smoothly it rolled off her tongue. She laughed. "It's pretty easy to say."

-- "4 point has been added to your life. You currently have nine hours to live."

Lu Lixing had figured out Ji Qingqing's personality. She was amenable to coaxing, but would dig her feet in at coercion. As long as he gave her a good reason, she would agree. If he told her he was having a hardship, she would feel even worse for himself than he did.

"Young Master, Young Madam, it's time to eat." Aunty Pei called out from the hallway. She continued to yak on, "You guys went to the hospital early in the morning and didn't eat anything. It's almost noon now. Young Master, Aunty Pei made you your favorite food. Come downstairs to eat. Your health isn't good. I'm worried that if you miss meals, you'll get sick!"

Lu Lixing quietly said, "You go out first. I'll come out soon. Remember what I said, wifey."

"Don't worry. I'll remember." Ji Qingqing guaranteed that she wouldn't slip up in front of Elder Lu!

After saying that, she pushed open the door and went downstairs.

Elder Lu was already sitting at the dining table. Seeing Ji Qingqing coming downstairs by herself, he asked her, "Where's Lixing?"

"He's upstairs."

"He hasn't eaten breakfast and now he's not eating lunch. Go tell him to come downstairs to eat."

Just as Ji Qingqing was going to call Lu Lixing downstairs, she saw him walking down the stairs.

"Mr...." Ji Qingqing almost called him Mr. Lu out of reflex, but when she saw Lu Lixing's slightly sunken expression, she changed what she was going to say. "Hubby, let's eat."

-- "1 point has been added to your life. You currently have ten hours to live."

Elder Lu was very shocked to hear Ji Qingqing calling his grandson, "Hubby". He and Aunty Pei briefly exchanged incredulous glances.

It took them a long time to return to their senses.

Aunty Pei cover her mouth and laughed. "Aiya, a magpie flew into our backyard early this morning, and I was wondering what good tidings its arrival would bring. I see now that it's double blessings."

"Yes, double blessings." Elder Lu looked at Ji Qingqing. Since Ji Qingqing had called his grandson "hubby", it probably meant that she had accepted her status as his grandson's wife. It wouldn't be suitable for her to continue staying in the guest room. And so, he smiled and said, "Qingqing ah, Lixing and you are husband and wife. It's not suitable for you to stay in the guest room. How about this? You can move to Lixing's room tonight. His room is much bigger than the guest room you're staying in now. It's more comfortable too."

Ji Qingqing thought of Lu Lixing's repeated reminders and nodded. "Okay!"

Lu Lixing thought of Ji Qingqing's terrible sleeping habits and instinctively shook his head. "No!"

"Aiya, Young Master, what do you mean by no? Young Madam is your wife. It's only right that she sleeps in the same bed as you. How about this? I'll go move over Young Madam's things to your room right now."

The more Aunty Pei thought about this, the more she thought this was a great idea. She immediately went upstairs to move things over.

Ji Qingqing doubtfully looked at him. Lowering her voice, she asked, "Didn't you say we should show the appearance of a loving couple?"

Lu Lixing looked at Ji Qingqing's doubtful and questioning gaze as well as Elder Lu's gratified smile. His brow furrowed so tightly that it could squeeze a fly to to death.
