Ji Qingqing was so embarrassed, “I’ll head back to work first, so if you have anything to tell me, we can discuss it tonight.”

“Wait!” Lu Lixing grabbed her wrist, “Dar…” Daring?

Ji Qingqing’s cheeks flushed deep red.

How could Lu Lixing remain so relaxed while asking her to do such embarrassing things? He even asked her to kiss him!

T/N: Lu Lixing is trying to say ‘darling’, but he faltered before he could finish his sentence. So, it sounded like ‘kiss’ instead of ‘darling’.

“Tell me, what is it that you want to discuss? The scene that I have to act out this evening is very important. I still have a lot of parts that I don’t understand, so I have to discuss it with the director.”

Lu Lixing sighed and leaned towards her. In a voice that only the two of them could hear, he said, “I have come all the way here to bring you lunch, but I’ll be satisfied if you just call me hubby one more time.”

Ji Qingqing stared at him; she was really done with him. She should consult a doctor tomorrow and ask the doctor whether Lu Lixing’s can be cured. He really liked to be addressed as hubby all the time.

“Hubby.”

——“Life value +1, the Host’s current health is two hours.”

Lu Lixing was both physically and mentally happy.

So, what if the system kept deducting health from him? As long as Ji Qingqing continued to address him as hubby more often, then he was not afraid of having his health points deducted.

“Hubby…” She didn’t mind addressing him as hubby when they were alone. But now that they were surrounded by people, Ji Qingqing was too embarrassed to publicly address him as hubby. After addressing him as hubby twice, she was done with this charade and said, “Hurry back to the hotel and rest. We can do whatever you want later tonight, alright?”

——“Life value +1, the Host’s current health is three hours.”

Ji Qingqing immediately turned around and walked away when she finished talking to him.

Director Zhou and the other sat there like solid sculptures, astonished by the scene unfolding in front of them.

Was there something wrong with their ears or had the world come to an end?

What happened between Ji Qingqing and Lu Lixing? Had their relationship progressed to the point where they can act so affectionately in public?

Didn’t the media love to dig out stories about romance and such like these? Why didn’t they hear a peep about this from the media?

Ji Qingqing looked up and noticed that Director Zhou and the others were staring at her strangely. She avoided their gaze subconsciously. It was very likely that they had heard their conversation since they were standing merely three feet away from them.

Ji Qingqing turned red from her neck to the tip of her ears, “Director Zhou, what were we talking about?”

Director Zhou finally came back to his senses and smiled, “We were just speaking about your hubby….no, I mean, talking about your confession scene.”

Lu Lixing lost his concentration for a moment, allowing Ji Qingqing to break free from him. He believed that asking Ji Qingqing to call him hubby twenty times wouldn’t be asking for too much, right? After all, he did carefully prepare a sumptuous lunch for her.

She called him hubby three times, just enough points for the system to deduct a mission point from him.

T/N: He will have 3 points deducted if he fails this mission. Ji Qingqing basically left him just enough points for him to fail his mission.

Lu Lixing stared intensely at Ji Qingqing’s back; his gaze was slowly turning gloomy.

Ji Qingqing was immersed in the script, so she didn’t notice him at all.

After he finally resolved his inner conflict and resigned to fate, Lu Lixing took a deep breath and finally said the words that had been stuck in his throat all afternoon, “Baby…”

The three people all turned around and looked up at him at the same time.

Lu Lixing was used to the bloody and chaotic business world, but at this moment, he was embarrassed to the point where he couldn’t even utter a word.

A fluffy white puppy walked up to Lu Lixing and wagged its tail at him.

Lu Lixing picked up the small puppy and forced himself to calm down. He said nonchalantly, “This dog puppy looks quite similar to the dog called Baby that Auntie Pei is currently raising.”
