Chapter 52 - "Cooperate with me by putting on the appearance of a loving wife. Start off by remembering to call me hubby." (4)

Elder Lu smiled in relief. "Child, thank you for your understanding and thank you for agreeing to my request back then. Otherwise, who knows if Lixing would have even woken up.

Ji Qingqing hastily said, "Don't say that. I haven't done anything."

Elder Lu mysteriously smiled. "Your marriage to Lixing is the biggest help to him. Now that Lixing is awake, I want to ask you, are you still willing to stay here?"

Ji Qingqing slightly froze in surprise.

"Don't misunderstand. I just feel that young people these days want a love that's felt by both parties. If I try to insistently force you and Lixing to be together, I presume that you won't be willing.

Ji Qingqing awkwardly smiled and didn't say anything.

"Actually, since ancient times, love was never a consideration for marriage. In the past, marriage was dictated by parents and the words of matchmakers. I didn't see my wife until our wedding day. We didn't even have a conversation with each other until the third day of our marriage. Having feelings for each other before our wedding day was even more improbable. Even so, it didn't stop me from falling in love with my wife later on. Whether its romantic love or a marriage, as long as you find someone that's suitable for you, that's what really matters."

Elder Lu paused. "Times have changed. Young people revere freedom and personal choice. They want to marry because of love. Even though there's no feelings between you and Lixing, would you be willing to try being in a relationship with him? Give Lixing a chance." Elder Lu smiled. "Of course, if you're not willing, I won't force you. You and Lixing are married. If you choose divorce, I'll definitely give you the share that you deserve."

The share that you deserve?

Ji Qingqing's heart was beating loudly.

Lu Lixing and her were husband and wife. If she divorced Lu Lixing, the courts would award part of his assets to her.

Lu Lixing was very wealthy. Even the tiniest portion of his liquid wealth would be enough for her to live comfortably for the rest of her life. If she were to be given a portion of his estate...

"I feel that I've wronged my grandson. After his father died, Lixing picked up the burden of being responsible for the family. He didn't have any time for himself, much less have time to date anyone. I've been hoping that he would get married and start a family, but he always used work as an excuse. But, you're different."

"Me? Elder Lu, don't joke. How am I different?"

"Of course you're different. Qingqing, Lixing has never taken the initiative to approach a woman before. You're the first."

Taken the initiative to approach a woman?

Ji Qingqing carefully thought about it. Was Elder Lu talking about how she and Lu Lixing had shared a bed and Lu Lixing's good morning kiss?

The Lu Lixing that she knew didn't seem like the Lu Lixing that Elder Lu was describing. Lu Lixing didn't seem like a guy that went out of his way to avoid women.

"I hope that you can carefully consider this matter. Lixing is a responsible person. He's not a bad person to marry.

There naturally wasn't anything bad about Lu Lixing. Not only was there nothing bad about him, he was the best guy.

For something like marriage, you should either marry for love or for money. Ideally, it would be for both. Lu Lixing was someone that had money and good looks. No matter how she looked at it, she would be the one profiting if she stayed married to him. There was nothing for her to be picky about. However, listening to Elder Lu's tone, it sounded as if he thought Lu Lixing was the lucky one?

"Elder Lu, I've always felt very grateful that you resolved that issue for me. You don't have to worry. I'll stay here to take good care of you in the future."

This could be counted as agreeing.
