In which the System Torments the Protagonists: My Wife is My Life!

Chapter 49 – “Cooperate with me by putting on the appearance of a loving wife. Start off by remembering to call me hubby.” (1)

During the entire journey back to villa, Ji Qingqing’s brain remained utterly blank.

Although she had felt slightly doubtful about Lu Lixing’s physical condition, it was only doubts. Under the conditions of modern medicine, Ji Qingqing didn’t believe that Haibin City’s largest hospital would make such a big mistake. Moreover, Lu Lixing was supposed to already be dead by now in the novel.

So why was Lu Lixing still alive?

It couldn’t be that Lu Lixing had recovered because she had married him, right?

Ji Qingqing erased this idea from her mind. The idea that getting married would bring good luck to a sickly person had no scientific basis. It wasn’t believable.

She was caught off guard when she heard, “What are you thinking about?”

Ji Qingqing returned to her senses and looked at Lu Lixing, who was looking at her with a questioning gaze. The question had also drawn over Elder Lu’s kind gaze.

“Nothing much, just feeling that this matter is strange. For Mr. Lu to have recovered so quickly, could the doctor have misdiagnosed?”

A patient, who had been on the cusp of death, had left the hospital. In the span of three days and without any medical treatment, his condition had gradually improved to the point where he was going to make a full recovery.

If the news of Lu Lixing’s medical history spread, it would shock the medical community.

“Misdiagnosis? Why? Do you still feel like I’m going to die soon? Didn’t you say that you hope I would recover? You said that I’m young and promising, that I’m sure to live to a hundred years. If it was possible, you would be willing to give me half of your life. Wasn’t it you that said all those words?”

“Ah no, I didn’t mean it like that. Of course, I hope that you’ll get better. I meant, could it be possible that the doctor had misdiagnosed when you were discharged from the hospital three days ago.”

“It’s not strange, and it wasn’t a misdiagnosis.” Elder Lu smiled and said, “Qingqing, you have a higher power watching over you.”

Ji Qingqing smiled. She knew that Elder Lu was referring to that superstitious belief. Alright, if such an incredible thing couldn’t be explained by science, then they would have to use metaphysics as the reason.

However, since Lu Lixing had recovered and wasn’t going to die, she wouldn’t have to observe the mourning rituals of a widow.

Lu Liting wouldn’t be able to inherit the Lu family’s fortune. Without Lu Liting serving as her background supporter, Shen Weiwei wouldn’t be able to make it big in the entertainment industry. She wouldn’t have to keep thinking about saving money and running far away to avoid the male lead and female leads.

This was truly… too wonderful!

It didn’t matter that there were no feelings between her and Lu Lixing. She wouldn’t be stupid like the novel’s Ji Qingqing. The novel’s Ji Qingqing had chased after money when she should be chasing after love. When it was time to chase after money, the novel’s Ji Qingqing had chased after love. Lu Lixing was rich, extremely rich. She wouldn’t love him. She would just love his money. If Lu Lixing wasn’t willing to give her money, that was okay too. She could earn money for herself in the entertainment circle. She was more clear-headed than the novel’s Ji Qingqing. She would definitely be able to earn money!

Thinking of this, Ji Qingqing couldn’t stop her laughter from spilling out.

Without the threat of the male lead and the female lead, Ji Qingqing could practically see her bright future.

Elder Lu’s grandfatherly gaze became even more adoring when he saw Ji Qingqing’s smile.

Lu Lixing lightly looked her way before looking out through the car’s window the rest of the car ride.

Soon, they arrived at the Lu’s villa.

Aunty Pei had been sitting in the living room and anxiously waiting for news. As soon as she heard the sound of a car, she hastily came out to greet them.

“Elder Lu, how did the examination go?”

During the past few hours when Lu Lixing had gone to the hospital for an examination, Aunty Pei had been considering everything about Lu Lixing’s condition after he had been discharged from the hospital. Even though everyone was saying that this was his last burst of vitality before death, she had never seen a dying person doing as well as Lu Lixing.
