Chapter 51 – “Cooperate with me by putting on the appearance of a loving wife. Start off by remembering to call me hubby.” (3)

“I picked out cementarties for you?” For a long time, Mr. Wang was too stunned to respond.

“Lixing, we can talk about choosing a cemetery later. You just came back from the hospital. This is bad luck!”

There was nothing taboo to Lu Lixing, who had already experienced death once. He straightforwardly said, “Grandpa, there’s no need to be so superstitious. Mortality is a natural part of life. Everyone will die one day. It’s not too early to make funeral preparations for myself.”

On the side, Mr. Wang listened to conversation. He didn’t dare to speak. He had already figured everything out and understood his folly. Lu Lixing, who was supposed to be on his deathbed, was already in recovery, so why would he need a cemetery plot? He had done the worst possible thing by enthusiastically recommending cemeteries. Mr. Wang guessed that in a few minutes he would be kicked out of here.

“I’ll go with Panlongtai Cemetery.”

Mr. Wang repeatedly nodded and took back the documents that Lu Lixing handed over.

“A-Alright… Sure. I’ll go back to the office and prepare the paperwork for you right away.”

Lu Lixing raised his eyelids, and Mr. Wang trembled. “Err… I’ll take my time preparing it?”

Ji Qingqing felt so uncomfortable trying to stifle her laughter. Lu Lixing coldly glanced at her. “Just laugh if you want.”

“Hahaha…”

“Arrange a plot for her too in Panlongtai Cemetery.”

Ji Qingqing: “…”

“This young lady is…?”

Lu Lixing introduced, “My wife”

“Oh, so it’s Mrs. Lu.” Mr. Wang smiled and said, “How about this, I’ll find a couple’s cemetery plot for you and your wife. A spot that’s facing the sea and where flowers bloom in spring. How’s that?”

… A hundred years from now, she would have to come out of their coffin to look at the sea with Lu Lixing in the middle of the night as ghosts?

Just picturing this idea made Ji Qingqing feel bad.

“We’ll take it. Once the paperwork for the cemetery plot is prepared in accordance to regulations, bring it over to me.”

Mr. Wang repeatedly nodded and stammered out, “O-Okay…”

After agreeing, Mr. Wang scurried out of the villa in trepidation. He didn’t want to face Elder Lu as well as Aunty Pei’s gloomy stares a second longer.

“Young Master, you’re still so young. Why are you buying a cemetery plot? That’s so unlucky!”

Elder Lu waved his hand. “Alright, let’s drop the subject now that he’s already made the decision to buy it. Go have the servants burn the items that’s being stored in the other building.

There was a small building on the right side of the villa. This was the building that the servants lived in. Three days ago, when Elder Lu had ordered them to start funeral preparations, they had brought a lot of items to be used in the funeral and stored those items in that building.

He glanced at his grandson. “Lixing, you just came back from the hospital. You should go to your room to rest.”

Then, he looked at Ji Qingqing. “Qingqing, there’s something I want to say to you. Can you come to my study with me to talk?”

Ji Qingqing nodded. She glared at Lu Lixing for buying a cemetery plot for her before following Elder Lu to his study.

Elder Lu had her sit on the study’s sofa before he said anything.

The old man was genial and kind. He looked at Ji Qingqing as if she was his granddaughter. “How are you doing? Have you gotten used to living here?”

Ji Qingqing more or less guessed what Elder Lu wanted to say to her. She nodded and said, “It’s been pretty good.”

“That’s good. If you need anything, just talk to Aunty Pei. She’ll arrange for the servants to handle it for you.” Elder Lu looked at her with his kind gaze and a smile. “Qingqing ah, I won’t talk in circles about why I ask you to come here to talk today. You probably know why I was looking for you three days ago and why I asked you to come to the hospital at that time. Lixing is a child that I raised myself. At that time, he was still seriously injured from the car accident. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, I wouldn’t be willing to easily give up on it.

“Elder Lu, I can understand how you feel.”
