Chapter 77 - Lu Lixing the parvenu and his delicate wife (2)

Since they were outside, Ji Qingqing gave him face by agreeably accepting the credit card.

"Please go wait in the VIP lounge for a bit while we pack up your purchases." After saying this, the store employee led the two of them to the VIP lounge.

The lounge had a small couch and table as well as everything else a waiting customer would need. As soon as Lu Lixing sat down, he pulled at his neat tie to loosen it. He finally felt as if he could breathe again. He asked the store employee, "Is there any wine?"

Many international first-tier brand name stores would have wine available for their customers.

"Yes, please wait for a bit."

The furrow between Ji Qingqing's brow deepened. "Mr. Lu, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

"If you're fine, why are you drinking?"

Lu Lixing quietly looked at her. "Drinking my sorrows away."

"Your credit card..." Ji Qingqing took out her wallet.

"Keep it," Lu Lixing said.

After Ji Qingqing contemplated for a bit, she put her wallet back into her purse. It could be seen as accepting the credit card.

"... Thank you for buying those clothes for me today." Ji Qingqing still felt a bit unsettled. She had just spent a little over half a million yuan of Lu Lixing's money while the belt that she had bought him was on the lower end of five-figures. Her gift felt stingy in comparison, and she hesitated with taking it out.

"You don't need to thank me. I would have been happier if you had used my card from the very beginning."

He was talking about paying for the prayer beads.

"I only did that to make grandpa happy. Imagine how happy grandpa will be when we tell him that it's a gift from both of us."

Lu Lixing fake smiled. "Yeah, he would be very happy."

Ji Qingqing didn't say anything.

Why did Lu Lixing's smile look so off?

The store employee brought over two glasses of red wine.

Lu Lixing took the glass and drank it all in one gulp.

The alcohol helped temporarily slow down his racing heart. He closed his eyes and gradually calmed down.

Seeing Lu Lixing behaving so oddly, even though Ji Qingqing didn't know why, she vaguely felt that it was related to her somehow?

"I'm sorry." Ji Qingqing looked apologetic. She quietly said, "I shouldn't have made that decision without consulting you. I guess... that my actions must have caused you a lot of trouble. But, don't worry. This will be the last time. It won't happen again."

Lu Lixing opened his eyes and looked at Ji Qingqing. He really wanted to curse at her to vent his feelings, but as soon as he saw the sincere apology on her face, he sighed. "Never mind, it's not your fault."

Ji Qingqing had already prepared herself to be yelled at. She didn't expect Lu Lixing to drop the matter so easily. Closing her eyes, she beamed, "Thank you, hubby."

-- "1 point has been added to your life. You currently have 11 hours to live."

When everything was okay, she called him Mr. Lu. When she was in trouble, she called him hubby.

Ha, women.

After the store employees had quickly packed up the purchased clothes, the two of them left the mall with their purchases and went home together. The car's trunk was stuffed with today's shopping spree.

Once they got home, Ji Qingqing presented the sandalwood box that had the prayer beads to Elder Lu. "Grandpa, take a look. It's a gift from the both of us."

Elder Lu saw the sandalwood box and slightly froze in surprise for a moment. He looked at Ji Qingqing, then he looked at his grandson. "Both of you?"

"Yeah, it's from both of us."

Elder Lu's gaze linger on them. The smile in his eyes seemed to be overflowing. "Wonderful! Grandpa is happy to see that the two of you are so devoted in filial piety as a married couple. Grandpa will accept your gift."

The old man accepted the sandalwood box, opened it, and saw a bracelet with 49 prayer beads. Elder Lu was even more pleased than before.
