My Wife is My Life!-Chapter 333

The situation on the Internet seemed to have nothing to do with Ji Qingqing. She did not pay attention to what was happening online and only waited for her wedding day to arrive with a laid-back attitude.

The wedding date was getting closer and closer so Grandpa Lu started hand-writing invitations for his relatives and friends in the study room. Ji Qingqing accompanied him and was currently grinding his inkstone.

Grandpa Lu’s calligraphy was worthy of being called the best. Each stroke was elegant and precise, creating a powerful effect.

Ji Qingqing admiringly said, “Grandpa, your calligraphy is so good.”

Grandpa Lu waved his brush grandly and burst out laughing. “Grandpa has been practicing calligraphy since he was young, how could it be ugly? If you’re interested, Grandpa can teach you.”

“That’s great!”

Putting the finished invitation aside, Grandpa Lu picked up his brush and was about to start writing another one when he suddenly remembered something. He looked up at Ji Qingqing and asked, “Qingqing, has Lixing been coming home late lately?”

Ji Qingqing wasn’t too concerned at all. “No, he says he’s been busy with work lately.”

Grandpa Lu knitted his brows tightly and put down his brush. “There’s one week left before your wedding day, yet he’s still coming home late every day, not taking care of you. If he comes home tonight, let me talk to him.”

Ji Qingqing quickly explained, “Grandpa, it’s fine, there’s not much for him to do for the wedding anyway. Let him focus on work first, I’ll take care of the wedding. Don’t worry about it, nothing will go wrong.”

“This isn’t just about the wedding.” Grandpa Lu said in a deep voice. “Marriage is a matter between two people and needs to be taken care of by both. He always focuses on work and ignores you. In the long run, this type of getting along would strain your relationship. Many times, emotions fade because of time and distance. Do you understand?”

Ji Qingqing nodded her head. “I understand. But I have confidence in Lu Lixing.”

At ten o’clock in the evening, Lu Lixing returned home with a tired look on his face. Ji Qingqing told him that Grandpa was looking for him. But before leaving, she said to Lu Lixing, “Husband, if work is too busy, it’s okay. I can understand.”

Lu Lixing’s face showed a hint of apology and exhaustion. He had been really busy lately, but he shouldn’t put aside his family for anything that wasn’t important, especially not a week before the wedding.

“I’m sorry, I’ve been too busy lately, letting you handle the wedding preparations alone.”

“What do you mean by handling it alone, don’t I still have Grandpa and Aunt Pei? I’m not

tired, go quickly, don’t let Grandpa wait anxiously,” she said as she pushed him out of the door.

Lu Lixing smiled and went to Grandpa Lu’s room.

Inside the room, Grandpa Lu was not sleeping. Instead, he was sitting at his desk, reading files. Lu Lixing approached him and softly said, “Grandpa, were you looking for me?”

Grandpa Lu looked up at him and interrogated, “Is something wrong with the company these past few days?”

He knew his grandson very well. If there was no problem with the company, Lu Lixing wouldn’t have been working late every night, especially not when his wedding date was this close.

Lu Lixing hesitated for a moment, then said, “The Sino-US trade war has started and many companies that cooperated with American companies have been affected. Our company’s foreign business has also received a significant impact.”

Grandpa Lu immediately knew the stakes upon hearing this. “Is it serious?”

“It’s quite tricky. We may need to send someone to go over there and understand the situation if we don’t want to give up the foreign market.”

Grandpa Lu was silent for a moment. He then put on his glasses, opened his computer to get the gist of the current situation, and asked in a low voice, “What’s your plan?”

Lu Lixing firmly said, “The foreign market cannot be given up. Therefore, I will personally fly to the United States tomorrow to take care of the matter and return in two days.”

“Can the problem be solved in two days?”

Lu Lixing could not guarantee anything as of now. So he only said, “I will try my best.”

The current situation was dire and two days are estimated to be insufficient to solve the problem, but he could only spare two days of time before the wedding.

“Mr. Gu contacted me a while ago.”

Grandpa Lu hesitated and asked, “I remember that his company has many businesses abroad. Has it also been affected?”

Lu Lixing nodded. “The impact of this incident is quite big for them. It’s said that the Gu family has lost billions of dollars since the start of the trade war. With the current situation, I predict that if the Gu family can survive, it will incur a large loss and take a long time to recover. But if they won’t be able to survive… the result will only end in acquisition or bankruptcy.”

He paused and continued, “Mr. Gu was hospitalized due to illness the day before yesterday and is unable to handle the situation. I worry that Gu Shaoyu can’t handle the current situation…”

Grandpa Lu sighed heavily after thinking for a long time. “I’ll go to the hospital to see him tomorrow. However, this matter… Each family has its own fate. You try to help as much as you can, but if it’s not possible, forget about it.”

“Got it.”

Grandpa Lu put his hand on his shoulder. “You’ve worked hard, go and rest.”

“You too, get some rest earlier.”

After that, he left Grandpa Lu’s room.

Back in the room, Ji Qingqing was fast asleep with her head resting on the headboard. Lu Lixing took away the magazine in her hand to let her sleep more freely. But, he didn’t expect that as soon as he took away the book in her hand, Ji Qingqing would wake up.

She looked at Lu Lixing dazedly. “You’re back? Grandpa didn’t keep you much longer?”

“No.”

“Then go take a shower quickly. I’ve put the clothes in the bathroom for you.”

But Lu Lixing didn’t move. Instead, he continued to stare at her.

“What’s the matter?”

“Sorry, I’ve been too busy with work recently and neglected you.”

Ji Qingqing smiled slightly and said understandingly, “I thought it was something else. No worries, go ahead and work if you’re busy, I can understand.”

Lu Lixing felt a slight stir in his heart and felt a warm feeling fill his chest.

Having such an understanding and considerate wife was his biggest luck in this lifetime.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Ji Qingqing say, “Later, I’ll go to the film set to act for three months, or even half a year. At that time, you’ll have to be tolerant and understanding of me.”

“…”
