Lu Lixing replied with a light ‘mhm’ and then went into the bathroom.
The next morning, Lu Lixing woke up early, washed up, and headed for the company. As soon as he left, Ji Qingqing carried her suitcase out and bid farewell to Old Lu and Aunt Pei.
“Qingqing, remember to take care of yourself when you’re outside alone. Don’t tire yourself out.”
“Grandpa, you too! You must take care of your body. I’ll be back in two to three months. Aunt Pei, you should take care of your body too. I will rely on you to take care of grandpa as well.”
“Don’t worry about us.”
The driver put Ji Qingqing’s suitcase in the trunk of the car and then drove her to meet up with Qin Yue at Tianyu Entertainment.
Due to the instructions from the higher-ups and from seeing how well Lu Lixing treated Ji Qingqing, Qin Yue was now extra careful when he managed Ji Qingqing’s affairs. He had personally accompanied her to meet up with the crew.
The plane will depart at 12:30 and it will land at 4:30 in the afternoon. Currently, it was almost 5:30 at the hotel. Since it was already quite late, the crew decided to postpone their plans until the next day.
At this time, President Lu was still working at his desk.
Lu Lixing received a call from Chen Shuyi.
“Lixing, there will be a reception at the company tomorrow. It will start at six o’clock in the afternoon, so please check with your schedule to see if you have the time to attend.”
Lu Lixing glanced at his schedule. It was obvious that his assistant already knew about the reception in advance since he had left an empty slot at six o’clock tomorrow afternoon in his schedule.
“Do I need to bring a female companion to the reception with me?”
Chen Shuyi chuckled and said, “I didn’t expect this day to ever come. I never expected the word, ‘female companion’ to have come out from your mouth one day. Anyways, who are you planning to bring along?”
“Ji Qingqing.”
Chen Shuyi was taken aback by his response and quickly asked, “Didn’t she leave for filming? It will take her seven to eight hours to fly from here and back. Are you really willing to make your wife go through all this trouble?”
“Filming?” Lu Lixing was also taken aback, “She left for filming?”
“Didn’t you know? She will have to board the plane at noon today.”
Lu Lixing was not well informed on this matter.
When Ji Qingqing discussed work matters with him last night, he merely thought she meant that she will be shooting another in a studio, just like before.
“Why didn’t you tell me about this in advance?!”
“President Lu, are you serious? Why would I inform you about a small celebrity’s departure for her filming? Moreover, you never told me to keep you informed about her whereabouts, so how would I know?”
Lu Lixing frowned, “How long will she be gone?”
“I believe the filming will take one to two months.” Chen Shuyi jokingly said, “Are you feeling impatient now that she’s gone? If you are, then you can just board a plane and go find her. Since the two of you are newlyweds, it’s not good for the two of you to be separated for a prolonged period of time. You had been working rigorously for many years, have you never thought about giving yourself a vacation?”
One to two months…Lu Lixing’s frown deepened. But in the next moment, he calmed down.
“You’re thinking too much. She has her job and I have my own job. How can I accompany her all the time? I’m going to hang up.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and dialed Ji Qingqing’s phone number.
The call was quickly connected.
“Did you meet up with the crew yet?”
“Yes!” Ji Qingqing sounded like she was in a good mood today, “I told you I will be heading back to work last night.”
Lu Lixing asked, “Do you like the environment?”
“It’s alright. The hotel I’m staying at is not bad.”
Lu Lixing fell silent for a moment before he urged her, “Take care of yourself.”
“Don’t worry, I will. If you don’t have anything else to tell me, then I’ll hang up now because I have to read the script. Goodbye, hubby!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she hung up the call.
The screen turned black when the call ended.
Lu Lixing was as still as a statue as he waited. He was waiting for the system to notify him about his health point increasing, but even after a long time, there was nothing from the system.
——“The system recommends that the host have his wife call him ‘hubby’ face to face. Health points will only be awarded if the interaction is done face to face.”
Hiss——
The pen in Lu Lixing’s hand scratched through the document on his desk.
“…Why didn’t you tell me earlier!!”
