Chapter 337
Ji Qingqing chose to film One Step to World Domination which was set in ancient times. She played the role of the prime minister’s carefree daughter during the first ten episodes, but she was repeatedly used by the male protagonist for his own gains.
Even though she only had a few scenes, her role was quite endearing and fascinating. Many viewers gushed about her in the drama’s discussion forum.
Ji Qingqing glanced at it occasionally, mainly because there was no longer ridicule directed toward her, so it became easier to read other people’s comments.
What was even more coincidental was that the day before her wedding, the program Let’s Fall in Love was also being broadcast exclusively on the same TV station.
On the day it started airing, its ratings remained high. Although viewers knew that all the three couples on the show were acting and that some scenes had been leaked before the show broadcasted, this did not deter their enthusiasm for the show.
Ji Qingqing, who had just made an appearance on the TV station, was once again pushed to the top of the hot search.
There were countless discussions about her, whether it was because of her and her family’s tearful predicament due to the male lead in her ancient drama series or because of her sweet interaction with Lu Lixing in the variety show.
Many netizens particularly thought that Ji Qingqing and Lu Lixing’s interaction was natural and sweet. Some people saved video clips of whenever they looked into each other’s eyes and shared sweet intimate moments together. Many agreed that the two formed an extremely seductive pair, making the audience feel like they were drowning in sweetness and excitement.
Three days later, the wedding of Ji Qingqing and Lu Lixing was about to begin in less than 36 hours. Yet the heated discussion about Ji Qingqing’s shows still continued on Weibo.

The 20th of July was a great day. The sky was clear and blue, especially suitable for marriage.
But the night before the wedding, Ji Qingqing wasn’t able to fall asleep. Grandpa Lu said the two of them shouldn’t meet the day before the wedding. So she had to stay back in her apartment and let Lu Lixing pick her up tomorrow.
At that time, Ji Qingqing smiled understandingly, obeying Grandpa Lu’s intention. She originally planned to stay in her apartment a day before their marriage. Lu Lixing drove the car himself and sent her back to the apartment in the city center.
The wedding dress had already been placed in the cloakroom of her bedroom. The makeup artist was scheduled to do her makeup early tomorrow morning, and only then will Lu Lixing be able to pick her up for the wedding.
It was a simple process that didn’t even require any thought on her part. All she had to do was be a beautiful bride the next day and accept everyone’s blessings.
But because it was too simple, she become nervous whenever she thought about it.
Lu Lixing took her hand and felt the wetness of her palm. He fondly smiled.
“Nervous?”
“A bit.”
Lu Lixing smiled and did not say a word.
Ji Qingqing looked at the rising elevator. Seeing that Lu Lixing was not comforting himself, she glanced at him. “You’re not even going to comfort me?”
Lu Lixing looked at Ji Qingqing from the elevator mirror and said, “It’s normal to have emotional ups and downs. After all, it’s impossible to stay calm about such a big thing as marriage.”
Ji Qingqing still stared at him lightly.
Lu Lixing turned his head to meet her gaze, and said smilingly, “I hope you can be a little more nervous, a little more excited about marrying me.”
Ji Qingqing looked at him jokingly. “Do you want to marry me so much?”
Lu Lixing asked her rhetorically, “So nervous and eager to marry me?”
Ji Qingqing’s lips curled lightly, her eyes full of mirth, “Yes, I really want to marry you so that I can spend your money fairly in the future.”
“I can’t wait to marry you and let you spend my money.”
Ding——
The elevator door opened.
Lu Lixing took Ji Qingqing’s hand and walked out.
After the door to her room opened, Ji Qingqing turned around and hugged Lu Lixing’s neck. Lu Lixing leaned in and kissed her on the lips.
The two kissed inextricably toward the doorway and accidentally touched the light button on the wall. In an instant, the entire living room lit up.
Ji Chengqi and Ji Chengyu stood on the sofa holding the cake and watched the two kissing quietly. They glanced at each other and didn’t dare to make a sound.
The two people over there probably didn’t notice that there were still people in the living room.
Ji Chengqi asked Ji Chengyu with his eyes what to do.
Don’t move or talk.
