Chapter 222
Ji Qingqing watched Si Si enthusiastically running about on the lawn. She laughed and turned to Aunt Pei. “Aunt Pei, Si Si didn’t cause any trouble for you during this period of time, right?”
“It didn’t. Si Si has been very obedient. Why would it cause any trouble for me?”
“That’s good. I was worried that you found it troublesome to take care of it. Now to think of it, I must have worried too much.”
Si Si bit the frisbee and ran into Aunt Pei’s arms. Aunt Pei took the frisbee from its mouth and looked at Ji Qingqing confusedly. “It wasn’t troublesome. Si Si accompanies me and Old Lu all day and we were really happy. Although it’s my first time taking care of a dog, I went to look up what dogs can and couldn’t eat. The internet has everything you can think of.”
Ji Qingqing was a little stunned. “It’s your first time taking care of one?”
“Yes, why?” Aunt Pei stroked Si Si’s long fur. “Wasn’t Si Si taken care of pretty well by me?”
“No, no, no” Ji Qingqing immediately replied, “That wasn’t what I meant. What I meant was, didn’t you take care of a dog before?”
“No ah.”
“But…” Ji Qingqing grew more bewildered. “Didn’t you take care of a dog named ‘Baby’ before?”
Hearing her reply, Aunt Pei also became confused. “Since when did I take care of a dog named ‘Baby’?”
Aunt Pei didn’t? That means Lu Lixing was lying.
But why would Lu Lixing tell her that lie?
Ji Qingqing racked her brains but still couldn’t understand.
“Madame, what’s wrong? Who was the one who told you that?”
“Nevermind.” Ji Qingqing laughed forcefully. “I must have remembered wrongly.”
Then, her phone started to ring.
Ji Qingqing stood up and answered it. It was Qin Yue.
“Brother Qin, what is it?”
Qin Yue couldn’t hide the excitement in his voice. “Qingqing, do you know what President Lu said when he called me earlier?”
“What did he say?”
“He told me to help arrange it for you to participate in Director Wang’s《Let’s Date》dating program!”
When Ji Qingqing heard him, she was stunned. Lu Lixing is letting her participate in this program?
“Wait, are you sure he wants me to participate in it?”
“Yes, he personally said so himself!”
Ji Qingqing grew doubtful. Lu Lixing actually agreed to let her participate in this program?
It’s a program that blatantly lets the sheep loose on his head and he agreed?
TL note: ‘let the sheep loose on his head’ means opposing someone to do [doing as you please/whatever you want/act in undisciplined manned].
How is that possible?!
“Does he know the nature of this program?”
“He’s aware. I’ve already explained it to President Lu and he was fine with it. Qingqing, look, since President Lu agreed to let you attend this program, there’s no need for you to have further reservations. Let’s make good use of this program; this will be the key to reversing your situation!” As Qin Yue was worried that Ji Qingqing still had reservations, he continued to go on, “I’ve met with Director Wang, the program’s director, and I’ve also looked through the program’s schedule. As long as the production crew doesn’t randomly cut scenes, we’ll be fine!”
Ji Qingqing pondered for a bit. Overall, she felt that it was impossible for Lu Lixing to agree so readily. After all, two days ago, didn’t he frown and ask whether she was going to attend it or not?
“How about this, Brother Qin, let me spend some time to consider this tonight. Tomorrow I’ll give you an answer.”
“Alright. Then I’ll wait for your reply tomorrow.”
“En.” After speaking, the call ended.
“Madame, what happened?” Aunt Pei noticed Ji Qingqing’s troubled expression and asked concernedly.
Ji Qingqing took a deep breath. The more she thought the more she felt that this wasn’t something that Lu Lixing would agree to. They were already planning for the wedding. Does he think that she does not have enough rumors following her around?”
“It’s related to work.”
