Chapter 715: Chapter 713 No Problem_1

Xia Ningxing didn’t make a big fuss, only inviting a few close relatives and friends.

Jiang Qingchen came early in the morning with a gift.

"Muxia, happy birthday!" he said gently while handing her the gift.

"Thank you, Qingchen," Muxia smiled radiantly as she accepted it and opened it to find a box of candy.

This candy was produced in limited quantities, with only a few boxes available worldwide, making it very hard to come by.

But she loved it dearly.

"Qingchen, how did you manage to get such hard-to-find candy?" Muxia asked curiously as she unwrapped a piece of candy with her small hand and began to eat it.

Jiang Qingchen smiled and said, "As long as you enjoy it, no matter how hard it is to find, I will get it for you."

"Qingchen, you’re really nice, just like my own brother!" the little girl said with a smile, looking up.

At night, the courtyard was lit with fireworks.

Bunches of fireworks shot ten meters into the air, bursting with sparkling, dazzling sparks.

Lu Tingli wrapped his arms around Xia Ningxing’s shoulders as they stood on the balcony watching, while several children ran around below with their sparklers, letting out joyful squeals.

This scene filled Lu Tingli’s chest with a sense of happiness.

"Now, it’s really nice," Lu Tingli hugged Xia Ningxing tighter.

Xia Ningxing smiled, "Yes, it’s really nice."

Love bloomed beautifully, careers peaked, children were all around.

Many people long for such a life, and they had it all.

Just as Lu Tingli thought this happiness would last forever, a sudden uncontrollable sensation of fainting surged in his mind.

He couldn’t help but raise his hand to his temple to steady himself.

"Lu, what’s wrong?" Xia Ningxing noticed his abnormality and looked at him with frowning concern.

The fainting sensation was brief, and Lu Tingli lowered his hand, shaking his head with a normal expression, "Don’t worry, I’m fine; it was just a bit of dizziness, probably from the noise of the fireworks."

"It really is a bit loud; let’s go inside," Xia Ningxing said, holding back her desire to continue watching the fireworks for his well-being.

"Okay," Lu Tingli said, taking her hand and entering the bedroom together.

After getting to the bedroom, Lu Tingli went to the bathroom.

While washing his hands, he suddenly felt a warm, wet liquid gushing from his nostrils.

Lu Tingli froze, stopping his hand washing.

Then, instinctively, he looked up to see his reflection in the mirror.

Twin streams of bright red blood were continuously flowing down, looking horrifically eerie.

How could he be suddenly bleeding from the nose?

Lu Tingli frowned, immediately grabbing some tissue paper to wipe the blood away.

Then he turned the faucet to maximum, continuously splashing his forehead with cold water.

The cold water against the warm skin instantly calmed his nerves.

Suddenly, Lu Tingli remembered something.

In another month or so, he would be thirty years old!

It was around this time that his body had begun showing various ailments.

Like sudden fainting episodes, inexplicable nosebleeds, until eventually every single one of his organs began failing without warning, leading to death.

Now...

The same situation was reoccurring!

Panic and fear instantly took over Lu Tingli’s chest, rapidly swallowing up the feeling of happiness he had just felt, leaving only a deep sense of despair.

So, was he going to die young again?

Lu Tingli almost felt a suffocating sense of oppression, and if he hadn’t been gripping the edge of the washbasin so tightly, he might have collapsed on the floor right then.

He had been so careful with his health this time; why was this still happening?

Lu Tingli closed his long eyes in despair, his eyelashes trembling slightly.

Once, when he knew he was going to die, he was actually very calm.

After all, he was alone with no attachments, so if he died, then he died.

But now, he had a wife, a son, and a daughter; he was extremely happy, and he didn’t want to die!

Not at all!

He hadn’t yet grown old with Xia Ningxing.

He hadn’t yet seen his children marry and establish their own careers.

How could he die now and be content?

A tear suddenly fell from Lu Tingli’s tightly closed eyes.

The intense pain in his heart made his whole body curl up like a shrimp, unable to recover for a long time.

"Lu?"

It wasn’t until Xia Ningxing’s puzzled voice came from outside the bathroom.

"Why have you been in there so long?"

Lu Tingli then came back to his senses; he frantically flushed the tissue with nosebleed into the toilet, destroying the evidence.

And then lied, "My stomach is a bit upset."

His voice was weak, as if his stomach was truly uncomfortable.

Xia Ningxing was extremely worried, her brows immediately knit together, "Is it severe? Should I get you some medicine?"

"No need, no need. It’s already much better," Lu Tingli said hastily.

"..."

But there was no sound from outside.

If he wasn’t mistaken, Xia Ningxing must have gone to get medicine for stomach ache.

At the bottom of Lu Tingli’s heart, a tinge of bitterness surfaced.

She loved him so much; how heartbroken would she be if she knew his time was almost up?

"Lu, what’s wrong with you?" Xia Ningxing, holding medicine, came in and saw Lu Tingli standing by the window, lost in thought, looking very off.

"Did something happen?" Xia Ningxing’s heart raced; furrowing her brows, she set down the medicine, moved to his side, and asked with concern.

Lu Tingli lowered his gaze, looking at her worried face, and stretched out a finger to smooth the frown between her brows, "It’s nothing."

His voice was hoarse as he spoke.

How could he speak of something so sad?

As for a cure, it was impossible.

His illness was incurable. He had visited many doctors and pharmacologists, all to no avail. He didn’t want Xia Ningxing to waste her time on him for nothing.

Moreover, once his illness struck, he didn’t have much time left; he still had many things undone. So, it was impossible to waste all his time in a hospital ward.

"Are you really okay?" Xia Ningxing always felt something was not quite right, but couldn’t pinpoint exactly what.

Lu Tingli smiled, showing a safe smile, "Of course I’m okay. Oh, wife, I need to go on a business trip for a few days."

Given his current condition, he couldn’t stay at home any longer, or else Xia Ningxing would discover it at any moment.

Then, she would definitely try to treat him by force.

And then, he wouldn’t be able to do the things he wanted to do.

Xia Ningxing immediately asked, "Where are you going? How many days will you need?"

"To UA, about seven or eight days," he replied.

Xia Ningxing lifted a smiling face, "Do you want me to accompany you?"

Lu Tingli had fabricated the business trip to distance himself from her, so how could he possibly let her follow? He immediately refused, "No need. You stay home with the kids."

Somewhere deep down, Xia Ningxing felt something off.

Before, when she would talk about joining him on a business trip, he would be overjoyed, but now why was he so cold?

But suspicions aside, Xia Ningxing still respected his wishes, "Okay then."

Lu Tingli touched her soft hair again, caring, "I still have some work tonight. I’ll head to the study first; it’s probably going to take a long time, so don’t wait up for me and go to bed early."
