Lu Weixi nodded. “I know, Xue Feifei sent me a screenshot.”
Qin Zhiyou slightly tensed, damn Xue Feifei! He leaned a little closer, his eyes fixed on her without blinking. “And you? Are you…?”
Lu Weixi didn’t notice the slight tremor in Qin Zhiyou’s voice.
She also understood why Qin Zhiyou was so concerned about her views of Qin Zhigu. Even without considering their past conflicts, she was now Qin Zhiyou’s wife. Regardless of how much she was valued, a man’s wife is different from other women; she absolutely can not be the subject of scrutiny.
She formally said, “Zhiyou, I’m your wife now. Whatever happened between him and me is in the past. Since I chose to marry you, I will naturally leave all the past behind. He will do the same.”
Qin Zhiyou was very close to her, his arm resting on the door, his upper body slanting over her. His eyes were so close to hers, only ten centimeters apart, and she could even smell his breath. He was looking at her as if he wanted to bore a hole through her with his gaze.
“Is what you said true?” His other arm also came up, his eyes so intense it seemed like he would devour her if she said a single word of disagreement.
His gaze was too sharp, causing her to lower her head slightly and look towards his chest, only managing to hum a “yes” after a while.
Even though she could sense that Lu Weixi’s nod had an element of passivity, when he saw her lowering her eyebrows and nodding, Qin Zhiyou’s heart was filled with an overflowing joy as if a spring breeze had suddenly arrived, causing thousands of pear trees to bloom.
Seeing her with her head lowered, he could not help but move closer, wanting to kiss her and hug her, to lift her up in his arms.
Just as he was about to move closer, there was a knock on the door, followed by a servant’s voice: “Young Master, Young Madam, dinner is ready.”
Both Qin Zhiyou and Lu Weixi were startled. He immediately pulled back his hand, concealing his intentions. As Lu Weixi looked up, she saw a man with a calm and elegant face, his eyes light. Qin Zhiyou casually replied, “Okay, we’re coming down now.”
Then, he looked at her, his eyes no longer as sharp as before, his voice gentle. “Remember what you said earlier. Don’t do anything dishonorable. Don’t embarrass me.”
Lu Weixi looked up, her face full of anger. What kind of person did this man take her for? Her moral compass was very high, unlike his!
Seeing him extend his arm, seemingly expecting her to take his arm, she ignored him. In a huff, she opened the door and headed downstairs. Qin Zhiyou couldn’t help but smile as he watched her walk away. After a while, he suppressed his smile and followed her downstairs.
Downstairs, the lights were bright. Old Master Qin sat in the center of the main table, flanked by Qin Weijian and Qin Weijia on either side. Next to them, respectively, were Kong Jie and the Qin siblings, Qin Zhizha and Qin Zhimei. Qin Zhiyou and Lu Weixi sat at the farthest end of the table. Qin Weijia’s husband, Chang Zaigang, a university professor, was leading a team on a research trip, so he wasn’t home.
Despite the family’s constant squabbling, they remained silent during meals. But as soon as they finished eating, a new round of battles began.
Just as this new round of battles was starting, a new member joined. The sound of a car came from outside, and a servant reported, “The Madam has returned..”
