After saying that, Yang Mogui didn’t say anything else, he turned around and left directly.

Qin Zhiyou watched his mother leave, and he himself didn’t move forward either. After a long time, she only heard him throwing a heavy punch at the tree trunk, causing the leaves to rustle.

They were bound by a business marriage, feeling nothing for each other. It was already awkward enough for two people who didn’t love each other to be tied together out of impulse, yet they were still expected to procreate and nurture a new generation.

She crouched under the tree while he stood not too far behind her. Though they were not far apart, the distance between two people who had never opened up to each other was immeasurable. After an unknown amount of time, she heard Qin Zhiyou sigh heavily behind her, followed by the sound of his slow footsteps leaving in another direction.

She slowly got up, her legs felt numb after crouching for so long, and it took her a while to regain strength leaning against the tree before she started her way back.

After this incident, she didn’t feel like taking walks anymore. She returned to her room dispiritedly and found that Qin Zhiyou hadn’t returned yet. The dew was heavy in the early morning, leaving her clothes slightly damp and her hands and feet cold. As soon as she returned, she took off her coat, kicked off her shoes, and wrapped herself in the blanket.

Despite this, her hands and feet were still cold.

It was an unknown length of time before Qin Zhiyou came back from outside. Upon returning, he saw Lu Weixi huddled at the head of the bed, tightly wrapped in a blanket, her face slightly pale. He frowned, apparently wanting to say something, but held back upon seeing a hint of her resistive gaze.

Qin Zhiyou gulped, unaware that she had overheard his conversation with his mother, mistakenly believing that she was angry about his “violence” last night. In reality, the remedy given by Yang Mogui couldn’t be that strong, he was simply using it as an excuse to get closer to her.

Thanks to his mother’s assistance, he didn’t know how else he could get close to her after what happened in the bathroom the previous time. However, the annoying part was the persistent pressure from his mother and grandfather to have children, despite them not being ready yet. If the pressure became too great, who knows what Lu Weixi would do then.

Lu Weixi saw him frowning, not saying a word, and heading straight to sit at the desk. He pulled out a book and started reading without looking at her. She breathed a slight sigh of relief, but soon, she lightly chuckled with a hint of amusement.

He clearly didn’t want children either, his approach last night was due to the drug. Once they sobered up, they were both aware of their emotional distance and established a mutual understanding.

He read his book and she played with her phone, neither of them uttered a word until there were noises from outside.

Qin Zhiyou put down his book and got up, and she also sat up from the bed. They both freshened up and left the room together. At the door, Qin Zhiyou bent his arm for her. Lu Weixi didn’t really want to walk out with him arm in arm, but after hesitating for a while, she followed him.

The moment they stepped outside, they were thankful the mansion had good soundproofing. Otherwise, the whole family would know about their rowdy behavior the previous night. Qin Zhizha and Qin Zhimei, the two siblings, glanced at them indifferently and turned away, yawning. Their uncle and aunt also ignored them.

Somehow, the conversation turned to the maiden voyage of the Hanhai cruise ship next month. It was also the fiftieth anniversary of the Hanhai Group, an event of great significance. Qin Zhimei shouted that she wanted to book a dress early, wanting to attend the event looking beautiful.

Yang Mogui said: “Wei Hui will go with you, won’t she?”

If she did go, it would be her first public appearance as Mrs. Qin..
