Hanhai Group made its start in architecture, naturally, they held a high regard for young talents in architectural design. Lu Weixi also held a certain admiration for Simon White. Despite never having met or knowing much about him, she just had a gut feeling that Simon White’s ideas resonated with some of her own.
Take for instance, the iconic design he conceived inspired by a local sea bird species in Southern Europe that catapulted him to fame.
She spoke of such a totem on Valentine’s Day during her sophomore year, saying to someone, “Have you heard of a sea bird species in Southern Europe that supposedly only has one mate for life? If it loses its mate, it prefers to stay alone for the rest of its life. At fishing times, you can hear it circling and mourning, calling out to its lost love. The locals really like it and depict its image on their architecture. I really want to go to Southern Europe and see this bird for myself.”
The young man she spoke to slightly furrowed his brows, then firmly nodded, “Then I hope I’m like that sea bird.”
Lu Weixi immediately pouted, displeased: “So, you mean I’m going to die young, right?”
If it were Qin Zhiyou, he would likely have quickly retorted with something like, “So you’re admitting you’re my mate, right?”
But the young man was just sweating, a bit panicked, “No, that’s not what I mean. I mean, I will only love you in this lifetime. If I lose you, I’d rather be alone for the rest of my life.”
Even though Lu Weixi feigned anger at the time, turning her back against him and ignoring him, she felt quite sweet inside.
But later on, she learned that men can be liars. While his words were still ringing in her ears, he soon stood by someone else’s side.
Lu Weixi squinted her eyes, there was more than an hour before the 8 p.m. banquet. Her goal was to hand over the design draft to Mr. Liao before Qin Zhiyou and his acquaintances could notice her presence, then leave the outcome to fate. Simon White might be a legend, but he had nothing to do with her. He was just a stranger passing by. It would be nice to have a chance to work together, but it would be no regret if there was no opportunity.
She mildly withdrew her gaze, turned, and walked into her cabin room.
At the same time, two floors above Lu Weixi’s room, in Qin Zhiyou’s number one suite.
Qin Zhiyou was sitting with his back to the desk, in a swivel chair facing the vast sea. Secretary Wang was standing behind the desk, reporting sentence by sentence.
“The second master and his wife didn’t seem to be doing anything for now. As for young master Zhi and Miss Mei, as soon as they boarded the ship, they began getting friendly with many people. The grand aunt didn’t do anything either, she only asked one question, ‘Did you come alone, Mr. Qin, or have you brought a female companion?”‘
Secretary Wang finished speaking, but Qin Zhiyou remained silent. He kept his head down, long eyelashes slightly drooping, toying with a plain ring with one finger.
Qin Zhiyou never wore a wedding ring. Firstly, he found it troublesome and everyone in Yan City knew he was married, regardless if he wore a ring or not. Secondly, only he would wear one, the other party had never worn the ring since their wedding day.
But today, in the absence of that someone, he wore the ring.
In formal occasions like this, he didn’t want her to be “absent.” Secondly, on their wedding day, she had personally slipped the ring onto his finger.
“Young Master Su doesn’t seem to be making a return,” Secretary Wang continued reporting, “However, someone did board the ship, Simon White.”
