Qin Zhiyou was still in his suit, his tie cinched tightly. He had come alone, without his secretary, Wang. Fortunately, the door to the room was automatic and closed on its own, emitting a “click” sound.
She leaned uncomfortably against her computer. Upon seeing her frown, seemingly discontented, Qin Zhiyou’s mood grew even more turbulent. He swiped the laptop away with a big hand, sending it falling beneath the bed before she even had the chance to lament over her computer…
Qin Zhiyou seldom acted so harshly. In their five years of marriage, she could sense the myriad of emotions wrapped in his anger, perhaps resentment, maybe jealousy, or other tangled considerations.
She didn’t have to think too hard to come to a conclusion: Qin Zhigu.
He worried that his grandfather might like Qin Zhigu more, and concerned that the shareholders in the company would favor him. He was probably also a bit angry with himself, fearing unresolved feelings between her and Qin Zhigu might lead him to wear a cuckold’s hat.
A man’s anger is often about women and dignity, both of which Qin Zhigu could damage.
But when she faced Qin Zhigu, she indeed felt a little lost and wavering. Therefore, she was willing to bear his anger at this moment.
Perhaps it began after returning from the Qin family mansion, or maybe due to recent vexing issues. Perhaps it’s from their five years of marriage. No, it should be from the twenty years of suppression since her father died when she was ten years old, making him seem like an enraged cheetah, fierce and sharp.
Lu Weixi was exhausted from her travels today, and had been working hard recently to the point that she barely had the strength in her fingers. Qin Zhiyou’s breathing was not smooth either.
After resting for a while, Qin Zhiyou furrowed his brows, intending to say a few soft words. But the thought of Qin Zhigu was stifling.
As Lu Weixi regained her strength, she saw the deep and quiet gaze of the man in front of her and started in a hoarse voice, “I won the cruise tickets in a lottery. I didn’t know beforehand that he would be there.”
Qin Zhiyou quietly looked at her without saying a word.
Once he calmed down, he realized that Lu Weixi couldn’t have boarded the cruise because of Qin Zhigu. First, the tickets were strictly controlled; secondly, Cai Yiren was also there.
But he was still mad. She went on the cruise secretly without telling him and then showed up behind Qin Zhigu at the banquet. The first point proved she didn’t want to be with him. The second point suggested she still wanted to get closer to Qin Zhigu, even if by chance.
From their brief encounter at the banquet, he had detected that Qin Zhigu still had lingering feelings for her and might launch a pursuit!
