The essence of humanity is to be attracted to handsome faces. For instance, when Lu Weixi watched “Half a Lifetime” as a child, she was traumatized by the repulsively ugly brother-in-law who took advantage of his sister. However, if a handsome actor had played the part, it might have turned into today’s popular narrative, ‘domineering CEO falls for me’, thus completely skewing her values.
She doesn’t deny it, her feelings for Qin Zhiyou are not love, and she detests his flirtatious and evil character. But one reason she doesn’t thoroughly repel him is his face. And besides his looks, there’s also his body, and his skills, cough, of course, those are not things to be discussed with others.
Anyway, she’s not a young girl anymore, and she’s past the age of getting infatuated. But when Qin Zhiyou looks at her, she does have a moment of fascination.
She’s a bit uncomfortable with this feeling. It’s not love that she’s feeling, it’s an entirely superficial emotion, resembling infatuation, not consistent with her always cool and composed demeanor.
She immediately lets go of the hand she was holding, quickly turns her head, as if seeking the trace of dolphins, but no dolphins can be seen, while a hint of perspiration seems to seep from her palm.
Qin Zhiyou pursed his lips, he thought that Lu Weixi was uncomfortable holding his hand, so she let go immediately after realizing it. He moved a little closer to her, intending to hold her hand again, but Lu Weixi avoided him hastily.
Qin Zhiyou frowned, then frowned again. After being avoided twice, even if he was shameless, it wouldn’t be right to reach out and grab her hand again, so he opted to stand by her side.
The sea wind was strong, the sun was rising, and the ship was plowing through the waves, with only seagulls whirling around. Qin Zhiyou and Lu Weixi stood there for a long while, until Lu Weixi was finally able to suppress the recent awkwardness and slight confusion, she looked ahead and said, “Zhiyou, thank you for what happened at the restaurant.”.
Qin Zhiyou was stunned and looked up at her. Lu Weixi was still looking ahead, her face was calm.
Her gratitude was certainly not about him showing off their relationship in front of Qin Zhisu. Although Qin Zhiyou could feel that regardless of whether she still loved him deep down, she was trying hard to sever ties with Qin Zhisu.
Her thanks were about Cai Yiren.
Lu Weixi’s feelings for Qin Zhisu were of love turned to hatred. As for Cai Yiren, it was more than just hatred for betrayal, it also included the matter related to her mother. If it were not for Bai Changyou and Cai’s mother, her mother might not have been seriously ill. She and Xue Feifei were alike, if she herself were bullied, she might endure it due to various reasons. But if her family or friends were the victims, she would be sure to take revenge a thousand-fold!
However, for Qin Zhiyou, Cai Yiren was just a small, insignificant character, like an ant. He didn’t care about her: “Oh, you’re referring to Cai Yiren, she asked for it.”
“Actually, Zhiyou, there’s one more thing…” This matter was not something she just thought of. Actually, as soon as she heard that they were returning, she had already pondered over it countless times in her mind. Cai Yiren getting close to boss Liao this time was just the beginning. The main act would be when Bai Changyou returned.
Lu Weixi’s face was serious, and there was a hint of resentment in her eyes, “I know my request is unreasonable, it’s excessive, and from a business perspective, it’s inappropriate. But I still hope that, you don’t collaborate with Bai Changyou..”
