“Big Brother.” Qin Zhigu greeted him politely, daring not to even glance at her.
It’s not that he is two-faced, but that he fears Qin Zhiyou would treat her unfairly. As for yesterday… he made a mistake on the spur of the moment; he vows never to repeat it. He would at least not put her in an embarrassing situation.
Qin Zhiyou didn’t even bother responding to him, but unexpectedly halted when he neared him. Qin Zhigu was a bit puzzled, even Lu Weixi by his side was taken aback. Qin Zhiyou purposely leaned in closer and asked, “What’s the matter?”
What was the matter? Lu Weixi was a bit confused, but saw Qin Zhiyou suddenly reach out his hand, gently pushing aside the hair that was disorderly on her forehead, and then tucking the longer tangled locks behind her ear.
Moreover, she didn’t know if he was doing it deliberately or unintentionally, but while he was fixing her hair, his hand subtly brushed her cheek, giving her a strange sensation.
However, when she looked up, Qin Zhiyou had a calm expression, seemingly oblivious to the situation before him. He treated it nonchalantly and even smiled at her affectionately: “Look at you, not paying attention even when going out.”
She wasn’t sure why, but watching the gentle and smiling Qin Zhiyou made Lu Weixi feel a bit queasy.
Also, the hand that he used to adjust her hair smoothly slid down her arm and directly touched her palm, intertwining their fingers. It took a lot of effort for Lu Weixi to suppress her goosebumps; her smile was almost frozen on her face.
Only then was Qin Zhiyou satisfied and he nodded in Qin Zhigu’s direction with an air of a good big brother: “Why are you back this early? You haven’t been back in such a long time, why not take a stroll. Yan City has developed so rapidly in these years, it is not at all the same as before.”
Although he was talking about the city’s development, Qin Zhigu felt that there was more meaning behind his words. He sneakily gave Lu Weixi a quick glance and then quickly refocused his gaze, making an “urn” sound.
Qin Zhiyou did not bother to exchange more words with him; he grabbed his wife’s hand and pulled her into the house.
They went upstairs, took off their business attire, and changed into more casual clothes. Qin Zhiyou, who practically hadn’t slept at all last night, fell asleep instantly as soon as his head hit the pillow.
Thankfully, the old master Qin decided to wait for everyone to attend before starting the meal. No need to mention anyone else, Yang Mogui was returning in a hurry after travelling hundreds of miles; he could finally rest a little.
They rested for a while until it grew lively downstairs, then Qin Zhiyou got up.
When he moved, Lu Weixi followed him, and when they opened the door, she consciously placed her arm in his elbow.
She then watched as Qin Zhiyou’s mouth curved into a smirk, presenting the usual kind and gentle “good big brother” face to the Qin Zhigu right next to them. He said neutrally, “You’re up too, let’s go, let’s go downstairs for dinner.” The Qin Zhigu before his eyes looked indifferent and didn’t say anything, just watched as they interlocked arms and descended the stairs first.
He waited for a while longer before he also went downstairs.
Downstairs, the lights were brilliant, everyone had already arrived, and they were just waiting for him. If Qin Zhiyou was the late one, undoubtedly he would be berated harshly by the second and the third families for being disrespectful since everyone else, who was older, had arrived before him. But since it was Qin Zhigu, naturally, no one said a word.
Yang Mogui had also arrived; not having time to pay attention to his son and daughter-in-law, he rushed to flatter Mr. Qin as soon as he arrived. The others did the same. Although Kong Jie and Chang Zaigang did not like to talk, they also sat around Mr. Qin with their spouses..
