Qin Zhiyou finally seemed satisfied, his spinning chair gradually came to a halt. Lu Weixi heaved a sigh of relief, immediately looked up in his arms and asked, “how come you…came?”
Qin Zhiyou pretended to be annoyed, “I wasn’t planning on coming at all since I’m so busy. Boss Liao invited me insistently, saying that you were also here and that you hoped I’d come. He was so earnest that I had to put myself out there.”
“I didn’t.” You better stop talking nonsense! Lu Weixi stared wide-eyed straight away. She’d rather Qin Zhiyou steer clear of her work forever, she didn’t even want the title ‘Mrs. Qin’.
It seems that boss Liao must have found out about her real identity and tried to flatter Qin Zhiyou.
“So, you didn’t want me to come?” Qin Zhiyou squinted a little, his voice sounded somewhat dangerous.
She didn’t really want him to, but she’s no fool. Qin Zhiyou was already here, was she supposed to run him off?
“No, it’s just… a lot of Lulu’s staff will be at this event.”
“I know. Your identity won’t be exposed,” Qin Zhiyou thought to himself. He was just asking Xiaochen for some directions. What she thought was her concern, after all, he didn’t say anything.
The pair seemed slightly calmer. It was still early, only about 2:40. The groundbreaking ceremony would start at 3:00, so she still had twenty minutes.
“Just now, I saw Bai Changyou.” After a while, Lu Weixi fiddled with the buttons on his collar while in his arms.
Qin Zhiyou faltered for a moment, then lowered his head to look at her.
“He hasn’t aged much, it seems he’s done well over the years.” Lu Weixi ended with a sarcastic smile.
At the wedding ceremony earlier, the light was dim and Bai Changyou was far away, so she didn’t get a good look. But here, she got a clear look, she also saw Cai Yiren being close to him. She hid in the lounge because she didn’t want to see him outside.
Sometimes, she wondered why life was so unfair. Some people, who do wrong, lived high and mighty, while her mother was on the brink, time after time.
“I also saw that he and Cai Yiren seem to be on good terms. Plus, they seem to be talking to uncle and aunt.”
By saying this, Lu Weixi was indicating to Qin Zhiyou that Bai Changyou was planning to collaborate with families of the second and third branches. Qin Zhiyou knew this and replied indifferently, “Everyone has their own ambitions. I can’t prevent my uncle and aunt from contacting him.”
“Zhiyou.” Lu Weixi’s fingers, clutching his collar, suddenly tightened, pulling him a bit closer to her face.
She didn’t want to plead him, but at times like this, he was her only option.
– In fact, she didn’t just see him with Cai Yiren, she also saw Fang Rushuang.
If Qin Zhiyou still had feelings for Rushuang and tried to help Bai Changyou because of her, she’d really be left alone in the future.
Qin Zhiyou recognized that plea in her eyes, she only looked at him like this when she wanted him to do something for her. And it was only at these times when she would willingly lie in his arms, hug him, kiss him, and speak sweetly to him.
But when he saw her pitiful look, he couldn’t bring himself to say no.
As the two were looking at each other, there was a sudden knock at the door. It was Xiaochen’s voice, “Ms. Lu, it’s almost time.”
Lu Weixi responded, “I know.”
She turned to get up, “Let’s go.”
Qin Zhiyou didn’t move a muscle.
Lu Weixi was a bit puzzled, “Aren’t you coming?”
Qin Zhiyou raised his eyebrow, still unmoving, “And what if I don’t? Could boss Liao possibly drag us there?”
