His handsome nose tapped lightly against her refined one, “How can you say nothing’s wrong? Just one look at your eyes reveals something is amiss. You’d better tell me or else….”
“Or else what?” This was a kind of exchange Lu Weixi would never have had with him in the past. She would have just rationally pushed away his roving hands and coolly told him “nothing’s wrong”. But now, as she slightly raised the corners of her eyes, her expression, although still somewhat downcast, was tinged with provocation. It instantly reminded him of the proud and willful Miss Bai from the old days.
Over the past five years, he had watched day by day as Lu Weixi became more reserved. The clearer her rationality, the greater it pointed to their growing distance. He’d rather have her happy and laughing, petty and noisy, angry and cursing him, pounding her little fists on his chest, or crying when she felt badly wronged.
They’d been married for several years, but it was only recently that Lu Weixi has softened a little. She used to infuriate him to the point he didn’t want to go home for days. But when he did return and saw the state she was in, it just drove him to storm off furiously after sleeping miserably for a night, falling into an endless cycle.
He wasn’t a pervert who enjoyed forcing women. But there was a huge difference between being compelled and being cooperative, a difference he had only recently begun to discern.
Qin Zhiyou didn’t want to let her go. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and lay down beside her.
The two of them didn’t need to utter a word, but their silence spoke volumes.
After a long silence, Lu Weixi finally spoke: “Zhiyou.”
Qin Zhiyou turned to look at her. Lu Weixi was staring dispassionately at the ceiling, her eyes as calm as still water: “Bai Changyou might come to us again. If his terms are low enough, it wouldn’t hurt to cooperate once.”
Bai Changyou wanted to establish himself in Yan City, and he couldn’t afford to offend Hanhai. If not Qin Zhiyou, he would turn to his uncles and aunts. Instead of letting them benefit, they might as well keep it for themselves. It was good enough that Qin Zhiyou would stand up for her. She couldn’t push him away by demanding too much and handing over benefits to others.
In the past, when Qin Zhigu spoilt her, she was too willful, which gave Cai Yiren the opportunity to take advantage. Qin Zhiyou was even less indulgent than Qin Zhigu. Having learned from her past mistakes, she would not be unreasonable anymore.
If Lu Weixi could figure it out, then of course Qin Zhiyou could see it more clearly. He didn’t mind making less money; he just worried that she might feel wronged.
Just as he was about to reach out to her, his phone rang. Annoyed, Qin Zhiyou picked up and barked, “What the hell do you want? Don’t you see I’m taking a nap?”
Secretary Wang shivered, “Didn’t Chairman Qin say he wanted to work?” Moreover, he really couldn’t tell whether Qin was napping or not.
Lu Weixi got up, “You should go to work.”
Work was paramount. Qin Zhiyou nodded. Nevertheless, he was really unhappy. He withdrew to his study where Secretary Wang was waiting. His scowl was deep enough to scare an account into asking him the same question over and over until the man was in a cold sweat.
The next day, Lu Weixi went to Siyi Company. Qin Zhigu was holding a blue colored little bear key ring, wanting to return it to her.
Meanwhile, Qin Zhiyou had also arrived at the Siyi Company building.
