After a long silence…
Lu Weixi was furious. Couldn’t he… be a normal husband, respect her, cherish her, not have women on the side, and avoid causing others trouble?
Wasn’t this room big enough? Even this damn bathroom sofa, or the swivel chair he just bought, would be better than this.
But Qin Zhiyou just smirked, and had the audacity to say, “But you’re happy… aren’t you?”
They had been married for five years, he knew her all too well. She was clearly very happy, happier than ever before.
“Qin Zhiyou!” Lu Weixi’s eyebrows shot up in anger, her beautiful eyes wide open.
“Eh, wife, did you call me?” Qin Zhiyou responded cheerfully, looking very smug.
Lu Weixi glared at him for a while, but the more she did, the happier he seemed. He was completely oblivious and even leaned over to give her a peck.
Fuming, she turned around, no longer wanting to deal with him.
Now, Qin Zhiyou finally understood why ancient people used to say, “A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a lover.”
A wife is usually a well-bred lady, with strict principles, thus she acts too prudishly in private. A concubine, however, is beautiful and doesn’t require respect, she can let loose. As for a lover…
It’s also an old saying that, “Make up at the foot of the bed after fighting at the head”. Though it looks like Lu Weixi is getting angrier, it’s certainly better than how she’s been ignoring him completely these past few days.
Lu Weixi really had no idea what to do with him now, just like then.
Back then, Qin Zhiyou was devilishly arrogant, but she was still Qin Zhigu’s girlfriend. Although she was young and inexperienced, valued saving face, she wouldn’t dare to fight back when he intimidated her.
Now, however, she and Qin Zhiyou were legally married. He ignored her admonitions, demanding benefits no matter what. He liked to play tricks, and no amounts of dissuasion would stop him. She couldn’t divorce him, is unable to keep him away. And the more she objects, the happier he gets. She wasn’t sure what was going on in his head.
Qin Zhiyou looked at the ceiling, pausing for a long time before saying, “American experts are coming over this time, and I heard they have a new experimental cancer treatment. It has been tested on animals and the results were very good, even to the point of completely eradicating the cancer cells. Now they are looking for human test subjects. I was thinking… should we let mom register?”
“Really?” Suddenly, Lu Weixi turned her head, her eyes burning brightly.
She had followed this team of American experts most of the time they were here. Their suggestion was that they’ve done the best they could with the current treatment. She has even tried new drugs not yet approved in their country, all of which have been effective.
However, the current treatment can only ensure that cancer does not spread and metastasize, curing it is a wild dream. Moreover, there’s no telling when her body could build resistance to the medication. When that happens — it would be untreatable.
Upon finding out about this, Lu Weixi too was disheartened, feeling as if they were just counting down the days, leaving it all up to fate.
However, if there is a new method, not necessarily a cure, but something that could help her live a few more years, it would already be a great victory.
Qin Zhiyou nodded: “Yes, but you know, mom’s health is bad, she needs to recuperate well. Also, this is an experiment, all sorts of complications could arise. If that happens, it’d be… worse than her current conservative treatment.”
Lu Weixi nodded, understanding that a decision like this couldn’t be made alone. It required discussing it with her mother, hearing her options.
