Lu Weixi analyzed the situation, he likely did not know that Fang Rushuang was present too, otherwise, he wouldn’t have this expression.
However, the guilt, surprise, and the vague emotions that she could not quite articulate, made her extremely clear-headed.
Qin Zhiyou occasionally glanced at her later, seeing her composed demeanor and her business-like attitude while chatting with the people around her. He quickly concluded that she must be sober now and felt relieved.
The drinking party didn’t last much longer.
As they stepped out of the private room, Lu Weixi cautiously took a look at the private room next door. Seeing its wide-open door and a waiter cleaning up, she surmised that the people there had already left. She breathed a sigh of relief, recollecting how Qin Zhiyou hadn’t stepped out of their room, he clearly didn’t know Fang Rushuang was just next door.
It wasn’t that she was afraid of running into Fang Rushuang, but she was still pretending that she didn’t know Qin Zhiyou. If the secret was blown, it would be awkward for both. She would feel more at ease in another place or situation.
Unlike her, Qin Zhiyou didn’t think too much. Everyone had drunk, and Mr. Liao had used his usual tactic, calling for a driver from his own company to drive them home.
Everyone was fine, but Qin Zhiyou leaned against the wall and glanced sidelong at her direction using his peach blossom eyes. “The car is waiting in the parking lot.”
Lu Weixi jumped. She immediately felt all eyes around them converging toward her.
She quickly turned her head and forced a laugh, saying, “I can call a taxi myself.”
During the last occasion, Liao would find a driver for her, but now her legitimate husband, Qin Zhiyou, was here, standing by her side. He was not blind to find someone else to help.
Despite the constant rumors about Qin Zhiyou and his wife’s marriage being merely for political alliance and that he was unfaithful, according to her recent interactions with him, Qin Zhiyou treasured his wife a lot. He brought her drafts and helped her keep up appearances. He initiated a contract and rushed to the construction site for her. Even if he was a bit flirtatious, he was very nervous about his wife.
Qin Zhigu didn’t have much to say. His assistant who hadn’t drunk drove them too.
Seeing that Lu Weixi intended to call a taxi, Qin Zhiyou didn’t comment. They all descended the stairs in a large group.
Having drunk alcohol, Qin Zhiyou obviously couldn’t drive. He had been thoughtful enough to call Secretary Wang, and instead of his usual Mercedes, he arranged a black Rolls-Royce to ensure Xiaochen wouldn’t recognize it.
As for her, the car she had called had barely arrived when a BMW stopped in front of her. The driver rolled down the window and asked, “Is the passenger with the phone number ending XXX4 you?”
Lu Weixi nodded and was about to get in, suddenly realizing that something was wrong. She had clearly ordered a taxi, why had a private car arrived?
Just before refusing, the driver lowered his voice, “Young Madam.”
Then he put his phone in front of Lu Weixi, displaying a picture of Qin Zhiyou.
Lu Weixi had her reservations and thought that Qin Zhiyou must have arranged it after drinking, so she quickly messaged Secretary Wang. Sure enough, Secretary Wang replied with a license plate number that matched the car in front of her.
Lu Weixi had to cancel her taxi and said goodbye to her companions, then she got into the car. Qin Zhiyou in the car ahead watched her..
