Chapter 375: Chapter 376: You’re in Love (4)
The day before the banquet arrived quickly.
Truth be told, Qin Zhiyou hadn’t been absent all these days. When he did come home, it was usually late at night. He would either go straight to shower and rest or quickly grab a document and leave again.
Qin Zhiyou would make a show of being affectionate towards her, in view of the onlookers. Take now, for example. Originally, he was just here to pick up something, but he made it seem like a heartrending farewell. Not only did he insist on her giving him a kiss on the cheek, but he also eagerly drove her to work.
Qin Zhiyou raced his car, overtaking others as usual. Once again, he arrived at the company building before Qin Zhigu. Just as Lu Weixi was about to leave the car, Qin Zhiyou grunted from the back seat.
She stopped in her tracks.
Qin Zhiyou sat in the back seat, an indifferent look in his eyes. His slender fingers fiddled with his knee, bit by bit. He responded, “I won’t be home tonight. I’ll be busy till tomorrow afternoon.”
Lu Weixi didn’t mind, understanding that no matter how terrible this man could be, he was always dedicated to his job: “Same here. I’ll be working overtime tomorrow morning.”
The banquet is tomorrow evening, and both boss Liao and Qin Zhigu had been invited, so they’ll definitely go.
She had been working hard recently in order to finish the current deal as quickly as possible and leave Siyi. If the design draft passed review, there would be no need for her to clock in at Siyi every day. Any subsequent revisions could be followed up later, at least she wouldn’t have to meet Qin Zhigu every day.
Qin Zhiyou nodded, then said, “Then I’ll come pick you up from the company tomorrow afternoon.”
Lu Weixi nodded in response.
After that phone call that day, Xue Feifei hadn’t mentioned going to the banquet again. If she didn’t bring it up, it wasn’t proper for Lu Weixi to ask. The situation from before when Siyi was collecting submissions, where boss Liao really only looked at the design and not the creator’s background, was different. The entertainment world was all about money and background, so going wouldn’t mean anything.
Moreover, if she called Lu Weixi asking for help, who could Lu Weixi ask for help from? It could only be Qin Zhiyou. This couple was always at odds, so it wouldn’t be right for Lu Weixi to owe this favor.
When Qin Zhiyou and she got to this point in the conversation, both of them fell silent. Somehow their gazes met, and they quickly looked away.
Lu Weixi looked down: “I’m going to work now.”
Qin Zhiyou just looked at her with a calm expression, as if he hadn’t heard her or had any response to what she said. Right as Lu Weixi turned to leave, he said from behind her, “Wait a moment.”
When Lu Weixi turned back around, Qin Zhiyou looked at her with a face full of disgust: “Your bag isn’t zipped, what if you lose something?”
Lu Weixi looked down, indeed her shoulder bag wasn’t zipped, but there was nothing important inside and she was just about to enter the company anyway. Right as she was about to zip her bag up, Qin Zhiyou reached over and zipped it up for her impatiently.
She didn’t know if he did it on purpose, but his clearly outlined fingers lightly touched her fingertip when he helped her zip up the bag.
Lu Weixi quickly drew her hand back, feeling as if she’d been burnt. Suddenly looking up, she found Qin Zhiyou also looking at her. Seeing her reflection in the pupils of his peach blossom eyes, she nearly ran away in an instant.
She’d never experienced this feeling before. Just as she felt puzzled, Xiaochen tapped her shoulder from behind: “Manager Lu.”
Lu Weixi jumped and turned around.
Xiaochen teased her with a mischievous smile: “Manager Lu, what’s up with you, are you in love?”
This time, Lu Weixi’s bag, fell straight to the ground.
