Chapter 376: Chapter 377: What is Love (1)
“What are you talking about?” Lu Weixi’s immediate reaction wasn’t to pick up her bag, but to hastily refute.
Xiaochen initially just said it as a joke. But seeing how big of a reaction Lu Weixi had, she couldn’t resist teasing her a bit more: “Could it be Qin Zhiyou?” “Absolutely not!” This time, Lu Weixi quickly denied it with great solemnity. Perhaps she was denouncing too vehemently, her voice was slightly raised.
Xiaochen was taken aback, okay, if she says no, then it’s no. Why so serious about it? She didn’t notice Lu Weixi arriving in a Benz earlier. Xiaochen mulled over it before she finally said, “Anyways, this Qin Zhiyou really isn’t a good choice. He can’t leave his wife, so he just fools around outdoors. Lu, you better not get any foolish thoughts of becoming a mistress.”
“No way.” Lu Weixi quickly shook her head, then picked up her bag and hurried into the company.
While waiting for the elevator, Xiaochen caught up and kept glancing at Lu Weixi. Just at this moment, Qin Zhigu also came by. He saw her and wanted to greet her but didn’t know how to start.
Eventually, Xiaochen called out from the side: “Mr. Qin.” Qin Zhigu nodded at her. Seeing no reaction from Lu Weixi, who was looking down at her bag, he went ahead into the elevator.
Once he got into the elevator, he realized Lu Weixi was still outside, seemingly lost in her thoughts. He was standing too far to hear Xiaochen’s conversation with Weixi and thought she wanted to maintain some distance with him. Furthermore, the fact that Qin Zhiyou even showed up in Siyi Company was clearly a warning to him to stay away from his wife.
Before he had a chance to completely process it, the elevator door closed and it started to ascend. They missed this elevator, but thankfully another one was present. Xiaochen pulled Lu Weixi in and they stepped in. By the time they got off the elevator and walked into the office, Lu Weixi had fully recovered herself.
There was a meeting immediately after they reached the office. Thankfully, she was well prepared. However, when she was pulling out the files from her bag, her finger brushed against the chilly metallic feel of the zipper. Suddenly, she was reminded of how Qin Zhiyou was reluctantly helping her zip it up this morning.
In truth, she noticed herself caring more and more about Qin Zhiyou. When he’s at home, she finds him annoying. But when he’s not, she worries he’s overworking or misbehaving. Moreover, his reaction towards the aftermath measures hasn’t been as resistant as before. This indicates he isn’t as adamant about the baby situation.
But she had been in love before and she knew this wasn’t it. Her ideal man is still someone gentle and devoted. With Qin Zhigu, their relationship was like water flowing in a canal, naturally formed over time. With him, she could freely express her feelings without restraint, and experienced care, concern, and growth together.
Qin Zhiyou does not fit this description. She still felt some disgust towards him. Isn’t love about trust? Having common topics, a common language? At the very least, shouldn’t he be loyal? Qin Zhiyou lacks all these qualities.
Of course, she has had her moments of affection. After all, Qin Zhiyou is very handsome and they belong to the same team. As long as he treats her a bit better, it is hard for her not to feel something for him.
She tried to think hard. The only area where they somehow are harmonious is probably their marital relations. But how does that constitute love?
