Chapter 379: Chapter 380: What is Love (4)
Her own palm was hurting, he was talking, so this wasn’t a dream?
Her voice still sounded groggy, “Qin Zhiyou?”
“What, you were hoping it was someone else?” The man in front of her was frowning, visibly annoyed. He had gone out of his way to come home and rest and yet this was how she was treating him?
The lights in the room were turned off, and even if she hadn’t checked the time, it was undoubtedly late. He had already showered, carrying a faint scent of shower gel. Even in the darkness, she couldn’t see his facial expression clearly, yet he was right beside her, real and tangible. Regardless of who or what it was for, regardless of the time, he was truly by her side.
Qin Zhiyou felt the woman in front of him calming down again. Over their years of marriage, except when she was being a little too emotional, she would have moments of being petulant and coy, but the rest of the time, she was peacefully by his side. While it might not entirely fulfill his hopes, he didn’t feel the need to nitpick. Since she was awake, he simply stretched out his claws, cuddled her, brought her into his arms and muttered, “Go to sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow.”
Lu Weixi was pulled into his embrace, her head against his chin, and his robust body lay in front of her. Both of them used the same shower gel and shampoo; their breaths carried the same familiar scent.
—If only he could learn to be faithful from this point onward.
She was not one to dwell on the past, she didn’t want to bring up old issues. She simply hoped that from now on, there would be no other woman beside him.
Lu Weixi adjusted a bit, nuzzled her head into his chest and stretched out her arm, placing it around his waist.
Perhaps it was because he was by her side, but despite initial tosses and turns, she closed her eyes, breathed in his scent, and soon fell into a peaceful sleep.
She slept soundly, but Qin Zhiyou, who had planned to rest, was a little restless due to her adjustments and embracing him.
Hearing her steady breathing, he let out a sigh. Looking at the time, it was already two in the morning. Considering that she would have to work overtime the next day, he quickly sent a WeChat message to Boss Liao.
Indeed, the next day, Lu Weixi, who was struggling to get up, received a request from Boss Liao, not needing her to work overtime.
No one wanted to work overtime, even a workaholic like her. She sent the message to everyone, and the group was overjoyed. The man behind her hummed a couple of times, seemingly annoyed by her disturbance. He took her phone and placed it far away, then hooked his arm around her and said, “Go to sleep.”
Lu Weixi tried to resist, but she had stayed up too late last night and was still groggy. Held securely in his powerful arms, she soon fell asleep once more.
She slept till noon, finally making up for the loss of sleep. After eating lunch, she looked radiant, without any sign of sleep deprivation. Qin Zhiyou nodded with satisfaction, “It seems that a good sleep does make one look better.”
A thought flashed in Lu Weixi’s mind. What did he mean by that? Was it possible that he was the one who asked Boss Liao to cancel her overtime? But then again, that was highly unlikely, she must be overthinking.
After lunch, the two cleaned up and prepared to go out for a banquet.
However, she met several unexpected characters at the banquet that night, all of them associated with Qin Zhiyou.
