Chapter 403: Chapter 404 Rain Curtain (4)
Yet seeing her upset, he himself felt even more devastated.
Outside, the veil of rain interlaced, he moved his eyes from the woman to the rain. In initial thoughts, the heavy rainstorm could, and should, have begun and ended quickly. However, according to the time, they should be having dinner soon. The trek up and down the mountain, which was originally doable, was now certain to be delayed by the rain.
However, he did not want to speak out or make any noise, and the risk of braving the rain to leave did not appeal to him. Although he saw her every day at work, and at home now, the company environment and the large crowd were not ideal. Having to hide his identity at the company, and be watchful of Qin Zhiyou at home, there were limited opportunities for intimacy. At this moment, they were alone together, confined in this tiny gazebo, surrounded by the fragrance of her breath. This was heaven to him.
Suddenly though, the quiet was disturbed by the ringing of Lu Weixi’s mobile phone.
With clear eyes, she picked up her phone and glanced at the caller ID. It was Qin Zhiyou.
She revealed a subtle smile, raising her eyebrows. So, after Liu Yiyi told him everything, he couldn’t help but come scold her and protect his beloved, huh?
Lu Weixi didn’t answer, simply hanging up the call.
Not even half a minute after she declined the call, Qin Zhiyou called again. This time, she simply turned off her phone, restoring instant tranquility.
Across from her, Qin Zhigu saw the caller ID too, and her turning off her phone. He knew in his heart that she must be bothered about today’s affairs.
Even Lulu’s subordinates were indignant, let alone him.
He had also met Liu Yiyi before, but there was no direct conflict between them. Weixi had always maintained a casual facade, so he didn’t pay much heed to it.
However, this time, he felt genuine sorrow for her, rage on behalf of Lu Weixi, and unparalleled anger towards Qin Zhiyou.
Qin Zhiyou knew that she hated cheating men, yet he didn’t mend his ways. Not only that, it seemed he dared to engage with any kind of woman. Last time during an external meeting, Liu Yiyi dared to knock on his door late at night, which was known to the whole team. This time, unable to handle matters at a charity banquet, the situation even escalated to Siyi Company, causing an uproar amongst three different companies.
Lu Weixi may not love Qin Zhiyou, or care about his activities but that certainly didn’t give him the right to fool around with other women.
Just as Qin Zhigu was about to say something, his own phone rang.
Looking down, he saw that it was from a subordinate and knew it must be work-related. After a moment’s hesitation, he answered. The person on the other end immediately said, “Simpson, there’s a slight issue with the material submitted by Ms. Lu.”
Hearing the report received from his subordinate and the person it concerned right there, Qin Zhigu felt awkward.
Sitting so close, Lu Weixi obviously heard too. She turned her head and looked at him with confusion.
Qin Zhigu complained immediately. “Nonsense, what issue?”
The person on the other end replied, “Didn’t the parameters change? Once the parameters change, many features undergo minor changes.”
Lu Weixi glanced at him and stretched out her hand. Understanding her immediately, Qin Zhigu handed her the phone. With a calm face, Lu Weixi said, “It’s Lu Weixi. If there’s a problem, you can tell me directly.”
The person was startled but still explained the situation to her. The two of them discussed back and forth, and before long the rain had lessened. As Lu Weixi handed the phone back to Qin Zhigu, Qin Zhiyou, who had come to find her, saw the whole scene.
