BXBX NOVEL Chapter 58 - 58 Are You Serious? (2)
She felt somewhat nervous, and under his intense gaze, she just wished to escape, blurting out without thinking, “Of course I mean it. Drinking is only a minor issue, but constantly going out, where it’s chaotic, could cause problems or even some diseases, which wouldn’t benefit you, right?”
After she finished her sentence, Qin Zhiyou’s fingers, which originally pinched her chin, gradually relaxed. His hand supporting her back also slowly dropped.
Upon his relaxation, Lu Weixi quickly escaped from his containment, immediately sitting on the step stool beside her.
Qin Zhiyou lowered his head, silent for quite a while. After a long, long time, she heard Qin Zhiyou’s soft chuckle. The laughter began faintly but gradually grew louder and stronger.
Just as she was about to say something, he suddenly lifted his head. The previously stern expression on his face instantaneously vanished. His eyebrows were raised, the corner of his eyes lifted and his lips curved into a great smile. He looked at her, eyes filled with joy, “I’m truly grateful to have such a ‘attentive’ wife! Being so concerned about my health…”
As he finished this sentence, he abruptly stood up. His towering figure leaned forward, one arm propped against the back of the sofa, while the other gripped the edge of the sofa, heading straight towards her. She involuntarily tilted back, fell onto the sofa, and all his overpowering pressure was instantly transferred to her.
Qin Zhiyou could be domineering, but very rarely like now. He wasn’t angry, explosive, or drunkenly powerful, but his gaze is so deep, so quiet, so sharp and ruthless, like a ferocious beast staring at its struggling prey.
He suddenly leaned down, his face just inches from hers. The proximity was too close; a mere nod from her head could touch his face. She subconsciously closed her eyes and turned her face away, avoiding his gaze, holding her breath.
In the instant she closed her eyes and evaded him, the formerly aggressive Qin Zhiyou slowly halted his actions. Especially when he saw a hint of unmistakable resistance in her eyes besides evasion.
Qin Zhiyou’s fingers gradually clenched into a fist.
After quite a long time, Lu Weixi felt the breath teasing her face gradually moved away. Following that, the tall figure looming above her also seemed to slowly withdraw. Opening her eyes slightly, she saw Qin Zhiyou standing by the edge of the sofa, cold and solemn like a mountain yet gentle as breeze, his tone much calmer, “Lu Weixi, it seems you have forgotten what you agreed to when we got married. My affairs do not concern you, nor is it your place to discuss them. You’ve known what kind of person I am from the start. Since you chose to marry me, you have no right to complain.”
Lu Weixi vaguely sensed something was off, and immediately responded, “I…” “Moreover,” Qin Zhiyou interrupted her words, revealing a faint smile, “I have no other virtues apart from seeing things through. ‘Divorce’ is not an option in my dictionary. If you want to get rid of me, it can only happen if I go before you. Otherwise, let’s just annoy each other for the rest of our lives.”
He delivered the last sentence lightly, but to Lu Weixi’s ears, it felt as heavy as a thousand pounds..
