Chapter 67 - 67:1 Come to Find You (3)
Room 302 at the East Mountain Hot Spring Hotel.
Lu Weixi didn’t take a shower in the hot spring area’s shower center, but returned to the hotel room instead. She had a shower, and surprisingly, instead of relaxing, she used the hotel’s computer to discuss work related stuff with her subordinates. It was not until the computer turned off that she sat in front of the dressing table, opened her makeup bag, took out her skincare products, and started applying them with great care. Xue Feifei found this quite intriguing. As she sat beside her, she asked in a puzzled tone, “Are you…okay?”
Lu Weixi, having finished applying her skincare products, turned around calmly and said, “What could be wrong with me?”
Saying she wasn’t angry would absolutely be a lie. Besides the disgust brought on by Qin Zhizha’s sudden intervention, she was more upset with Qin Zhiyou.
Even though her feelings for Qin Zhiyou weren’t particularly deep, they were still a married couple and had been living together for five years. He was a bit of a playboy, occasionally demanding, and often stingy, but if she really asked him for something, he would never refuse.
Their marriage, though seemingly a trade of interests, was initially orchestrated by Lu Weixi. Had she not interfered, Qin Zhiyou might not have parted ways with his fiancee.
Of course, his fiancee’s family was not completely innocent either; they had played a part in inducing her parents’ divorce.
Whether out of revenge, money, or some other reason, they ended up getting married. Qin Zhiyou was innocent, but he was dragged into it by her. Despite being so, he sill gave her money, so she could somewhat accept his harsh treatment.
But there was a limit to her acceptance.
“What I was thinking about is how to get along with him in the future. What frightens me most is what if he wants to have a child with me.” Only when she calmed down did she realize her idea of separation was not practical. She still needed a minimum livelihood of 50,000 a month. As long as Qin Zhiyou was paying, he would definitely not stop sleeping with her given his personality.
But that wasn’t the point. The point was, what if Qin Zhiyou one day proposed to have a child with her?
Qin Zhiyou had remained on high alert the last few years, killing all possibilities in the cradle. But she knew that her mother-in-law, Mrs. Yang, was really looking forward to them having a child as soon as possible. It was not just Mrs. Yang, Qin Zhiyou’s grandfather also often asked her about her pregnancy status when they visited his mansion.
She had initially thought that if her mother passed away one day, she would refuse to carry this empty title and would file for divorce. But Qin Zhiyou categorically stated that he would never divorce. Given his nature, unless she cheated on him, divorce was out of the question. However, she would definitely not take such an action. What would be the difference between her and her father if she did?
“What do you mean ‘how to get along’? Of course, you should go back and question him! What if you’re at a disadvantage right now?” Xue Feifei unhesitatingly supported her. “You can’t retreat limitlessly. You ought to have a bottom line. If he crosses it, what will you do? Just endure it?”
“No way.” Lu Weixi shook her head resolutely. “I may not do anything else, but at least I won’t greet him with a smile anymore.”
She was still a proud Miss Bai at heart. She had already pushed her tolerance to its limit. She initially thought she could at least maintain a harmonious relationship with him on the surface, but she seemingly failed in doing even that. She wouldn’t even entertain the thought of having a child.
As the two women continued to talk, the doorbell suddenly rang..
