Chapter 178 - 179: Gift (3)
When the preset alarm woke Lu Weixi up, she was alone again in the large bed.
Her head throbbed with a painful ache, and her lips were dry. The hangover effect made her feel incredibly uncomfortable. She struggled for a while before finally managing to prop herself up on her arms and sit up. After looking dully at the bedside for a moment, she was about to get up when she just put on her shoes, she suddenly stopped.
Did she remember seeing Qin Zhiyou last night?
When she looked to the side, his side of the bed was untouched and the blankets and pillows did not look used. A glance around showed nothing amiss, except the slightly open window and a clean trash can.
Was it just her imagination playing tricks on her?
She got out of bed and sluggishly washed up. As she was brushing her teeth in front of the mirror, she noticed something unusual about her reflection.
The last memory she had was of drinking with Xue Feifei. How did she get back? Then, flashing snippets in her mind showed Qin Zhiyou was there!
Furthermore, was it just because she drank too much or did someone keep calling her nickname “Xixi” last night?
Frightened, she still had the toothbrush in her mouth when she bolted out of the room. Just as she turned around the corner, she saw Qin Zhiyou sitting in the living room sofa looking up at her with contempt.
Realizing her unattractive state with messy hair, a toothbrush in her mouth, and an unwashed face, she hurried back into her room.
She finished brushing her teeth and freshening up at record speed, then casually walked out. Aunty Hao had already prepared breakfast, and Qin Zhiyou had moved to the dining room.
Lu Weixi just sat down when Aunty Hao served her a bowl of soup. She recognized its flavour immediately, hangover soup. She thanked her and started sipping silently. Across from her, Qin Zhiyou was slowly enjoying his breakfast, not even sparing a glance at her.
She started having her breakfast only after finishing the soup, her head lowered. Actually, she had many questions to ask. How did he get back? And how did he get her back from the bar? Also, she really needed a boat ticket although she hated the idea of Liu Yiyi and him together.
While she was eating, Qin Zhiyou put down his chopsticks and stared at her coldly, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Lu Weixi was startled and almost choked on her porridge. She quickly covered her mouth with a napkin. Thankfully, she didn’t cause a mess.
She looked up to see Qin Zhiyou looking even more disgusted, “So dirty.”
It was as if she had vomited before.
After finally finishing breakfast, Qin Zhiyou gracefully wiped his mouth and headed to the garage. Lu Weixi rinsed her mouth and just as she was about to leave the house, she remembered something.
Qin Zhiyou had brought her back from the bar last night, which means they didn’t take her Chang’an. That’s why she had to rely on his car to get to work. Seeing the Mercedes-Benz pulled out from the garage, she sprinted over and opened the car door, “Give me a ride to work.”
Upon seeing her open the door, Qin Zhiyou, sitting in the backseat, frowned and coldly retorted, “It’s not convenient.”
Work was important. She really didn’t want to bother Qin Zhiyou. However, perhaps it was due to the remains of the alcohol, she swallowed her pride, pushed herself in and rebutted, “It’s convenient. It’s on the way from here to the office and then to Hanhai..”
