Chapter 301 - 302: Inside the Car (2)
“Hey, you come back!” Lu Weixi was about to knock on the car window to have him come back with Xiaochen. This was her job, what right did he have to muscle in?
“You should indeed come back.” Qin Zhiyou grabbed her arm in one fluid motion and pulled her back. “Weren’t you enthusiastic just now? So now you want to abandon me for work?”
“I merely…” Lu Weixi’s words trailed off. No matter what she said now, it would be wrong. So she decided not to say anything, simply bowing her head in silence.
“Merely what?” Qin Zhiyou was delighted, even more thrilled than when he had clinched that big contract.
They had been married for many years, yet she never showed him any affection, even when she asked for her monthly living expenses, it was grudgingly done.
As he noticed her facing down, as if she was embarrassed about exposing her feelings, her cheeks flushed all the way to her ears. A faint smile appeared on his lips, his slender fingers brushed her untidy hair back from her forehead tucking in a few long strands behind her ear.
She noticeably shivered, her ears only reddened even more.
Qin Zhiyou took amusement from the corner of his eyes, deciding not to tease her anymore.
He intended to make significant changes to the management in the company once everything had been resolved and the unproductive family members were expelled from the company to just collect dividends every month and keep their noses out of the business. As for Liu Yiyi, he could just bluntly reject her, never allowing her to obstruct Xixi’s view again.
Once those matters were taken care of and Lu Weixi had fully recuperated-
If she does not resist too adamantly, could he look forward to them having a child someday?
Thinking about a child, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest. He glanced down at her in his arms. She was quiet and compliant, completely unlike her previous anger and disgust.
He decided not to push her. He was still young and so was she. He had plenty of time, if not to win her heart, then at least to make her less resistant to himself. Once the timing was right, to naturally expect a child.
The two held each other silently in the car, each with their own thoughts. Unaware of time slipping away until sounds drifted from the apartment building, as if doors were being shut and footsteps traced downstairs, Lu Weixi finally raised her head from Qin Zhiyou’s embrace and gently nudged him, “I have to go. I have work in the afternoon.”
Qin Zhiyou was reluctant to let her go, but he could only nod and utter a low “Hmm”.
As Lu Weixi went next door to fix her clothes and hair, she turned back and asked, “You didn’t show your face around Xiaochen, and you didn’t let Secretary Wang spill the beans, did you?”
That King of Gossip, Xiaocen, who’s always engrossed in entertainment news, would certainly recognize Qin Zhiyou’s face and spill his identity to everyone.
How would she explain it then? Admit to being Bai’s young lady or confess to being Qin Zhiyou’s kept woman?
Qin Zhiyou nodded, “Secretary Wang would definitely keep his lips sealed if he values his job more than a trip to Antarctica.”
“Antarctica?” Lu Weixi was puzzled but didn’t think too much about it, she just nodded, then suddenly remembered something, “How did you happen to come here?”
How did he know she was here? Furthermore, how did he manage to stop at the right spot beneath the apartment building?
