Although Qin Zhiyou didn’t show any reaction on the surface and continued to dry his hair, his pupils dilated sharply for an instant. Fortunately, he was standing against the light, so even if he was surprised, Lu Weixi couldn’t see it.

As for Lu Weixi, she seemed quite calm. In the past, whenever they were intimate, it was usually Qin Zhiyou who took the precautions, and she seldom took the pill. But lately, due to several sudden incidents, she had taken emergency contraceptives several times. Especially that one time when she took two at once, it was too harmful to her body. She vowed not to do such a foolish thing again. It would be better to let him know upfront to prevent any trouble later on.

After finishing her medicine and drink, Lu Weixi calmly turned around and said in a soothing tone, “I’m not feeling well today. Can we…not tonight?”

Qin Zhiyou, who was standing not far away, caught the subtle hint of rejection hidden deep her eyes. The hand holding the towel paused abruptly. He slowly lowered his head, dropped the towel, turned around with his back to her, and started to put on his sleepwear leisurely.

In a place where Lu Weixi couldn’t see, the fingers buttoning up his sleepwear were slightly stiff.

After fastening the buttons one by one, he turned back, looked down at her from a high angle, his chin slightly raised, the corner of his mouth curled up in an arrogant smirk. His eyes clearly conveyed four words: You wish!

Then he turned around, without deigning to utter another word, didn’t spare her another glance, opened the door, and stride out. Lu Weixi could faintly hear his calm voice, “Aunt Hao, black coffee.”

Then came the sound of the study door being slammed shut.

Only after all sounds faded away did Lu Weixi slowly get up. She had been married to Qin Zhiyou for five years. Although they had no particular emotions for each other, they understood each other in a way. He wasn’t exactly a gentleman, but he rarely forced women. If she really didn’t want to, he wouldn’t insist.

There were footsteps outside the door, probably Aunt Hao delivering coffee. Lu Weixi looked at the clothes he had taken off. Usually, the laundry from the laundry basket was washed the next day. But as she looked at the clothes in the laundry basket, particularly the glaring red at the collar of his shirt, she picked up the laundry basket with two fingers in distaste, placed it outside the room, and called in Aunt Hao, “Please take these clothes to be washed now.”

When the clothes were taken away, and the room no longer held the smell of perfume, it felt as if even her breath was a bit lighter.

Eleven o’clock.

After arranging tomorrow’s work, Lu Weixi closed her laptop, stretched, and yawned. Even though she had taken on two significant contracts this month, she couldn’t slack off on her work. Her dream was to become a senior interior designer and open her own studio in the future. But to become a senior interior designer, she needed a doctoral degree or designing some famous projects as soon as possible. Once she had a reputation, won’t there be more people seeking her out?

After preparing the needed items for tomorrow’s work, she lazily brushed her teeth, took care of her skin, turned off the light, and went to bed. Without Qin Zhiyou fighting her for the quilt, her sleep quality improved significantly, and she quickly fell into a dream.

When Qin Zhiyou quietly opened the door, Lu Weixi had already fallen asleep. He stood by the bed, looking at her for a long time, his eyes flickering, throat bobbing. In the end, he couldn’t hold back and slowly leaned forward, aiming for her soft lips.
