What she had anticipated did not occur. Qin Zhiyou’s fingers slid across her cheek, but they did not linger for a moment. They instead dropped onto the bedside table behind her.

Lu Weixi opened her eyes, only to see Qin Zhiyou picking up a cell phone charging cable from the bedside table. He then stood up leisurely, holding the charging cable in his hand and straightening out his somewhat disheveled pajamas. He wiped his lips lightly with the back of his hand, a tease in his gaze. His expression was aloof and arrogant, as if their kiss was an “accident” he was not eager to encounter. As if to say, if she hadn’t screamed out in surprise earlier, he wouldn’t have even entertained the idea of kissing her.

Qin Zhiyou picked up the charging cable and glanced at it for a mere second before turning and leaving the bedroom directly. He even thoughtfully helped her close the door behind him. His footsteps gradually faded into the distance, followed by the sound of an office door opening and closing, then everything quieted down, no more sounds to be heard.

Only after Qin Zhiyou actually left did Lu Weixi let out a long breath. Her first reaction was to rush to the door to lock it. What if he came over again in the middle of the night?

However, as she twisted the lock, she remembered that he owned the house, let alone his obstinate temperament. If she locked the door now and he tried to barge in later, she would be the one to suffer. So, she unhappily retracted the lock. Considering Qin Zhiyou’s dismissive look earlier, she assumed he wouldn’t really want anything with her.

In such confusion, it took her a while to finally doze off. When she woke up the next morning, Qin Zhiyou had indeed not come back.

She knew it, there’s no way Qin Zhiyou would come to her room in the middle of the night. Especially after he clearly indicated his disdain.

Perhaps it was because she hadn’t slept well, she felt lethargic in the morning. As soon as she left her room, she saw Qin Zhiyou also emerging from his study. The two happened to meet at the stairs.

“Good morning,” Lu Weixi greeted him. Qin Zhiyou barely lifted his eyelids, glanced at her, nodded in acknowledgment, and went downstairs directly.

However, Lu Weixi distinctly noticed that Qin Zhiyou seemed to have dark circles under his eyes. Though his hair was neatly combed, a few stubborn strands rebelliously stood out from the rest, creating an untidy yet somewhat unruly look.

Did he not sleep well either?

As Lu Weixi went downstairs, she overheard him talking on the phone, seemingly dealing with some troublesome matters. No wonder he hadn’t slept well. While Qin Zhiyou enjoyed fun, he took his work seriously. Under his leadership, Hanhai Group had turned a profit in five years and expanded its business offerings. For this reason, she admired him to some extent.

The two quietly had breakfast, and soon after, Secretary Wang also arrived. Lu Weixi didn’t say anything, she simply took her bag and left.

She went to the garage to take her car, and Qin Zhiyou came out right after her. When he reached the front of the garage, he paused and turned, “Where is my car?”

Secretary Wang replied, “You forgot? You told me to send it for maintenance last night.”

“So what am I supposed to drive today?”

Secretary Wang shrugged, “If you don’t mind…” He had driven his Volkswagen to work today.

Just then, Lu Weixi’s small car drove out of the garage..
