After a brief moment of surprise, Lu Weixi quickly calmed down. Thankfully, she had already contemplated the idea of living separately, which didn’t seem very mature to her. But she was indeed tired of humoring Qin Zhiyou with a smiling face.

Qin Zhiyou had his principles, not wanting her encroaching too far into his territory. Was she supposed to just wait around at home all the time?

Qin Zhiyou watched as she turned away, went to the nearby bar, picked up a bottle of water, opened it, thoroughly cleaned a glass, and poured the water into it. Throughout the entire process, she didn’t glance at him once, nor did she talk to him.

Only after she finished her water did she turn her head, looking unperturbed, Sorry, I’m not in the mood today.”

Her expression was still cold, but her body had already unconsciously started to retreat slightly — not out of fear, but simply because she didn’t wish to interact with him.

He swallowed, halting at a distance of thirty centimeters from Lu Weixi. His feet didn’t move forward, but his upper body slowly leaned in, his voice becoming husky, resonating like the dim lights, “But what can I do, I just…” Lu Weixi gave him a quick glance. Qin Zhiyou was dressed neatly and didn’t have any hint of perfuming. Considering how quickly he had found her room and from what she knew about him, he was unlikely to have been engaging with those women at the party.

However, even if that were the case, he might have simply lost interest because of Qin Zhizha’s appearance. What had he been doing before?

Lu Weixi slightly lowered her head, intentionally avoiding him, maintained her composed tone, “If you’re asking me why I’m here, it’s because I came out with Xue Feifei. I wasn’t aware of this event earlier, nor have I been playing games with any other men. There’s no need to inspect.”

It was somewhat ironic. He could play around, but he couldn’t tolerate the slightest hint of her potentially having an affair. Firstly, it was because of her higher moral standards; secondly, she didn’t care much about that aspect of life; having no interest was also fine. The time was limited; she preferred to devote her energy to work, take care of her mother, and maintain her own well-being, no energy left to flirt with young boys.

However, even after she spoke, Qin Zhiyou still didn’t respond. His expression remained indifferent, standing in her way, preventing her from moving forward. Lu Weixi frowned, she thought she had already made herself clear. What more did he want from her? Surely he didn’t want her to conduct an inspection?

She turned her head slightly, rubbing her slightly swollen temples. She didn’t want to bother with him anymore. It was rare for her to have a work-free weekend, she didn’t want to deal with the man right in front of her, hindering her from enjoying it, “I’m sorry, I really am tired today and not in the mood. Besides, Xue Feifei is also here, we are sharing a room, and I need to look after her.”

She felt she had been forgiving enough, even suggesting, “If you really want to, there are plenty of other women out there…”

Lu Weixi’s brain was slightly oxygen-deficient. She finally managed to adjust her mood and tried to put herself together, “You bastard, Qi Zhiyou…” There was no need to continue cursing. The more she cursed, the more energy he seemed to have. The more agitated she became, the more enthusiastic he got. No matter what, he was always able to catch her off guard and disrupt her thoughts.

The worst thing was, this bastard even evaluated her boundaries, “This one is not very useful, switch to another one next time.”

Lu Weixi didn’t want to talk, nor did she want to deal with him. She turned her back on him, not wanting to look at him.

“Have you had enough fun, Qin Zhiyou? If you’re done, please leave. I’m tired, I want to sleep. I don’t have time to entertain your whims.”

Qin Zhiyou’s eyes remained indifferent. Seeing her obvious disgust didn’t deter him, he lowered his lashes, slowly uttering a few words, “I want to…”

Don’t care what you want, I certainly don’t. Lu Weixi really didn’t want to entangle with him any longer. They were married, he was providing for her, she really didn’t have a choice. But being obedient like she used to be was out of the question.

She previously wanted him to stop messing around outside. Now, all she could think of was, go out and be with whoever you want, just don’t come back and bother me.

Just as she was about to get up, Qin Zhiyou’s arm languidly reached for the bedside table, flipping out a different item. His eyes glanced over, “Didn’t I just say, I want to…”

However, in the end, he cupped her slightly flushed face with both hands, trying to kiss her with a sense of reverence. But just as he was about to do so, Lu Weixi frowned, shutting her eyes and turning her head away. She didn’t want to face him, his kiss landed on her cheek instead.

After a long pause.

Qin Zhiyou, witnessing her clearly disgusted expression, swallowed. His eyes buried in obscurity and without much delay, he got up.

When Lu Weixi opened her eyes, she saw Qin Zhiyou standing beside the bed, eyebrows raised, lips slightly hooked into a sly grin. His head lowered in a bit of reflection, “I really like you — as a person. You’re the most – harmonious woman I’ve encountered all these years.”

Lu Weixi’s temples pulsed with a rhythm, she really wanted to smash this shameless jerk’s face with an ashtray!

Qin Zhiyou, nonchalant, dressed in a neat suit, even his shirt button matched perfectly in place with the seam.

Contrasting with her dishevelled hair, she appeared to be quite a mess.

He stood there, looking dignified and noble but what he said was utterly shameless, “I’ll give careful thought to what you said last night. You’re right. Accumulating women in quantity serves no purpose; it’s the quality that matters. In the days to come, I’ll work harder, right my beloved wife?”

His last few words were said playfully, which nearly drove Lu Weixi mad. Especially when he moved closer before leaving. Unwilling to let him get his way, she attempted to slap him.

Qin Zhiyou caught her hand mid-air, she sent another hand swinging towards him which he promptly caught as well. Holding both her hands, he moved closer with satisfaction and pecked lightly on her cheek.

As he prepared to leave, he coughed lightly, adjusted his clothes, stretched leisurely, and walked to the door with graceful long strides. Before he left, he turned to her cheerily, “Goodnight, sweet dreams.”

Lu Weixi hurled a pillow after him. Holding a blanket, she was quivering in frustration. How could she not have seen who he truly was? Even if it was about annoying Qin Zhigu, she shouldn’t have provoked this big bad wolf that greedily devoured everything!

Qin Zhiyou’s smile faded the instant he stepped outside the door.

Xue Feifei had been squatting outside in the corner. Despite being kicked, Yu Sixmg had composed himself with the support of the wall, and He Weiyou had accompanied him. It was clear to them without any explanation what had transpired. They saw Qin Zhiyou walking out cheerfully after quite a long time. Xue Feifei’s eyes reddened instantly. She glared fiercely at Qin Zhiyou, longing to comfort her friend inside the room, but realized that the friend needed space to nurse her wounds in solitude.

Ignoring her, Qin Zhiyou walked briskly away. Yu Sixing asked as he rose to his feet with some pain, “Hey, Qin Zhiyou, where are you going?”

Qin Zhiyou headed in the direction of the hotel lobby without responding. Yu Sixing, with a limp, and Hui Weiyou hurried to catch up with him. Not long after, the sound of a car engine revved up outside the door, implying that they had driven away.

Only after another half-hour passed did Xue Feifei knock cautiously on the door. When Lu Weixi opened the door, she seemed tranquil, her complexion normal; she showed neither outrage nor utter desolation. The room was fine as well, the bed was tidy, the pillows and blankets were properly arranged. It seemed that Lu Weixi had taken another bath, her entire being radiated with the scent of shower gel.

Seeing her seemingly composed, Xue Feifei hesitated, “You…”

‘Tm fine,” Lu Weixi shook her head. She wasn’t the girl she used to be, who would wail and make a fuss about little things. As for the man she herself chose, she would even stick to him on her knees if she had to.

She was hopeful that Qin Zhiyou had promised there wouldn’t be unwanted scenarios in the future.

Of course, although she hoped for the best, she still felt sickened. No matter what Qin Zhiyou did, sorry, she couldn’t be as obedient and gentle towards him like she used to be, even with money offered.

“Don’t worry, I’m really fine,” Lu Weixi saw Xue Feifei’s obvious worry and managed a smile, “at any rate, I am Mrs. Qin, legally and rightfully married. I can still speak for myself in front of grandpa Qin. Plus, with me around, I will be like a thorn to Qin Zhigu, he has to treat me well on the surface.”

“…All right.” Although Xue Feifei didn’t quite believe it, she didn’t say anything more and they both tidied up and went to sleep.

Despite having her mind full of thoughts, Lu Weixi slept almost immediately upon touching the bed. Both of them slept until daylight, only waking up when the hotel’s breakfast time was almost over and lazily got up. They had breakfast, took a leisurely walk, and drove back.

On the way, Xue Feifei received a phone call. Lu Weixi turned the car around taking her directly to the place she needed to be. As she got out of the car, her assistant and agent swiftly came over. It was some important audition she had to attend. Lu Weixi accompanied her until she was in the makeup room before going downstairs.

There weren’t many people she valued, every single one was precious.

When she got home, Aunt Hao came to greet her. As soon as she got out of the car, she noticed the garage. Good, Qin Zhiyou’s car wasn’t there.

Aunt Hao asked her, “Madam, would you like anything to eat?”

She didn’t feel like eating since it was neither early nor late, and since she had a substantial breakfast at the hotel.

Knowing that Qin Zhiyou wasn’t home, Lu Weixi felt like ordering something, “Please make some millet soup for me tonight, served with some green vegetables, preserved eggs, and sauteed mushrooms will do. I want the millet soup to be thick, with lots of rice oil. I’m going to rest now, you can call me when dinner is ready.”

Aunt Hao agreed and went on to prepare. Lu Weixi walked upstairs lightly, she didn’t feel tired at all, but once she lay on the bed, she fell asleep immediately, sleeping deeply and soundly.

When Aunt Hao woke her up, it was already dusk. She lazily got up, went to the bathroom to rinse her mouth and wash her face. As she was about to reach the stairs, she almost tripped and tumbled down.

Why is Qin Zhiyou back again?
