Though Qin Zhiyou didnât turn his head at all, he could hear a ripple of hesitation in Lu Weixiâs voice.
He swallowed, then suddenly asked, âYour period, itâs ended, hasnât it?â
It took a moment for Lu Weixi to catch on. She nodded in agreement, âMmmâ¦â Just as she finished nodding, she seemed to realize something and emphatically shook her head, âThatâs not possible.â
Only then did Qin Zhiyou slowly turn to look at her, a teasing smile on his face, âI didnât say anything, what are you saying isnât possible?â
Knowing that Qin Zhiyou was deliberately baiting her, Lu Weixiâs cheeks flushed slightly, but she remained firm, âAnything, nothing is possible.â
âOh.â Qin Zhiyou nodded, spoke calmly, âI was planning to tell you that Bai Enterprises has recently been trying to negotiate with Hanhai. I initially ordered my subordinates to decline their offers. But since you say itâs not possible, I guess Iâll collaborate with them. I must say, the proposal Bai Enterprises put forth is quite appealing, very few companies could resist.â
This man, unbelievable. Lu Weixi turned her head away, not wanting to look at him.
Thankfully, their car was already driving into the Qin Family mansion. Lu Weixi got out of the car, and her thoughts immediately turned to Qin Zhigu.
She had been chosen, which meant she would be working with Qin Zhigu long-term. Even though Qin Zhigu lived next door currently, there was too much gossip in the Qin Family mansion and Qin Zhiyou was also there. Not only making doing anything challenging, even having a private conversation was difficult. Once they began working together, they would spend much more time in each otherâs company. If she were honest, the prospect was a bit off-putting.
Her reunion with Qin Zhigu hadnât ended on good terms. She acknowledges that a part of him still exists within her, despite five years having passed. The original hatred had faded, but to work together as if nothing happened, she couldnât do that.
Lu Weixi frowned, just as she was about to step forward, Qin Zhiyou stretched out an arm and wrapped it around her slim waist.
At first, Lu Weixi was quite resistant to his touches, partly because she was ticklish and also, because she wasnât accustomed to this sort of contact with Qin Zhiyou. But maybe, it was because of all the lovey-dovey moments theyâd recently been having, as long as his actions werenât over the top, she let them slide. Perhaps it was because of Qin Zhigu, having Qin Zhiyou around helped her originally chaotic feelings stabilize a bit.
Qin Zhiyou noticed her initial hesitance but her gaze quickly cleared. His brow furrowed slightly, then he shook his head nonchalantly, ushering her into the house with his arm still wrapped around her waist.
As soon as they entered, before they could even greet anyone, Kong Jieâs worried voices welcomed them, âYouâve only just come back, why are you going out again? And for a whole week, no less.â
âMom, Iâm going to work. And Iâm not leaving the country, just attending an academic conference domestically. Besides, itâs not just me going, older brother is going too.â
Lu Weixi turned to look at Qin Zhiyou, his expression calm, âWhich is why I told you earlier, I donât have time to go to the hospital to see your mom. I have a flight to catch later today.â
It was a long time since Qin Zhiyou last travelled for work. Heâd been ordered to return to Qin Familyâs mansion daily during this period, so sheâd almost forgotten about his work commitments.
Their arrival made the mother-son duo packing their things for departure in the living room pause.
Not wanting to face Qin Zhigu, Lu Weixi turned to look at Qin Zhiyou, âSo youâre heading out too? Have you finished packing?â
She was just making polite conversation, but to her surprise, Qin Zhiyouâs eyelashes fluttered slightly and he gave a faint smile, âNot yet, will you help
