As such, Qin Zhiyou had always been concerned about Zhao Zihaoâs matters, always unable to brush it off lightly. He felt compelled to dig deep and expose his true identity.
Regrettably, the original plan for Lu Weixiâs mother to go to America for treatment would have completely freed her from his clutches. Now, they can only take it one step at a time.
No matter what, due to the arrival of Bai Changyou and his group, Lu Weixi just had an emotional outburst, venting out all her anger, resentment, and worries.
Looking at Qin Zhiyou now, her anger and hatred towards him had lessened significantly. Moreover, since Qin Zhigu was present, despite her anger, she didnât want to quarrel with Qin Zhiyou in front of others, so she held back.
Since her mother was still unconscious, Lu Weixi couldnât relax. Sheâd already taken leave, so there was no need for her to report to Siyi Company.
When Qin Zhigu left, he saw Qin Zhiyou staying by Lu Weixiâs side, his arm around her shoulder. Though Lu Weixiâs expression was still cold, she didnât reject his touch.
It made sense, Qin Zhiyou was her husband now. Regardless of love or not, he had the right to stay by her side, comforting her, taking care of her, and defending her during her most challenging times.
While he, her ex-boyfriend, was overstepping boundaries even with a single glance.

Lu Weixi had been up for two days and nights. Though sheâd slept a few hours the previous night, it was hardly restful since she was sleeping against Qin Zhiyou.
At this point, no matter how strong her willpower was, she was nearly at her breaking point.
The Qin Zhiyou next to her hadnât slept at all, his eyes rimmed red from exhaustion.
Looking at him, Lu Weixi realized that while he was partly at fault, there was no actual malice on his part. He was just unlucky. Heâd stayed awake for three days, summoned countless renowned doctors, and had defended her against the Bai family. Heâd tried his best.
She had thought that if her mother were actually to die, she wouldnât go on with him. However, things hadnât come to that point as yet.
Qin Zhiyou tried to comfort her: âYou donât have to push yourself so hard. Go and rest.â
Lu Weixi glanced at his red-rimmed eyes, her lips curved slightly: âWhat about you?â
Qin Zhiyou had experience pulling all-nighters to meet deadlines. Yet, having experience didnât mean he wasnât tired now. His mind was somewhat foggy, failing to notice the hint of concern in her voice. He just smiled nonchalantly: âIâm fine.â
Lu Weixi slowly turned away, looking at her mother on the monitor, her face calm. âYou can go to sleep. When my mother wakes up, I donât think youâre the first person she would want to see.â
Qin Zhiyou was speechless for a moment at her words. Thatâs true, Lu Weixiâs mother was in her condition largely due to him. The last thing in her mind before the incident must be the scandalous news with Liu Yiyi and other women.
He lowered his head slightly, thinking for a while. Despite his exhausted mind, his masculine instinct hadnât faded, and he suggested, âItâs okay for me to rest, as long as you rest with me.â
Lu Weixi naturally rebutted, âThatâs out of question, what about my mom?â
Qin Zhiyou pointed at the pitiful secretary Wang, âWhat are they here for?â
Fortunately, Secretary Wang could go home to sleep during the day, as it was now his night shift.
âIf you donât go to sleep, I wonât either. Either we both go to sleep, or we stay awake together, you choose.â
