At that form of address, a chill ran through Lu Weixi.
It was summertime. How could it feel so cold?
Back in the day, when she was Qin Zhiguâs girlfriend, even Qin Zhiyou had never used such a mushy nickname for her. Yet, the boss didnât mind, and even giggled, saying, âI heard that Xiaolu and CEO Qin areâ¦â
Qin Zhiyou nodded in acknowledgment, smiling at Lu Weixi, âYes, weâre relatives. Very close relatives. Isnât that right, Sister Wei Hui?â
Lu Weixi moved a bit closer and hissed through gritted teeth, âThatâs enough, Qin Zhiyou.â
âOh, what did you say? Are you calling me âBrother Zhiyouâ? Eh, at this age, calling me that, how embarrassing.â Qin Zhiyou shamelessly reached out, intending to ruffle her hair like an older brother would with a younger sister, but instead, his hand ended up on her shoulder, his fingertips quietly caressing her collarbone.
Lu Weixi shivered involuntarily. However, with so many people around, she couldnât precisely kill him.
Not wanting to draw attention, she had no choice but to say, âShall we stand here, or shall we go in and discuss in detail. Qinâ¦Zhiyou?â
Awakening from his reverie, the boss eagerly welcomed, âYes, yes, yes, please come in.â
Qin Zhiyou watched her smile, made no comment, and sauntered in with his hands in his pockets.
Lu Weixi was a few steps behind and had no choice but to follow him in. The boss welcomed him into the reception room and personally poured tea for him. He served Puâer tea, which he usually drank, regretting that he didnât have anything better to offer and that Qin Zhiyou might not be used to it: âMy apologies for the poor reception.â
Qin Zhiyou didnât even glance at it. It was Xiaochen, who was quick to bring over the interior decoration contract: âCEO Qin, take a look.â
Qin Zhiyouâs gaze didnât even linger on it, and he directly said, âBook the highest standard. Where is the pen? I will sign.â
Xiaochen passed the pen over, and he signed the contract first before passing it to Lu Weixi.
Under tremendous pressure, Lu Weixi had no choice but to sign her name in the party B section. Each party retained a copy of the contract. Qin Zhiyou held one and stared at their signatures side by side, musing, âItâs no wonder sheâs my wife; even her signature looks good.â
âThat should do it.â Qin Zhiyou got up to leave. He had merely wanted to whisk Lu Weixi away, and with that accomplished, he naturally didnât need to waste time with chit-chat.
âOh, yes, my sister has always been low-key. Please donât take our familial relationship out of context. She doesnât like it. If I ever find outâ¦â Qin Zhiyouâs eyes narrowed. His face, which had been all smiles, darkened significantly.
The boss immediately straightened up, âRest assured, CEO Qin! No one in our company would dare to speak out of turn. Whoever does, I will fire them!â
Assured, Qin Zhiyou nodded and took a few steps forward before stopping abruptly. He turned back to see Lu Weixi still standing there.
Since they were past caring about what others might say, he wasnât afraid of gossip. He turned around, took Lu Weixiâs hand in front of everyone, âSister Wei Hui. Oh, no, Ms. Lu. What are you still standing for? Letâs go design my office.â
Furious, Lu Weixi yanked her hand away and stomped out.
Once in his sports car, she fumed, âIf you have any other tricks, spit them out!â
âOf course.â Qin Zhiyou leaned in close, âIâm wearing leopard print inside too, would you like a look?â
