âHow could you.â Lu Weixi hastily snatched the agreement from his hand, expressing her dissatisfaction, âOnly giving me this much, do you think itâs enough?â
âIndeed, itâs not enough.â Qin Zhiyou nodded seriously, âWhat about giving you another child instead?â
âQinâ¦umâ¦â before Lu Weixi could finish her sentence, Qin Zhiyou quickly seized the agreement from her hand. He didnât dare to tear it though and casually placed it on the bedside table. It wasnât stable and slipped off, scattering paper all over the floor.
At the beginning, he only lightly touched her lips, but it felt as if they were coated with super glue, sticking them together so tightly he couldnât break free. He sighed, turned around and made an internal call: âLet Miss Xiaochen go home, tell her Lu isnât coming back to the office today, she has some things to deal with at home.â
âHey, what the hell.â Lu Weixi was about to object when she was abruptly interrupted by Qin Zhiyou. However, Secretary Wang on the other end of the line was also quite helpless, Xiaochen had clearly become more irritable. It was like waiting for a delayed flight, only to be told after two hours that the flight had been cancelledâ¦
But Qin Zhiyou had no patience for Secretary Wangâs complaints and just hung up. Turning back around, Lu Weixi knew that resisting him was futile. What he wanted, he would get in an instant. What he didnât want, even begging on your knees wouldnât change his mind.
âRelax, it wonât happen again, just today.â Qin Zhiyou, aware of her concerns, emphasized. Then, as if he thought of something, he added, âCan weâ¦not use protection?â
Lu Weixi hesitated. Last time, although Qin Zhiyou had proposed the idea of having a child, he hadnât pushed her when she said she wasnât ready.
But now, he was asking again.
Upon careful consideration, she had been conditioning herself for several months, her menstrual cycle had returned to normal, she wasnât feeling heavy anymore. In theory, those who had taken emergency contraceptive drugs would see their efficacy weaken after three to six months. If they wanted a child now, her body wouldnât be an issue.
But she had some resistance in her heart.
No matter how moved she felt, the ticking time bomb at her motherâs place hadnât been defused. Even though Qin Zhiyou could offer her all sorts of financial securities, if they had a child and her parents were causing divorce chaos, the one who would be hurt the most would be their child.
She had experienced the pain of her parentsâ divorce and didnât want to have a child of her own so easily.
And moreover, the pain of the miscarriage five years ago⦠she didnât want to experience that againâ¦
Seeing her hesitation, Qin Zhiyou sighed. This divide wasnât formed in a day, and naturally couldnât be bridged in such a short time either. But it was no problem, they had a long life ahead and one day he would certainly melt the frost in her heart.
That day, Xiaochen was indeed sent out of Hanhai. Of course, Secretary Wang felt a little embarrassed to have her leave so quickly and gave her countless small gifts as she left. Pillow, mug, USB stick, mobile power bank, even a backpack with the companyâs logo on it in case she found everything too heavy to carry. Not wanting her to get sunburned, he even gave her a sun umbrella.
Itâs said that people who eat and accept things from others tend to be soft-hearted, and Xiaochen, having accepted food and gifts as well as having her transport expenses covered, naturally had nothing to say. She just went to the company and reported that Lu Weixi had affairs to take care of at home and wouldnât come in that day.
