Chapter 608: Chapter 608 - 610: Right and Wrong (3)

Just as he was watching, the elevator doors began to close, and he quickly pressed the button again to open them.

“Thank you.” Lu Weixi nodded, stepping into the elevator.

Even though it was the weekend, this area was designed for single-patient rooms and far away from the main building and the primary inpatient department, attracting only limited visitation from patients and their relatives. They were the only two in the elevator, but neither spoke, just staring at the elevator doors.

Lu Weixi realized that this elevator only stopped at this floor. She wanted to go down, to press the button for the first floor. But the buttons were on Qin Zhigu’s side. As soon as she reached for it, Qin Zhigu asked, “Which floor?”

Lu Weixi paused slightly, then said, “The first floor.”

Qin Zhigu pressed the button for the first floor, then added, “Go to whichever floor you want, please feel free.”

His tone was exceedingly polite. The type of politeness when trying to maintain distance.

Qin Zhigu looked at her and said, “I’m here to see Aunt Lu.”

Lu Weixi was a little surprised and turned to look at him. Qin Zhigu had a touch of awkward amusement on his face. “Aunt Lu had successful surgery last time. I knew she was recuperating here, so I came to see her.”

Only then did Lu Weixi notice that he was carrying a bunch of things like fruit. She shook her head, “No need.”

Qin Zhigu immediately spoke, “You don’t need to be formal with me. After all, Aunt Lu is my elder, and she has always been good to me in the past. That she is ill, it makes sense for me to come and see her. It doesn’t mean anything else.”

Lu Weixi let out a bitter laugh, “No, what I mean is, my mother, right now…she’s mad at me. As for Zhiyou and you, she probably wouldn’t take kindly to you. So I appreciate your good intentions, but there’s no need to visit her now.”

Qin Zhigu was startled, “What happened to Aunt Lu?”

“Nothing, I just made her angry, that’s all.”

As they were talking, the door of the elevator opened. Lu Weixi exited first, “I’ll leave first.”

Qin Zhigu immediately followed, “Xixi, wait.”

Lu Weixi paused slightly and frowned.

She didn’t much like Qin Zhigu calling her this way. This overly intimate address was inappropriate for their current relationship.

“What is it?”

Qin Zhigu slowed down, glanced at Lu Weixi, then suddenly said determinedly, “I have something to tell you.”

Lu Weixi didn’t pay much attention to him, “If you’re asking about my mother’s health, she’s okay. The radiotherapy treatments have ended and she’s stable now. She will undergo a second round of radiotherapy. Thanks for your concern.”

“No, what I want to ask, is about what happened between us years ago.” Qin Zhigu finally spoke.

He had tossed and turned all night, barely slept, contemplated confronting Qin Zhiyou and asking Lu Weixi, but it wasn’t easy to talk about these matters amidst the crowd at the Qin family home.

How did he eventually find out that Lu Weixi and Qin Zhiyou were not intimate with each other? It was the night Qin Zhiyou and Lu Weixi got their marriage certificate and held their wedding.

He drank to drown his sorrow, and Qin Zhiyou had been filled too many drinks by his brothers. He ran into Qin Zhigu on the way back to his room before the wedding night.

Because they had already gotten their marriage license, held the wedding ceremony, and now Lu Weixi was his wife, Qin Zhiyou was particularly complacent. He ran into Qin Zhigu at the staircase, showing no interest in small talk with him, just kept matching Qin Zhigu’s gaze. Whether he moved left or moved right, Qin Zhiyou did the same, as if trying to obstruct his path.

“What do you want?” Qin Zhigu felt a bit cornered.
