Chapter 147: Chapter 148: To Return or Not to Return (4)
Translator: 549690339
As Lu Weixi was about to resist, the man beside her grumbled disdainfully in his throat: “To stop you from moving around so much, it’s keeping me awake. Okay, go to sleep.”
Even though he was holding her and it was slightly uncomfortable for her, perhaps his body was warm, and though he was wrapping her, he never completely immobilized her, as she could still adjust her position. Maybe because it was already late and her usual sleeping time.
Anyway, it was a bit awkward, but leaning on his arm and her back against his chest, she quickly fell asleep.
The next day.
When Lu Weixi woke up, the bed next to her was once again empty. She was used to Qin Zhiyou’s morning disappearances and didn’t think too much of it. She washed up, packed her bag, and walked downstairs, “Aunt Hao, I don’t want breakfast…”
Before she could even finish the word “want”, she saw Qin Zhiyou and Aunt Hao turning their heads towards her.
Qin Zhiyou glanced at her once and then turned away, uninterested, and sipped his soup. Aunt Hao said: “Young Madam, the lady of the house instructed last night that you must drink this soup made for you this morning. She said you’re too thin and weak, and need to boost your body.”
There’s no way Mrs. Yang was awake at this time. But just because she can’t get up doesn’t mean she can’t give orders. As Qin Zhiyou was there, Lu Weixi didn’t dare to disregard the order, so both sat in the dining room in silence, having breakfast.
After finishing his meal first, Qin Zhiyou elegantly wiped his mouth with a napkin, drank tea to cleanse his mouth, and then said, “I will be very busy for the next few days. If I don’t ask Secretary Wang to call back in the evening, it means I won’t be home, so don’t cook my dinner.”
Though these words were directed to Aunt Hao, Lu Weixi, who was drinking soup, knew that they were actually meant for her. She figured he was upset because she had called him last night.
She didn’t say anything and just kept drinking her soup.
Even after Qin Zhiyou finished eating, he remained sitting in the dining room, one hand resting on the dining table, the other idly scrolling through his phone. It was not until Lu Weixi finished eating, cleansed her mouth and got up, that the car outside started roaring – it was Secretary Wang.
Only then did Qin Zhiyou slowly stand up, his face calm. As Lu Weixi walked to his side, he nudged her with his body, causing her to stagger a few steps aside. Qin Zhiyou turned around, held her by the elbow, and said blandly, “You can’t even walk properly. Can’t help but think you’re doing this on purpose for me to hold you.”
Lu Weixi didn’t bother to argue with him, she walked to the garage and started the car. Meanwhile, Qin Zhiyou also got into a car, deliberately blocking the driveway, and only left after turning the car around roughly.
In the car, Qin Zhiyou was flipping through his phone in one hand and rested the other on his knee, his fingers moving up and down. Secretary Wang had been reporting to him for a while now, and he hadn’t said a single word. After a long while, Qin Zhiyou suddenly asked, “Does the Young Madam contact you often?”
It took Secretary Wang quite a while to recall the phone call last night from Lu Weixi. No wonder he had arrived early this morning, but Qin Zhiyou had asked him not to enter the community too early and to wait for his orders before driving to the front door. So, he had wanted to leave with the Young Madam.
Desperate to survive, he responded: “Almost never.”
After answering, he sneakily watched Qin Zhiyou in the rear-view mirror. The more he answered, the deeper Qin Zhiyou furrowed his brow, seeming even more unhappy. Secretary Wang immediately shrank into himself, making himself as unnoticeable as a speck of dust to avoid getting involved.
However, on this end, Lu Weixi also ran into trouble at work.
