Lu Weixi came home early today. After spending the entire day on location, she was filthy. As soon as she got home, she took a pleasant bath, freshened up, and was about to go downstairs for dinner when she heard the sound of a car outside.
As soon as Lu Weixi got to the top of the stairs, she saw Qin Zhiyou coming in from outside. His eyes were indifferent as usual, reeking of alcohol. He didn’t even glance her way, as if she were just air.
It was Mr. Wang, the secretary behind him, who greeted her and reported to Qin Zhiyou, “Young Master, I will arrange as per your instructions. I will come over again tomorrow morning.”
Aunt Hao was preparing the dinner, and when she saw him return, she went to greet him immediately, “Young Master, the dinner is ready, should we start?”
Qin Zhiyou didn’t answer. Lu Weixi went to the dining room and casually said, “Are you hungry? Aunt Hao, please set a pair of chopsticks for him.”
Qin Zhiyou hesitated slightly, handed his coat to Aunt Hao, and with a stride, beat Lu Weixi to the dining room and sat in his usual spot. He was silent after sitting down, propping up one leg for comfort, flipping out his phone, and tapping away quickly on the screen.
She understood that drinking too much alcohol can make a person foggy, especially around those they don’t fancy. Under such circumstances, communication becomes minimal.
As soon as the food was served, Lu Weixi started eating earnestly. She had been out all day and hadn’t had a proper lunch. After her bath, she was so hungry that her belly felt like touching her back. The food was plentiful, and the two ate in silence until Aunt Hao brought a bowl of soup over, “Young Master, I noticed you’ve had quite a bit to drink. Here is some soup to sober you up. Have some.”
Qin Zhiyou didn’t even lift his head, continuing to eat slowly. Lu Weixi looked over and saw the worried expression on Aunt Hao’s face. Seeing her kindness disregarded, she pushed the soup towards him, “Have some. It’ll help to sober you up.”
Qin Zhiyou furrowed his brows, clearly not pleased. Seeing this, Lu Weixi didn’t push him further. She finished her meal, rinsed her mouth, wiped the corner of her mouth gracefully and said, “I’ll go upstairs first.”
A little while later when Aunt Hao came out of the kitchen to clean up, she noticed that the soup bowl was empty.
Not long after Lu Weixi got in her room, Qin Zhiyou followed suit. His expression remained unchanged, not saying a word to her as he walked in and removed his suit and headed for the bathroom. Soon, the sound of running water could be heard.
Lu Weixi cleaned up his discarded clothes. Holding them in her hands, even though the scent wasn’t strong, she still detected the smell of women’s perfume mixed with alcohol. Looking down at his shirt, she noticed a little red stain, apparent lipstick, which she assumed Liu Yiyi had carelessly smudged on him.
Lu Weixi watched coldly for a while. No wonder Qin Zhiyou was so cold today, he had already relaxed outside. She snorted lightly and threw his clothes into the laundry basket.
She didn’t care about the chaos Qin Zhiyou stirred up outside, but he couldn’t bring these women into their home. Even if she was devoid of love and indifferent, she couldn’t accept his blatant disregard for their relationship.
Especially considering the fact that they may have to share a bed later.
To put it bluntly, she valued her life; she was afraid of getting ill.
When Qin Zhiyou emerged from the bathroom, he noticed her taking medication with a glass of water. To her side was the bottle of contraceptive pills..
