Chapter 418: 419 No One Else (2)
Qin Zhiyou had originally thought that Lu Weixi would pull off her usual trick again, by locking the doors from the inside. He was already prepared to spend the night in the study room.
Unexpectedly, when he pushed the door, it was not locked. He tiptoed in, and it was pitch black inside, clearly, Lu Weixi had already gone to bed.
He knew, although he was completely unaware of what happened this time, everything wrong that Liu Yiyi had done would be pinned onto him. After all, Liu Yiyi was his female companion, and she had been coddled by him.
Even though he’d truly never laid his hands on her, in the end, it was still his fault.
Lu Weixi was wronged, and he felt even more heartache for her.
Perhaps Lu Weixi had temporarily been pacified now, but he could feel that the relationship which had just started to mend had once again tightened. It was highly possible that for a long period of time, she would not grow close to him again.
He deserved it, he brought it onto himself. After putting away his uncle and aunt, he didn’t have to keep the charade of being a playboy. From now on, he would protect her wholeheartedly, hoping that she could change her mind.
At this moment, he didn’t dare to disturb Lu Weixi, he tiptoed up to her.
However.
“Gurgle—” a sound, was his stomach grumbling. The noise was not usually so loud, but in the extremely quiet room, it was particularly conspicuous.
Before Qin Zhiyou could even rub his stomach, he felt the woman next to him suddenly slap him. A “crack” sound landed squarely on his face, followed by a swift kick.
Qin Zhiyou didn’t have time to react to what happened before he rolled off the bed.
The woman in front of him instantly turned on the bedside lamp, and yawned.
When she turned around, she saw a befuddled Qin Zhiyou propping himself up on the edge of the bed, with a cold sneer on her face.
“Who let you come back?”
Qin Zhiyou had been kicked, not knowing if she had done it on purpose or unintentionally. At this moment, he could only reply, “I finished kneeling.”
“I mean, you didn’t have to kneel, there’s a wide world out there, you don’t have to limit yourself.”
She didn’t believe a single word of what Qin Zhiyou had previously said to her.
She was twenty-seven now, not seven, not seventeen. She was no longer at the age to believe in love, to believe in promises. Furthermore, there was no love between Qin Zhiyou and her, maybe there was a bit of liking, but it was not much.
Believing that a playboy would change his ways was less credible than believing she would win five million from buying a lottery ticket.
Liu Yiyi might not appear again, but it was not guaranteed that there wouldn’t be other women. She had grown tired of days where she had unwelcome visitors at her door. She was even more weary of people gossiping about her.
“No, it won’t happen again,” Qin Zhiyou shook his head, “I’ve already promised my grandfather. Otherwise, he would take away my rights.”
He thought for a moment, he knew Lu Weixi wouldn’t easily believe his words, he had no credibility. However, Lu Weixi was a very rational person, she did not believe in emotions but in terms. If there were no constraints, of course, Qin Zhiyou could find countless female companions, but if Hanhai was thrown into the equation, all women would become insignificant.
Indeed, as soon as he said these words, Lu Weixi’s suspicion slightly decreased.
Qin Zhiyou seized the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot, “Grandfather also said, my father’s death was due to the women outside…”
Lu Weixi knew, there were two things that Qin Zhiyou cherished the most, one was Hanhai, the other was his father. He would not joke about his father, so it must be true..
