Chapter 198 - 199: Heart-to-Heart between Husband and Wife (3)
He too was aware, Lu Weixi wouldn’t choose Qin Zhigu that soon. The day she broke up with Qin Zhigu in the morning, she was with him by the evening. Such a decisive move clearly meant she would never forgive him in this lifetime.
But not forgiving didn’t mean she didn’t like him in her heart. Five years later today, she still had a place for Qin Zhigu in her heart. Even if it was already deeply scarred, and the time had changed the things and people, the place was still there.
Lu Weixi could clearly sense the man’s anger in front of her. After calming down, she found it amusing that she herself was in a trance at the banquet.
She and Qin Zhigu had turned into something of the past, regardless of whether Cai Yiren was with him or not, they had no chance. Besides, she was already married.
She started slowly, her voice calm: “I won’t do this again in the future.”
There would be a future? Qin Zhiyou’s anger exploded. During the struggle, both of them fell down. They even pulled the sheets due to imbalance, bringing down some other things with them. Their clothes were in a mess, everything was chaotic.

Qin Zhiyou was flawed, had countless women. He was stingy, nitpicking over every penny given to her. And he was mean, even occasionally domineering.
But he never lied to her, or used emotions to bind her thoughts or restrict her actions. She didn’t need to try to please him, or play the give and take game with him. There was no fear of losing him over a word, or worrying about doing something wrong.
He was always straightforward. If he wanted something, he asked for it. If he wanted to leave, he left. He never dragged things out.
They were not lovers, but were husband and wife, partners. Plus, after five years of married life, even the cold had become a sort of habit.
Also… she had seen it clearly at the banquet hall. He did not bring a female companion today, neither did Liu Yiyi board the ship because she refused to come.
Even if he was angry, he left her some dignity by not letting any other woman replace her.
“Zhiyou, it was really an accident today, I didn’t know in advance that he would come too.” After calming down a bit, she explained..
