Chapter 202 - 203: The Ring (3)

Her wedding to Qin Zhiyou had caused quite a stir at that time. Originally she was Qin Zhigu’s girlfriend, but she became Qin Zhiyou’s just two months later. She got married immediately after graduating from college.

A wedding naturally involves the exchange of rings. It’s just not known whether this was a wedding ring or not.

Qin Zhiyou touched his nose, lowered his head, and pulled out a jewelry box from his pocket. When he opened it, it was a ring. Unlike her wedding ring, this ring was simple, with a possible inscription inside. It appears to be a male-female design, just like the one on his finger.

However, this ring was quite common looking and not expensive. It was probably bought on a whim while on the cruise.

Noticing Lu Weixi’s slightly surprised gaze, Qin Zhiyou grabbed her hand abruptly, somewhat roughly and urgently pushing the ring onto her delicate finger, and commanded, “Don’t take it off. There are many people watching.”

Lu Weixi nodded. Since they needed to show affection in front of everyone, especially in front of Qin Zhigu, as a married couple, a wedding ring was naturally essential. She nodded. Luckily, this ring didn’t have any diamonds or precious stones inset. It looked good, but it would be troublesome to wear on a daily basis.

Once he helped her put on the ring, Qin Zhiyou looked at the ring on her hand, then raised his head and looked at her. Lu Weixi also raised her head at that moment, and their eyes met in mid-air.

He looked as though he had been burnt, quickly averting his gaze. Then, with a grim expression that said “I don’t want to do this, but I have no choice,” he walked two steps ahead. After thinking for a while, he retreated, grabbed her hand, and pulled her out.

Lu Weixi staggered a bit as she followed him out, quickly stepping onto the deck and heading towards the restaurant.

The cruise ship wasn’t big and had only three restaurants – one Chinese, one Western, and one Asian. Lu Weixi wasn’t interested in a Western breakfast, so Qin Zhiyou took her to the Chinese restaurant.

It was nine in the morning, breakfast time, and many people were coming and going. However, Lu Weixi did not receive the attention she had expected. There was no awkward yet polite small talk with old friends after the unexpected encounter, as she had anticipated.

On second thought, it made sense. After marrying Qin Zhiyou five years ago, she had retreated from public life. A lot of these people were merely acquaintances, and it wouldn’t be surprising if they had forgotten about her after five years.

However, as Qin Zhiyou was standing at the entrance of the restaurant holding Lu Weixi’s hand, a leader from the Southern Gang approached them and warmly greeted, “Mr. Qin.”

Qin Zhiyou also smiled and shook hands with him, and introduced him to Lu Weixi: “This is Mr. Tian, the chairman of Nantian Industries.”

The middle-aged man, somewhat balding with a young beauty by his side, laughingly said, “Mr. Qin is young and successful, and his female companions are always lovely. He is constantly in the company of beautiful women.”

Qin Zhiyou’s smile froze on his face before he could explain, Lu Weixi, with her lashes fluttering and expression calm, said: “Hello, I’m Qin Zhiyou’s wife.”

The man’s face flooded with awkwardness and he laughed uncomfortably: “Mr. Qin is indeed fortunate.”

Their conversation soon drew the attention of those in the restaurant. At a window table for three, a man dropped his glass of water on the table, water splashing everywhere. The woman in white next to him, disregarding her wet clothes, asked anxiously: “Zhisu, are you okay?”

Following his gaze, naturally, they saw Qin Zhiyou and Lu Weixi standing at the entrance..
