地震时怎样保护自己

Chapter 206 - 207: Showing Off Love (3)

He was gentle, incapable of doing what Qin Zhiyou did – walking away when he was upset.

On the boat this time, Cai Yiren clung to him, eager for not only his affection but also his introduction to Old Man Liao. Though displeased, he didn’t refuse her resolutely.

But Qin Zhiyou’s small jab reminded him that Lu Weixi also studied interior design. He wondered if she was interested in this as well. Suddenly, he looked up at her anxiously.

“Yiren and I met…” Before the word ‘by chance’ was even out of his mouth, Lu Weixi came into full view, so close he didn’t see her coming.

Just a while ago, she was at the far end of the restaurant and he did not get a good look at her.

But now, she was so close that her face virtually stopped his heart.

Qin Zhigu closed his eyes.

He had been anticipating this. They have been a married couple for five years, living together as husband and wife. Indeed, on the day they broke up five years ago, Lu Weixi had spent the night with Qin Zhiyou. In the following months before he left China, she moved to the Qin family mansion and lived there with Qin Zhiyou. He was an adult and understood what it meant to live together.

The woman he did not dare touch during their three-year courtship immediately slept with another man after they broke up. And that man was his elder brother, also living under the same roof, seeing each other every day.

Finally, on their wedding day, he decided to study abroad and break up with Cai Yiren.

Across him, Cai Yiren smiled and nodded, “Yes, I need to thank Zhigu for introducing me.”

Adding salt to his wound, Old Man Liao added, “Indeed, Miss Cai said she and Zhigu know each other from before. She studied interior design and is interested in contributing designs to the new building.”

As he finished, Lu Weixi did not show any change in expression. She only paused slightly as she scooped her porridge.

But it was nothing. She had anticipated this. Cai Yiren was close to him, it was quite natural for him to provide her with opportunities. She wouldn’t care about this project any longer, whether it was given to anyone else.

Though that was her thought, her actual reaction wasn’t so calm. At least, as she ate her porridge, she did not notice the bit of soup clinging to her lip.

Across her, Cai Yiren noticed but decided not to mention it. Qin Zhigu also noticed it, his first instinct was to reach out and wipe the residue off her face. As he started to lift his hand, he realized his mistake and slowly withdrew.

Eventually, it was Qin Zhiyou who noticed. He quickly pointed to the corresponding spot on his face. Lu Weixi was surprised. As she was about to touch her lip, Qin Zhiyou’s hand was already there—his slender finger gently ran over her soft lips, and then continued to her cheek. His fingertip carefully applied force to wipe the tiny drop of porridge off her face.

The pressure was as soft as a kiss. Lu Weixi’s face turned red instantly..
