Chapter 285 - 286 Stay or Leave (2)
The weather was too hot, and Qin Zhiyou’s body was very warm. During her period, he was like a huge furnace for her, but it was hard for two people to cuddle in such hot weather. As Qin Zhiyou watched her gradually pull away from him, she turned her back to him without much thought.
Looking at the light on the ceiling, Qin Zhiyou said in a low voice, “Your father should be coming back soon. He has changed a lot, more than you could imagine.”
Lu Weixi did not respond, and it was unclear whether she had fallen asleep. “Even if you hide from him and don’t want to see him in the future, he will come to you. The Bai family wants to develop in Yan City and can’t avoid Hanhai. Moreover, his relationship with Cai Yiren is very close. When he sees you, he might not say anything pleasant to you.”
“I want to rest.” Lu Weixi turned her head, speaking in a calm tone, indicating that she didn’t want to continue the conversation.
Qin Zhiyou knew she didn’t like to talk about Bai Changyou, so he didn’t say anything more. He lay on his side facing her, but didn’t dare to get too close. She found the heat uncomfortable.
So he gently curled her hair around his finger, murmured to himself with a voice that was barely audible, “I just told him, under no circumstances would I abandon my wife and child.”
As long as you don’t let go, I won’t leave.
After that, no one spoke.
Even though the window was closed, the curtain was not drawn, and the sound of the rain hitting the glass could faintly be heard. After a long time, when the man beside her fell asleep with steady breaths, she turned her head.
Only then did she realize that even in sleep, Qin Zhiyou acted strangely, gripping her hair tightly.
It was her own work stress, and her thoughts of the child they were not fated to have, that caused her fluctuating emotions. Qin Zhiyou – although he had a paramour outside, his current state was already the best she could have imagined when they first got married.
It was a union devoid of emotions, and to be able to harmoniously live and work together, to be able to help each other in critical times was already wonderful. Moreover, in her current state, she was not suited for childbirth. She was too busy with work, and it might become even busier. Having a child might destroy everything she had worked so hard for in her career. Her projects would be taken over by others, her team would dissolve instantly, and her clients would leave. At the company, there wouldn’t even be space for her.
Having thought through this, Lu Weixi gradually drifted off to sleep.
When Lu Weixi fell asleep, Qin Zhiyou opened his eyes. He knew better than to embrace her or even slightly touch her – Lu Weixi was a light sleeper and she was uncomfortable with the heat. If he woke her, the loss outweighed the gain.
His return today had nothing to do with Fang Rushuang, he already had the intention of coming back. It was pointless to stay there, seeing pseudo-friends at the bar every day, and having to encounter Bai Changyou and Qin Zhigu. It’s just that a couple days ago, Lu Weixi asked him to take some photographs – he had plenty of photographs, and even asked Secretary Wang to buy a new single lens reflex camera for him, but he hastily came today and left it behind.
Having returned from the ancient architecture group, he had just arrived in Xincheng the day before and was immediately received by higher-ups. The following two days were full of invitations to accompany them on tours. He had excused himself from dinner last night and headed straight for the airport, but when dawn broke, he had to rush back..
