Chapter 283 - 284 Child (4)
Qin Zhiyou was also burdened with his own worries. He grumbled a “hmm” when she pushed him away and turned to walk towards the bathroom.
Indeed, he had only just returned home and even though he missed her terribly, for the sake of hygiene, taking a shower was a better idea.
Plus, he needed to cool down his senses with some cold water.
Lu Weixi watched Qin Zhiyou heading toward the bathroom. She had just hoped he would not force himself. They had been married for many years, and apart from their harmonious sex life, everything else was completely out of sync. But now that he pulled away so quickly, she felt suspicious, wondering if there were any unusual marks on him.
The last time, hadn’t she found a lipstick stain on Qin Zhiyou’s shirt?
And why did he come home a day early? Had something happened?
As she was lost in her thoughts, Qin Zhiyou emerged from the bathroom. He had a towel wrapped around his waist, water still dripping from his wet hair. Seeing that she had turned to lie on her side, he dabbed the water off his head, tossed the towel into the laundry basket, and prepared for bed.
Lu Weixi remained on her side, her back turned to him as Qin Zhiyou hesitated before slowly moving closer.
As he rested against her back, Lu Weixi turned around. She had intended to tell him to keep still since she wanted to rest. But as she turned, her face brushed against his cheek.
Qin Zhiyou froze, and then froze again, before he didn’t stay put any longer.
Perhaps it was because Lu Weixi was too frustrated, or the pressure had been too much lately, or she loathed his flirtations with other women. Or perhaps… she was thinking of the child they couldn’t have.
Outside, a loud thunder echoed, a streak of lightning like a ferocious silver dragon, illuminated the dimly lit room.
Qin Zhiyou was somewhat taken aback; he had never expected Lu Weixi to…
She refused to yield, even when she was so tired that her eyelids could barely stay open, she kept awake, her eyes red and irritated, but her spirit unusually high.
Qin Zhiyou gently stroked her moist hair, thinking about recent events. What else could agitate her so much, if not the company, her mother, Qin Zhigu, or — Bai Changyou?
He started speaking, his voice hoarse: “I saw your father.”
As he had expected, Lu Weixi struggled to look at him. Although she had seen the news about him, hearing it from Qin Zhiyou would undoubtedly carry a different meaning.
“Prepare yourself. He has changed a lot.”
Bai Changyou hadn’t changed much in appearance, a privileged middle-aged man who exercises regularly, thus not even having a beer belly, seemed more distinguished than ever. Besides, he was especially proficient in business. If he didn’t know him personally, he would never think of this man as one who neglected his family and abandoned his wife and daughter.
Lu Weixi nodded.
Qin Zhiyou hesitated, but decided not to tell her about Fang Rushuang. Especially since he saw her today.
