Chapter 423: Chapter 424: Critical illness (3)

Then she thought, the Chinese language is truly profound. Qin Zhiyou said there would be no other women.

Fang Rushuang is a reticent person, so she doesn’t count as ‘another woman’.

She coldly put down her phone and glanced down, noticing the blanket Qin Zhiyou had left on the couch. A wave of anger washed over Lu Weixi.

Qin Zhiyou had been sleeping on the couch for several days. She had thought if he behaved better in the next few days, she might let him back in. But now, it was unnecessary!

This stingy man, let him sleep by the door!

Lu Weixi picked up the blanket with rage, barged towards the bedroom door, and pulled it open—

To her surprise, Qin Zhiyou was standing right outside the door. They stared at each other, giving each other quite a fright.

After a moment.

Lu Weixi spoke up, “Why…why are you back?” Weren’t you with Fang Rushuang?

Only when she spoke did she realize that Qin Zhiyou seemed to have had some drinks earlier, his face slightly red. And, there was a strong smell of alcohol and disinfectant lingering on him.

As for Qin Zhiyou, he noticed the small quilt she was clutching. His handsome brow furrowed instantly seeing his quilt, “My quilt!”

Even though Lu Weixi had knocked into him, she felt no guilt. She instantly threw his quilt onto the floor, huffed in disdain and turned back into the room.

Qin Zhiyou followed her in with the small quilt. Seeing Lu Weixi sitting with her back turned towards him, he scratched his head and decided to explain first: “I had a tendering meeting tonight. Quite a few companies were there, after the meeting, there was a banquet, and many people joined. Your father, Cai Yiren, even Fang Rushuang were present.”

With him bringing it up, Lu Weixi was slightly taken aback and turned to look at him.

Well, Fang Rushuang was not like Liu Yiyi or Xiang Yirou. She wasn’t the type to willingly be a mistress. Moreover, given her family situation, Qin Zhiyou couldn’t just up and date her. If they got together, it’d be with the intention of divorcing and re-marrying.

But then again, Fang Rushuang was his ex-fiancee, and their relationship used to be very good. She might not fear Liu Yiyi, but Fang Rushuang scared her.

If Qin Zhiyou and Fang Rushuang got back together, it’d signify the end of her reign as Mrs. Qin.

“Why did you come back so late, then?” Just for a banquet, was it necessary to stay until eleven o’clock?

Qin Zhiyou answered, “Well, a man named Li suddenly fainted in front of me. I had to take him to the hospital.”

No wonder she smelled disinfectant on Qin Zhiyou.

However, Qin Zhiyou seemed bothered by something else. He looked over at his small quilt and complained, “You dirtied my quilt.”

How did it get dirty? There’s a maid cleaning at the door every day…

Qin Zhiyou raised his gaze, “I want to come up and rest.”

Before Lu Weixi had a chance to object, he tossed the mini quilt into the laundry basket and complained, “The quilt is way too small, it barely covers my body. The couch is too short; my feet can’t even stretch out really.”

Serves him right! Liu Yiyi had the audacity to stir up trouble at his company!

But then she remembered today’s viral video. She wanted to ask him about it but feared triggering his sympathy for Liu Yiyi. So she held her tongue.

A cheeky grin appeared on Qin Zhiyou’s face, “Well, I’ll take that as a yes.”

After sleeping on the couch for so many days, he could finally hold his sweet wife tonight!

Qin Zhiyou hurried off to bathe, brush his teeth, and change into fresh clothes. He was quite eager.

But before they even get to bed, Lu Weixi’s phone rang. It was Zhao Zihuan: “Emergency, Aunt Lu is critically ill!”

Mother Lu was the vital link maintaining their marriage—once she was gone, Lu Weixi would be completely unbound.
