Chapter 588: Chapter 590: Crossroads (2)

Lu Weixi was a little stunned, then turned her head back.

Qin Zhiyou reached out and took her into his arms. After a while, he sighed wistfully, “Weixi, I…”

Qin Zhiyou wasn’t foolish, through the time they had spent together, he had gradually sensed that Lu Weixi’s attitude towards him had shifted. Although it was mostly him flirting with her, she was gradually responding to some of his advances.

They would banter while shopping together, watch movies together, and even hold hands.

Although it wasn’t quite clear yet how much Lu Weixi loved him, or if their relationship was as sweet as hers and Qin Zhigu’s used to be, it was a fact that Lu Weixi was gradually developing feelings for him.

There’s a saying that if a woman is willing to have a child for a man, it’s a sign of love.

Lu Weixi was no longer a seventeen or eighteen year old girl, at twenty-seven she had already experienced the betrayal of her father and boyfriend. She was no longer the young lady who would impulsively date and marry someone out of anger. She didn’t immediately reject his idea of having a child together, naturally, this showed she had some interest.

But now.

“You don’t have to say it, I know everything. I won’t make a decision so quickly either.” Lu Weixi’s mind was in a mess, but the more confused she was, the more she needed to control her emotions and not let external factors sway her thoughts.

“After all, marriage isn’t just about the two of us, at least we have to tell my grandfather and mother. Moreover, some things, can’t simply be ended once you say ‘let’s break up’.”

“We won’t break up.” Qin Zhiyou nodded affirmatively, then held her hand, “Weixi, you should know how I feel about you…”

“I know.” Lu Weixi nodded calmly. Last time, didn’t he already say that he still cares for her?

“No, you don’t…” Qin Zhiyou was quite anxious. Lu Weixi was too calm, making him feel that she was contemplating how to minimize the damage from the potential divorce, and how she would explain the situation to her family.

From years of experience being with her, he wasn’t worried about Lu Weixi getting upset, but when she became calm, that’s when he was most afraid. Because it signified that she was genuinely considering the feasibility of this option.

“What do you want to say? That you love me very much because we’ve been getting along well recently?” Lu Weixi asked him first, “Or do you want to say that in fact, you might’ve liked me in the past too, and would never have married me otherwise? Didn’t we already discuss this the last time we argued?”

The last time Liu Yiyi came knocking at the door, they had such an argument. It was then that she found out that he did have feelings for her, but he stayed with her also because of her grandfather.

If Qin Zhiyou held no interest in her and was with her only due to familial obligations, she would not have continued to harbor feelings for him. But to deceive her with false words wasn’t necessary anymore.

They were both adults. They wouldn’t be moved by someone simply saying “I love you,” nor would they turn and leave without any hesitation as soon as their mother said “I hope you two get divorced”. What she wanted was a more long-term and solid future. Of course, love was necessary in that future, but it wasn’t everything.

At least, there should be no lies.

She was sure that Qin Zhiyou liked her now. But if he wanted to keep her by lying and saying he used to like her, too, that would not be love, that would be a lie.
