Chapter 835 -837: Parting Ways (7)

Perhaps because she hadn’t anticipated the change in her body, she stumbled as she got up. Lu Weixi stretched out her hand in panic, looking for something to steady herself, but as she reached out, it wasn’t the familiar surroundings of home. Her balance was off, and she slightly leaned to one side.

Just when she thought she was going to fall, Qin Zhiyou rushed forward with a quick step, reaching out his arm to steady her body, letting her rest against him. Although they had been incredibly close the night before, she had ultimately drunk too much and remembered nothing. Any previous contact had been one-sided on Qin Zhiyou’s part; she would have considered not hitting him a kindness, much less concerned herself with his condition.

But now, crashing into him, feeling his breath and his robust physique. Especially since she was still wearing his clothes, with the same scent mingling, she was filled with a mix of emotions.

Qin Zhiyou, not daring to continue, steadied her and then set her aside. He turned crisp and clean, not looking at her, but turned to the wardrobe, found himself a shirt, and buttoned it methodically, “About last night, if you want to act as if nothing happened, that’s fine by me. After all, we’re both adults, what happened was consensual, there’s nothing worth lingering over.”

Lu Weixi glanced up at him, with a slight surprise in her eyes.

What did he mean, today wasn’t over yet and Qin Zhiyou was suggesting—what’s done is done, he wasn’t planning to continue?

To think that she had just boasted in front of Qin Zhigu, Cai Yiren, and Bai Changyou that she was going to be with Qin Zhiyou!

So his earlier remark, “This is your sister-in-law,” was just his way of not spoiling the moment, a display of loyalty. He never planned to take responsibility?

But, asking him to “take responsibility” was something she found herself unable to articulate.

“What do you mean?”

Qin Zhiyou turned back, seeing the hint of surprise and panic in her eyes, and knew he had gambled correctly. He couldn’t show too much eagerness for her; the best tactic was to hold back, for the more he wanted her, the more he needed to be composed. Playing the long game was the way to catch a big fish.

“I know, you were just using me to get at Qin Zhigu. Now that you’ve accomplished your goal. Since you don’t like me, why continue to entangle with me? Besides, I indeed owe Rushuang an apology. I owe her an explanation. You heard the phone call last night; we had arranged for her and Uncle Fang to come over, but… I couldn’t resist the temptation. I didn’t even have the chance to explain to her, to Uncle Fang.”

Mentioning Fang Rushuang was one thing, but as soon as Fang Zheng was brought up, the anger in Lu Weixi’s eyes indeed surged.

Her anger wasn’t just towards Qin Zhigu, but also Bai Changyou, the Cai Family’s mother and daughter, and the entire Fang Zheng’s family. She couldn’t back down!

“But…but we’ve already…and just now, in front of so many people, you’ve already acknowledged our relationship, you even defended me.” Lu Weixi herself was surprised to find herself saying such words to Qin Zhiyou, “And, can Rushuang accept someone like you? Someone who has been with another woman after getting engaged, and now it’s public knowledge.”

Qin Zhiyou felt a secret thrill inside, almost having to use all his strength to restrain his emotions. Yet the joy still involuntarily leaked out, “What are you saying? Do you mean we should continue seeing each other? You want to be my girlfriend?”

Lu Weixi hesitated for a long time before nodding seriously, “Yes. If you don’t mind,”
