With that in mind, the recent refusal of her daughter-in-law didn’t bother her anymore, and she said with a grin: “Then Wei Hui, you must take care of your health, and try to bring a child with you for next year’s activities.”
Sitting uncomfortably as if on a bed of nails, Lu Weixi didn’t relax until lunchtime when Qin Zhiyou joined them, his expression was still serene as if what had just been said had not affected him at all. After eating quietly he didn’t sit for long before he got up: “Grandpa, I’ve got some work to attend to I m going upstairs. Call me if you need anything.”
Lu Weixi, wanting to discuss the matter of having a child with him, also quickly stood up: “Grandpa, mom, I’m going to accompany him.”
Before she could even leave, Yang Mogul laughed: “Look at these two kids so in sync with each other. Dad, it looks like you will soon have a great-grandchild to hold.”
Lu Weixi’s scalp prickled at the thought, and she quickly followed him upstairs without saying a word.
Upon reaching the study, just as Qin Zhiyou was about to shut the door Lu weixi went ahead and held the door at the last moment. Qin Zhiyou looked at her impassively, “You need something?”
Lu Weixi shook her head then nodded, and seeing this Qin Zhiyou looked slightly concerned, “If it’s nothing urgent, please leave. I need to work.”
After saying these words, he shut the door directly.
Lu Weixi, who was shut out, wanted to continue to knock, but her hand dropped halfway.
What should she say? She and Qin Zhiyou have been married for five years she is now twenty-seven, and Qin Zhiyou is approaching thirty. In theory, it’s the perfect time to have a child, even if it’s not something the Qin family places importance on, it is still expected.
She knew that her marriage with Qin Zhiyou was built without love. Even at the beginning, she was using his status and wealth more than anything else Although he often chased after women, he had always given her the money and status she was due each month. Nor had he ever fathered a child that threatened her, or showered a mistress with favor at her expense.
She should be content with what she has.
However, having a child is her bottom line. Regardless of how Qin Zhiyou treats her, it’s a matter between the two of them. If a child gets involved she just can’t accept it.
As Lu Weixi pondered outside the door, Qin Zhiyou inside was also struggling. Despite having closed the door, he remained standing. His hand hanging mid-air, he intended to open the door, but in the end, he only managed to punch the air.
The study’s window was open, and the sea breeze gently blew, bringing refreshing bursts of air from the outside.
He turned around and realized the window of the study overlooked the garden There stood a large maple tree in the distance.
He remembered that when Lu Weixi first set foot in the Qin Family home, it was at that maple tree where they met for the first time.
After having caught a glimpse of Lu Weixi at Osmanthus Garden, little did he know that he would soon be involved in a short-term international exchange program, leaving after just few days to join his instructor for a month’s time Coincidently, the place where they went for the exchange program was Vancouver, a city filled with maple leaves, and also the place where his father had died in a car accident. Before he returned, he even offered a bunch of flowers at the spot where his father died.
Upon his return, he threw himself into his studies; singing and dancing consumed his early nights, and the second part of his nights were for catching up on homework. Occasionally he would hear from Yu Sixing and He Weiyou that his brother, Qin Zhisu, had found a girlfriend who was also from the architectural college; they were equally matched in social status, and she was also the heiress of the Bai Family.
That time, he had no idea that Bai Weixi, as mentioned by Yu Sixing, was the same girl he saw at Osmanthus Garden. Upon hearing the news, he just went “Oh”, until their next encounter.
During his first face-to-face meeting with Lu Weixi, he was a bit surprised, but t e surprise was fleeting, and he quickly put two and two together as Lu Weixi greeted him distantly with a formal “Big brother”.
After Qin Zhisu left, he stopped her in her tracks, teasing her with a cocky grin “How are things going with him, have you guys done ‘it’ yet?”
Excuse his question, but he knew many people around him had already done it including Yu Sixing, He Weiyou, even Qin Zhizha and Qin Zhimei. Avoiding his ’ eyes as her face turned red from both embarrassment and anger, Qin Zhiyou instantly understood the situation. He asked again, “So, have you guys kissed
This time, he was met with the full wrath of the girl in front of him, resulting in a fierce slap across his face. Seeing the furious Bai family’s miss stomping away, complaining as she crossed paths with Qin Zhisu, left Qin Zhiyou sporting a slapped face and a smile.
He again had to admit, while he had a slight fancy for Lu Weixi at that time, the fact that she was Qin Zhisu’s girlfriend had made him think twice about his feelings. But regardless, teasing her was still fun; she was beautiful, with a fiery temper, yet still innocent. She was interested in Qin Zhisu, and out of spite, he was determined to steal her first kiss.
Unexpectedly, the opportunity came sooner than he had anticipated. The next day at the swimming pool, he ran into her during her swimming lessons Lu Weixi was boisterous back then, wearing a sexy swimsuit. The bright red swimsuit accentuated her fair complexion and beauty. As she was still warming up before the start of the lessons, her long black hair was casually resting on her shoulders, swaying rhythmically with her movements. It was mesmerizing to him and his friends – Yu Sixing and He Weiyou, who were present.
Seeing an opportunity to get her attention, he did not back down. He proceeded to walk to her with a smirk: “Learning to swim, huh? Let me teach you.” Lu Weixi, with her head lowered and showing no inclination of acknowledging him, said coldly, “No need.”
Qin Zhiyou stood in front of her and, just like a famous ancient poem described, he had her under his watchful eyes – just like endless towering peaks reaching the sky with a pavilion located atop, and a precipice right beneath. Because he was so close to her, he caught a whiff of a mysterious fragrance, unsure whether it was from her shampoo or just her natural scent but it was very enchanting.
When he didn’t leave, Lu Weixi tried to avoid him by walking to the side. But no sooner had she stepped away, he stretched his long legs to trip her and then pretended to stumble; both of them fell into the water.
Lu Weixi doesn’t know how to swim, and he swam over at just the right time.
The fear of drowning instinctively made Lu Weixi hold him very tight.
At the moment she held him, he was briefly intoxicated. If not for the people watching, he would have wished to stay that way.
He then swam back to the shore with her. Unsurprisingly, he received another fierce slap.
Getting slapped by her didn’t anger him. Her reaction only confirmed that it was her first kiss. That night, when Qin Zhisu came seeking an explanation he verbally shrugged it off. From the conversation, it appeared that Qin Zhisu was oblivious to his older brother’s interest in his girlfriend….
