Chapter 366: Chapter 367: So Close Yet So Far (3)
“That’s good.” Yang Mogui finally turned her gaze, and walked back to her room.
Qin Zhiyou held her and went upstairs until they reached the door of the room, his arm was tightly wrapped around her waist.
Once inside the room, Lu Weixi spoke: “What’s with the banquet?”.
“Just that, you’re going with me.” As soon as he saw her reluctant expression, Qin Zhiyou immediately withdrew his hand from her waist, indifferently taking off his jacket, even his voice cooled several degrees.
Lu Weixi furrowed her brows. She had attended this banquet before with Zhisu. It wasn’t public, there was no red carpet or group photos, and no celebrities to stir things up.
However, many eyes were on this high-class banquet. Even if there was no media coverage, people would share pictures on Weibo, and some pictures even reached the trending list a few years ago.
She had not attended for five years, not because she was afraid of gossip, nor was she afraid to meet Bai Changyou and the others.
But Fang Rushuang might be present at this kind of banquet…
She was a person who never cared about the hardships from second or third wives, and she was able to handle Bai Changyou and Cai Yiren calmly. Other people’s gossip didn’t affect her, because she behaved righteously and had never wronged anyone, therefore she was not afraid of idle talk.
Only when facing Fang Rushuang, did she feel guilty. And, she didn’t know if Qin Zhiyou still had feelings for Rushuang…
She sneaked a glance at Qin Zhiyou. He seemed indifferent, showing no sign of intimacy with her. It was completely different to how he acted in front of Yang Mogui and at Siyi Company.
She knew that Qin Zhiyou’s enthusiasm today was not because he was in love with her, but because he enjoyed the thrill of “sneaking around”.
When Qin Zhiyou flirts, it can be overwhelming. However, when he grows cold, it feels like you’ve fallen into an ice hole. And that’s why he’s never been controlled by a woman, despite having countless female companions over the years.
She had never thought that Qin Zhiyou would treat her this way. In the old days, he would tease her from time to time. But at that time, she was preoccupied with Zhisu and his inappropriate gestures, so she didn’t feel much. After marriage, their sexual life was more like a routine, not meaningful at all.
But recently, their relationship had improved, and he started to flirt with her the way he does with other girls. Though she knew what kind of man he was and was angry about his disrespectful behavior, she didn’t really hate it, and occasionally felt a little flutter in her heart…
But what if the woman was Fang Rushuang?
“…Okay.” Lu Weixi glanced at him, murmuring in agreement, then she lowered her head to change her clothes into her nightgown.
As she lowered her head, Qin Zhiyou’s gaze shifted towards her. He realized she was feeling down, perhaps blaming him for showing up at Siyi Company without notice, disrupting her work plans. His pursuit of excitement was actually because he was not at ease with Zhisu lingering around her, so he tightened the string. He had indeed prepared her outfit for the banquet long ago. He remembered how proud Zhisu looked when he had taken her to the banquet. Now she was his wife, of course, he needed to show her off.
But, she seemed not happy about it.
Qin Zhiyou wanted to comfort her, but didn’t know what to say. So he simply turned to leave: “I’m going to the study..”
