My Hubby Can't Stop Pampering Me

Chapter 377: Chapter 378: What is Love (2)

After their whirlwind marriage, a cold war had persisted between them for nearly five years. But now, he had stormed into her life with an imposing attitude, and she was unable to escape or argue. She could only passively endure—as if encased within Stockholm Syndrome, a kidnapped woman dependent on her wicked captor. But once escaped, could she reclaim her old life?

— “Lu, Lu what’s going on?”

Off to the side, Xiaochen and Xiaoqian saw her lost in thought, frantically waving their hands in front of her to get her attention. Lu Weixi came to her senses, shook her head and said, “It’s nothing, let’s keep going.”

She fought to focus, trying to rouse herself with a cup of black coffee. But the caffeine did little to lift her clouded consciousness, instead leaving a bitter residue lingering in her throat.

At lunchtime, a bunch of girls squatting together to watch a livestream after finishing their meal filled the empty hours. Xiaochen was particularly fond of the movie streaming site they were gathered around. It was strange though. Usually, only Xiaochen and Xiaoqian watched the stream, but today a whole crowd of Lulu ladies had congregated. They even closed the door and drew the curtains, behaving in a suspicious manner.

As Lu Weixi passed by, she glanced at the content and recognized a popular old movie. Xiaoqian and Xiaochen, who were still unwed, were watching it eagerly while munching popcorn: “Goodness, you think they could really be in love?” Xiaoqian giggled, “Why not? Mr. Yi is played by Liang Chaowei. Would you be able to resist the charm?”

Xiaoqian immediately added, “Mr. Yi is a domineering CEO after all!”

Xiaochen countered, “But Wang Lihong isn’t bad either, he’s tall and handsome.”

Off to the side, Lu Weixi was getting a headache from listening. She quickly found an excuse to leave.

As if he could hear her thoughts, someone actually sent her a WeChat message. Before unlocking her phone, she saw that it was from Qin Zhiyou.

Lu Weixi found her hand that was holding her phone began to heat up. What was Qin Zhiyou looking for her for? Was he coming?

As luck would have it, she was passing by the cleaning room at this time, and once she caught sight of the semi-opened door, she quickly bowed her head, hurried away, and didn’t open her phone until she was back at her desk.

The message Qin Zhiyou sent was to confirm her measurements for a custom- made dress. Lu Weixi saw that the size in the message was probably her old size, she replied with a “Hmm.” Qin Zhiyou didn’t forget to flirt: “Are you sure?”

Lu Weixi promptly exited WeChat, refusing to look at him anymore. How on earth had she fallen in love with such a person!

However, that night when she was alone in her bedroom, his scent permeated the room. Lying on her bed, it almost felt as though he was everywhere.
