Chapter 21: Reasons for Being Unable to Divorce (1)

It had almost been a month since Qin Zhiyou left that day.

He seemed to have cut his hair short, and become skinnier. Dressed in red, the color suited him and he looked as good as usual. As he did not button his polo shirt, it made the outfit more casual. With the charismatic smile on his face when he got on the stage, he easily won the hearts of all the ladies present.

Taking the microphone from the host, he greeted the crowd with a bright smile. “Thank you, everyone, for coming to Han Hai and taking part in our events. Today is the five-year… anniversary of our mall.”

He paused here for a moment and noticed Lu Weixi, who was dining on the second floor when he looked up. Their eyes met, and Lu Weixi felt that his pause had another meaning to it. Somewhat surprised and a little indignant.

He immediately looked away, his expression unchanged, as if she were a pebble that could not make any ripples.

“… We welcome all the customers here to take part in our lucky draw for a chance to win one of our three prizes. First prize is a four-day, three-night maiden voyage on Han Hai Cruises. Second prize is a gold bangle from Zhang Shengsheng, and the third prize is an Orange brand phone.”

After he spoke, he interacted with the emcee a little before he left, guided by the workers. He did not look at her, nor did he send her any messages. It was as if their eyes meeting earlier was an illusion.

But Lu Weixi instantly put the matter behind her and continued with dinner. Even Xue Feifei was speechless at her nonchalance.

After dinner, Xue Feifei had planned to watch a movie and go to a spa, but her manager suddenly called. She was required to redo a scene for a film that she had already completed, and that her manager would come to pick her up. Xue Feifei agreed, and the pair carried all the items to the curb to wait for the car.

From afar, Xue Feifei saw a large group of people sending Qin Zhiyou out. It was almost as if he was an emperor from ancient times. He even had a few pretty assistants and secretaries around him. She moved her mouth, motioning in his direction. “Gosh look over there at all that fuss. I don’t know what he and Liu Yiyi are like, but I’m guessing he dumped her. So there’s been a lot of restless women recently.”

As she spoke, Xue Feifei looked in the direction of the crowd. Perhaps it was because they were standing in the most prominent position at the entrance, it seemed that Qin Zhiyou was slowly heading towards them. She deliberately raised her voice. “Sigh you, don’t be all quiet, this is a great opportunity, why aren’t you declaring ownership? If he ditches you one day after he’s tired of you and you don’t get anything, all you can do is cry!”

The entire time Lu Weixi never looked up, nor did she pay any attention to the commotion. She only kicked the pebbles on the curb when Xue Feifei was done talking. “Don’t worry, I’m not fussed. I won’t act all high and mighty, nor will I let myself be fooled easily. Couples share assets, and he has so many companions. If that day ever comes, I will not lose out, I’ll definitely take a big cut from him,” she said softly with an even expression.

Almost immediately after she spoke, the commotion behind her went silent.
