Chapter 1318: Chapter 1311: For the Child (5) Chapter 1318: Chapter 1311: For the Child (5) Qin Zhiyou was startled. He was still in his pajamas, planning to sneak off after quietly freshening up. If it weren’t for Lu Weixi’s light sleep that he was afraid to disturb, he would have decided to climb out the window. Little did he know that upon leaving the room, he would still be caught red-handed.

Although Qin Zhiyou wasn’t even afraid of his own mother, Mrs. Yang, he was actually somewhat afraid of Lu’s mom. After all, Lu’s mom was the person Lu Weixi valued the most, and he had previously wronged their daughter.

“Mom.”

Lu’s mom rolled her eyes and gave him an indifferent glance, as if she wanted to scold him for something. Qin Zhiyou wasn’t stupid, he quickly lowered his voice and said, “Xixi is a light sleeper, she took a long time to fall asleep last night.”

He intentionally made his explanation sound ambiguous, and it indeed played on Lu’s mom’s concern for her daughter. Lu’s mom was willing to scold him and hit him, practically ready to kill him, but she was reluctant to implicate her daughter, so she glared at him fiercely, “Come with me.”

Qin Zhiyou knew his previous words had been effective and felt empowered, so he also knew how to respond, “Can I put on some clothes first?”

He was still in his pajamas and shorts, which indeed looked quite indecent. Lu’s mom did have anger in her heart, but she would not stop him from getting dressed, snorting without a word.

That must have meant agreement, Qin Zhiyou quickly nodded and went back, “Just a moment.”

After Qin Zhiyou returned to the room, Lu Weixi was already awake. She was somewhat groggy, and upon seeing Qin Zhiyou, she asked him, “Were you talking to my mom just now?”

Qin Zhiyou walked over with a calm face, sat on the edge of the bed, and methodically put on his clothes, “Yeah.”

He turned his head and saw Lu Weixi had sat up, with the blanket slipping down. Her hair fell over her shoulders, and her face visibly showed some worry.

Qin Zhiyou smiled lightly, “It’s nothing. Mom’s just a bit straightforward, but she didn’t scold me. Don’t worry, no matter how angry she gets later, I won’t talk back or retaliate.”

Lu Weixi was still a bit concerned, “But you…”

“Xixi.” Qin Zhiyou reached out his hand to smooth out her somewhat messy hair. He had something to say, like telling her that he had never thought about marrying someone else or dating other women. Maybe right after their divorce, he had indeed thought that if one day she found someone worth entrusting herself to, he might let go of his feelings and remarry to have children. It wouldn’t matter if it was love or just companionship to get through life.

But now, she was carrying his child, and it was visibly evident that they were heading towards reconciliation. Why would he go out of his way to make himself unhappy?

But he also knew that any promises he made about their relationship now might not be believed by her. Actions would be much more important.

He smoothed her hair and cradled the back of her head with his palm, then after a moment added, “Don’t overthink things. Too much worrying isn’t good for you or the baby.”

Lu Weixi wanted to say something in response, but upon hearing the words “too much worrying” and remembering her past experience with prenatal depression, she obediently nodded her head.

Qin Zhiyou looked at her, his gaze softening as he watched, “And another thing…”

“And what?”

Lu Weixi tilted her head, slightly confused. Qin Zhiyou slowly leaned in and sealed her questioning lips with his.

I don’t like you just because of the child; I like you, and that’s why we’re having a child.

He was too embarrassed to say this out loud, but after they parted, he shamelessly said, “Tonight, when I come over, I don’t want to sleep on the floor anymore.”
