Chapter 1325: Chapter 1318: Long Separation Leads to Reunion (4)

“Is he really busy?” Lu Weixi thought. Indeed, Qin Zhiyou used to work until 11 or 12 at night and it might be midnight by the time he got home. She herself sometimes worked really hard, but now for the sake of the baby, she had to rest early.

Lu Weixi thought for a moment, drew the curtains, unlocked the window, but it still looked tightly closed from the outside. When she was getting ready for bed, she remembered what he had said about not wanting to sleep on the floor. She had tidied up the bed sheet he used last night, placed the blanket he used by the bed, and gotten him a new pillow.

Before she returned home today, she had also bought new pajamas for Qin Zhiyou. She intended to take them out, but then she felt it was being too forward. So, she hid them away, placing them at the very bottom of the wardrobe.

After arranging everything, she lay down. She was about to send him a message saying, “Are you still busy?” But as soon as she finished typing, she felt like a lovelorn woman naively waiting, so she promptly deleted it. Then she typed “Goodnight,” and deleted that, one letter at a time.

Forget it, this guy appears and disappears unpredictably. If he wants to come over, he will surely come by himself.

But when Lu Weixi woke up at dawn, the pillow beside her and the blanket were untouched, and there were no signs of anyone climbing through the window.

Maybe he was just too busy?

Lu Weixi didn’t think much of it, got up as usual to wash up, finished breakfast early, and went to the company. There were still reporters today, but fewer than yesterday. When she checked her phone for news, some reporters had posted her photos with Paul. Some Italian-speaking netizens had translated their conversation; although they didn’t know who “Simpson” was, they generally got the gist of it. At least it was clear that there was nothing romantically ambiguous between Paul and her, so she was cleared of suspicion.

Back at the studio, Lu Weixi habitually called Xiaochen: “Black coffee, please.”

She suddenly remembered that black coffee might not be good for the baby, and quickly stopped him: “Never mind, make it a cup of hot milk.”

Now that she had a baby, she indeed needed to be more careful. Although she had been pregnant five years ago, she was depressed at the time and didn’t read many of the pregnancy books that Qin Zhiyou had bought. After work today, she really needed to go to the mall.

During the lunch break, Xiaochen and Xiaoqian were going to order burgers and also asked Lu Weixi, “Boss Lu, there’s a buy one, get one free deal on spicy burgers and pies today, do you want us to get you one?”

Lu Weixi refused without a second thought: “No need to include me, I’ll buy my own food.”

When the food arrived, Xiaochen saw that it was very healthy: chicken soup, bland light dishes with no spice, porridge, and even the drink was rock sugar pear juice.

Xiaochen clicked his tongue, “Boss Lu, if it wasn’t for the rumors outside about your divorce, I’d suspect you were eating postpartum meals. That’s what my sister ate when she was in confinement.”

Lu Weixi nearly dropped her spoon: “Just eat your meal.”

Before going home in the evening, Lu Weixi made a point to stop by the mall. Next to the bookstore was the maternity and baby section. As Lu Weixi walked by, she admired the dazzling array of tiny clothes and dresses with some envy. But when a salesperson approached, she jumped away like a rabbit and hurried to the neighboring store to buy a set of pregnancy guides.

Returning home full of anticipation, there was still no sign of Qin Zhiyou. Lu Weixi silently turned to a page in the pregnancy guide, which read, “Pregnant women should maintain emotional stability,” then silently kicked his pillow off the bed.
