Chapter 1328: Chapter 1321: Long Separation Leads to Reunion (7)

Lu Weixi also ran in:”Even if that’s the case, you can’t just dump him in the room; throw him in the living room.”

Is she still mad? Qin Zhiyou might be busy, but he always finds time to send a message or make a call. When he disappears, it’s for days on end, who knows what disreputable things he’s doing outside.

Lu’s mother was initially reluctant to let Qin Zhiyou through the door. If it hadn’t been for Secretary Wang, she would have kicked him out earlier. But even after letting him in, she didn’t want her daughter taking care of him in the middle of the night. It was fine to leave him on the couch.

Secretary Wang helped him to the couch, and Qin Zhiyou collapsed on it as soon as he touched it. Secretary Wang stepped out for a moment and indeed returned with bags big and small, “Young Madam, I’ll leave President Qin here. I’ll come back tomorrow morning.”

Lu Weixi didn’t respond until he left.

Afterward, the mother and daughter washed up in turns and returned to their rooms. Before going to sleep, Lu’s mother glanced at Qin Zhiyou, who was still slumped at a forty-five-degree angle on the couch, unshod and undressed, without even a blanket, and her daughter hadn’t attended to him.

She looked once, returned to her own room, waited until the sounds of her daughter putting things away next door ceased, and the lights went out before she could rest easy, not caring about Qin Zhiyou’s situation at all.

Lu Weixi indeed went to bed after she had put everything away–she couldn’t care less about a grown man left in the living room.

Who cares about him? They weren’t married anymore. His drinking too much was his problem; after all, he was discussing his business, which had nothing to do with her. He valued his business more than her and even more than the child in her womb. And not a single word before he left for out of town for three days, not even a message. Was she not worried about him?

After finishing her skincare, she lay in bed, turned off the lights in a huff. But perhaps because she was preoccupied with thoughts, she woke up in the middle of the night, groggily went to the bathroom, and then to the living room to pour herself a glass of water. When she got there, she saw him.

Qin Zhiyou was still in the same position, probably uncomfortable without a blanket, slightly cold. Lu Weixi watched him for a long time, hesitated, then helped him to lie flat. She took off his leather shoes, seeing his frowned face, his body curled up as if a bit cold. She hesitated again, went back to her room, fetched a thin blanket for summer, and gently covered him.

After placing the blanket, she didn’t leave. Instead, she squatted by the sofa, looking at his sleeping face for quite a while. Just as she was about to stand up and leave, she suddenly noticed something bulky in his pocket, a corner sticking out. It didn’t look like a phone, more like a small box.

Driven by curiosity, Lu Weixi quietly pulled out the little box from his pocket. Opening it, she realized it was unequivocally a jewelry box. Inside was a ring.

More precisely, a diamond ring.

Even though the living room’s light was dim, she could still see the faint glow reflected by the diamond. Lu Weixi looked at the ring, which seemed to contain faint inscriptions. Touching it lightly, indeed, on the inner circle of the ring, it was clearly engraved with “X&Y.”

As Lu Weixi’s fingers traced the “X,” her heart truly skipped a beat. This was indisputably bought by Qin Zhiyou for her–they also had one when they first got married.
