The soundproofing in the mansion was really good, because he couldn’t hear anything from under the window.
He could pretend to be an ostrich, since he could neither see nor hear anything, even though his hands had involuntarily tightened.
It would be false to say that he wasn’t jealous at all. Their breakup had been a complete mess. After Lu Weixi and Qin Zhiyou got together, he vaguely realized that the things before their breakup had all been misunderstandings, but it was too late for regrets.
Watching them being intimate every day, and then marrying not long after, was like being pierced by a thousand arrows.
But what could he say? Everything was his fault. He shouldn’t have believed what his eyes saw and what his ears heard. He misunderstood her and hurt her. When she needed him the most, he hurt her deeply, and she would never forgive him again.
In the years to come, he only hoped that she could live a peaceful and joyful life, with everything going her way. If he couldn’t be her prince, he would be her knight instead.
The next day.
Lu Weixi, who came down for breakfast, had large dark circles under her eyes. Before breakfast was served, she sat on the couch, yawning nonstop. f𝐫eewe𝚋nove𝗹.𝗰o𝚖
Then, Qin Zhigu descended the stairs slowly, his eyes also framed by vivid dark circles. Noticing that only Qin Zhiyou and Lu Weixi were downstairs, he paused for a moment, took a breath to steady himself, and then continued to descend, sitting as far away from them as possible on the couch.
Qin Zhiyou, hearing the footsteps, knew who was coming downstairs at this hour. Among the three of them, he was the only one who was refreshed, with not a trace of tiredness, and he had even recovered from the fatigue of the day before.
Sometimes, Lu Weixi had to marvel at how some people could be so energetic after only five or six hours of sleep, and how some could still have black hair at fifty or sixty. On the other hand, she felt lethargic if she didn’t get eight hours of sleep, especially if she had engaged in physical activities the day before.
Originally, Lu Weixi had been sitting upright on the sofa, but due to fatigue, aching back and legs, she found herself unable to sit up straight any longer, and her body involuntarily leaned to one side.
Noticing this, Qin Zhiyou immediately moved over to let her lean on him. As he shifted, he complained, “Why are you so weak? You really need to get in shape.”
Lu Weixi glared at him. He leaned into her ear and whispered softly, “I didn’t do much to you last night.”
The voice was very soft, spoken just by her ear. But anyway, Qin Zhigu was there, and instantly, her face, neck, and ears all turned red. She glanced quickly at Qin Zhigu from the corner of her eye. He was looking down, sipping from a cup of tea, not glancing in their direction.
Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, and gently pushed Qin Zhiyou away: “Enough.”
“Don’t you remember, we used to do this all the time.” Indeed, five years ago when Lu Weixi moved into the Qin mansion to get back at Qin Zhigu and Cai Yiren, Qin Zhiyou was always close to her. It was common for him to say provocative things in front of Qin Zhigu, in addition to leaving marks all over her.
But as soon as Qin Zhigu went overseas, she toned it down and kept a low profile in front of others, no matter what drama unfolded behind the scenes.
“That was then. Now…” she shook her head. Back then, she was surrounded by anger, hatred, and jealousy from being betrayed.
The flame of rage that felt hot enough to burn her bones has gradually faded away..
