My Hubby Can't Stop Pampering Me-Chapter 447 - 448: Familiar (1)
Chapter 447: Chapter 448: Familiar (1)
Qin Zhiyou’s words instantly silenced the room.
This included not only the recently outraged Cai Yiren, Yiren’s mother who wanted to defend her, and Qin Zhigu who wanted to scold Yiren, but also Bai Changyou and Fang Zheng on their end. Fang Rushuang merely lifted her head to look at Qin Zhiyou, her eyes flickering slightly.
After a moment, it was Qin Zhigu who was the angriest. He gritted his teeth, “Qin Zhiyou, you really are…you really…”
Last time they fought, he had demanded to know if Qin Zhiyou had harbored improper thoughts about Lu Weixi. Back then, Qin Zhiyou had neither admitted nor denied it. But he did not expect that he would admit it today, and in such a context.
Qin Zhiyou was frank. After all, she was already his wife now. He just hugged Lu Weixi’s shoulders and proudly declared, “I did indeed have feelings for her long ago, but she was your girlfriend at the time. So after you two broke up, it was only natural that she and I got together.”
Despite how serious he was, few people actually took his words seriously. If he really loved Lu Weixi that much, why did he have so many female companions during their five-year marriage?
However, it was during the time he was dating Fang Rushuang that Qin Zhiyou behaved properly and was never involved with any other woman!
Love is meant to be exclusive, even if it’s not forever. This was something that Qin Zhiyou had never shown to Lu Weixi.
Rather, it seemed more fitting to say that Lu Weixi was now his wife, and that he was just articulating some respectful words to uphold his wife’s dignity.
Among everyone present, only Fang Rushuang kept her eyes on Qin Zhiyou. Her gaze was filled with confusion and uncertainty. She had kept hearing that there was discord between Qin Zhiyou and Lu Weixi. At the last banquet, several of his mistresses had even publicized their affairs. It was evident that Lu Weixi’s mother’s illness was due to Qin Zhiyou’s philandering.
She had never seen a man who truly loved his wife treat her this way.
However, she did believe his claim that he had been lusting for Lu Weixi five years ago. Qin Zhiyou was known to be a womanizer, and Lu Weixi being attractive meant that it wouldn’t have been out of character for him to want a taste too.
But love…
“Furthermore.” Qin Zhiyou, oblivious to Fang Rushuang’s thoughts, turned to look at Bai Changyou, his voice cold, “It was my idea not to cooperate with the Bai family. However, I’m not unreasonable. If you want to cooperate, I have two conditions. Choose one. As long as one condition is met, I’ll immediately commence cooperation with the Bai family.”
Bai Changyou came today precisely for this matter. Upon hearing this, he immediately responded, “What are the conditions? As long as I can accomplish them, I will do it!”
With an indifferent expression, Qin Zhiyou replied, “One of them might be difficult to achieve, but I believe you can accomplish the other.”
Bai Changyou knew he was baiting him and nodded, “Tell me what’s difficult first.”
Qin Zhiyou nodded towards the Intensive Care Unit: “If Mom can fully recover to the condition she was in two days ago, then I’ll agree to your proposition.”
Bai Changyou froze. Lu Weixi’s mother had cancer, not a cold. Even if she hadn’t been angered the day before, who knew when her health would suddenly deteriorate? A person’s body is like porcelain; it may appear intact one day, but a slight tap could render it irreparable.
“Then what can I accomplish?” Bai Changyou asked.
